    No need to be worried if you love wild rides. I love them :)[/quote]

    Haha, alright.
    I need some quick advice. What would you recommend I purchase?
    10x 1oz Mercury Dimes ($183.10)
    10 oz ProvidentMetals Silver Bar ($181.84)
    10x 1oz Silver Eagle 2014 ($207.90)

    Would you say it's worth paying extra for the Mercury Dimes, or even the silver eagles?[/quote]



    If you are buying silver because you believe that the physical silver itself is where the only value is (not in the design or whether the silver piece has a nominal fiat currency denomination on it) and everything else being equal, then the provident bars are your best buy. If not, then you will have to make the decision based on what you believe.


    EDIT: Just realized that the 181.10 on the Mercury dimes was actually 183.10 (so I changed the text of my comment)....doh on me! :)

    Surely your quantity is wrong on the Dimes. If not, stay far, far away from the Dimes.

    Heck I can come up with 10 Mercury Dimes for $90 with free shipping too. :)

    1) Buy the dimes.
    2) Have them graded by DCCPA (Dccpa's Complete Coin Pro Assessment) as a very rare "error - struck on 1 oz silver planchet"
    3) Profit!!

    I would buy the mercs anyway...if you just sell one for $20, the cost per oz would be cheaper than buying the 10 oz bar.

    If I am not going to pay attention, I may as well get to work. :)
