    Where do you guys usually get your silver? Local coin shop, huge deals from mints (online), local pawn shop, forums, ebay, or others?

    I've been gettin my stuff from local coin shops, but I might try and find an alternative method of getting silver in the future due to the shops having huge premiums.

    Aurora et Luna, eBay (if I see a bargain), local coin shops (if I see something cool and unusual).

    For the last 3 years I have bought 98% of my silver from a coin shop. It's a father and son business and they have been in the game since 1982.

    I go into the shop every week for a chat about silver and he puts aside goodies that I might be interested in. The best part, he lets me layby.

    Because I buy from him I don't have to pay postage on items bought.

    However you stackers who live in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane have great dealers who look after SS members with prices that are very good.

    It's the old story You can't have everything.

    Regards Errol43
