So why buy American Silver Eagles (Have we invaded you yet?), Canadian Maple Leafs (Clean country,hey), and what ever that Aussie thing is(Just kidding). I like them all and even the Libertads! But why do we(.you) pay a premium?
I have nothing against ASE's and own them. You asked for pure investment advice. Don't ask for advice if all you want is reassurance. You asking for reassurance??? I like Eagles.
I am not an Eagle hater as I own them and find them attractive. My point is strictly as an investment, generic bars and rounds are a better investment. Buy at the lowest price point..999 silver is .999 silver. Why pay more for an Eagle?
I would have to disagree. My local dealer, Baxter&Dempsey will pay me between $0.50-$1.00 under spot for rounds,bars or Eagles any day of the week. Price is closer to spot the more you have to sell.
