It is hard to beat ebay. I did not go on ebay for years but once you go on there it is surprisingly very easy to buy coins. Look at the person an check their feedback rating they're given.

Before you bid, go and find out what the coin's silver content is worth and then add the shipping and handling and stay up under that number. I have been lucky up until now. Look at quarters and dimes that have at least 90% silver.

Do not bid on coins that are not at least 90% silver and don't be talked into buying any coin as a collectible. I have some that are but I paid strictly what the silver content was worth. If you have any other questions just PM me.

Good luck, don't get caught up into having to have what you are bidding for on ebay. There will be another item to bid on after that one goes away.

Last but most important, don't buy silver as an investment! Buy is as insurance for a economic collapse that will surely come in you children's lifetime.

It (silver prices) will fluctuate from time to time but don't get hung up on that. Buy to keep and not sell. That is how you will always win in buying silver. I have maybe 10 lbs. of silver and a couple of pounds of gold that I have bought over the years that is not for sell.

I buy silver strictly to insure my family will survive during an economic collapse. Don't forget this message.

Thank you!

I am putting my extra money into security. Food, Shelter, ammo, clothing etc.... Silver will be used after the collapse for barter. I am not looking at is an investment insomuch as planning for the aftermath.

Ebay is good for scrap silver coins. As well, I have family members who have bought from this silver miner/silver coin producer, First Majestic.

Turk - Swiss Bank Client Battles Over 2 Months For His Silver

Since King World News broke the news with Jim Rickards that a Swiss bank client was refused his $40 million of gold and had to threaten the bank to get it, the story has been going viral. KWN interviewed James Turk out of London today to get his comments on the situation. Turk responded by citing another example, “I found that Jim Rickards comments about the individual who had difficulty getting $40 million of gold out of the Swiss bank where he had it stored very interesting. I could tell you several stories of similar experiences.”

“Let me just cite one example that is ongoing. This individual has been storing with a Swiss bank twenty bars (1,000 ounce bars) of silver which has a market value today of just over $550,000. So, it’s not only large transactions that are affected, but small ones too.

When I last emailed this individual a couple of weeks ago, he was still trying to get his silver from this Swiss bank. This has been going on for over two months, and again we are only talking about 20,000 ounces of silver. This may seem unimaginable to some people, but I had told this individual in September when he contacted me that I had seen this problem repeatedly with other people.

He was quite confident that he wouldn’t have a problem getting his silver because he had been paying storage fees on it since buying it in the late 1990’s. The Swiss bank is insisting that he take cash, but he is demanding his silver which is supposed to be sitting in the bank’s vault be delivered to him. As I said before Eric, I know of other examples like this one.

Circling back around to the Jim Rickards interview, he ended with some very good advice, with which I wholeheartedly agree. Make sure your gold and silver are stored outside of the banking system.”

With regards to gold and silver specifically Turk stated, “It is important for people to keep their eye on the big picture and not be distracted by short-term volatility in the price of gold and silver. The long-term trend for both precious metals is still pointing higher.”

What in the world is going on with some of these banks that are supposed to be storing their customers gold and silver? Have they leased it out to another entity? Have they sold their customers precious metals and left an IOU in the vault while continuing to charge custodial fees? King World News may have only scratched the surface of what could turn out to be a fraud inside of some of these banks.

During economic collapse, I don't see coins being that valuable. It will be non-perishable foods, guns, ammo, fuel, generators, tools, alcohol, etc. If you want to live well during economic and government collapse, you should learn how to make alcohol. Because you will be able to trade it for just about anything. And could be used as drink and a fuel source, very valuable commodities.

If someone wanted to trade me a silver coin for a gallon of moonshine, if times were as bad as I think they are going to be, I would turn it down. But if they bring ammo for my favorite rifle for trade, then we could work something out.
