<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 2523023, member: 13430"]I occasionally buy silver (when it seems cheap) and sell (when it seems high). I do it via junk silver US coin bags. Calling around, I was able to find a local shop that has reasonably small buy/sell spreads. My last purchase was Aug 2018, and calculating the silver content, and the silver price that day, the premium over spot silver was a little over 3%. For relatively small amounts, this works ok. If I was doing big money, I'd consider the ETFs mentioned earlier. But it's a more fun to have it in hand. The premium mentioned by [USER=1262]@Joe2007[/USER] is crazy. There should be other better local options than that. Another thing to consider is state laws regarding sales tax. In my state, fortunately, there is no sales tax on silver and gold bullion, and junk silver is considered bullion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
