i was told that there are counterfeit silver eagles, too.
if i buy through coin dealers and ampex then i should get genuine stuff.
once i get genuine stuff there are some technical means to establish veracity or i can just use the ring test and listen for the proper frequency which cannot be counterfeited (yes?).
maybe there should be a separate procedure for buying from private parties. perhaps more emphasis or exclusive empshais on silver eagles from private parties?
then i might eventually end up with a mix of silver eagles and peace dollars.
perhaps it would be good to have a mix of silver eagles and peace dollars for its own sake, since after TSHTF, some folks might take one but not the other.
There is no smaller modern US denomination than silver eagle, i take it(?)
There are dealers on EBay including APMEX.
Pre 65 times, quarters and halves are fine to buy from private dealers.
SE and CM I buy from dealers.
Morgans and Peace dollars are where you have to be careful. You should be good if weight and size are on. I have some but the premium is so high. Better off with dimes, quarters and halves.
EBay guarantees their sales.
Hadn't heard SE were being faked.
