waynesa98 ~ why do you want to pay for the striking costs and other handling fees to buy coins? Silver troy ingots same stuff less intermediaries, more industrial demand, IE better faster cheaper.

VeniVidiVici ~ Good question. Here's one back at you. If you were buying selling something and silver was the means of payment, would you rather take a known quantity of silver such as an old silver coin or would you accept a silver ingot with a hedgehog on it? Seriously. Because I've been asking this question of myself.

Second thought; would you rather be seen as the guy who has precious metal ingots or the guy who is reduced to reluctantly spending the pitifully few silver coins his saintly aunt Maude left him?

Who's more apt to get targeted for robbery?
