If you insist on buying junk silver, try not to buy dimes. Quarters, halves & dollares are much better. The dimes are typically worn and have lost up to about 8% of their weight in wear.
Consider that Roosevelt forced everyone to turn in their gold at $22or $23 an oz. Then he devalued the dollar to 35 an oz. The kleptocrats will work it one way or another to strip our assets when Mr. Mierda meets Mr. Fan. Make sure you can eat and protect your family imho.
People buy and sell silver dimes by the pound, not per coin...or so I’m told.
Believe me, I haven't forgotten. This is one of the reasons why I'm looking to silver for the time being.

The advantage to dimes is when silver gets to 500/oz trying to spend dollars is like walking around with 100 dollar bills and trying to make change. The same with gold, try to find 1 gram pieces same reason.
