I bought some 90% silver coins from a person I knew. Got a decent deal on those, and paid a little less than mkt value (at the time I bought them).
Bought a few Silver Eagles from every year of production going back to 1990, also bought some 1 ounce silver bars, and a couple ten oz bars.
I did most of this when silver was around 40-48 an ounce.
My timing sucks..........
