</script></div><p>If you&#8217;re  a small time investor and or collector of silver coins or silver bullion, the price you pay should be low enough for you to make a profit within the shortest period of time. As a result, finding new ways to buy at a discount are in your favor.</p>
<p>Below you will find numerous ways to easily make low cost buys without to much effort.</p>
<p>9 Basic Steps On How to Buy Silver Cheap</p>
<p>1. Discover what the market value is for silver per ounce. You can do an on line search or look it up in your daily paper. Being familiar with this information will help you when you start to negotiate later.</p>
<p>2. Seek out your local area for silver vendors. Try to find at least two or three within your driving range. Your mission will be to pit their prices against each other eventually siding with the one who gives you the best price. You can also do the same with on line stores.</p>
<p>3. If you are buying more than just a small amount, like 20oz or more, ask your dealer for a discount on larger volume purchases. If the dealer tries to hold his ground, ask him to at least give you a no tax sale on anything over $500.</p>
<p>4. Make use of on line auction sites. They are a vary good source for exceptional prices. In my opinion, they are hands down the best value per dollar you can spend. I found one site that sold 30oz of pure silver for under $4.00. As I am writing this article, I checked the same auction site. The last sale of 30oz pure silver went for just $26.46 USD. That is about 0.89 cents an oz.</p>
<p>5. Try to cut a deal with convenience store clerks. Tell them you will buy any silver coins they come across for cash on the spot. Give them a set price for dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars. I personally accumulated over $200 USD in US quarters this way not to mention a whole roll of Indian head nickels. You will be surprised at how many silver coins are still in circulation.<a href='http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Buy-Silver-Cheap&amp;id=3024874' target='_blank'>silver cheap</a></p>
<p>6. Advertise yourself in local news papers or online as a silver buyer/seller. This technique will require some start up capital. Make sure your price spread between what you are willing to pay and what you willing to sell it for are large enough for profit. Even if you do not sell what you buy right away, you will in time sell for profit at a later date or trade it for something of equal value.</p>
<p>7. Be on the look out for garage sales. You will {most likely|probably|almost certainly} not find any coins or silver ounces. On the other hand, you may find some sterling silverware that can be sold for cash or more silver.</p>
<p>8. Consider a direct marketing silver business or multi level marketing business that deals in silver coins. This is an easy way to leverage the cost of paying full price for silver. It can also turn into a full time home based business.</p>
<p>9. Last but not the least; ask your seller about pricing out junk bags of US silver coins. These coins should be at 90% silver content. The discount will not be large yet still it should be under market spot pricing by 1% or so.</p>
<p>Now that you know how to buy silver cheap, what do you do with it?</p>
<p>In consideration of the financial woes that the world is in today, it is crucial to have physical possession of your investments. Do not be fooled into believing a promise to pay via a banking instrument like paper money will always be of value. God forbid, if the banks continue to fail, cash to be useless. Then all you will have is what you have. On the lighter side, once we get over this monster money crisis, whatever you have will be worth more. So keep it safe and keep it close at hand.</p>

<p>Can investing and collecting go hand-in-hand?</p>
<p>Yes  says Larry Schutts on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/15/collectible-investments-american-eagle-silver-proof-dollars/">BloggingStocks</a>.  Every year he has given his brothers a new American Eagle Silver Proof dollar (featuring the same Adolph Weinman design as U.S. half dollars between 1916 and 1947), which the US Mint has issued since 1986.  Having told his brothers for years that the coins would accumulate value over time, he recently decided to test that assertion.</p>
<p>Larry concludes that (excluding the 1995 West Point Dollar which was part of a limited edition set also containing four gold American Eagle proofs  ) the dollars have collectively gained 200% over their original Mint prices.  Not bad if it&#8217;s an investment you&#8217;ve had pleasure from owning as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=6327">numismaster.com</a> explains why it always makes sense to collect the key coins in a series first, even though many collectors don&#8217;t.  The article explains the key coins for several series, such as Walking Liberty half  dollars</p>
<p>From the article:</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">&#8220;Coin collectors are often advised to buy the key coins in a series first, as these are the coins most likely to appreciate. Yet, despite the wisdom of this advice, few collectors actually follow it.   A key coin is just what the name implies: It&#8217;s the key that unlocks the door leading to set completion. Without this coin or coins, you&#8217;ll never fill all the holes in the album. </span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;"><br />
Of course, that&#8217;s also true of the most common coin in the set, but the difference is that the common piece is nearly always attainable, in any condition you desire. The key coin, on the other hand, is often simply not available when you want it, or it may not be readily available in the grade you want.&#8221;</span></em></span></p>
