Silver and Gold

Definitely a collector
I got one of these off a member here, it's my only "Collector Piece", but she's a dandy.

The premiums on the smaller stuff will eat into your margins. 1 ounce gold maples or kruggerands (sp??) are the best priced gov't minted gold for the money. Bullion bars should be able to be purchased at approx. under 3% over spot. I have ordered from BGASC.com many times and no issues. The best prices I have found online most of the time.
 
Don't buy anything from Communist China...i.e. Pandas and the like.

There is a monthly Atlanta Coin show usually the second Sunday of each month in Marrietta. Last Sunday was the July show, so you will have to wait until August. Be very careful buying on ebay, I have and have not been burned, but I was buying 90% "junk" silver, highly unlikely to be counterfeit and with no numismatic value.

I personally avoid "slabbed" coins.

I collect in 3 broad categories.

Silver rounds issued by a government, US Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs;
90% junk silver, pre-1965 US coins with 90% silver content;
Morgan and Peace dollars for silver content and some numismatic value.

I ain't an expert, but this is what works for me and makes sense.
