This group is a wealth of knowledge and helpful advice, THANK YOU!!

Hi, I'm new to collecting/stacking... not sure what category I fall into. Actually, I am a coin nerd so I know I have a little collector in me... lol So, I went on amazon.com and purchased some plastic containers to store my newly acquired rounds and silver dollars. Only to find out that these containers contain pvc, which could harm the contents. Yeah... I should have done my homework first but didn't realize there was this component to storing bullion and coins. Can anyone recommend the best place to get "safe" hard containers to store coins and rounds? Lot of websites out there, just want to make sure I'm going to the solid sources. Appreciate your assistance. Andy

Thanks for the great info! This really gets me off to a great start.

Cool, thanks all for the tips!! Will run down those leads and see where it lands me. BTW, what's a "stacker" vs. "collector"? I've always been a kind of coin nerd so I'm fascinated with the older morgans and ben franklins and really anything early 19th century and wow 18th century really cool - but gets expensive... The bullion is cool but not as appealing to me. I'll likely try to diversify across minted coins and silver bullion - I definitely see value in both. The one draw back I see with coins is you likely have to make sure they're preserved in a certain level of condition. Whereas bullion is not so finicky about condition??

Hi, good afternoon! I'm new to buying silver - especially online. Is there a good place to start with identifying credible outfits that sell bullion and coins vs. scammers? I've purchased primarily from JM Bullion b/c a buddy of mine recommended them and they are local to me. Can anyone recommend any of their favorite online outfits that would also be good to shop at? With the dawn of all of this digital currency i.e., Bitcoin I feel compelled to acquire not only bullion but also coins as they could be a dying breed as we look into the future... Obviously, this is just my speculation. Thanks for your help. Andy
