Which US coin to go for?

[silvernewbie]

Hi

just looking for some advice, im looking at low premium coins to add to my stack and have no US ones.  There not much in it price wise so im looking at which coins are most in demand when coming to sell.  The 1804 Silver round coin is sightly cheaper than the eagle or walking liberty.  

Or should i just stick to brits or add some philharmonics? 

1 troy oz silver 1804 SILVER ROUND

If you went with a US mint coin, stick with a 1 oz ASE. But they do have a slightly higher premium, from what I have experienced here in the US, as compared with a random 1 oz Britannia.

Exactly this.  The American Silver Eagle is really your best bet.  The premium is a small price to pay for recognizability.

The 1804 silver round will not be taken as seriously as it's not government minted bullion.

I would also say that U.S. "90% junk silver" is a decent alternative option if you can't get ASE for whatever reason. This includes dimes, quarters, and half dollars pre-1965.  They can be obtained for a lower premium, but that will likely come back to bite you when you try to sell.

I like US "junk silver" as the member above suggested for low premium silver coins. You can pick them up usually at or under melt. I believe the premium on junk silver is at historical lows as this too fluctuates with demand. I also like the America The Beautiful 5 ozt coins. They seem to have a chance of collectible status down the road and can be purchased for around the same premium as Silver Eagles when they are released. I believe most stores will pay a bit more for Silver Eagles vs Britannia's, which I assume is a consideration.

Personally I like "junk silver" as well. Especially Mercury and Roosevelt Dimes. I am really hoping for a tariff free zone between US and UK - would place a big order at Apmex right away.

In the meantime, I keep stacking UK capital gains tax free silver. Who knows - maybe one day JP Morgan will lift all of their paper short contracts and silver might skyrocket. Don't intend to pay any taxes on my profit in that scenario. Sometimes I still pick up some US junk silver on Ebay when it is reasonably priced just for diversity and in the hopes to get some coins with a missing mint mark or double mint mark or other variety that I could send to NGC.

Will it be under £16 an oz?

eBay is a den of counterfeit bound to get worse. Even junk silver is being counterfeited.

As the price of pm’s increase, so too will the fakes. Buy from a trusted seller.

Don't forget to take into consideration how your getting out of silver someday. Taxes matter as do local source of buyers to buy your silver for a fair price. I say that not knowing the tax ramifications of a person in England selling Britannia's vs Silver Eagles vs just ounces/lbs of silver, down the road for you.

 

BTW- I think the Britannia are far more beautifully than US Eagles. And I live in the US. Also love the Britannia bars, not currency but sovern and that matters as it adds legitimacy to it.
