Anyone know the best way to buy it?
Bar?
Coin?
Jewelry?
Or just a company that will sell it to me. I want my monies worth.
If you don't want to post it here, e-mail or PM me.
Thanks

I don't know how I missed this thread!
I would recommend cash purchases of silver at either a local coin shop or pawn shop.
Figure to pay about $1 above spot, so today $30 for one troy ounce would be very reasonable.
Personally, I prefer .999 fine silver rounds over 90%, pre-1965 "junk" silver coinage.
Nickels are the easiest to inventory, as they require no sorting, and the metal value is about the same as a $1 coin.
In order to find the values for U.S. Coinage, such as pre-82 pennies (half the pennies produced in 1982 were zinc, and therefore all 1982 pennies require sorting with the "ring" test) and pre-65 silver, check out this web-site:
