weighing $10,000 worth of silver would depend on the spot value.

Silver’s weight to value is higher than gold. Thats the point he was getting at, I think.

I like Silver and Gold and other metals because the demand, i believe, will always exist. Through-out time..(bible days through today) when has gold or silver been worthless?

so i let that thought be the guideing principle in which I purchase Silver..

I have my share of the silver stake but am always looking for a good time to lock into more silver.

Coins are something you can look at every now and than and appricate the meaning behind the obverse and reverse.

A lot of people I know believe silver coins to be traded at the spot value, but there is numismatic value in physical coins and that makes it an intresting investment.

$10,000 of silver weighs only 47 pounds.

SLV is not what you think it is. Read the prospectus carefully. They invest in the futures market and there is no independent audit of the bullion reserve. It’s a little risky with naked shorts believing they have all that silver they claim.

“$10,000 worth of silver weighs almost 600 lb. and takes up a lot of space in the old gun safe! $10,000 of gold is about one pound”

Not true at all. $10,000 worth of silver weighs about 30 lbs, and of gold about 2/3 lb.
