what is your best silver bargain

[craig12]

just wondered what your best silver bargain was you bought , mine was simply  coins I purchased at £12 each inaround 2014 from an e bay seller whodidnt live too far away  all tested genuine, I could never really work out why he would do £12 per coin  , it went along the lines of  ill do you  4  coins for  £55 and id say ill go £48 and wed agree a deal  I bought some suriname coins and a 1986 maple  at this price , I really liked this stacker  who sold for less than the dealers , I also bought 5 carded brits for £80 in original packaging , the seller said don't sell em craig one day there'll be worth more than this one day ,  ohh I almost forgot   bagged a 5 oz pamp siver bar with certificate and protective case for £90   and I managed to get 4 mike Maloney rounds for £68 I think

I once bought a stack of 2 and 8 reales from a scrap dealer at 15% over scrap value. He would have just melted them. Suffice to say they went a long way to adding to my stack after I found new homes for the lot. 

I also bagged a 10 oz Shipwreck bar off the same guy. This is what it is https://www.londonmintoffice.org/silver-coins/wwii-silver/gairsoppa-silver-bar The value of these in auction is worth way more than I paid from them. 

Couple of weeks ago managed to grab 2 2016 Christmas Silver sixpence still in cards for £3 each. Those sell on eBay for over £35

A 2010 Lunar Tiger for £13.33 from an on-line coin trader who obviously hadn't a clue.

My best bargains have been numismatic finds. My best being an a near UNC 1902 Hong Kong 20 cents for Melt, sold for £100 If I remember

1827 Sovereign, cost me around 350 on eBay  graded at VF30 so plenty of profit in that 

1878s Shield sovereign MS61, bought for 330  and 8* nectar points  

L1 Monkey for 25 from my local jewellers (I think I gave it to my brother, not sure)

Those 2oz Niue Hawksbill Turtles from back in 2015 when spot price was £9.63 an oz, looking back through my spreadsheet they were by far my best buy @ £23.20 each and I only bought 6 of them, I should have bought as many tubes of them as I could as today a 1oz silver Niue Turtle sells for more than this on Ebay.

Turns out none of my silver was a best buy/ bargain as the price has dropped  significantly since I bought mine , so moved onto gold , had nore success with that

A 1905 Halfcrown, bought for €1250, sold for £2500, the 1860 Halfpenny i bought was a better bargain, but that's copper and not silver

I think copper coins/ brass coin do better than silver/ gold coins in terms of bargains most of the time

I cherrypicked a 1916 D Mercury dime at my LCS for $1.20, also bought an 1836 capped bust dime on the bay for $3.25 a while back
