mac, If you're looking for silver as an investment, stick to 10 and 100 ounce bars. You can pick them up for spot price at any coin show, you'll pay about 5% over spot if you buy on ebay or online. Silver strikes or casino tokens are a bad "silver play" at this point in time except for some of the $7 strikes that sometimes are offered at spot, but I would rather have a "clean" major refiner bar for silver investment. Just my 2 cents from someone who is very high on gold and silver values going into the next 15 years.
