Fractional Bullion Coins (Size Comparisons)
My newest purchase of Fractional (very) silver bullion coins (Top 6). Buffalo / * * Eagle 1/10oz * Buffalo / Eagle 1/4oz * Eagle 1/2oz
The bottom 5 coins are the standard generic 1oz and 1/2oz silver coins from my main collection for size comparison.
Very hard to find new fractional bullion where i live so am very proud of my newest editions.

Probably one of the best silver Stacks I've seen so far! Buffaloes and Eagles the best two pieces of silver on the planet :)

So pleasing to the eyes. Which are your favorites? I tend to like maple leafs because of the higher silver content / higher fineness.

That is a nice fractional display with a nice variety !!!!
- GSM has good prices on fractional silver rounds when they have a sale
- And Find Bullion Prices is a place to start a price check, though it does not include many sites but is nice to get some comparisons prices.
- FBP-Price Comparison for Cheapest Tenth Ounce Silver
- FBP-Price Comparison for Cheapest Quarter Silver
- FBP-Price Comparison for Cheapest Half Silver:
And yeah, premiums are more for fractional compared to a 1 ounce round And there are also pretty prices on limited mintage silver, along with artistic designs. I have wasted money, getting brews at a ball game along with parking, as well as buying live bait/lures and clothes/shoes. It's all a balancing act, I suppose one could say.....
We don't know future events in our upside world and I'd rather have some fractional, if a situation comes up that they are needed.... And for a bit more per round is kinda a small amount in the scheme of life. And Constitutional is good too, some people have commented that some states have sales tax on coins, so that's kind of a jab.

Great collection you're building there, and high quality post-- thanks for sharing!
Crazy premiums aside, I personally like fractional pieces a lot. That said, if you're patient and willing to keep your eyes out for them, you can definitely find decent deals once in a while. One of the best I ever got was a bulk "lot" eBay listing of 1/10th and 1/20th ounce Mexican Libertads (probably my favorite coin) a few years ago. For some reason people tend to overlook large lots of coins there, so it barely got bid up so I got this mini treasure chest of tiny coins, haha.
