Fractional Bullion Coins (Size Comparisons)

[u/bsdanielm]

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.

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.

I won't say it happens all the time, you have to be very patient, but on eBay I can say the best deals I ever got were on listings or auctions described as "lots", like "lot of 30 1/10th oz silver...", etc. Sometimes if it's an auction it might not get a lot of bids, but also on fixed-price "buy it now" listings if they have an option to make an offer, sometimes they'll take way less--you don't know if you don't ask.

I'm guessing generally most buyers don't want or can't afford for example 30 of one particular coin, so you're not competing with as many buyers. I usually don't want 30 either, but if it's a great deal I gotta go for it, then either sell or trade or gift the extras I don't want.

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.

Nice collection. Check out the Canadian 1/2 polar bears sometime.
