US Silver Coins circulated, here in the USA, when I was a child, Blockman - @bitcoinman. We called it money, among other names. At six years old, I, and my school classmates, were well aware, of its value. One could buy candy, baseball cards, toys, and ice cream, with coin money. Silver Canadian dimes & quarters turned up, in USA change, too. Alloyed, 80%, 90%, and similar coins are much more durable, than pure, 999 Silver. The wear & tear, of circulated coins, IDs, their authenticity. I look at this Silver stuff, more as a storage, of value & wealth preservation. Or an entertaining insurance policy, that be passed on to friends and family. Much of your "Circulation Coinage", were physically touched by many, many different people, long ago. I love circulated coins, because one can touch & handle them without hurting their numismatic value. As for investment, I try to stay as close to spot price as possible. Some “experts” are saying physical Silver, at today's price, is the best investment out there. I think one is as good as the other, with its enjoyment, being the tiebreaker.
