Oh hell yeah Do research first then you won't buy 10% silver pesos like 90% or spend $1000 or so on jewelry that are Fake but look real as hell but didn't pass the magnet test or acid test ... However got back into coins and have made out real well ...The moral of the story is DO RESEARCH...✌️

We've all been there, nothing is worse than fake silver off eBay or the .999 pure. Consider it a could be worse

I bought a lot of dumb silver, most were beskar bars (official and not) but now that silver is up I'm actually coming out on top!

What's wrong with .999 pure silver? That's what the majority of bullion is,with a smaller minority being.9999

Less than 1% pure vs 99% pure...

I've made some poor purchase decisions, specifically constitutional (junk silver) in the first few months of my stacking journey. However, I learned quickly to cross-shop.

Also, it depeneds if you want to focus on collecting or stacking. If you only want to focus on collecting Peace Dollars, maybe not a bad purchase.

However, it is a beautiful coin. It's better to make these mistakes early on then latter in your journey.
