So, unless I can get it for at/just above value on ebay, with reasonable shipping costs, don't sweat it and hold the money for larger oz purchases from Mints, ya?

So for the mathematically challenged a $1 silver dollar is how many ounces? And a half dollar would be half of whatever that weight, correct?

Arkarayne and I were speaking of actual bars or rounds like shown in above pictures that are not US currency, just pure silver in gram or ounce denominations.
So, that $1 coin on the scale that weighs 22.6 grams is made with 40% silver. It is currently worth $5.20.
The half dollar is 90% silver it weighs 11.3 grams and it is valued at $5.93.
I think I may make it sound complicated, mixing currency with bar stock. But its after my beer time!
Very interesting. Long ago my grandpa and I would collect coins and stuff and several months ago I dove into the coin collection for the first time in decades to show to my son and I didn't realize what all had been in the collection so I'm trying to sort it all out. There's 47 silver dollars with the newest one being a 1923 along with several gold coins and a few dozen nickels/dimes/quarters. All that to say, it sounds like it would be best to keep these separate and start picking up some bars...
Well, I'm looking to get into this world of precious metals, and I want to start small, litterally. ampex.com appears to be good for 1oz+ pieces and purchases, but,
A: are there places in Oregon to buy it locally, walk-in-walk-out,
B: Are there better places to buy small amounts online, grams, oz's, etc. (no or low minimums?)
C: is eBay even worth trying, without paying nearly 3-times-or-more the worth on grams and nearly 150% to double on ounces?
(seriously, i've seen $3-4 end bids for 55 cents in silver. some people are kinda...silly.)
Note: the cheapest i've been able to get a gram (a single bar) on ebay for (so far) is $1.45 (that was with shipping.)
Is there a silver dealer in the Puget Sound area that somebody would recommend?
I found one that seemed alright but I am into supporting those who are like minded.
