i get my silver coins at a local coin shop. that way, i let the coin shop guy do the waiting when stuff is back ordered. i buy what he has on hand, and i have it in my hands, instantly. it has the other bonus that if i pay in cash, there is no record that i bought from him, except his security camera. but there is no record of what i bought, who i am, how much i bought. anon. this is the way.
