Silver is at 25.50 or so, right now. So I suggest your local coin store. You're looking for what's called culls or damaged coins. Those will be cheaper, but not by much, especially in a place you haven't been to before. There's plenty of reputable online dealers. Search for cull or damaged. You're probably going to have a tough time finding junk (90%) silver. Silver rounds are 99.9% or 99.99% pure and should be in the same (or cheaper) price range. Things like Morgans and Peace dollars are still going to have a larger premium. Even American Silver Eagles will (pure bullion.)

He also has a live YouTube auction every Monday night.

Very reasonable prices (below online bullion dealers.)

I quickly compared silver rounds of https://www.texmetals.com/products/silver-coins/texas-silver-rounds vs https://www.jmbullion.com/silver/silver-rounds/1-oz-silver-rounds/

$32.82 vs $30.54 = $2.28 per round. Which is an 8% up charge vs jmbullion.

Worth pointing out, this doesn't include purchase fees or shipping & handling or insurance, which can also heavily vary. I have no idea how those fall out on these. Regardless, there likely are better deals.

You cannot compare different rounds like that, first, second, shipping and insurance are included. The question was where OP could get dirty silver, I answered. The cheapest rounds I ever found were at BGASC they have a house brand round that is often 1/2 price normal up charge over spot. If you want just silver that does not have cool shit stamped into it, them or sunshine mint or something boring like that is probably going to be cheapest.

Rounds are not coins. In general, they are directly comparable as their only value is their weight and metal. It's coins which gets more complicated. While there are exceptions for rounds (collectibles exist in rounds), generally the only thing you should care about is how much you pay per round relative to the value of its metal.

check out some of your local coin dealers. Also, some online coin dealers that are reputable. Pick up a copy of Coin World magazine at your bookstore.
