O/P, you might do better to just buy some BTC for cash, via localbitcoins (although my luck w. them is "just barely OK" -- hard to get trades done in my city) or other methods.

As others above have suggested, try to land a Signature Campaign account, that will pay better than faucets. I am very happy with bitmixer.io, but it is a little hard to get into that one. Keep looking!

I too have bought PMs from Provident, highly recommended! You might look into 1/10th oz Gold Eagles, they would cost you perhaps $140 or so at perhaps a lower premium to metal value than silver.

I got used to getting bitcoin from the faucets but I will look into the Signature Campaign account once I post enough here to reach a "higher status" but I mainly spend more time posting on a couple of gold and silver forums and a silver art bar forum. I wll learn more about localbitcoins at a later date but I want to concentrate on the bitcoin faucets for the time being despite them being lower payouts. This is just "play money" to buy physical silver with.

I usually collect old silver art bars from the 1970's and America The Beautiful 5-oz silver "pucks" and buy those from the local dealers and coin shows for bullion premiums. The regular newer collectible silver (such as Chinese Panda, Zombucks, etc) I plan to buy from Provident Metals with the free bitcoin "play money" that I get from the internet faucets since it is rare that I buy silver outside of '70's silver art bars and ATB 5-oz silver pucks that I normally collect.
