Here are a few well known dealers: 1. JM Bullion / free ship on orders $199 And up under $7.99 2. Apmex / free ship on orders $199 And up under $7.99 3. SD Bullion / free ship on orders $199 And up under $9.95 4. Bullion Exchange / free ship on orders $99 and up under $8.00 5. eBay ( free shipping on any size order) coast to coast delivery 3-4 days plus ebay protections. Many people don’t realize that many of the above dealers do sell on eBay and always offer free shipping regardless of the size of the order,also if you buy direct from the dealer your order is not processed in a quick fashion causing excessive wait time for you to finally get what your ordered sure eBay doesn’t have allot of the products they offer in there online stores they do offer many, so it’s always a good idea to check the bay first before ordering direct.
I like JM Bullion myself, they don't advertise this but every time I've ordered through them I've received my order in less than 72 hours... pretty sweet!
Maybe they have improved there performance since pre pandemic levels, I bought some ASE,s from them a few months back and it took 10 days for me to get them. was a 10 day delivery
I look at ebay for specific coins now and again, but I never bid on a coin. It is too easy to get into a bidding war or frenzy as they call it. I have seen bids reach upward of 4 times the value of the coins. I'm might pay a little more for a specific coin on "Buy it now". There have been times that the only available coin that I have been interested in, but I give it a "pass" and wait for another coin to be available. I have gotten some beautiful coins in "Buy It Now" mode, for less than bids of the same coin. (Well, not the exact same coin, but another coin that looked just as good. When I got it, it was exactly what I wanted.)
Best place is some individual who is looking to sell quickly at pawn shop/G&S store prices (ie 25% less then spot per ounce) Next would be someone who wants to sell reasonably to fund another venture. (ie $1 over spot for cool, vintage NON generic items) Both are getting harder and harder to find.
Hmm, $3 for a clad IKE dollar that I can still get at face value at the bank. How many 100 lots for $2ea you want with free shipping? I won't even search them, so you might find a gem or silver.
I think APMEX sells bags of 100 for 200 dollars. Do you want to see me a bunch for even money? silver.com I think is really owned by one of the big companies
Couple reasons. Slot machine seed money, if you have a home $1 machine. I spend some IKE's now and again when I buy something on our local coin club auction. $2 bills are another thing. I know a local car lot owner who gives you change in $2 bills. He used to go to Laughlin and play $2 table blackjack back when live money played. He did that for a solid month....he was sure they knew who he was when he played...lol.
I have been buying gold and silver from Monument Metals for over 3 years. Go to their website and click on "Deals". The deals change regularly - so check it often. You can also set up alerts for when something is back in stock.
