In that situation, you get into a security problem. Certainly I would pay 90% of spot, but only in my bank lobby, then making sure the seller can...
Well, I've never bought or sold from Apmex, but that seems logical. You would never sell to them, the cost of shipping and insurance would eat up...
"is that about fair ya think?" From a business, for such a small transaction, it's OK but not great. In your state, do you have to pay sales tax...
The way things are today, there are ALWAYS a multitude of people desperate for money. If you're in a pawn shop, or an estate auction, at the...

The political intrigue and in-fighting over the design of the Buffalo Nickel makes for interesting reading. See the Wikipedia entry on the...
I suppose this will start a firestorm of controversy, but anyone who believes that PM pricing is honest, transparent, and not manipulated DAILY by...
The most prominent "BIE" is on the 1955-S Lincoln. It was a big deal for a year or two when I was a kid. If I can find one around here, I'll...
