I have purchased from APMEX with a credit card. This is the only online dealer that I do business with. Very professional. They have a toll free number to call them if your un-easy about anything.
There were two APMEX employees in my Counterfeit Detection course. One of the guys was in my Advanced Grading course last year. He said APMEX sent 8 employees to Summer Seminar this year.
APMEX has been selected to distribute the huge ATB bullion ingots, I read. I wonder if that is why they bailed on other stuff. The ATB bullion is unprecented. Hope I can afford it. Also, Prudential investments will be involved, so that is a good, veteran business with financial community connections.
