<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fools_gold, post: 765978, member: 20669&quot;]Welcome! I consider myself pretty new too. And I had your questions too when I first started out.</p><p><br /></p><p>First off I buy from APMEX all the time. I honestly believe they go out of their way to keep their customers happy. I have never had any lost or delayed shipping from them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Their customer service seems to be very friendly. I am one to quickly call out a company if their service does wrong to me or someone else and I haven&#039;t seen any issues with them so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for what to collect. I am not a coin collector, I don&#039;t have the energy to understand the numismatic side of things. I just want to collect for the pure value of the metal. </p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, I&#039;ve mainly collected bullion. You can&#039;t go wrong with that. You can also get bars, but get name brand only.</p><p><br /></p><p>You get a little more bang for your buck if you buy bulk, like 10 oz silver bars instead of ten 1 oz coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve bought a bunch of 10 oz silver bars but I&#039;m going to stop now and only collect ASE&#039;s as it&#039;s just easier and more recognizable. Also going to expand my horizon a bit and start looking at other silver coins like these new 2010 Chinese Panda coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>As long as you stay reputable with the coins you buy, you really can&#039;t go wrong. Stay away from unknown brands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it&#039;s APMEX, not AMPEX. I hear if you call them AMPEX, they delay your shipping by 6 months... (j/k)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
