Walk into a coin show with a pocket full of hundreds and you will get the best deals. One, it proves you are serious, two there are certain, ahem, tax reasons some people like cash over tracable instruments. Not commenting further on point two.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was buying silver more, I would always walk into my favorite shop with cash. As such, I was sold silver for about 3.4 times face, when other customers were quoted 3.6, since the dealer told me he had transaction costs and/or bad check risk with other people, but cash is cash. After a couple of years he would sell to me with a check at the same price, but absent a long relationship, cash IS the guarantee and lowest cost transaction for dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
