<p>[QUOTE="jacksbike, post: 4594239, member: 113395"]Boy, I got what I asked for ! I could put this $ amount aside for a silver purchase without it affecting my (newly) retirement needs. What I find confusing is that with interest rates at close to zero and bonds very low, that precious metal prices would move heavily upward. Have not really seen this at all. Gold to me is a certain investment. I obviously understand that it is my call. I am not sure I totally understand the 'spot plus' cost. I could buy a 20 pack of silver US eagles from APMEX for about $2500. If I bought the same amount from a coin dealer, would it cost me the $21 to $23 dollar per coin Plus a spot price (profit margin for the dealer) mark up ? Should I go with gold, is it best to buy US mint coins or the ST. Gaudens, or something else ? I know, lots of choices and hard decisions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
