<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2097767, member: 19065&quot;]Apart from buying when the market price is low and supply available, the &quot;cheapest way&quot; is to purchase in volume. By that I mean, buy a lot of coin bullion, rolls vs single coins, boxes vs rolls. For U.S. bullion (ASE), compare costs of these coins in &quot;monster boxes&quot; from those dealers who are <i>also</i> Mint authorized purchasers. Anything less than such volume of these boxes or from a dealer who is not an AP, will generally cost more and thus is not<i> the cheapest</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you compare prices of five ASE coins to that of a single ATB bullion coin, you will also see the price is cheaper buying ATB, so you could also compare costs of ATB monster boxes sold by APs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t suppose you have enough saved up nor want to work toward saving that amount in order to find the cheapest price but the idea is to avoid smaller amounts and completely avoid fractional bullion. If you want small quantities of silver, less than an ounce, buy junk silver. Never pay the premium for half ounce bullion coins or smaller such things marketed by bullion dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, rather than buying individual 1 oz. bars, go bigger! 10 oz, 100 oz, kilo bars. The time you spend saving up to buy larger quantities is worth the savings compared to buying little by little and loosing to additional fees over time. Just remember that larger quantities bought at better price per ounce, can also be harder to liquidate if you suddenly find the need to sell a large bar or vast quantity of coined bullion. Large quantities of silver also take up much more storage space than does gold or platinum, so keep this in mind as you add to your holdings.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is another good reference site for protecting yourself by reading ratings of dealers: <a href="http://www.bulliondealerdata.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bulliondealerdata.com/" rel="nofollow">BullionDealerData.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
