[QUOTE="DWSchmidt, post: 3198549, member: 98236"]Don't give up on your LCS's (Local Coin Shops) for your bullion needs. I am lucky and have three LCS's within a 15 mile radius that have excellent prices with very reasonable premiums on silver. I recently purchased a 5oz ATB silver quarter, Mount Rushmore, SD, for $90 when APMEX was pricing their random date bullion ATB's for $101. Pays for the gas money and then some. One shop I frequent has a box of 1 oz bullion coin culls that go for spot + $1.50. There often are ASE's, Maple Leafs, Libertads, Britannias, Philharmonics, various Perth mint coins, and others.
