I know this has been posted before in other parts of the forums but it never seems that a clear list emerges of reputable dealers. In accordance with this forum's namesake, I am only concerned with dealers who are reputable and have bullion products as part of their online catalog. So, I'll get this party started with the few sites I know and have experienced: http://catalog.usmint.gov http://www.apmex.com http://www.mintproducts.com http://www.blanchardonline.com As this thread unfolds, I will update this list. If a site ever winds up on the list yet there is consensus that they are of ill-repute, then sites will also be removed. Thanks in advance to those who help build the list. Cheers, Argento
Thanks for this information. That Blanchard outfit is a few dollars cheaper than Mint Products on the silver eagle 2009 rolls. That is just what I compared to get an idea. I am prone to buying 2009 silver eagles at the moment. I am waiting on my bank account to get some relief before buying anything else at the moment. Golden Eagle Coins appears to be a legitimate place of business but their prices may be a tad bit higher. Thanks again and Happy Easter.
A View from Across the Atlantic Hi Argento, Are you interested in non-US dealers as well? For me, bullion means gold (silver attracts sales tax in the UK), either one-ounce coins or bullion-grade sovereigns, and I have had no problems with the following: Michael Kosares in Denver, Colorado: http://www.usagold.com/ Joseph Iorio in Vancouver, Canada: https://www.jandm.com/systemhome.htm Lawrence Chard in Blackpool, in the North of England: http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/ Clive King in Wallington, in the South of England: http://www.allgoldcoins.co.uk/ I have had no problems with the honesty, efficiency or friendliness of the US Mint, but its online system can be somewhat inflexible for an alien. Some parts of it are as international as anyone might wish: others grind to a halt over a UK postcode that isn't made up of 5 digits. Mind you, that is nothing compared with PayPal. It insisted on a telephone number, but I could find no way of making it accept a UK number. In the end I gave it a disconnected landline number in Pennsylvania (which belonged to my late aunt) and it was happy. :headbang: Later, John
