<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 1097967, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When you&#039;re buying bullion you can buy offical coins or rounds and/or bars (ingots).&nbsp; You want to consider the Premium (markup over the spot price of the metal) and fungibility (ease of buying and selling).&nbsp; The former is market driven while the latter has to do with something that&#039;s a &#039;name brand&#039;.&nbsp; For example, a 1 oz. silver round from the WTF Mint in BF Nowhere is going to be cheaper than a American Silver Eagle, but if you sell them, the latter is easier to sell at a higher price than the former.&nbsp; You may not even be able to sell the former - or if so, only for a discount.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, for bullion I stay with name brand stuff like Eagles and MapleLeafs or in rounds and ingots with Engelhard or Johnson-Matthey.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Buy a copy of either CoinWorld or Numismatic News and check the ads.&nbsp; Also, check <a href="http://www.apmex.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com" rel="nofollow">www.apmex.com</a>.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had good luck with Paul Sims.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s a listing of current premiums for my local dealer.&nbsp;&nbsp; They do NOT have the lowest prices and I&#039;m not pushing them.&nbsp; Just check the relative variations in premiums between products.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.libertycoinservice.com/images/stories/offersandquotes/daily_quotes.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.libertycoinservice.com/images/stories/offersandquotes/daily_quotes.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.libertycoinservice.com/images/stories/offersandquotes/daily_quotes.pdf</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
