Forgive me for being naïve, but I've never officially bought PMs before. I have some extra money this month and would like to buy a roll of ASE's. Can someone recommend a site? I live in the U.S. Thanks.
Try APMEX.......American Precious Metals Exchange http://www.apmex.com/category/22112/silver-eagles-mintdirect Chris
Sdbullion.com has silver eagles for $2.25 over spot in any quantity right now, I believe that is the best price out there.
All of the above are good suggestions, but before you buy, look carefully into shipping fees. They do figure into your total cost.
I buy from a couple of places: 1) APMEX Current price: $20.73 ea. Link above 2) Money Metals Exchange Current price: $20.41 ea. https://www.moneymetals.com/silver-american-eagle-one-ounce-coin/9
Yes, it is best to "shop around" and compare prices and any shipping fees. You can also score pretty good if you are careful on ebay and try to snipe a roll here or there. Watch the price of silver and if it goes down a good amount Friday often there are some bullion sales posted on ebay that include ASEs.
Look at the "for sale" area on this site. Many others include myself are always moving silver and other metals around. I usually keep all my ASEs but other tend to sell them on here.
