Where to purchase gold and silver coins?
I’ve been trading silver through Apmex for several years. They give the current quote and mark it up a little. And they deliver right to your front door. http://apmex.com/ I gave away 5 oz bars/coins of silver at Christmas two years ago to family members, and last Christmas they were almost double the price. The gift that keeps on giving. Oh, another good site: http://www.kitco.com/ You instinctively already know that holding a paper ETF is not the same as holding physical gold. Until the Flash Crash a couple of weeks ago, nobody realized that ETF’s could freeze up and lock you out of trading or redeeming the underlying. If one of the reasons you’re buying gold is to protect against a crash in the system, then that very reason may be why you’re left holding the bag (paper ETF instead of physical gold) in the event of a crash.
