But then who does he sell to. He is not paying a 1.50-2.00 less and then keeping them

They turn and burn So to who does he sell and make that money

The coin shop is mostly sold out of bullion. There are always buyers in there cleaning them out. He may buy only a couple days of supply, he's not sitting on stuff he bought long ago. He doesn't care the spot price, he's just scalping the spread.

It is a gamble and a long gamble if you are smart enough to always buy at 5-10 dollars

I don't know if you have been paying attention, but Silver hasn't even come close to this range in well over 10 years.

Also, the SLV paper market pricing of Silver is losing credence by the day. Pay attention to auction sites like eBay like I do and you will know actual market prices. Talking about buying at $5 in this day and age is a JOKE

The point was the gamble and I was with you until you used ebay as the auction site that you refer to get your prices

But I did find something and I have no clue if this is a viable company or not for those wanting silver eagles

I say that's a not a viable site since those Eagles would be over half off at that price.

If you're buying eagles below 32 from anywhere these days - you're buying fakes.

There are legit places, like Littleton, that you can get a cheap eagle but it's only one and you get sucked into a subscription. You can cancel, but it's a pita to get a discount on just one eagle.

Spot price is made up. There's no silver to be bought at $26 more like $31.50 for generics.

There's always been a premium on minted silver, but it used to be like a dollar, now it's $6. That's just an inefficiency between actual price and 'spot'.

Added some England silver and a small amount of Canada gold. The premiums on gold coins have gotten nuts.

Nice! Care you share who you purchased through? I usually shop BullionExchanges or SD Bullion.

Why gold over silver with the premiums being what they are? I'm not being critical but am genuinely curious.

Heraeus and RCM. Also have a fair amount of SMI's just because of how cheap they are, and easily verified with a $15 decoder.

I'm new to buying physical PMs. Thinking about buying some american silver eagles to start out with. Silver gold bull has them for $35/each. Any other suggestions?

I'd probably buy the Maple Leafs they have on sale today instead. They are ~$31.8x per coin.

When buying online, do y'all link your bank account to get the discount? Or pay with credit?

The main benefit of ASE's are the tax implications correct? If I sell, I don't pay capital gains taxes?
Lol I'm sure I'll sell this investment as well as I do my ammo investments, aka never.

If you are paying taxes for buying or selling precious metals, you are doing it wrong.
