Anyone have any experience purchasing any of these online? A recommended website or a place in Baton Rouge? I found usgoldbureau.com and was thinking about purchasing some items off of there. I want to purchase a bar of each type...obviously a smaller one since I am not OT rich.

ETA: Sorry if already discussed

Back in 2009 during the commodities slump I came close to buying some little mini-bars at Louisiana Gold & Coins on S. Sherwood Forest, but I never did.

This topic comes up on this board from time to time, but other people besides me would know best how to get the best deal. Some related threads include:

Silver today is 28.12 per oz; thus a morgan silver dollar is $21.75. I would have guessed you could go to Ebay, but the cheapest junk silver dollar is $25 or so.

I used to purchase gold and silver online at gainesvillecoins.com. I have found a site with better prices at Liberty Coin & Precious Metals
Liberty Coin & Precious Metals

Here are some good sites to compare your gold and silver prices:

Compare Silver Prices

Compare Gold Prices

I purchase the following silver coins and bars: American Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leaf Silver, Austrian Philharmonics Silver, pre-1965 "junk" silver coins and 10oz. silver bars (brand doesn't matter as long as it has the .999 Fine Silver stamped on it).

The only gold coins I purchase are American Gold Eagles 1oz., American Gold Buffalo 1oz. and Austrian Philharmonic Gold 1oz.

Why do I buy these coins? Because they are exempt from being reported when selling back to a dealer. Gold and silver exempt from 1099-b filing
Private sales don't require any reporting.

Liberty has a good deal on the $1000 face junk silver @ $21,925.49. Free shipping. Thanks for the website.

I can see the Dow take a 10% hit, and silver get back toward $34 per oz.
