re: Looking for recommendations for sites to buy gold and silver from.

My intention isn't to have it as an investment, more of a hedge for sure against what I think is a worthless dollar.

I do hold a lot of lead!

But in all of my research, the value difference between gold and silver doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Based on the values, you would think that silver is way more abundant, to a ratio near 100:1; that simply isn't true. The ratio is more like 8.5:1 (~ Silver spot $185), Silver has WAY more real-world applications, second only to oil.
