Any recommendations on companies to buy physical gold or silver from to keep in home safe?

APMEX

Scottsdale mint makes fantastic stuff and it’s well priced. Silvergoldbull and monument metals are where I buy generics

ETA Costco has been offering very well priced silver eagles and pamp gold bars, but they drop them randomly on their website so you’ve gotta scoop them up quick

JM bullion its pretty good

IMHO, you are way too late to that game. The only people making money in Silver right now are the guys selling who bought 4 years ago when it was at $12 per ounce.

Dont listen to the Silver Bugs. They’ve been claiming it’s going to $50 for years. We’re also not going back to either a gold or silver standard.

Premiums are way too high right now. Currently asking $28 plus shipping for an a one ounce ASE with an underlying actual value of $22 in silver. If you try to sell that same coin a broker will offer you at or below melt.

Stacking can be fun. The time to buy is when the economy is really cooking and nobody is considering metals. Political instability and recessions generally cause prices to rise and then opportunities to sell may be created.

Metals are heavily manipulated and absolutely should not be your primary investment. They don’t match or beat the stock market except in very small cherry picked windows that nobody can predict.

The other problem with silver is that after time you need a considerable amount of space. Gold takes up a lot less space, has lower premiums and less volatility.

Next question that I am curious about.


How do you sell it without getting ripped off?

Regardless of when/where it was bought. What is the best way?



Then, what percent do you keep (not sell) in case there is some event that makes you wish you had kept some physical gold?
