So i'm looking to buy some silver for "just in case". This is my first foray into precious metals and would like to know where y'all buy silver and the such. Not looking for collector coins, just bars and bullion stuff.
How did you figure out your bar was fake?
APMEX ships USPS and typically package it well enough that a thief would need some alone time with your box to extract the contents. I've never had an issue.How do the online places ship? I would worry about it getting stolen. I've considered buying from APMEX.
Yeah, not looking for collection pieces.
I think that’s a big driver, but if you look at the relative value of silver to gold, that is how many ounces of silver would it take to buy an ounce of gold, it seems that silver is a better bet than gold.I understand investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals to hedge against inflation, but why particularly silver? Is it primarily because it’s more accessible than gold?
Yeah, I'd love more gold, but the outlay vs. ounces silver is a little easier to stomach.I understand investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals to hedge against inflation, but why particularly silver? Is it primarily because it’s more accessible than gold?

Well, I'd consider it being frugal. Some folk may consider it cheap, but i'm just trying to stretch my $. My old boss, who was Jewish, used to refer to me as "Hebrew", if that helps.
You need to factor in the premium to buy and the discount to sell. Certain brands incorporate tamper-proof design or packaging which brings a premium. The purity of coins produced by the US mint is considered highly reliable while generic rounds are less trusted. I happen to like 100oz bars and the premium is generally low, but they are more difficult to sell so the discount can be greater.And I’m assuming you guys just buy the cheapest option there is for your desired weight? Like I see 1oz silver bars ranging from $15.37 to $31.77 and I can’t imagine why you’d pay double for the same amount of silver.

What are silver "dollars" going for these days? I user to buy from 1 of those American Rifleman advertisers every year when the new ones came out. Sold them all for a tidy sum when it hit $50 a oz.
Hopefully i've met my quota with the downstairs toilet leak, the root in the septic and this. I hope!I got some more bad news for you...stuff breaks in 3's
Not everyone on this site is from NC
And the point about the sales being tracked online to the USGOV stealing gold from citizens still stands. They took all the gold (some folks like dentists/medical use and coin collectors were exempt) at the threat of imprisonment then basically doubled the value once it was out of private hands by the Gold Reserve Act. I want nothing to do with online and credit sales of gold and silver
I agree to a point. First they would have to find it. And how many confiscations by the Feds would go terribly wrong these days? How many agents would Fed Gov be willing to bury before they stopped that program? Although if the bad guys want to kick off some festivities stealing peoples’ metals would be a good start. My guess is they’ll continue to use modern tactics and just manipulate the markets to achieve their goals.
way way more volatile than gold. when gold spikes, silver quadruple spikes.I understand investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals to hedge against inflation, but why particularly silver? Is it primarily because it’s more accessible than gold?
