I have been buying silver and gold from www.apmex.com.

They seem to have some of the smallest cost over spot. They are super fast in processing and shipping your order. Very nice folks on the phone. I have been buying from them for years. No minimum orders like losts of other sites.

Weis excellent job on the info and grading!

I buy AE gold coins 1/4 and 1/10 only, AE silver dollars, some silver Maples. I also buy quite a few generic silver rounds. APMEX only deals in known names (Englehard, Matthey, Suise, Silvertowne, Sunshine Mining, etc) So the content is quite reliable. Usual order is one 1/4, one 1/10 and 10 silver rounds.

Years ago I quit contributing to the 401k and and now shovel about $250 a month into Silver and Gold.
