Where do you buy Silver?

Idahobound

I have a bit that I have purchased over the years. Mostly from pawn shops and coin shops. I would like to add a little more where do you recommend a person to buy it online?

Now that the bottom has dropped out of silver I wanted to buy some. I checked flea-bay & others sources & they are still pricing it at the previous prices. On top of that I have to buy at least $1500 worth to avoid sales tax. This would seem to be a good time to buy, but where?

I have bought from apmex, and jmbullion.  Both are good.

Silvertown, in store, Apmex.

In that order.

I see most online dealers are out right now.

Was at a local coin store the other day.  Owner said he had a lot of buyers come in that had cashed in their IRAs and 401Ks and were buying silver.  Watched one man and wife selecting a number of bullion coins at about $30/@/oz.  He was hoping there might be some future collector value (speculating).

 While the spot price of silver dropped a lot (due to large bank sell offs?), to about $12.50/oz. I heard/read that the premiums over spot sky rocketed to as much 100% or more of the spot price itself.  

So be careful when buying.  If you're new to this my recommendation would be to buy from a large reputable company, look for good delivery time (a week?), low fees and shipping cost.   If you are just interested in the silver as a metal, I would recommend looking for plain silver ingots.

You will not be able to find any online.  The company I use just emailed and said the Canadian mint is closed down for a week.  That mint is the largest mint for silver.

Even tho spot is down, no-one is selling at anywhere close to spot, if even selling at all.

Yep and the on line guys I've used AMPEX, JM Bullion, Etc. are all charging a real wide spread on top of spot, used to order at less than a dollar over spot, often less than .50 cents over with free delivery now it is way over that if you can find any. I guess the price is only 12 bucks if you are selling not buying! LOL

 Black market prices. If you don't have it by now they will fleece you.

JM Bullion, but their stock is very limited right now.

APMEX is ok but I prefer JMBullion. I used to use PROVIDENT exclusively but they became totally unresponsive to emails so I quit ordering from them.

US mint.  Top dollar, but best value.

APMEX customer for about 15 years.  I just buy bars though.  I don't need any pretty coins.

If you're buying weight might I suggest sterling silver ware? They're .925 fine or better or junk 90% silver coins. Buy them by the pound. I think I'll wait until $10 and see if the local coin shops are open then take advantage.
