Is it easier to get the actual physical silver ingots than to get actual gold ingots? If a person wanted to buy two pounds of 24kt gold, could they have that shipped to them or pick it up at a bank somewhere?

The problem with ingots is you may have to “prove” they contain what they say they do. If you get old coins, the content is a universal given. They’re just easier to use.

Sure, you can have it shipped directly to you.

i’d suggest going for coins instead of pamp bullion bars. would be easier to move later.

i would also recommend getting a monster box of silver, for when you want smaller exchanges.

as for where, banks are no use. find a reputable dealer in your area.

No problem having it shipped to you. I have done business with these guys:

Buy coins. Gold US Eagles or Canadian Maple leafs one oz. coins. Never "invest" in silver or gold -- buy and safely keep the coins in your possession and not in a "safe deposit box" either.

The first time you order you have to bank wire the funds. Subsequent orders, you can send a check. He ships quick and overnight shipping is free. Great guy to deal with — owner’s name is Hannes. I see that you can order 24/7.
