These goldbug companies are there to grab as much wealth from those least able to afford it as possible. The TX Board of Securities even admits they’re next-to-impossible to police because of the opaqueness of their industry and the lack of regulatory framework in the state for them.
They grab bullion from actual mints, recast and put their labels on ‘em, and charge well above market rates for the gold. You have to be a poorly informed person to “invest” in them.
Also, notice many of the ads attempt to trigger panic.
Honest question: can you give an example of how to do this?
I purchase from Money Metals Exchange. Reasonable premiums. Happy so far.

It’s very common for premium on the cheapest silver rounds at the best dealers to be about four to five dollars when spot is about $22-23. That’s 20-25%. Premium on actual minted coins is higher.
Give a link to the the dealers that are charging near-spot.
