May I ask what form you buy it in?
(Just idle curiosity.)
Buying Silver or Gold and stuffing it into a safe or mattress at home is foolish, at the time being. For one, these companies that sell to the public charge huge service handling charges, and when you try to redeem the bullion or coins, they charge another “processing/handling fee”. The owner takes a big double digit loss in the shuffle. Not to mention the great risk of robbery or catastrophe
I have done extremely well using the method I described at the beginning.
