looking to buy gold

In ATL I have an old school precious metals and numismatics dealer that has been in business for 30+ years. Don’t know how to tell you to find something similar in your locale.

Do what I did: Look for a reputable coin dealer in your area and sit down to have a talk with them. I’m going to go back to the guy I spoke with this week, and bring my husband along.

I sought mine online, and you can read reviews if they have a good reputation. You can always call ahead, too.

On Line SD Bullion. Pretty much every On line company is relatively the same price. SD Bullion has the best Customer Service.

Stay away from Scottsdale Mint. I had horrible experience with a 6 week delay on my order.

Went through that years ago. Not too hard to buy it. Somewhat difficult to sell it...and risky. Too much value in a small item. Robbery/murder for it are risks, especially these days. Buy stock in companies mining gold (GOLD, AUY, NEM, KSC, etc.) or a streamer like Wheaton (WPM). Interestingly, with exploding inflation, the powers that be have manipulated some gold stocks down a bit...but they can not keep their finger in the dike much longer.

pssst! On a percentage basis, my supply of LEAD has increased in value more than gold over the past ten years.

Diversity is key for finances but do not overlook Bitcoin as a store of value and portable apex asset.

I suggest prioritizing bodily needs first. Durable clothing and enough food storage for five years.

Here is the site I use to find the best prices--remember to factor in shipping cost if any. https://findbullionprices.com/closest-to-spot/?category=gold&

I use JM Bullion mostly. I've also had great experiences with Kitco, but lately JM has had better prices and ship rates.

Exactly my thought, and the lead will help keep the gold.

I have bought American Eagles from bgasc metals in the past with no problems. This was for investment purposes not prepping purposes. I am currently investing in brass, lead and copper.

Not local but Silver Towne in Winchester Indiana is GTG.

First, a warning! Look on Youtube for guides on spotting fakes [link here]. It used to be that buying gold bars or gold chain was the 'inexpensive' way to go but now that is the scammer's best bet! I buy gold coins and you can find reputable dealers almost everywhere. Look for being in business for YEARS and a brick&mortar location. Know current spot prices and know you will pay a premium over that.

Good Luck!

Saving for reference.

Wish I could - only have a few months of that

Just buy K-rands at a well-established coin collecting store. Most likely they’ll have to order them, so they’ll be holding your money for several weeks, but if they’ve been in business for 20 years, you’ll be fine.

Look for silver.

Try thrift shops.

Other than that, try brass and lead.

I can recommend Apmex. Reliable and honest.

Be prepared to pay a premium over the spot price. For silver, it is about $10 + per coin last time I looked. Not sure what it is for gold.
