Use Apmex and have shipped to a PO box (which is what I do). You will pay about 10%-15% over market price, but that is pretty standard. Think of it as a "shipping and handling" fee.

I stick to assayed ingot and wafers as the markup is lower than most coins. Coins are generally collectable and I just want the metal, so no coins for me unless they are sold at discount. Look at the clearance or discounted items to save even more money.

Good advice!

If you buy American coins there is an additional layer against counterfeiting, the penalty is greater for counterfeiting, but a gold or silver bar that is plugged?
A civil matter.
