- RANKING The BEST Online Silver and Gold Dealers BEST to WORST is a video where I review several key online precious metals dealers and rank them based on a range of criteria. While this ranking is just my opinion, I base this off of 15 years stacking experience and 4 years of experience buying and selling silver and gold products as a dealer. While many may disagree with some of my choices in this video, these picks are subject to change as the precious metals market is dynamic and constantly shifting.

I don’t like apmex due to their greedy prices.
Sometimes they have what others do not ..pretty much the only time I buy from them
Same!
I think that Apmex has hands down the best selection. Over the last 2-3 years their prices are getting out of hand. I think that they are such a large operation and that the extra cost is unavoidable, probably overhead. Never had a problem with customer service from them. They actually cut the price of an item that was slightly blemished. I have been buying more from Bullion Exchanges lately because of their better prices, and yes they take a long time to ship relatively, but as long as you can lock in a good price it's worth the wait. Don't have a lot to say about Gov Mint except their prices suck. Used to buy quite a bit from Provident Metals, but their prices were less competitive after they were bought out, also when I tried to sell rounds and bars with their moniker to another dealer I got dinged a dollar under spot because they supposedly got dropped from the COMEX. I have to say your appraisal of these companies are fairly consistent with what I experienced. Thanks for your assessment.
Do you buy their any quantity sales only like I do? You get a good deal if you do that! Otherwise their prices are on the high side. So you left out some details.
I just picked up 10 1oz bars for 29 each and free shipping. Just buy the sale.
In my experience, Monument Metals has the best prices by far. I've ordered from them at least 12 times. No issues...ever. everything packaged well. I dont have experience with customer service as I havnt had to use it.
They are good, but the post office they have to go through is Baltimore. Good luck on that going west a few thousand miles away.
I buy my gold coins through them. They have the best prices and the stuff is stocked, unlike SD & JM who never have anything and if they do their premiums are up there!
SD Bullion is the only one of these I’ve used, and have nothing but positives to say about them.
They charge considerably more than Monument Metals!
@@michaelphillips3123 Actually, that blanket statement isn’t true. See my reply to semperfi below.
I would have put SD Bullion and Monument Metals in the money category. Monument metals always have decent prices, super fast shipping, and their customer service has been incredible for me. SD, while not usually the cheapest, does have a price match policy that I have used twice with a customer service representative over the phone, and the process was amazing. Their price match policy is highly underrated, but it does require you to call in and speak to someone.
Hero Bullion is definitely in the money category for me as well as Monument Metals
Hero bullion so underrated. I have been exclusively buying from them the last few months and shipping and price have been better than everyone else. Hands down my favorite.
Glad to hear. I've never bought from them, I'll put in a small order soon with them.
I've only used monument metals. I stack for weight and I haven't found anyone cheaper.
I'd put Monument in the "Money" category. I found myself buying with them the most lately.
@requiett ditto that. Best deals lately if you keep an eye on them and catch sales/specials. I just got my latest order in, 1 gold buffalo, 10 1 oz silver rounds, and 1 overpriced silver round, but I liked the look of it. 🤣
me too in the last year-just bought their philharmonics-going sovereign-good deal
Herobullion and Monumental Metals shipping has been amazing the last few weeks for me. I waited 2+ weeks for a SDBullion order while Hero was shipping out the next business day. Also HeroBullion usually has some decent prices.
On my last order from SD the shipment was diverted from Federal Express to FEDEX Ground which added four days shipping time. The strange part was the truck delivering the package to Federal Express drove by my house. Then the truck going to FEDEX Ground drove by my house. SD was sent a message saying even through they were paying for express service they were getting ground delivery.
I also think Hero Bullion has the best price. Shipping was good but not a great selection. I noticed some companies are better on others based on the type of silver not the best across the board than the others. I have ordered many times from SD Bullion and was very satisfied but their prices aren't as great compared to the others lately
I ordered from hero last Thursday and received my order Saturday
.
My order literally shipped 2 hrs after I placed it .. Monument metals has been great as well
My orders from SDBullion were shipped very quickly 🤷
I agree on SD Bullion, it took them 3 weeks to ship my last order and I paid for a 2-day quick ship.
3 places I never shop.
1. APMEX
2. Money Metals Exchange
3. Bullion Max
Honorable mention: SD Bullion is one I rarely shop at, unless they have spot deals, which is only about 3 or 4 times a year. The reason is their spot prices are always well over the Kitco price, so your never actually getting anything at spot even when they have the deals, but they have some decent sales regardless of their higher chart prices.
Apmex is nice. SOme nice pieces!
So what's your beef with MM? They don't ship the next day but almost always arrives within a week.
@leefury7 high prices. Shipping is great, but you pay for it, even if it says it's free. Their premiums are just terrible on most everything. Occasionally, they have a decent deal, and I might pick something up when they send me a $10 coupon, but I never look there when I'm looking to buy any quantity.
@@lukef5370 Well shipping 32 pounds of product can't be cheap so ya, I get that shipping is figured into the cost. That's just the price of business. But if the only thing you have against them is price then to list them as a place to "never shop" is a bit harsh. And their prices are all that much different than anyone else. I like the fact that they test each and every thing they ship out. I don't have to worry about ever getting anything fake. Often I don't even open the shipping box. I just store it as it was shipped.
Hero Bullion rocks! Great pricing, excellent packaging of orders so things are not clanging around in a box and super quick shipping.
Honorary mention: money Metals exchange customer service is great. You also get a personalized thank you letter with each purchase, which is nice for building a rapport with a company.
GovMint belongs in the danger zone with MCM, theyre sister companies. They have a JM/Provident relationship.
Hero is my go to right now, usually have decent sales
I have had good results with JM bullion in the past. My most recent purchases were with Hero bullion and they were outstanding. Good prices and super fast shipping.
Monument metals has been my go to for a while. They may not have the rarities, but their pricing is usually always better than other sites and spot price is almost always 0.10$ cheaper.
With respect to the price criterion, Liberty Coin is hard to beat...especially by ACH, which is super easy but as you know takes more time. I was actually hesitant to post this because I love their prices and don't want things to change. However, they're pretty high volume, so whatever!
My number one. Going 500 miles away makes them fast for me.
Bold and Monument are my go-to.
I've bought from MCM several times. When I made the purchases, it was because they had the best price. Besides that, everything was shipped quickly and securely. I'm not excusing their social media team, but my purchases went well.
Reach EMILIA E ARIAS for assistance just search the name online. They are, an approved dealer ✅
Fast delivery 🚚
I just got into stacking and ordered my first silver last week, haven’t received it yet but a couple of my items were pre-order expected to ship next week. I did a bit of research before I ordered and I feel good that I picked monument metals, they were the cheapest on that day for what I wanted. My next order I’m going to take advantage of SD bullions 5oz for at spot price on silver.
Seem like fair rating's to me. I used to buy exclusively from Provident before I learned of Bold from your Channel. Never an issue with either, Bold is noticeably cheaper than all the other's IMO.
I would move Apmex and SD Bullion down to meh because of their prices are too high. I have bought most of my metals from Monument and Bullion Exchanges. I have also found some decent deals on Hero Bullion. Pimbex has had some really good deals but they are somewhat limited on their selection. They currently have Silver Krugerrands at a cheaper price than most sites have for rounds.
Detroit post office for SD Bullion. Can be tough.
Only thing Hero Needs is more supply and HERO would be Money!!!
SD sent me a sale price on Philharmonics and they were $0.01 cheaper than Hero everyday price! And Hero will get them out and to me in 3 days not the week and half almost 2 weeks SD did! Hero’s only drawback is selection!!!! I am a huge fan of them!
Out of all those, I think Bullion Exchange should be in the Money category, but I know their selection lacks sometimes. I think your list is almost spot on, but APMEX for me would be in the Meh category.
Before the spot and premiums went back up Bullion Exchanges had some really good deals on gold eagles and buffaloes, but then they ran out of them and now the premiums are way up. I took advantage of buying 1/4 oz eagles and I have recovered most of the premiums I paid for them.
Pinehurst coins Has exceeded every expectation even during times of high demand they ship my order out immediately and it arrives within 4 days.Their prices are extremely competitive. They are a taptier dealer in my book.
My main dealer was always Provident....but for the last 3 years I have been buying all my Junk silver on eBay and from my LCS. About the only silver I buy now is Junk Silver....bought lots of it when silver was $15 per ounce years ago....at melt...now the stuff is expensive!
Another downside to US Mint is the average consumer can't buy certain things from their site. Example Silver Eagle tubes. You have to be an approved purchaser. This is one of the reasons the premium is driven up so high on Eagles.
I wouldn't buy from SD Bullion when the market isn't open. Over the weekend, their "spot price" was $10 over Friday's closing price. That's not including their premium.
SD Bullion used to be a great place to buy until 2 years ago and that run ended with me. No good to sell to either.
As some one living in Florida I can't rationalize using any company near the west coast due to 7-10 day delivery times.
Nearly 100% of my past several month's stacking (over $50k) has been at Bold. Their prices on what I have been buying (Gold Buffalo, Silver Rounds) have been the best. Service comparable to all the others I have used (SD, Monument, Hero, BGASC, Bullion Exchanges).
If you contact me, I'm willing to bet I would be able to beat Bold's prices : )
I'd get from them, the Austin post office has lousy or no tracking. Your first two days are a mystery, even with priority mail. Bold offers priority mail for only 5 dollars.
I agree with you on Bullion Exchanges, Monument Metals, Silver Gold Bull and SD Bullion...these are all great companies to do business with...Bullion Exchanges #1...Silver Gold Bull #2...SD Bullion #3...Monument Metals #4...but I also like Liberty Coin which would be my #5 pick...I've had two orders through MCM...great prices...but everything seems to be pre-order and there's a wait for sure...but once it ships...it's there pronto...but I would have to place them in the MEH column...I hope this helps...smiles
Monument Metals, Bold, have been my go to recently. I will however shop the lowest prices in general based on the big dealers. Apmex never for price but they do have somethings that others don't.
When apmex runs out of something you might as well forget about getting it anymore even when you try getting a message saying back in stock as soon as you go to their website it's already gone
Great video sir, thank you very much for this insightful comparison!
At one time JM was my go-to source but now Monument is in first place with SD bringing up second place . Monument has a great selection and their prices blow away most of the so called "lowest/best price" sellers !
Where's Money Metals? I've almost exclusively bought from them. Absolutely no complaints. Not always the cheapest but love their product and their monster boxes are second to none.
Hero was Provident. They are very good. Silver Gold Bull is very good. Some regional post offices suck so I don't order from a couple of good companies who go through those post offices.
I buy gold from Liberty coin and silver from bullionexchange. Blanchard also has very good prices.
Do not transact with SD Bullion. If anything happens and you cancel your purchase, they will charge a fee and threaten to send your account to collections. In my opinion, any American has the right to cancel any purchase for whatever reason.
Paper check from the 1800s? Yep I’m old but it’s absolutely the best way, so what if you have to wait a little longer. It is the most secure.
In my experience the best you have listed are Monument, Silver Gold Bull, and SD.
If you seriously use Find Bullion Prices you will see that the cheapest price rotates amongst them at any given time.
I have been stacking and collecting about three decades longer than you have and have seen several dealers and mints come and go.
Seems that everyone on the internet is a professional these days, but I have always taken the word “professional” with a grain of salt.
i like BOLD Precious Metals, also direct from first majestic silver bullion store, also Gainesville coins. imho
Two times I have had purchases where required signatures were not followed per the contract. Basically they just put them on the front porch. One being a monster box. Then badly forged my signature? Anyone else seen this?
Cheers to all physical metalheads!
I just recently had the same experience with a shipment from JM Bullion.....I was supposed to sign for it but not only did I not sign, the delivery dude dropped it off at a pick up spot (fortunately not too far) and didn't even leave a "sorry we missed you" note or anything.....I was notified via email of these shenanigans and, going forward, I'll be using the standard USPS shipping
@@emiajjnoir8156 one of the 2 was USPS and no one signed for the delivery. To make matters worse they had a name I never heard of as the signature. I followed the tracking meticulously and it arrived 5 hours ealier than the tracking information provided. Buying more lately from my LCS.
CHEERS
Best and worst can be based on cheapest price, best customer service, widest product line, etc.
Another awesome video !
This video is very informative and necessary one for anyone who just started out !
It is ashamed for the United States Mint to be so trash … perhaps, when you don’t take and there is NO pride in your work , then everything turned TRASH = BAD !!!
Hands down only one mint for me.... Scottsdale Mint
Interesting story with MCM i have buy several times and e-mail with them and everything was great,I can't excuse them, it certainly seems like they do a mistake, but at least my experience has been good. And I will continue buying, thanks for your video
My first order with Provident was for random 1 oz rounds. It was 25.99ea. A couple days later after the spot price dropped those same rounds are now showing $27.61ea. Do these dealers price lower for 1st time buyers and then raise up after you create an account and place an order? I've heard airline prices will go up on people when they delay buying tickets and you need to clear out cookies or use a VPN to stop that. Just curious if anybody else has noticed this.
Thanks for sharing this. It's a relief to see the online dealers I watch and order from are in the "Not too Shabby" category and I agree the US mint is total garbage & I have a feeling they'll be in line soon for a list of federal lawsuits for failing to meet their obligations.
Thanks Duke!
I have five that I research for every purchase to compare prices. But the key for me is to SIGN UP for the relentless barrage of emails.... and then READ them... there are COMMON weekly sales for coins and rounds and bars. For example, Hero had goldbacks a full dollar less for EACH "Utah 1". Plus, I recently included PIMBEX to my list. Oh, when you sign up your email with any, you commonly get a 'first time buyer super discount' of some sort (like NO premium). The temptation is REAL! Be sure to have $300 bucks ready to spend to take full advantage of the deals.
Gainesville coins has silver buffalos for the best price I’ve seen lately. Has anyone done buss with them before?
I do 90% of my business with Great Lakes Coin, their website is easy to use, no hidden “as low as” pricing schemes, but their selection is limited. Bold is inflexible and really sloooowwww. I’d put them in the caution category. I like JM, my second choice and not too shabby, but second choice = 2% of my business. Hero, used to do a lot of business with them but their customer service blows, and their website is terrible.
Bold sent me a really dinged up Britannia bar a few months ago, the thing looked like it was thrown around and used as a football. But they were eager to make me happy and replaced it with a pristine one a few weeks later. SD bullion did something similar with the same bar and basically told me to kick rocks. SD bullion had no desire to help me at all and used the "its bullion, dings don't matter" excuse but honestly who the hell would find a dinged up Britannia bar acceptable for the premiums we're paying? I am completely done shopping with SD bullion.
What about Money Metals Inc. I have bought a lot from them. They are trustworthy but their premiums are high. I also buy from Southern Coins and Precious Metals. They have given me some good deals.
Monument Metals has the best prices the majority of the time I feel. The selection is not the best one for the semi numismatic coins.
SD has the worst customer service. Long wait times too. Definitely never dealing with them again.
Monument, hero and bullion exchanges are the only companies I've never had damaged products come to me. I like apmex's selection the best. I hate silvergoldbull''s website and that you can't ship to a secondary location ( at least when I tried them)
2:59 '....or physical check, if your from like the 1800s..." LOL.
Apparently I'm from the 1800s, since that is the way I've paid for most of my orders with online bullion dealers.
👴🏻
SD expensive lately
Although they are more "artsy" style pours and whatnot, Reckless Metals should be on this list
Also SD should be "money"
I've ordered from several online bullion dealers and I like SD bullion the best.
So who are the Top Three youtube channels that SD Bullion sponsors? I am only aware of "Yankee Stacking" and "Silver Dragons".
I think Silver Seeker
I get my goods from @Empire Precious Metals my friends ❤
I am surprised that goldsilver is not on the list.
Sd bullion is trash. Every selection I pick everything sold out. Same with JM. APMEX seems better
Some of the companies have certain things that you can only get from them others don't have a wide selection
I frequently shop on the NZ mint page because I love to collect but I agree that their products are overpriced. I’ve had only one problem with my product being delivered damaged through no fault of the NZ Mint but rather customs.
(The display boxes were damaged not the actual silver). I contacted the mint and they were very nice and willing to make things right for me! In that event, I learned that if you ordered from the NZ Mint that exceeds $700 then customs will imprison your package and make you pay extra fees to them in order to get your products. However, if it’s less that $700 then there are no additional fees from customs and they pass it on through. I live in Indiana and I always get my package from New Zealand in less than a week plus free shipping! (Despite over priced product) I always felt their customer service was excellent. However, because of the time difference, you may have to wait a day or a weekend for your response for their next business day
Ugh, yep, that's exactly what happened to me. They essentially blackmail you to get your stuff freed from customs. This is why I no longer buy from LPM or NZMint. Too risky.
I purchase quite a bit from JM. When I've done pricing, compared to others like Apmex, they are either around the same, or lower.
The reason why SD bullion says they are the lowest prices. It's because if you know about it you can call and have them do price matches! So what early they are the lowest price there is! You just have to take the time to call and make them do a price match. I'm 99.9 percent sure that's the way they do things maybe they call it a low price guarantee or something like that but yeah they will match anybody price so by definition that would be the lowest price correct? Kind of sucks that you have to do the extra work for it though but it is what it is. I mean I don't think you can expect them to go match some random price on eBay or anything but hopefully you wouldn't expect something like that
Yea I agree with you that is a pain in the butt to have to call.
I don't get why people don't understand the random thing. Its random to the company. Whatever was cheapest for them to buy. Not "a bunch of different round"
Well my friend hero bullion atm is the best in price yes there shipping is a bit slow its been about 2 weeks but.....i bought 3 RCM 10 oz bars for 292 40$ cheaper than all others,bold is a very good 1 2nd lowest in price,and I'm susprised nothing about golden state mint super fast shipping and 3rd in lowest prices ill keep buying from hero bullion the wait is worth it❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Love sd and monument but have been looking at pimbex will give them a shot. Would most likely never buy from apmex or jm due to their very high prices
SD Bullion: Not the cheapest prices. Period. Monument beats them consistently. Monument and Hero are the two best IMHO.
I have not used all the dealers you have. APMEX spot on. They pissed me off but I use them for things I can't find anywhere else. Being a scientist and Serbian, I LOVE the Serbian Tesla coins. I have a collectable and a tube of each of the 6 years in my deep stack. I worked with Merritt there until they let her go because she was good to her customers. They gave me Scott. A liar and a nightmare. SD Bullion, has been cheaper than others but sometimes even APMEX beats their prices. They lost one of my shipments. It took them 1-2 months before they acknowledged I was entitled to a refund. I refused the refund and ordered something else. But not bad company, HERO Bullion. Spot on. total agreement. Some of the other stuff I get from my LCS or from auction (not the cheapest but I love the human interaction and supporting the people I like like you Stormy.
You're appreciated, Tiger! Thank you!!! : )
Gold precious metals best price but inventory is limited. Great if you like Germania coins
Thanks for this video! I’m still pretty new to building coins, but I started only buying from APMEX because I just didn’t know any better lol. Videos like these have helped me make less nooby mistakes. Cheers.
shipping seems to reflect on credit card-paypal or check or e-check-paypal a buck over per ounce-but fast shipping-e-check a week longer but a buck cheaper-never done personal check-it's hard to wait for e-check to clear-but less money per ounce-thoughts?-looking things over-it's all about the sales these companies play-the premium is where they get you
I always do eCheck
I love paying more at APMEX because it makes me feel like my coins are more valuable
Lol
I guess I live in the 1800s. E-check or physical checks are the least expensive way to buy. Speed isn't as important to me. I've used most of these businesses plus a few more not mentioned. Overall, I've had good experiences. I look for low prices, unique pieces at times, and low purchase prices for free shipping. (I'm a small bit buyer, and dealers influence other dealers on the minimum purchase for free shipping rates. I've seen a couple go up over recent years.) Not being a big buyer, I don't know enough to rank them. I do appreciate sales, which keeps me switching from one dealer to another. At least one company keeps track of the worth of your purchases over time, which is a nice feature. Interesting to hear your thoughts. (And I do hate to buy from the government mint directly, although that should be one of the best options.)
My main problem with silver is the taxes. $4-5 over spot, not including the 10% CA sales tax
Love the video. Agree with your choices.
Thanks for watching!
Ive been buying from Goldenstate Mint , they've been consistently cheaper on rounds , also many good gold deals but sparse at best ...I stopped buying from Provident or JM b they have really bad customer service , and pad their ticker they base their prices on , by about 10 $ consistently .
I like your rankings. I have only been buying for a couple months. Hero,apmex and silver bull get the bulk of the purchases I have made. I do like the weekly specials notifications. Thanks for putting this video together.
My pleasure!
Hero Bullion and Monument Metals have been excellent for every category for me personally...I will only shop outside of them at Apmex when hero and Monument are out of ehat im looking for or if there is a certain coin i want.
I think SD Bullion is all hype from what ive heard..heard there customer service is terrible
I buy from sd mostly due to their lower prices..usually only buy from them on sale things. Which usually they have somethings decent on sale.
I miss the old JM Bullion. I acquired my metals nearly exclusively from them for several years. Their prices are crazy now, imo. I've been dealing mostly w Monument lately. Shipping not the quickest, other than that , not too bad.
SD & APMEX are trustworthy and my go too.
I never hear from youtubers on Golden State Mint. But price is almost always lowest. 1 oz Aztec rounds $25.74 any quantity.
My issue with them is slow time sending orders out.
I agree very slow.
As a Texan, “Hero Bullion for me!
Pinehurst Coins is number one for me right now..."Dead men tell no tales" rounds are the coolest silver round ever and they are cheap. They are selling like crazy and I'm sure they will bring massive premiums in the future long after they quit making them.
I've had very good experiences with Bullion Exchange but i definitely agree that their shipping time is very frustrating.
As far as Apmex goes I order through my One Gold account and get their best tier pricing so I have no complaints.
I've order for JM a hand full of times over the years and they're ok I guess and yes their pricing has increased over the years years 🤔
If I may recommend a well priced and and timely shipping dealer it would be Liberty Coin in Huntington Beach ⛱️ CA.
Lost in the mail NYC.
I like Scottsdale but their shipping is really slow.
We all clearly know that Tuesday night auctions by Empire Precious Metals are always in "The Danger Zone" ... well actually it's "The Dorito Zone!" ... "Highway to the Dorito Zone. Gonna take you right into the Dorito Zone..."
Not Too Shabby column looks a bit crowded. The only one I've dealt with in there is Monument Metals, seems like a fair enough ranking for what they are though. I haven't dealt with Hero Bullion, but I've also heard good things about them. What you said on SD Bullion I also know to be true, they are not the lowest price, Period. I'm also familiar with JM Bullion and Providence Metals, but haven't spent much time looking into them. Apmex should get knocked down into "Meh" just because of their prices. Can't really speak in the others, but I would like to see an updated video with any adjustments and some new names added, specifically Money Metals Exchange and Golden State Mint, and another I come across all the time on the internet, BGASC.
Money Metals Exchange would probably end up in "Meh" right next to Apmex. I can say that because I've personally purchased lots of silver from MMX, or personally overpaid on lots of silver from them is more like it. Golden State Mint is my #1 go-to online shop now. I'm open-minded and would be curious to see other opinions on them.
You should also rank on the maneuvering ability around their websites. I walk into a shop in Clifton, North Jersey and they said their prices were comparable to Apmex, after asking about a selling price we ended up walking right back out within a minute.
And what about the Canadian dealers?
What about Liberty coin? I find their prices have been better than most, am I completely wrong (majority of what I purchase are 1 oz gold American eagles and buffalos)
Yes actually I just went back and checked liberty coin vs almost every site and liberty coins prices for 1 oz gold coins is by far the best
From what I see 1oz gold American eagles, 1oz gold American buffalos, 1oz gold maples and 1oz gold Britannia’s are all the cheapest on Libertycoin… if you find any of those 4 cheaper anywhere else please let me know because I certainly can’t. Thank you 🙏
You should add one more category to be judged by, and that is PACKAGING.
I have lost a few items to theft (in the mail, before it ever reached me), and that was due to the way J.M Bullion packaged their coins...loose, in a big box. The thief probably just shook the box, figuring out that there were coins inside. They ripped the corner open, and just slid out the coins.
Now, I ONLY deal with APMEX. They aren’t the cheapest, but man, they package their coins second to none. I don’t worry about my coins being stolen by USPS or UPS before it even arrives at my door.
The peace of mind I get with APMEX, knowing the packaging is extremely difficult to rip into and steal items, is absolutely priceless.
Peace. 🐰💙🇺🇸🗽🎸🎶🤝✌️
Good idea!
Pricing should be the first category. Shipping costs, included? They all track shipping, so shipping range/distance would be second, do they ship outside of the US? Hawaii? US territories? The inventories are good to know.
WHAT ABOUT Beverly Hills precious metals?
You know after you meantioned the 3 UA-camrs sponsored by sd. I tried searching the top metal UA-camrs by subscription. Not one single video or webpage on tbis. Surprised
What do you mean?
Thank you, nice review and informative. I price compare with APMEX, JM, SD, Provident (which I'll drop, prices too high anyway), Monument, and PIMBEX (which you didn't review), but haven't yet looked at Bullion Exchange, Silver Gold Bullion, nor Bold of which I will take a look at. Started with JM and their military discount, but learned depending on the product prices are better elsewhere many times so shop around, and different sales all over. Thanks again.
Thank you, Terry!
I agree with every word that you said
