Where do you purchase your silver?

[DaveyDave]

Hello fellow stackers. I am pretty new to the stacking community and I’m very curious as to where you buy your silver? I have been purchasing American eagles from sdbullion and I’m not sure if I’m getting the best bang for my buck. I’m a bit scepticle about purchasing any silver off eBay or amazon. Any advice on how I can get the best trust worthy bang for my buck? I should add that my main purpose for stacking is one day be able to turn it in for gold. Thanks in advance!

SD Bullion is one of the lowest priced options in North America, so you're doing alright buying from them.

Another good option is Silver.com. They're usually the cheapest before shipping. Whether they're the cheapest with shipping included will depend on the size of the order.

JM Bullion is often cheapest for small orders, since they only charge $3.99 for shipping for orders under $99 (over $99 gets free shipping).

BOLD Precious Metals is worth a look, as is Gainesville Coins. They'll occasionally have the lowest price on some item, but usually the lowest price will be Silver.com or SD Bullion. Where BOLD and Gainesville shine is with the unique bars and rounds they carry.

eBay will sometimes have a good deal from a reputable dealer (many major dealers sell on eBay in addition to their own websites). It may take some time to find good deals though.

I would also check local coin shops if you are in a tax free state, sometimes you can pick up ASEs for spot or 50cents over spot.

Thanks for the help guys, I’m from Connecticut so it’s most likely the last state to ever be tax free

Basically all online bullion dealers will have a sale of some sort from time to time. Keep your eyes peeled because this is a good time for sales. I basically shop JM, APMEX, and Monument metals the most, but I jump on deals from any of the well known bullion dealers.

I make probably 90% of my purchases from JM Bullion due to their very reasonable military/veterans discount.

Occasionally I will buy from APMEX, SD, or Provident if the $ is right.
