How do I go about investing in gold and/or silver?
I am interested in putting a portion of my savings into gold and/or silver – however I am confused as to exactly how one goes about doing this. I’ve googled the area around my place and it looks like the only places where gold/silver is available are shady pawn shops type deals and coin shops. What should one look for to objectively determine (not word of mouth) whether or not a dealer is reputable?
More importantly, what is a reasonable premium I should be expected to pay on gold/silver bullion? And how can I be sure that what I am buying is actually the real deal and not just plain crap?
I am not interested in using e-bay or Kitco and paying the associated shipping costs or worry about insuring a shipment or having it stolen or lost. I am also not interested in buying ETF, e-gold, gold stocks, or anything of that sort. I am only interested in tangible metal for reasons too detailed for me to get into with the character and time limitation I have right now. Please help!
well you don’t leave many options if you are not willing to pay for shipping. the only thing that i can say is call the bbb in your area and ask if the coin dealer has any complaints. you might also see if there is a coin collector club in your area that has tips for you. as far as pricing goes i use the web to compare prices. goldline.com has some great info on it. you can google silver or gold bullion and find many dealers to shop.
