Just made my first Gold/Silver Purchase ever

MBMiller25

Im a baseball card guy so please excuse my ignorance, but decided to purchase 5 oz. of gold (5-buffalos )and 40oz. of silver (20-buffalos and 20-american eagles). im starting to get very concerned with the value of the dollar and of course inflation on the horizon. I purchased via APMEX as they had the lowest commisions that I could find. As a newbie, just curious if there is anywhere better to purchase gold and silver, and if I made a bad purchase buying at all-time highs on both gold and silver.

Don't worry about the spot price when you bought, just keep buying and it'll even out. Apmex is a very good place to buy from. eBay is ok if you search for the good deals or use the cashback thing and get a rebate. The BST here is a great place to shop for PM's as well.

If you buy direct from people here, those with 1000+ posts and can provide references of other board members whom they have dealt with you will both eliminate the middle man.

Otherwise, bulliondirect.com has only 2% commission between buyer/seller. You might also wish to consider if you want records kept on all your purchases. maybe cash in/ cash out would be a better way to go for some of it.

That said. Interested in a 100ox engelhard?

Welcome Matt. Nice see a fellow card collector get into pms. Buffalos carry a sort of high premium but they are 24k,very popular and gorgeous coins in hand. Don't worry about the high price so much, most importantly your in the game. Apmex is a very trustworthy company. I also like Gainsville coins, and Tulving for large purchases.
