Buying for my kiddos

CNote

Hi fellas (and maybe ladies?), I don't do the metals at all, however my gramps had several eagles and bars for me when he passed away. In a time of desperation, they got sold, however I'd like to have something similar for my kids. Not necessarily for investment, but for a memento. What might be the best place to purchase? The bay, or some other online site?

Thanks,
Carlton

the bay is overpriced for most metals. I would try Provident metals, apmex, goldmart, the BST here, silvertowne, gainesville, MCM, kitco or your local B&M. compare a few to get the best price for what you are looking for and remember to factor in shipping charges as some places are more than others.
good luck

Maybe something like a gold or silver eagle from their birth year would be nice.

Look in your phone book under coin shops, give them a visit...

Only ONE in my area, and their hours make it tough for me to make it there- I'm at home with the kids, and they don't want them in there due to their age.

Anyhow, thank you ALL for the input, I'll check out all the referrals!!

four coin gold eagle set for their birth year. You can do proofs or non-proofs or both. Try moderncoinmart.com, they are also on ebay.

If you're going to paypal/cc stuff do an online order vs all that ebay mess and save yourself any worry.

How about gold on their Golden birthday? That's what we did for ours.
