I've used SD Bullion, JM Bullion, APMEX, Gainesville Coins, Golden Eagle Coins, Money Metals Exchange, Golden State Mint without any issue. All have a free shipping threshold of $200 ($100 for Golden Eagle) but when there was a big spike in demand last spring some of the minimums jumped like APMEX wouldn't fulfill an order under $300 for a couple weeks. I prefer to go to my local shop as it's very good but a few times they got so wiped out there wasn't much to buy plus most of the online stores also take crypto so I cashed out my Bitcoin profits for silver.
The premium for silver these past couple years is ridiculous. I'll usually pay around $2/eagle over spot; now they're getting $10. I haven't made my 2021 or 22 purchases because of this. That's a big hill to climb if you ever want to exchange it.
You can buy coins/bars directly from Royal Bank. You pay a premium but it’s quick and easy. Other alternative is to goto a local dealer, although your card limit will cap your order for larger purchases.
Absolutely. JM Bullion. If you don’t like the person you deal with call back and get someone else. I got Laura in the IRA dept. So helpful and knowledgeable. They have thousands of good reviews. I got 225 ounces of silver and 3 ten ounce bars for $8,161. Took a week. Looking at them now. The UPS driver almost croaked carrying them down our hill.
Sd bullion, jm bullion, Scottsdale are all some that I use. I think the best idea is finding a local coin shop (LCS) that you trust and build a relationship. This is where you can ask questions, pay cash, avoid taxes, and stay off any govt lists. These people are as based as we are, I’d be highly surprised if we didn’t have lcs dealers lurking this board
Ive used all those bullion dealers mentioned here and the service for all of them has been great. Now I shop around and select the lowest premiums.
Dont get suckered into buying collectibles. Just buy the cheapest silver you can find.
Also it doesnt hurt to have a hundred dollars face value of junk silver. Old coins are 90% silver and will be much easier to use for barter in the event of total economic collapse. I get mostly dimes but also have quarters and half dollars. These I dont buy for the melt value at all, just for barter value. Ive been buying a bag every year since 1985.
Any trusted sites you purchase silver from we could use?
All the major dealers are good sd bullion, apmex jm bullion and your local coin/bullion shop
Me too. I can vouch for jm bullion

I use APMEX
I’ve been really happy with Money Metals Exchange.
I use them as well.
GainesvilleCoins.com ProvidentMetals.com ScottsdaleMint.com
FYI Provident is JM Bullion, it looks like JM bought them sometime before last year and their online catalog is nearly identical.
I have had good experiences with JM Bullion.
Same, I like SD Bullion as well but their stock got really low for a while. APMEX seems to be the most reliable supply wise.
