If you want the best deal call a mine directly. They send out their material to a refinery; they have 2 options for payment for the ore. Normally they can either get a check or physical gold or silver (or other metals) in certified bars. Many mines stock the metal waiting for a price increase. Find a small (or big) gold mine that is successful, not a guy with a gold claim. They will have gold or silver bars for sale. Only buy certified bars with stamps. Pay cash if you can, the guys love that.
