Where does one go about buying silver .. I’ve looked online, every site feels like a scam… especially when you have no knowledge of it
I've ordered through JMBullion. All the sites have high premium on coins, even rounds. The spot price plus premium is normal, but premiums have never been this high. Normally, 5-10% give or take. Been watching premiums climb the last few years. Now it is closer to 40-50% for silver eagles. It's going to go higher because demand is so high. Normally spot price follows demand, but they are correct, silver is artificially manipulated to keep spot low.
I have been getting my best prices from the pawn shop. Lots of stacking !
ALWAYS try your local coin shops first. Go make some real world relationships, pay in cash, avoid taxes
I love my local coin shop. The prices are much much better!
I bought lots of silver from jm bullion and sd bullion,they are both good.
Thanks!
There’s many legit online stores. Just do a search for best places to buy silver online. I have faith in you.
