SD Bullion is the only major dealer that doesn't hedge their customer purchases on the COMEX (Phake paper contracts) and thus artificially push the silver/gold prices down just to avoid risk. And oh yeah, they usually have the best prices on most products.
For this reason alone, they are the top choice. APMEX is almost always more expensive and JM Bullion has a sketchy past as well as generally higher prices.
Local bullion dealers are fine for smaller purchases in general but it's always hit or miss with them. The only piece of advice I offer for buying locally is make sure the local dealer has a Sigma Analytics machine that you can test your purchased coins against. No test, no purchase in my book.
I think until someone that is new to this is to buy small amounts and as you get confident, then buy increased amounts. Time might be the only downside here. My worry is that buying online and then getting caught in a ‘no stock’ scenario. That idea with a Sigma Analytics machine is a great idea. So the buyer can check independently of the store? The company we buy from do this themselves in front of us.
Indeed, there's little "time" left to buy ANY silver or gold before it becomes UNOBTAINIUM and UNAFFORDIUM. Those days are long past.
I've never seen a "no stock scenario" in over 15 years. The online bullion dealers have highly advanced logistics processes and software.
Local dealers are almost always more expensive than online bullion dealers. Which is why they're only useful if you are buying tiny amounts.
