I am/will be a novice at this. Haven’t a clue who to go to, what to expect, the questions to ask. PBman2 offered up some good context on silver. I just sold a house. How much would you advise I spend on both? I don’t trust banks and since gold will destroy the FED and I’m going to be flush with cash from my house sell, I’m ready to jump in. What’s the safest way to get it? I don’t trust P.O. Boxes either.

I have had good service from JMBullion.com. They also handled my converting an IRA into a gold IRA. Made it a near painless process.
i have had nothing but excellent service from jmbullion, for many years...
I had heard about them. I’ll probably be using them. Do you know how you would “cash in?” As far as needing to purchase something. I don’t know what the process would be. I’m sinking all my surplus into this so I want to cover all the bases. Thank you for responding. I knew I would get what I needed among frens
It's retail. You go to the site, pick out what you want, decide how you want to pay and place your order. They ship it right to your door. Easy peasy.
I have bought quite a bit from APMEX (American Precious Metals Exchange). They are top notch
Salty cracker has an advertiser he recommends for precious metals... I believe if you go to saltmustflow.com and check his sponsors you'll find a link to them there... If not there, check out his livestream at 7:30 est tonight for the link... Rumble or Odysee Cary the love stream... WARNING!!! Salty IA most definitely NOT politically correct... kekekek... 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers fren...
First, I recommend buying a good safe, if it is small enough to carry away bolt it down. Second do not advertise to friends and family that you are storing precious metals at your property (loose lips sink ships). You can check local dealers and coin shops to see if they are reputable (usually are if they have long business history in same area). The quantity you can buy will depend on what they carry in inventory unless they can order it in for you. Many online companies like JM Bullion etc. should be good to deal with also. Always check the daily posted spot prices before you purchase. You will pay a premium over the spot price that is part of the normal business exchange. I would buy some of both gold and silver, although I personally would invest more in silver than gold because I believe silver will have a greater increase in value per dollar compared to gold. That being said, it should be what you feel comfortable with and as for the amount you purchase, you should be willing to sit on that investment until the values truly increase. I hope this information will be helpful.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I usually buy from silvergoldbull using crypto. Just because I couldn’t find another actual use for my crypto lol.
I found a local woman owned metal dealer who will melt down your own silver items and turn them into bars. She buys and sells. I made an appointment and then privately bought and carried away my silver.
For silver coins I bought Canadian Maple Leafs from Monex, though that was quite a few years ago. Recently a bought silver bars from Scottsdale Mint. I tend to be more bullish on Silver than gold as I feel it's been more manipulated/suppressed than gold.
The Maple Leafs are .9999% pure compared to American Eagles at .999. Also the Eagles are substantially more expensive. If we're stacking silver do we care if there is an eagle or a maple leaf on the coin? I don't. Only care about the silver content.
Agree. Can you tell me how it gets delivered? This is my first time. A tad nervous
I think Monex if I recall was by UPS. Scottsdale Mint on the other hand kinda pissed me off as they shipped the bars via USPS. Both though I had to sign for. They don't just leave on your stoop.
It's all insured, and you sign for it. Don't open it if it appears to have been damaged. Contact the seller immediately. I've never had any problems though.
Places I have bought mainly silver and a little gold from. JM Bullion, SD Bullion, silver.com, have had no problems with these 3. You would want to hold physical metals, preferably at home in a safe.
There is one dealer who gives a military discount. Does that apply to you? If so, I'll go look it up.
Yes. Husband is an Army vet. Thank you!
okay, it's JM Bullion. I haven't used them myself but many frens here have used them and recommend. Here is the thread with the discussion, which is closer to the bottom.

Thanks for your help. It’s appreciated.
good luck! stacking is fun and addicting!
I order from s d boullion - they sell Q and Trump coins
Get yourself a bag of junk silver coins (these are silver coins that were minted in the US before 1965). They all contained 90% silver prior to 65. And if investing in real gold ... look at obtaining some coins rather than gold bars. They would be easier to trade. I have more silver coins than gold coins but the gold coins were more money.
I sold my inherited stock from my parents when Obama got elected and used it to buy gold and silver. I bought through Goldline. You will pay a fee for them to handle it and they will ship it directly to you in an unremarkable package. There are other companies out there you can use. Check around since some will offer you better deals on occasion.
Also you can check out any antique dealer who may have them. We ran across one in New Bern, NC with a huge stock of gold and silver coins, stamps etc. If I hadn't already bought my gold and silver I would have considered doing something like that.
Whatever you do, make sure you get them to send it directly to you. Some people ask them to hold onto it for them. But in a truly SHTF event you would want that where you can use it.
We also invested in a home safe that is secured and bolted down.
You’re in NC too. I was checking out JM Bullion’s web page and NC charges sales tax on certain items. If you purchase from a coin shop or antique dealer how do you know you’re getting the legit gold/silver? These are a few of the questions I had and thank you for responding. I’ve not heard of Goldline before. I’ll check it out.
Judging from the antique shop we walked through in New Bern and from speaking with the owner the guy knows his stuff. It was literally full of collectibles of all kinds...even old baseball cards. Coins and stamps were his specialty. If you do happen to go into a shop like that you can always do a websearch on the price of the coins you want to purchase.
That’s a good idea. We have a couple of shops close by. One is a pawn shop where I bought a couple of guns and he has a huge supply of coins. I got a good deal on my last handgun but I knew nothing about gold or silver except what I learn here. Haven’t had the money to purchase any precious metals until now. Getting out from under a mortgage and investing in real money instead of buying a another house. Thanks for your help.
When I received gold in the mail, I took them to the local coin shop and had a few random coins verified by weight and density. There was a small fee.
Thank you for your help. I feel much more confident about it all now. I sense the bottom falling out is not far off and I want to be solidly stacked when it happens
I’d add to check prices carefully with antique dealers. In my area I find they just price them based on what they paid for them, and not where the market is at. I looked up coin stores in my area and tried out two. Bought small amount at first just to check out prices and my comfort level with them. Bought multiple stuff through them now. Used SD bullion a couple times, but really like being able to have the vendor test the coins I am buying right there when I am buying them.
Good idea. I would love to find a dealer who price their merch based on what they paid! Sounds like they’re not into it to make money. I do like the idea of being able to buy locally. Think I’m going to make friends with my local guy and check around for others. Many thanks for your advice.
But that is the word of warning. At the time the silver prices were down, so they would have coins priced at, say, $26 per ounce when the market price was lower and you could buy coins at $22 per ounce. I’m guessing if the market was higher they would raise their prices, so I just never shop at those places and stick to actually coin dealers. Which maybe they did antiques too, but you want someone that presents themselves as a coin shop, not just having one section of their display cases with a few coins in it. In my experience.
I think you're smart! If you have a question, you can dm me. I don't know too much but i have purchased some different types of silver and can give you my experience. I would also like to know what the military discount is with JMB
Thank you. Any wisdom I have has come with time, an open mind to what was actually going on and really observing it and noticing no one else was awake and what I’ve learned here. Been on these boards since the Reddit and Voat days. Many wise anons here. I knew I would be advised well. Thank you fren.
