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.

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.
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.
