I’m a newbie to buying precious metals, in fact never have. I have 5k cash saved that I have been keeping out of the bank for obvious reasons. Now I’m looking to buy silver and gold. There’s so much info out there it’s hard to tell what’s real or not and makes my head spin. I live in Northern Virginia. Any anons out there in my area know the best place to buy these metals? I’ve also seen there is different types of silver and gold, so which is the best to buy? And where can I look to see the current “spot” (still a little unsure about what that means) price? Any help would be greatly appreciated for a young(ish) 30 year old guy who knows nothing about this topic!

Another vote for JMBullion.com, reliable and always fast shipment. Gold is a great place for protecting your wealth in a collapse, but it's hard to spend effectively in that scenario. Silver is a much more useable form of currency, and many people believe silver pricing is significantly repressed and so makes a better investment while also protecting your wealth in a crash. I think adding in some junk silver (worn pre '65 coins) makes sense if you're focused on barter. Your mix of PM's will be based on what you're buying for (investment, wealth protection, being off grid, disaster barter resources, etc).
I have read that JMBullion offers a military discount.
