I'm seriously considering putting a portion of my savings into gold or silver so that it retains its value over the years. Any basic tips or things to consider when buying gold or silver bullion?

>> No.14787456

Only buy from reputable sources... I use Kitco ... they will buy the precious metals back from you when you are ready to sell.

Don’t tell anyone when you get them... word gets around and you may get robbed.

Maybe get a heavy safe if you can get it into your house by yourself.

I have 1,000 out of silver... silver is more volatile and has greater up and down side potential... gold is less volatile but is a safer bet

Always weigh what you buy to ensure it’s authenticity

>>14787456
To be fair, weight is nothing. I've seen good Chinese counterfeits of gold bars with tungsten cores.

>> No.14787468

>>14787413
Yeah buy directly from the company's eBay account. Example Scottsdale silver. Also be patient they will run good deals every 2-4 weeks because they need to raise cash for mining

>> No.14787478

If my crypto investments take off I will buy more silver and maybe a few KGs of gold

Is apmex a reliable silver source?

>> No.14787488

American Gold buffalos and Eagles you can't go wrong. For silver don't buy anything over 10oz. Try to stick to 1oz Silver Eagles and Canadian maple leafs. Don't buy hand poured stuff unless you like wasting money.

>> No.14787505

>>14787463
Yea, tungsten is close but not the same exact weight... I mainly invest in silver

I do plan on getting kg of gold however, that’s about as large as I would go in gold... all bigger sizes are prone to being faked... that’s why you can only buy from reputable sources that will buy the metals back from you

>> No.14787541

>>14787468
No don’t use eBay.. use the actually companies website

Like kitco dot com or Apmex dot com

I like 100 ozt silver bars but they are not as easy to sell if you want to sell locally ...

I stick with pure bullion... I don’t buy the fancy coins because they have huge mark ups... even American eagles have mark ups... just buy bars... the heavier the bar the better the deal

I wouldn't even bother with gold at this point.
For every ounce of gold you can get 93 ounces of silver.
You're better off just buying a 10 ounce bar of silver than a 10th of an ounce of gold.

>He doesn’t know

If you don’t hold it you don’t own it. The whole point of owning precious metals is to be able to survive if banks close and shtf scenario. Don’t even put your precious metals in a safety deposit box. If shtf the bank will not allow you to get it out.

If you buy in person the government doesn’t know you have it... you could skip in capital gains tax if you want... but that’s risky

But that is an option.. I am buying because Silver will likely hit $50 in the next recession.
If JPmorgan stops manipulating the market silver could hit like $300 but I doubt that will happen

>> No.14789756

>>14789610
Agreed but some research and price listings can ease you into making the right call on certain Numismatic coins. I’m focusing on graded ms70 pandas from between 2000-2008 because of low population of ms70 grade and the general mintage numbers being low compared to other Bullion coins.

>>14789677
Silver can easily bump up to $100/oz when a new technology requires it. Miners will take time to catch up with production. If you have silver on hand you can easily cash out when it begins before it tapers off.
