There are many places to buy Silver and Gold Bars, Coins, and Rounds.

Many people buy from local coin shops, however in this marketplace with massive demand many of these smaller shops have little in stock.

Others look to the bigger online retailers such as:  Border Gold, Monex, Apex, Scottsdale Silver and even Ebay.

While the majority of these companies have a good track record there are differences.

Some good questions to investigate:

1.  Easy Of Online Ordering, couple of clicks or phone ordering?

2.  Do they accept Credit Cards?

3.  Do they ship within days, or do they usually have long delays?

4.  Quality of product?

Based on many of the above as well as track records of those I’ve heard from, Scottsdale Silver continually seems to rank in the top.  They are the easiest to order from with simple online checkout.  Straight-forward pricing without credit card surcharges, they even accept paypal.   Many customers like the bonus protection they get with using a credit card not to mention the reward points on the card!   Browse their selection of bars and rounds and you’ll notice the quality is next to none.  Shipping times are some of the best in the industry each and every time.  Unlike some others, they seem to be well capitalized which is important.  Others are forced to first collect the customers money before they can order from the mint….which leads to long delay times and frustrated buyers!  Scottsdale has a policy of shipping within 2-4 days. — Which means you’ll get your bullion FAST without the worry that others go through.

All in all, you can’t go wrong with choosing from one of the names above, but not all ounces are created equal so stick to a dealer that has high quality and track record.  Good luck.
