Better than APMEX?

Anonymous — Thu, 29 May 2014 19:03:34 GMT

I've picked up some little bits of "junk silver" here and there, but just put in my first order with APMEX because for a larger (almost $600.00, which is HUGE for me!) order, the shipping makes it a better deal. And APMEX is highly recommended.

Still just bought junk, because I'm not yet up to rounds & bars yet. And only silver.

For someone like me who knows so little about this, and who doesn't have the desire or time to go scour flea markets & bid on ebay (and I am boycotting them becuase of a bad transaction they screwed me on years ago), is this the best route? Anyone have a better option?

You are right, EBAY is not a great place to find deals. Occassionally you can pick some up at estate sales and garage sales -- occassionally you can run into someone who just doesn't know about value of the silver content and practically gives it away.

does anyone get bank rolls and go through them anymore & have luck? My nephew has had some luck with that.
