    Gold and silver coins

    ..... IS there a solid sight online a person can purchase gold and silver? The sort of place that buying the coins sight unseen is ok due to the level of professionalism of said retailer?

    No, i dont have ANY coin shops even REMOTELY close to me. So going to one is out!

    try The Coin Shop, Farmersville, NM. If you want to insure them, they are going to come Postal Registered mail, and you will have to show an ID. Can just risk small amounts, tho, in a larger, well padded box, UPS. The owner, for a bit of extra $, will make it look like a box full of magazines, or whatever. Avoid very small, very heavy, high $ boxes.

    D, what type of gold and silver? Are you just looking for some coins or larger items?
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.

    do NOT pay more for 1/10th oz coins than for 1 oz coins, and forget the silver. It's too bulky for carry. cut a 1/10th oz coin in half with a chisel, and it's still tradable. do NOT buy "non bullion" collectors' items, you'll lose your butt, and don't put money into metals that you will need for years. Otherwise, you'll be forced to sell when the price is "down" temporaily, Murphy sees to that. Use a 1/2 coin to buy a bushel of grain, crack it and make porridge, don't waste resources on backing bread, or expose yourself for that long, making smoke, etc.

    I have a different look at coins. I buy almost nothing but bullion coins. Usually I get pre 1964 quarters, halves, & dollars. Those can be found at most antique stores, online on Craigslist or e-bay. I never pay what the spot metal price is at the time. Also keep an eye on your spare change, I'll find a pre 64 coin or 2 about every time I sort our change.
    If you want some collectors coins of higher quality, I have used Swiss America in the past and was very pleased with the purchases. I got exactly what I purchased and they were sealed and graded.
