What the Precious Metal Retailers Won’t Tell You

Do Not

  • Do not buy out of the newspaper or off the television – you are overpaying
  • Do not buy in response to marketing collateral or telemarketers – you are overpaying
  • Do not buy coins with a story – it’s just that – a story
  • Do not buy numismatics for investment purposes, only for collecting

Do

  • Do buy the least expensive form of gold or silver possible
  • Do remember that metals are a commodity just like coffee, oil or corn – priced exactly the same around the world at the same moment
  • Do know which metal to buy – when, in what form, and what proportion
  • Do know beyond a doubt that you can trust the seller and will receive your purchase within the time frame promised
  • Do make sure that the dealer you buy from is willing to buy back ANY item they have sold you at fair market value
