I'm in the market for silver mostly, at the moment looking to buy 100+ 1Toz silver bars. Best price I've found was $2067 for 100oz of silver shot. I've also been looking at getting a forge and crucible, so was thinking of melting down the silver shot and pouring my own 1oz bars. Seems like a fun hobby, with that I can also make copper and aluminum ingots as well. Not that they're worth very much but never know when they might come in handy.

I'm not really looking for 5-10oz bars or even kilos. I want them to be smaller denominations so if the stuff ever does hit the fan or our economy ceases to exist, which isn't too far fetched these days, I can use them for payment/barter.

Anyone have a good place to buy them not too far over spot price?

Thanks

Hero bullion has had the best prices I’ve seen lately on silver.

Betty Crocker bars will be (should be) suspicious. Minted bars only if you want your barter precious metal to be taken seriously.

APMX.

Thanks, HB was where I found the silver shot.


Yes, good point and I had already started leaning that direction after posting this.


Thanks, I'm looking at them now.

Buy it in Grams

Already looked at that, but that works out to 47 an oz. LOL

Provident has 10 oz, any mint, for $234.

Free shipping

From my local undertaker.

Had a bunch that my company gave for prizes instead of cash. I cashed them in and did quite well. This was in early 2000

Thanks, 5oz is the largest I'd want to buy. Prefer the 1oz bars though. Lowest I've found on them are $22.60/oz shipped.

Now is the time to buy. Silver prices are way down ($19.42).

Hero Bullion's prices on 1 oz. bars are about $3 cheaper than APMEX.

I've used Provident in Dallas for buying, and selling, easy to deal with

Me too.

Apmex has sales every week. Sign up for their emails and you'll get notifications. I got silver buffalo coins last week for $22.70. If you can get close on price to bars I'd suggest coins. Easier to carry and store and they come in rolls.

Same here.

Monumental metals seems to beat everyone else lately

Thanks everyone. I put up a WTB in the classifieds if I don’t find any there I’ll buy from one of the above mentioned.

Yep, in a hard plastic sleve.

APMX, SD Bullion, Provident and JM are all good . Shop around.

Thanks guys, doesn't look like I'm getting much traction in the classifieds section. So I'm probably just going to buy from a bullion dealer, probably safer that way anyway.

Looks like Hero Bullion has the lowest prices I can find. Also just noticed that they are in Princeton TX just east of McKinney. I just contacted them to see if they allow walkins and cash buyers. If so I'll make a trip down this weekend and buy a bunch.

I still have my coin collection from my teenage years. Lots of Whitman folders plus roll of coins from pre 1964.
No plans to do anything with them. I don’t need the coins or the money they would bring.

Yes sir, I replied in the classifieds to you. Let me know if you'd like to make a deal.
