You can most certainly get Silver at spot prices online all day every day. I have literally 1000 ounces of the shit that I've bought in the last year all online...ebay alone was half of my purchasing
Don't get me wrong, I think coins -> metals is the future, I even had a post about it a few days ago. I'm just saying, don't spread misinformation
Id like to see a retailer or wholesaler where I can purchase silver coins at spot price. I will make it my new place to buy. If you have any available sites that you purchase from please post it or PM me or both (since I rarely go back and check thread I post in)
I buy the green "monster" boxes from the mint all the time and I have never gotten silver coins at the troy ounce market spot price. One time I was able to buy below spot but it was a private sale (pre-estate sale) and I purchased just over 700 coins in total and paid cash. That was also before the 2008 crash (before people got worried again)
