Anyone Bought Directly From Silvertowne?

Saved me about 25$!

We'll see how long it takes to get here

I would consider them but they require a 50 10-oz. bar minimum order. While I definitely plan to buy 500 oz., I do not plan to buy it all at once. I will space the orders out over a few months time. Thanks for the suggestion, though. They do seem to have some pretty nice prices.

And here they are!
I like them a lot, much better then buying a 10 oz bar and easier to sell if need be. But I think this will be it for a little while. I try to buy a 1/10 oz gold eagle every month or so, and I have 6 so far, working on a full tube!

But enjoy! Sorry the pictures are a little crappy.
But my biggest and only real concern is that they say one ounce, and not one troy ounce, but meh

They don't say troy oz for the same reason a pound of butter or T-bone doesn't say avoirdupois oz. That's the kind ounces used for that item, and anyone dealing in that item should not need that explained.

Weigh one and see for yourself

I think that's backwards. Considering that a Troy Ounce is 31.1 grams and an Av Ounce is 28.35 grams, one Troy ounce purchased at $30 would be 96.4 cents per gram. An Av ounce for $30 would run you $1.05 a gram, and you'd have ~3 grams less silver.

av = 437.5 gr
tr = 480 gr

I agree with you about Provident Metals. They are one of the three on-line PM vendors that I use and recommend.

That said, I also like SilverTowne. I tried them after receiving several good recommendations from fellow CCF members. I am definitely not disappointed in them and will continue to buy from them. I especially like their 5-oz. silver bars for the plastic wrapping, their no extra credit card fee policy, and their free shipping of on-line orders. They do charge a bit more for their bars than most others but taken as a whole package, it is quite good.
