This is great! Thanks. I went to Silvertowne when I saw the SML were $2.02 over spot shipped, but they are sold out.

No worries about spelling. Nice matrix very helpful. I must say I'm not surprised that provident and silvertowne seem to have the best deals

what was dissapointing to me was how some of these dealers have lots of sneaky hidden costs. They push a low spot price on the splash page but when it is all said and done their prices werent all that good.

Ive noticed that as well. You get excited seeing the price then by the time checkouts almost complete you end up just leaving the site seeing the final price. I think APMEX is kind of a big offender of that as their shipping costs for a single coin are insane. They generally have reasonable prices but if you arent making a big purchase its just not worth it with the shipping included Edited by basebal21

Thank you for the great matrix. May I suggest you add: Canadian Wildlife series latest release & ATB 5oz coins. I know these are not 'standard bullion' per say but they are quite popular and CCF does have a dedicated group of collectors/buyer. Just my 2cents. |

Thanks for the thumbs up, but until I can streamline my data gathering process what is listed now is all I can handle. Those two matrices are the result of about 4 hours work. I don't have time to add to it as of yet.

I am assuming the yellow highlights are the premium cost over current melt?
Very nice work, your brain is a real computer at work, you an accountant perhaps, lol?
If some of you have not figured it out, you can click on each page an blow it up for a better read if your eyesight is like mine, not so great, lol....

Oh and I have been claiming Silver-towne an Provident have the best deals for some time, Provident in particular even though they seem to have trouble keeping the hot items in stock, but then they all do sometimes on certain items eh....

I noticed those Silver-towne Five oz old pours were listing on bay at 200 to 250 six months ago, and you could get them shipped from Silver-towne at 160 total perhaps.....
I recall the late BF saying he did business with them for years and we all know he would not have ever got taken by anybody on a pm purchase, lol....

And I agree provident and silver towne are overall the best. Theres quite a few coins, even graded ones, you can get on silver towne for a good amount under what they sell on ebay if you wanted to put in the work to flip them. |

So...just a show of hands....who finds this useful enough for me to go for week two? I don't mind the effort as long as people are finding it useful.

I can't stomach buying right now with a very possible holiday pullback coming here real soon, so I can't say as to have putting it to use yet, but I am sure if it was up every week for an extended period of time, I would eventually line up with a purchase which coincides with the chart....

@unholyroller - I say heck yes! The matrix is incredibly useful! With one quick 30 second scan, I can assess exactly who has the best bang for the buck on the bullion coins and bars I'm most interested in stacking. Thank you for sharing this great information!
