Time to go to your local coin shop or else deal with another Canadian online dealer. Canadian CCF'ers have talked about their favorite Canadian dealers
in recent threads here. Doing some research reading here should give you the names you need.

Thanks Freddy, there are no local coins shop's here.. the only thing we have are 2 pawn shops..
Yes, I have seen some of the sites mentioned where to buy, I just may have to do just that.
I was just curious to see what it would cost, and all I can say is wow...LOL

I have a scotiamocatta account. Alot of fees are saved if you pick them up in Toronto and if you buy in bulk
Try
Www.preciousmetalhouse.com
Www.silvergoldbull.com
Www.kitco.com. If you plan on buying $2500 and up

Buying one coin at a time will always have horrendous shipping charges. When you save up and buy in larger quantities the shipping cost per coin drops radically, but it's still always
a PITA. When I do a $1K online buy, the shipping is still around 40 cents per ounce. I dislike like that, but it's the way things are and it's nowhere near as bad as $66 for a $35 item.
Best of luck with your quandry. Is a monthly Saturday day trip to a local coin shop an option for you?

@Fat Freddy... I am actually searching my area for coins shops close(1 hour drive min)..In Canada or USA..Border city.. Still researching..
I'm really thinking of unloading some of my other collectibles and then turning them into bullion..i have some work ahead of me...But that is the fun of starting a new hobby..
Thanks for the help..

I am on a boarder also, I have a US PO box
saves a ton on shipping and I can deal with US dealers
You can bring over .999 bullion as it is tax exempt

I can get things shipped to a warehouse in the USA, and all I pay is $4 US for each package.. So that may be an option.. Thanks swtbxxx..

What website was this from? I sometimes use CandianPMX.com. They have some very nice coins at reasonable prices.

colonial acres, charges 6.50 shipping on orders over 100$, and 8$ for orders under 100$, would be worth a look if you were only buying a couple of ounces..
