 I believe APMEX has a good reputation. Wait for more opinions. I haven't bought a lot of gold.  |

I got the gold LSQ today. Now that is a coin! It is .25% gold and comes in a nice case. Most of the existing LSQ's are in such bad condition it is awesome just to see what one in perfect condition would have looked like. I think this gold coin that sells for less than $500 will be a hit. One per household. The other gold coins you can get on ebay. |

To CCF I have used APMEX and Provident mint with no problems. If you buy a slabbed coin from a good seller, ebay can be okay too. If you get a slabbed coin, PCGS or NGC would be your best ... or only ones you should choose. I also would consider getting a 1oz gold buffalo, at least check them out. Both gold eagle and gold buffalo are U.S. Mint coins. |

First, welcome to our great forum and community we have here! Secondly, I have a few thoughts- I own both gold bullion and proof eagles. While I like both coins, I prefer the elegant and majestic presentation that you get when you buy the proof 1 oz eagle coin. Just love the proof finish and the whole presentation the US Mint does. Granted, I did grow tired of eagles but they are a beauty in their own right. So again, take a look at the proof. My second thought is you might be able to get a MS69 or PF69 coin, such as an 1 oz type, for a fair price from an auction off of ebay. I would suggest looking at MCM when they run their auctions. Many times the auctions go a tad lower than the Buy It Now price. Finally, again, you can purchase directly from the US Mint a gold proof or uncirculated 1 oz eagle. hope that helps, this is a great time period to be buying gold coins. |

The APMEX price today for the gold buffalo bullion coin is only $1 more than JM ($1408 vs. $1407), whereas Provident is at $1399 (all are cash prices). When you look at CC prices, they are at $1467, $1466, & $1457. APMEX & Provident also list buy prices of $1353 & $1354 (but those prices are usually for large buys). JM offers free shipping on all orders, APMEX & Provident offer it on orders of $100 or more. All prices are likely to follow spot, which is at $1340 as I write this. The proof buffalo from the mint is at $1690 today (plus at least $4.95 shipping) Edited by clairhardesty

You have to ask yourself if you want proofs or bullion? I dealt with JM Bullion and Provident. Both process orders very quickly, but I prefer Provident because I can use an e-check and get the cash price. |
