Buying Gold & Silver Coins On eBay ?

Although I have purchased many silver and gold coins through ebay, their are faster, safer and easier ways to do it without getting ripped off ..

I would recommend sticking to American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coins or coins that have been certified by NGC ,PCGS or ANACS preferably.

When buying Silver & Gold coins "sight unseen" the ONLY way to mitigate risk is with certified numismatic coins + making SURE that you check the coins certification number and clarify with the seller that the COIN in the PHOTO is the one you will receive.

Bullion or raw/ungraded coins are a suckers game on eBay-anything could be a slug, even certified coins can be tampered with. Check the sellers feedback rating, anything less than 100% and I would move on ...

Do Not Fall into the hype that BULLION is the only way to go-That's bullshit and the guys espousing that crap KNOW IT!

Just take a look at the "Closed Sales" on eBay for certified coins- They Sell like hot-cakes! Make sure you look at the closed sales on MS70 coins ..

Do the research .. Don't take my word for it and especially not from some perfect hair-Wall Street types, selling books, driving Tesla Roadsters & tooling around in their yachts
They want to scare you into buying , don't fall for it .. end of rant

Like I said, I have used eBay to buy gold & silver and I continue to do so on occasion.
I just don't feel comfortable recommending eBay to novice gold & silver coin buyers.

Since I originally posted this video, eBay has tightened up standards dramatically when it comes to what kind of certified coins you can sell on their site and made big steps to eliminate all the riff-raff.

Barclays : SILVER exhibited its weakest month in two years

Barclays Capital’s commodity strategists this morning predict more tough sailing for the price of gold. They’re just as bearish on silver.
From the note:

On silver:

On the industrial demand side, silver imports into China were the weak spot in April’s trade data and reaffirm our negative view on the metal. Imports were down 28% y/y at 172 tonnes, while exports were up 21.5% y/y at 85.7 tonnes, keeping China a net importer of the metal. Once again, the weakness in silver was across the board, from powder to jewellery; unwrought silver suffered the sharpest decline at 29% y/y, while powder imports were down 28% y/y. Given that investor appetite also remains soft, silver is set to remain significantly oversupplied.
A considerable amount of weakness stemmed from the ETP outflows, which had been relatively resilient compared with gold until May. While outflows were still weak for gold in May, silver exhibited its weakest month in two years with outflows tallying over 500 tonnes. May’s activity almost eliminates inflows for the year to date, but outflows over the past two months only make up 3% of total holdings. Silver coin sales, on the other hand, have been quite strong. The US Mint has reported sales exceeding 100 tonnes every month so far this year with June on track to surpass 100 tonnes


MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet
