If I took one of my bars in to a coin shop to sell, and they wanted to drill in hole in my J/M serialized bar - I would give them a piece of my mind (loudly) and leave!\n\nyou should have NO problem selling them as long as they are a known refiner / assayer.\n\nAs far as the fees - thats a different matter.  I have only bought from a coin store, never sold to them.  Always sell to individuals - as they should atleast pay spot price (if price is in down trend) or more then spot if price is in uptrend.  I doubt a coin shop will pay over spot price, as they can get it AT spot price or just a tiny bit over, and thats thier worst case scenario.\n\nAnd along the same lines.  SHOP AROUND - can't stress that enough.  I found that coin shops in my area had very noticable price differences for the same thing - call each coin shop one morning, and ask for the price of a 10oz .999 silver bar.  Go visit the lowest 3 or 4 prices you get - (visit with empty pockets) just a get the feel of the place and see if you like who you'll be giving your money too.\n\nI should also say (since you asked), take it with you!  DO NOT pay for storage - its no good if you can't get to it when/if you need it.  Also, any fees over time will eat up some profit you will make if the price goes up, and it will add to the lose if the price goes down.\n\nIf its just an investment, buy in on a physical 'pool', like at kitco.com. Its about 1/3 the way down on this page:\nhttps://online.kitco.com/sellprice/selling.html  \nI only mention this as an option.  Personally, I would suggest getting physical if your interested in it.\n\nLast but not least - If you do decide to purchase some silver from a local coin shop - PAY IN CASH!!  No credit cards, no debit cards, no checks, no names, no nothing - just pay, say thanks and leave. \n\nGood luck!\n\nedited:\n"Nobody buys the actual metal as an investment anymore."\nNobody???  really???  Check E-bay - find a .999 silver "anything" that sells for less then spot price.  1000's of oz.'s per week are sold on E-bay at what I consider high prices, especially when you take shipping into consideration.

rub it with a coin,\nif its gold, a soft metal,\nit should make an indent.\n\nif it is flaky, its fools gold.\n\nand here's a real simple test,\nif they are selling them dirt cheap, they are prob fake.\n\ntoo, what are the chances that a man walked into a mine, picked up some gold ( I am sure that a gold mine is guarded) \nand then managed to get it out of the country, \nand after all that, wants to sell it to you?

Postal orders are the best way if you want the money asap. Cheques are ok if you want the money to go into your bank account and don't mind waiting a few days. I know what you mean when it's comes to paypal especially when selling something on ebay. You get charged by ebay for listing the item then you get charged again by ebay at the end of the month and then paypal charge you for using their services and then they charge you again if you transfer funds into a bank account. You don't seem to really gain anything using ebay or paypal.\n\nPostal Orders are the best bet. Just take them the post office and they will cash them for you.

Gold is one of the best investments for all times.\nBullion you can buy trough at least several companies.\nMake easy search for example "buy gold bullion" and choose for \nyourself.\nBut there is some inconviniences too  -there is a some hefty comission involved upon buy and sell.\nAlso you have to worry about keeping it at home or paying safe deposits fee in the bank.\nI thing one of the best way to own Gold is trough gold tracking stock -ticker is GLD- it tracks absolutely the price of gold.\nIf you wanna have some gold on your hand you can buy  some gold coin.

not through ebay, if that is your question.  when they ask you to send the money and they will wire you the money or whatever, you send it out to them before the bank realizes the money is no good and takes it out of your account so you have no money and no product.  i would be very careful.

There is a lot of bogus advice out there.  Does gold never lose value?  No, look at the chart below.  Is it a good hedge against inflation?  No, it was $850 back in 1980 and is worth less than that now, even without adjusting for inflation. After adjusting for inflation, it is worth less than half what it was worth in 1980.\nThere are many "experts" out there that claim gold will go up.  Other "experts"  claim it will go down.  The best writers I have read on the subject  admit that gold prices are horrendously difficult to predict, and recommend buying gold only for those that like to gamble.\nI did buy gold jewelry for my wife and she liked it.  I don't consider in an investment, though.
