What if I want to invest in gold, silver, platinum, or palladium but I don't want to take physical possession of my investments?

 

If you want to invest in gold, silver, platinuum, or palladium but do not want to take physical possession, you should consider electronically traded shares of gold through a stock broker. Keep in mind, with electronic transactions, there is no guarentee that every ounce is gold purchased is physically backed by an ounce of gold. Furthermore, you are subjecting yourself to an intermediary in control of your assets.

 

Any time you decide not to take physical possession of your investments, protect yourself and make sure:

 

each ounce purchased on paper is backed by an ounce in a secure, 100% insured location

you may make physical inspection of the site any time you wish

 

 

 

Where can I find current spot prices?

 

A great resource for current spot prices is thebulliondesk.com. You'll also find interesting articles and regularupdates on market trends.

 

 

How do I make a purchase?

 

All prices are based on current, up-to-the-minute market values so quote are provided via telephone. All quotes are simply indications until you receive a finalized order number. Upon receipt of that order number, your price is locked, even with a change in the market. You'll be asked to send an overnighted payment. (Credit cards are not accepted because the processing rates keep us from keeping our prices competitive.)

 

Upon receipt of your payment, we ship your coins directly to you via registered United States Postal Service. All shipments are fully insured and require a signature upon delivery. Tracking numbers are provided to each investor immediately upon sending.

 

A $35.00 flat rate shipping charge applies to all orders.

 

 

How do I sell my bullion?

 

When selling, the same process applies, in reverse. Prices are quoted over the phone with no obligation until you are given an order number, which locks in your price.

 

Once your shipment is received, a payment to you is mailed. The value of collectible coins can vary due to the coins' condition so when coins have not been independantly graded by either the PCGS or NGC, we need to examine them to determine their value before payment can be made.

 

 

What are the premiums?

 

Premiums can be as low as 1-2% over spot when purchasing through Liberty Metals Exchange and as much as 1-2% when selling to us. Because the market changes regularly, premiums can vary. Also, different types of bullions have varying premiums. Please call to discuss the benefits of other types of bullion.
