In Reply to: Buying Silver? posted by DaninKansas on February 25, 2014 at 08:09:20:
There is an outfit in New Orleans by the name of Blanchards. I have delt with them probably 8 or 10 times, starting in 1993.
I think all metals are too high now.
I bought silver in the mid 90's for less than $6 an ounce.
Gold for $567 an ounce, and platinum for $400 an ounce.
I haven't sold any silver. I sold the one ounce I had of platinum for $900 back in about 2004. And I have recently sold gold ounces for $1,000 and $1,300 an ounce.
When you order from Blanchards, you talk to a person, agree on a price, then complete the money transaction. They mail the physical gold to you by insured mail. If you want to sell back to them, you just reverse the process. Although they do have to have the coins in their hands before they send you the money.
They are 100% legit. I dont trust a lot of the places advertising on TV.
I have also bought "numisnatic" coins. The St. Gaudens $20 gold pieces, and Peace dollars (silver) or Walking Liberty (silver). They are sealed in plastic and graded by one of two coin grading service. But you need to do your research. There is a ton of difference in value between say a MS-63 and an MS-65 coin. It depends on the quality, sheen and sharpness of the impressions on the coins surface. Mint state 65's are too expensive for my blood. The value of these coins are based on collectors value and rarity. A $20 St Gaudens gold piece is shy of an ounce by weight.
I have also bought Canadian Maple leaves, gold and silver and they are a real pretty coin. And I think just a tad higher in purity than the American Eagles.
One good thing about gold and silver. When I went though my divorce, they didn't show up on any bank statement.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
