Bilderburger,

I second the recommendation for Tulving, they are reliable and premium over spot is in-line with the market. Please be aware that if you want to buy from Tulving, know what you want before you call (look at his website.) Hans Tulving is the 'soup-nazi' of precious metals. He is not interested in discussing the market, trends in precious metal prices, your children, etc...

I have dealt with APMEX for several tranacations and they are reliable. Also, I purchased from Gainsville coin, they too are reliable.

Be aware that the dealers all know how hard it is to get physical gold/silver. Their cost to buy has increased from the wholesaler and they too are charging a higher premium over spot. It is all a matter of supply and demand, when the supply is low the price should go up. But, it was pointed out that the markets are manipulating the price with 'paper-gold' to keep it artifically low. If you are in the market to sell gold bullion, you should receive something halfway between spot and the dealrs current selling price.

I had one experience that was not so good with California Numesmatics Inc. My order was 'lost' for about a week then I was told it would ship on a Wed. but it did not ship until the following Tues. Incorrect information is unacceptable when dealing with peoples money. I will avoid CNI for future transactions.

Peace
