Last week I was going to buy some silver bullion. I knew of Kitco so I signed up and in checkout learned that they would not ship to a shipping address NOT associate with your credit card. I'm not going to have some UPS driver toss a package up on my porch for a local methhead to grab, A personal check took 7-9 days after it gets there to clear. No problem, I figured, I'll use the assholes at Paypal. I tried twice and both times it did not go through. I might retry with the CC and say fuck it, if a methhead gets it tough shit, it's their issue, but it's likely they'll make me sign and I'm not home on a regular schedule so fuck that. Send the shit to my office.

Anyway, on another thread someone mentioned JM Bullion, so I (((did))) and it hit me that I really should look into ownership by asking you all what you found works for you. It's already gone up as Reddit is going to make it a thing and I don't want to pay $40 next week when it can be had for $26, now $28 an ounce now.

Apmex is legit. Ebay don't buy from someone without reviews. I guess there isn't a good way to spot counterfeit silver easily at a store or even at home.

You need a testing kit. You can get that at Ebay.

That would only test that it was silverplated though.

Cut it in half and shave off the corners of the newly cut edge to remove any possibly plating from the spot where you're testing.You'll get at the core with minimal loss of silver, and of course you don't need to test all of it.
