If silver and gold are liquid assets why are they so hard to sell without people offering you half of melt for them?
Checkmate nocoiners.

actually you can sell them just under spot any time. if you want more you have to sell them to a private buyer.

I buy only physical from Sharps Pixley in London. If you're buying their premium is 2% over spot.
If you're selling, they will buy off you at 1% under spot.
It's not hard at all.
Depends what you are buying you clot
Coins are incredibly easy to trade/sell to anyone
Bars, not so much.
Been buying gold mine stock lately myself. Anyone know any problems with this?
>tfw got meme'd on and bought unbranded gold

where do you live? most cities would have a dealer worth its salt to the degree of testing the purity and giving you fair price. gold is gold

think of it this way: people will make fakes of "well known brand" gold bar.
a brand does not in itself constitute "authenticity"...I just feel there should be a way for a potential buyer/dealer to guarantee the purity
if you were a bullion dealer, this would be one of the first problems to solve. how to "confirm" purity of what you buy/sell. the technology is out there

I understand what brands are for. It just sucks that I thought I was getting a good deal when I bought .999 gold for spot when in fact I wasn't.

its either gold or its not. if its real gold then the deal you got was fine. just takes some work finding someone with the ability to verify it
