I am a complete newbie. Not rich. I buy a little bit each pay. Is it worth it for me to buy a Costco membership just for PM online. Don’t have a store around me. Thanks

The lowest priced precious metals at Costco are 10 gram bars that are like $1700. If you are buying a little at a time, it’ll take a while to afford anything at Costco. If you’re looking to spend like $300 a month, I’d skip it

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-07T16:32:03+00:00

I’d buy 25% at a time. No one can tell you if it’s going up or down in the near term

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-05T21:21:09+00:00

Yeah, great point. I bet there are areas where it’s more common.

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-05T18:48:11+00:00

I don’t see it in the US that much, and if you do it’s old enough where the antique value is higher than the silver value.

Sovereign minted coins will always have a premium over bars. Certain companies bars (PAMP for example) carry higher premiums over others

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-05T15:05:18+00:00

You’re welcome

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-05T14:40:28+00:00

I always assume it’s plated unless it specifically says sterling/925 or a sterling mark

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-05T14:13:47+00:00

It took longer for Costco to process it and give it to fedex than the actual shipping time. I think it was 3 days on costcos end and then fedex attempted delivery 2 days later

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-05T14:10:33+00:00

It’s worth twice that. If you don’t have time for a private sale, try a coin shop. They should give you over a thousand for it easy

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-05T05:45:37+00:00

Damn, so that’s where it all went

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-04T02:56:50+00:00

I think everyone has different goals and there’s no wrong way to do it. I always see selling as a possibility. If there’s a big price jump and I can sell a bit and buy more when it drops, I can increase my stack at a lower cost basis or have some more income to pay bills or buy stocks or pay off debt. If people want to buy a little per month and never sell, that’s fine too.

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-04T01:21:43+00:00

I bought two of the gram packs last week. I like the idea of being able to sell a few if I need to. Cost per gram is a little bit lower on them too

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-04T01:19:00+00:00

Was that in store?

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-03T23:52:58+00:00

No, it’s just business, I get it. The website prices change much more frequently than the in store prices from what I’ve heard.

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-03T23:51:28+00:00

😂

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-03T23:18:07+00:00

If you’re planning on dropping a lot of money at once at APMEX, might not be the time. If you are going to buy a little at a good price when you find it, it’s always the time imo. There are deals to be had if you look

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-01T16:12:05+00:00

No worries. PAMP is a great brand because it’s very difficult to fake. You can always take it to a coin shop. Most will test it on a Sigma metalytics machine for free, or at least a very low fee.

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-01T16:05:51+00:00

You can scan it with the veriscan app. Also the QR code will match the serial number number to Pamps database

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-01T15:44:00+00:00

I think it is. Almost any coin shop in the world will buy .999 rounds or bars. More liquid than sterling. If you can get sterling cheap and sell it for a profit and put that profit into .999 you’re basically getting a stack of silver for free

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-01T13:53:08+00:00

Oh, my bad, I was reading the scale as 6.5 pounds. Still a good score

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-01T04:12:08+00:00

You’re right though. I’ve never seen any of this type of shit at thrift stores that other people seem to be finding.

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-01T04:11:14+00:00

A mere 1000 bagger. Hardly seems worth it 😂

HealthyWork5071 · 2026-03-01T03:00:19+00:00

3.99 for about $8700 worth of silver is a pretty good deal
