Buying Gold & Silver Coins On eBay ?
Although I have purchased many silver and gold coins through ebay,
their are faster, safer and easier ways to do it without getting ripped
off ..
I would recommend sticking to American Eagles, Canadian
Maple Leaf bullion coins or coins that have been certified by NGC ,PCGS
or ANACS preferably.
When buying Silver & Gold coins "sight
unseen" the ONLY way to mitigate risk is with certified numismatic coins
+ making SURE that you check the coins certification number and clarify
with the seller that the COIN in the PHOTO is the one you will receive.
Bullion
or raw/ungraded coins are a suckers game on eBay-anything could be a
slug, even certified coins can be tampered with. Check the sellers
feedback rating, anything less than 100% and I would move on ...
Do Not Fall into the hype that BULLION is the only way to go-That's bullshit and the guys espousing that crap KNOW IT!
Just
take a look at the "Closed Sales" on eBay for certified coins- They
Sell like hot-cakes! Make sure you look at the closed sales on MS70
coins ..
Do the research .. Don't take my word for it and
especially not from some perfect hair-Wall Street types, selling books,
driving Tesla Roadsters & tooling around in their yachts
They want to scare you into buying , don't fall for it .. end of rant
Like I said, I have used eBay to buy gold & silver and I continue to do so on occasion.
I just don't feel comfortable recommending eBay to novice gold & silver coin buyers.
Since
I originally posted this video, eBay has tightened up standards
dramatically when it comes to what kind of certified coins you can sell
on their site and made big steps to eliminate all the riff-raff.
