Question
Hi,

Can you tell me a good online source for buying gold and silver
coins.  I was using Tulving occasionally but they are not shipping
bullion due to an illness of the principal.

Also, it makes sense to me to just buy Krugerands if they keep
running less for same amount of gold as some of the more
expensive coins.  Am I missing anything here?

Thank you very much,
rb

Answer
Hi Rodger,
Krugerrands are the way to go if all you want is bullion at the lowest price.  Granted, you will get less when you sell, but worry about that later.
Tulving was the cheapest that I knew of.  I don't know how he did it, often he sold below wholesale.
If you are buying quantity, I can probably help you but my minimum order is 25 oz.  If you want to call me, 800-474-6960
As for smaller quantities, I guess you will just have to hunt around.  There's not a lot of $ in it for dealers.  Our main business is rare coins.  They have metal content and are also collectibles.  Kind of a 2 edged sword.
We design portfolios, so if you want, call me
