buying online is fine. All dealers charge a premium above spot. You want the lowest premiums. Add in shipping, insurance to get the price/ ounce. Some products, like gold and silver eagles carry higher premiums. You will get that premium back if you sell. I usually just go for the lowest premiums on "rounds". Try going to a coin shop or jewelry store in your nearest town and establishing a relationship with a dealer. Don't go for numismatic coins. You just want the most metal for the least price. Buying local gives you invisibility, no paper trail. We have been so fortunate that the price of pm's has been down here at these levels where they are now. I don't believe they will stay here much longer. Silver is in a nice breakout right now. Get stacking.

how much do you guys feel is safe to put in at a time? without getting looked at? Are there any other ways to use cash for paying bills.. ie mortgage?

Bank of America just banned cash for paying car loans, mortgage payments, credit cards.

banks are trying to outlaw storing cash in safety deposit boxes also.. beware they can also steal from them if they believe its been gained by way of crime.

cash in safety deposit boxes has been prohibited for many years
at least, i remember a BOA attendant mentioning to me cash could not be placed in the box
that was 15 years ago
the enslavement isn't all that new, they just like to 'improve' it from time to time

Is it true that dealers don't have to report sale of American Gold Eagles, but must report to the government about the sale of foreign 1 oz gold coins (Mapleleafs, Krugerands, etc)?
