Buying Gold and Silver? Starter Guide

Buying gold and silver can seem daunting. Where do I buy gold and silver? Am I getting the best price? Is this gold real? How much should I get? All valid questions and this buyer's guide attempts to cover these for you.

I stack gold and silver to hedge against our debt-fueled, fiat currency-based economy that I am convinced is in severe trouble. Consider stacking silver and gold yourself to help you build and preserve wealth. And thank you for watching Campbell’s Coins!

1987 Black Monday market crash had folks jumping out of windows on Wall Street. Amazingly, the market recovered and we did not descend into a Mad Max scenario.

Excellant advice! Even though ive been stacking for a few years now, its always good to revisit the basics. Thank you!

Sound advice, delivered without hype or drama. It’s refreshing to hear a calm, level-headed content creator sharing valuable knowledge.

Thanks, I just subscribed.

[serene]

i would add these to one's to avoid. Jm bullion. SD bullion, milesfranklin, Apmex. Hero, monument metals and Liberty are better with lower premium over spot

[TheMrdebro]

Solid advice, some things I’ve learned the hard way sometimes

[unitedstatesdale]

Another fantastic post.
Thanks Mr.Campbell !

Great advice! I'm fortunate, as my lcs beats online dealer prices every time. I get to inspect the coins before purchase. No shipping charges. No waiting for the mail. Sadly, I no longer trust USPS. So, if you have a good lcs, that's the way to go. Thanks for the video.

Something people don't want to hear - if 1oz of gold is not achievable then arguably gold is not for you - this isn't something that should be rushed and you should only be buying metals once you already have a cash cushion. The absolute min I would say was "ok" is half oz but the premiums quickly go north the smaller you go - save up the cash and when you have cash you don't need anytime soon buy an oz of gold. If you are young, get on the property ladder first, make sure you pension is being funded first - gold should be for any overflow. I think of 1 oz gold coins as a months living expenses for a single retired person assuming your house is paid off - not a bad pension supplement

This is the best video I've seen for someone who wants to start buying gold and silver.

I started during Covid with silver. I fell for the hype economy was going to crash Silver to barder. I started slow then got some tubes to keep the price down. Now I realize silver sucks, I wish I just went with gold. I could of got 1/4 oz gold for the price of a tube of silver. The gold I bought a year later has already become worth more than I paid the silver not so much. Don't fall for the silver is going to skyrocket crap. It will just drive you crazy. A few tubes are about all you need, save up and get gold the real keeper of wealth.

Liked and commented because all new (and experienced) stackers need the message in this video.

[richpederson]

Good advise, always nice to reevaluate your goals, or what you are really wanting to purchase.

[romanmichalek]

Sir, loved ur calm voice and great content, you are an inspiration to new stackers, myself a just simple, stacking in gold, silver, platinum, palladium, collecting (over spot) in coins... you only live once, whenever I get a new coin = smile, than store for my son.

I will say, Goldbacks are very expensive and no you should not be buying them for stacking purposes. What I bought them for is because they are quite literally just beautiful pieces of gold art. Now I definitely do not recommend buying a lot of them or trying to stack them but I do recommend buying a couple to keep as collectibles. Goldbacks are a nice idea but I don’t think we’re in that bad of shape yet to warrant their use.

[markgotschall]

I have heard that the economy was going to crash since the mid 1990's. Stay calm ond stack on. Meet my silver goal, leaning toward gold these days.

[jellybean]

Great information. Clear and helpful. Much appreciated!

[carlchilds]

Awesome video! Always your comments, advice and common sense when it comes to precious metals.

[romanmichalek]

Have rarely heard such a good advise, especially spending money on bs items, like you said, have a budget for a month to invest in, no matter how much, you will gain in the long-term, do not panic if your investment falls 20% in a day/month. Remember, long time and for all, not you but your children! My father, now deceased, started, i carry on for my son, never sold just added, many greetings from Switzerland,

The limitation on gold ownership in the United States was repealed after President Gerald Ford signed a bill legalizing private ownership of gold coins, bars, and certificates by an Act of Congress, codified in Pub. L. 93–373, which went into effect December 31, 1974.
