(The best deal on bullion for private investors anywhere!)
When selling gold, silver and platinum bullion I charge just 3.5% over the
wholesale buy price that I have to pay to fulfill your order.
You pay only the actual cost of shipping and insurance. After writing the
Silver & Gold Report for several years and surveying
dealer prices I can tell you -- this is a great deal. Keep in mind that I
can afford to work very cheap, since this is not my principal business but
a service which I happily provide to my newsletter subscribers and numismatic
clients.
When selling gold, silver, and platinum I'll pay you 3.5% less than the
high dealer wholesale that I can get on the open market. Again, it's a paper-thin
profit.
When buying from me I require payment by wire. Cashiers and personal checks
MUST clear, and may take up to 30 business days. You can't imagine how many
elaborate frauds have burned bullion dealers in the last 30 years. Everything
from phony bank checks to genuine checks doctored so they fool even the bank
of issue. I accept no credit cards on bullion or semi-numismatic sales. If
you have to buy these assets on a credit card, you shouldn't buy them.
Prices are locked in on receipt of good funds when buying from me, and on
the delivery of your bullion when selling to me.
Scratched bars and coins sell at a 3-5% discount. So you must make sure
you keep the gold coins I sell you safe, and in the holders that I send them
in. If you sell items, coins, or bars that have scratches expect a discount.
There is no return privilege with bullion coins or bars. The price of gold,
silver and platinum fluctuates quickly and my margin is extremely tight. Here
are the bullion bars and coins I recommend and handle:

| It's considered by
many expert numismatists as the most beautiful gold coin ever struck
by the United States Mint. Designed by world renowned turn of the
century sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens. Known as a "Saint Gaudens
$20" this series was minted originally by the United States from
1907-1933. In 1986 the United States re-introduced the design when
it launched its own bullion coin program -- The American Eagle Program.
The American Eagle comes in four sizes, 1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz. and
1/10 oz. The American Eagles have become the world's most widely traded
gold bullion coins. The obverse displays the original $20 Saint Gauden's
design, the reverse depicts a nest of American Eagles signifying the
strength and security of American families. These are the only gold
coins whose quality and purity are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
And by law, only gold mined in The United States is used in the minting
of American Gold Eagles. |

| The Royal Canadian Mint is known throughout the world
for its impeccable standards of quality and purity in all its products.
Because of its fine gold purity (.9999+), its flawless quality, and
its appealing design, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf in particular,
first minted in 1979, has become one of most preferred bullion coins
for investors around the world. The Royal Canadian Mints insistence
upon flawless planchets i.e. the pure gold blanks from which coins
are struck means that literally every Canadian Maple Leaf Coin that
you buy will be impeccable. |

| South Africa is the number one gold producing
country in the world and the Krugerrand is the most widely owned bullion
coin in the world with over 46 million ounces in circulation since
its inception in 1967. It features the symbol of South Africa, the
lithe and graceful Springbok Antelope, on the reverse side. The obverse
of the Krugerrand features Paul Kruger, the last president of the
Republic of South Africa. The South African Krugerrand was the first
modern government-issued gold bullion coin. Its marketing campaigns
during the 1970's and 1980's paved the way for its popularity among
the gold bullion coins of today. |

bullion bars that I recommend, they're universally accepted around

trustworthiness. Their quality, purity, and liquidity are never questioned.

number, which is exclusive to you. JM Gold Bars are available in 1
ounce, 5 ounce, 10 ounce, 100 ounce, 1000 ounce or1/2 or 1-kilo bars.

| The American Platinum Eagle coin was first minted in
1997, and only official investment-grade platinum coin from the U.S.
Mint. They are the only platinum coin or bar that I will sell. All
American Eagles are legal tender coins with their "face value"
imprinted in U.S. dollars but the one-ounce Platinum Eagle coin displays
the highest face value ever to appear on a U.S. coin -- $100 dollars.
This coin is extremely popular with investors and collectors who find
the coin's beauty and the purity guarantee of the U.S. Mint irresistible.
The obverse depicts the head of America's symbol of freedom, the Statue
of Liberty and the reverse shows an American Eagle soaring high above
the earth. |

| Since its introduction in 1986, over 70 million American
Silver Eagles have been sold by the U.S. Mint. Silver Eagles have
become by a wide margin the most popular bullion coin in the world.
The design is based on the famous "Walking Liberty" of Adolph
Weinman's 1916 U.S. half-dollar, widely considered to be one of the
most beautiful silver coins ever minted. Every Silver Eagle is a meticulously
crafted work of art, produced to the exacting standards of The United
States Mint. By law, all U.S. Silver Eagle bullion coins are struck
only from silver mined in the United States. I like that feature very
much, especially, in times like these. |

| I'll sell both Johnson Matthey and Engelhard
100 ounce bars. You can buy either with absolute confidence. They
trade at the same price premium and are traded by dealers all over
the world.
Johnson Matthey and Engelhard are the two best names in the precious
metals market and have both built a reputation for producing purity
and quality in bullion bars.
Johnson Matthey and Engelhard stamp each bar with the exact purity
of the contained silver. One hundred ounce bars of Johnson Matthey
and or Engelhard silver bars are an excellent way to invest in pure
silver while avoiding the premiums usually found on legal tender bullion
coins.

As Gold Investments
If you're taking a position in gold bullion, I strongly recommend
buying some Choice Uncirculated and Gem Uncirculated Saint Gaudens $20
Gold Coins dated 1907-1933. You can buy independently graded Choice
Uncirculated MS-64 Coins for just $1100 and Gem Uncirculated MS65

available for $3250.
I'm trying to keep MS64, MS65 and MS66 Saint Gaudens in inventory but
it is very hard so my prices are subject to market change with out
notice and my supplies of these coins are very limited.
