Interest in precious metals continues to spread far and wide as the turmoil in the economy begins to take hold. New investors often have a lot of uncertainty when first learning about precious metals and dealer premiums can raise questions for some.
Many new investors discovered precious metals through spot price deals that were once promoted by numerous dealers prior to the start of the pandemic. Those offers allowed precious metals buyers the chance to buy silver with no dealer markup.
Mining shutdowns, supply chain issue and strong investor demand for silver put an temporary end to those offers until recently.
SD Bullion was the first online bullion dealer to return with a silver at spot price deal earlier this year. New investors can buy one 5 oz silver bar at spot price.
JM Bullion has recently returned with a special offer for those interested in gold.
The Gold Starter Kit from JM Bullion is now available and offers new investors the opportunity to buy a 1 oz gold bar at spot price.
Gold is long considered one of the best investment options when looking for a long term store of value to be a hedge against inflation.
Owning physical gold and silver are one of the few asset options that has no counter-party risk.
