Serious investors should work with a dealer that buys and sells the same coins they handle. Many dealers only want to sell coins and may refer you to an auction company as a way of liquidating your holdings. This can be common practice for dealers of very rare coins, but not for those dealing with bullion or generic ones. The latter may be an indication they are charging too high a premium for their coins. You can deal confidently withBarkley Rarities. Since our inception we have serviced our clients throughout the US with our extensive inventory in rare coins and bullion.
Buying gold/silver from Local Dealers: Local dealers are one of the most trusted sources for gold/silver coins. Many investors prefer the experience of working with a local business and walking out with their gold/silver in hand. At Barkley Rarities we will always be happy to meet you in the privacy of your own home or office to bring a positive experience to your doorstep.
Buying gold/silver over the Phone: Most of the gold/silver coins being sold today are transacted over the telephone with National dealers. Premiums are low and the gold/silver is generally in the form of newly minted coins. Payment should be in the form of a bank wire or overnight check. Delivery usually occurs after funds have cleared. Barkley Rarities offers the same convenient over-the-counter type service to all of our clients throughout the US. Once you lock in the price and pay for your gold/silver, we will have it delivered safely to your home or office in a few days.
Buying gold/silver over the Internet: Gold/silver can also be purchased online using a credit card, but only in limited quantities and usually at a higher premium.
Buying gold/silver from TV Shows: Here your choices are limited when buying gold/silver from one of the TV shopping channels. They can only offer what they have on hand at the time, and they usually charge a higher premium for gold/silver.
Buying from Trade Shows: Most Trade shows can be frustrating for individuals who are new to the market. Many dealers avoid handling bullion coins at these shows due to the low premiums associated with bullion coins and bars.
Buying from Jewelers: Jewelers are not specialists in gold/silver coins and would not be a reliable or consistent source for gold/silver.
Buying fromAuctions: Auction companies will sometimes offer gold/silver coins at one of their public sales. However this is not a good way to accumulate gold/silver as the buyers fee can be much higher than the premium charged by a more traditional gold/silver dealer.
