I did notice that the local guy I have historically dealt with @ $1.50-$2 over spot is now a solid $4 over--plus service fee.

For those of you considering gold and silver in "investment quantities" (Tens of $K worth or more, not buying a handful of rounds or coins from a storefront dealer), remember the tax situation. Unlike stocks that enjoy long term capital gains benefits, precious metals are "collectibles" and all gains are taxed as ordinary income. Sure, you may sell a few ounces to Ziggy off the books, buy try that with $50K of your metals portfolio when it's time to cash in and you're dancing with a felony.
He bought high and is trying to recoup some of his loss, it's to be expected if the dealer thinks things are going to stay low for a while.
What is the service fee for? For selling you something?

EXCELLENT! That's really, really good. Best I found prior to this latest increase was $16.90 per $1 face--still a buy IMOIf you keep your eyes open you can still get some deals. I picked up $300 face value 90% for $700 about $15.50 per $1 of face.
What's a good source for buying gold or silver coins or bullion that ships to you? Are there any that accept credit or debit cards? Is there a local source (I live in Andover)?

I had that happen one time. I kinda laughed too as I was carrying.boston bullion in burlington.
cash and carry, no questions asked. but i think they accept all forms of payment.
they will even offer an armed escort back to your car....that makes me every time.
My opinion on the whole mess -PM's will be like ammo. Plenty on the shelves today, but one black swan event and they'll be empty the next. Best to have a small amount as insurance.

only way to know is to call. you need to make an appointment to buy there.

As far as selection, my experience with them has shown they are more a melt value shop than a collectors shop. That doesn't mean they don't HAVE collectibles, but I wouldn't say it's their main focus
