My own gold and silver coins are in a secure safe and bolted to the concrete base of the house where I stay. Sometimes if I had a gold collector coin, I could bargain them down to $20 or $30 below spot. The first thing I saw on the APMEX site to sell gold back to them was this message:Due to record volume we currently have a $20,000 minimum on buy back orders. Gold, silver, and platinum continue to set record highs, hitting levels many of us could not have imagined in such a short period of time. Everyone seems to be in pure euphoria right now thinking that as the price of gold keeps going up, they are going to be rich.
