Good Product, Nutjob Company

Reviewed by David | April 11, 2016

I recently ordered a 1 ounce silver bar from them for some metal work; previously I had ordered 2 lbs copper bars for making bronze. Both times I found the prices ok and I had no problem with service from order to receipt, although the shipping time in both instances seemed to run long. I would warn, however, that, based on the magnets they ship with their orders and phrases on their product videos such as "when you are preparing for the coming barter system", they at a minimum cater to a population cross section of nutjob end-of-the-world preppers. I'll probably order from them again unless I find better prices and they prepper nonsense is good to share for a laugh, but if you don't want your money supporting that type of thing I would recommend going elsewhere.

Seriously? They are very low key about the survival stuff. I guess you've never been to SD Bullion.com. They actually sell Survival Food there. Trust me, you don't know anything about the bullion buying community, as preppers/stock market bears are a huge part of it.

By the way, you don't want to use bars for metalwork, they cost more than just buying silver shot and silver shot is much easier to melt without issues.
