re: funny how ...- 4 frank1943 Yellowfinger. Bullion dealers have it. I prefer the Perth Mint. They have been very easy to deal with. I hold a small parcel of silver bars with the rest as Perth Mint Certificates.

I bought the bars as a core holding and a deterrent to selling quickly, though it is not difficult to do. It is just that, by nature, I am easy to panic and need something to slow me down.

The certificates allow for a bit of trading. It is just a matter of phoning the Perth Mint, quoting the Certificate Number and they will give you a firm price on the spot. The certificates are then sent over with a covering letter and sample signature(s) and the cheque will be in the mail. Or you can elect a transfer to your bank account. Very simple procedure.

Naturally, the actual bars and certificates must be held in a safe place. A private box in the bank vault is the easiest solution.
