Where to get silver and gold?

[14all]

Hello avalonians,
This is my first post, I have been overwhelmed by how much info is here and havn't gotten to posting much yet. Anyways, thanks to all just for engaging this...I have been a hardcore Camelot fan since I discovered it, and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one.

I have read much of the threads about gold and silver (and doing my own research), and now does seem to be the time to get precious metals if one can afford it and hasn't done so already. I havn't seen any good suggestions of what dealers are out there that can provide it though. The coin shops in my town don't have any and can't even put in orders because the demand is so high and the supply so little, or so they say. The metals market is scary to someone like me who has just been de-virginized to it, and I don't want to get scammed or wait 2 months for a delivery. I am personally looking for junk silver and/or 1 oz. rounds from a good source...can anybody that knows more about this point me in a good direction?

I have some money that was given to me by a family member through inheritance, and it is just sitting in a credit union right now, which my Dad and most would assure me is insured by the National Credit Union Administration, but I still want to get silver--does anyone think this is a bad idea, caus most of what I've seen people are urging others to get precious metals while we still can. And what about the possibility of confiscation?--I have heard that they can do this with gold but not silver, but I don't get how they could take away peoples physical money at all. Can they? How do you know, and avoid this if true?

Any help/advice as to who I can trust with buying silver--American Eagles, Kennedy halfs, junk...I don't really know, what should I be looking for in my situation--at a good price is greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm in Oregon, so any Oregonians that want to connect are more than welcomed to message me or post. I am a college student who is basically alone (besides all of you wonderful people) and overwhelmed in trying to figure all these crazy happenings out and what I can do to prepare myself, so thanks again to anyone who replies with helpful/encouraging info. I don't really have anyone to talk to about this type of stuff, so I feel this forum will be a good outlet for me in the future, but I'm knowingly relying on all of you for guidance. Let the postings begin!!--for me! Just this 1st post is liberating for me in a strange way.

ps-I hope we get something more from George Green soon, I really value what he has to say and think that he is more right than any of us realize yet...where are you George? I wish he was on the forum.
