NTR metals

[StreetsOfGold]

I've occasionally seen a dismissive attitude towards this particular brand of metal

NTR

What's the scoop? Are these bad in some way or inferior? If anyone has some insight, please advise.

There are bullion snobs.

Just like people that need designer shoes.

.999 pure all spends the same, some just relish premiums

Right on.


I Will add however that NTR's have no SN.

and they aren't very pretty IMO.

That doesn't stop me for picking them up though.

just for the record, i do find it kind of funny that ntr metals is becoming the inside joke of gs-us :D

[undgrd]

Didn't they have a REALLY long wait time about 2 years ago? Months?? Wasn't that the turnoff?

[chad]

i remember bullion direct was sending out ntr from the pool, and yeah, it was taking 2 or 3 months. i actually never ordered from bullion direct ever again because of it. i eventually got it, but they wouldn't return emails, phone calls, etc. i was totally convinced i wasn't ever going to get my order. i remember a bunch of people on gim bolting from bullion direct over it.

The NTR Metals mint utilizes only the finest precious metals from our Commercial Refining Division to create pure bullion products.
2090
Once the gold is obtained, the next step for gold fleecers is to cash it in by selling it to melters. Many take their stash to NTR Metals. The company has 32 locations in the United States. A buyer dumps off a load of jewelry or other items, which are soon turned into hot soup.

2089
A glass pipette gets inserted into the soup, and the mix is analyzed for the percentages of gold, silver, and other metals. NTR then cuts a check for 98 percent of the day's spot price for the weight of the metals.

2091
NTR prefers to operate as a wholesale business, which prevents the public from getting that same 98 percent.
