Amagi Metals has gone AWOL so I would definitely not recommend them. They aren't accepting bitcoins for payment anyway and haven't for months. Their presence has been absent from the bitcointalk community for months as well.

I agree with this statement on Amagi... I have used them for nearly 5 years and have just recently stopped. Communications with their employees have shown that even they are distancing themselves from Amagi. There is no crypto accepting precious metals dealer I would recommend at the moment.

I would advise you to use gyft.com to get an eBay gift card and then purchase your gold on eBay. That is the only method I would trust currently.

have you used provident metals?

They are a large and highly reputable online (but based in the us) pm dealer. I have used them before, just havent paid with btc yet. They give a 3% discount off the "list price" when paying with btc, but a 4% when paying with cash/check.

I have used provident metals and paid with BTC before. It was just as easy as dealing with cash or charge in any other store. There is never an issue with their orders and if you ever need to contract their customer service, they are very friendly and like to help.
