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 twice to buy silver with bitcoins (bitcoin faucet earnings) and it has been a smooth transaction for me.
