Ebay is quite safe for buying. As long as you're buying from a reputable silver/gold dealer, you're fine. Just don't buy from a private person. As for the reputable companies, you'll know because 1) They have a website besides ebay where that's all they sell; and 2) They have a lot of feedback.
But my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION is to go to your LOCAL COIN SHOP. Everybody has one not too far away. You probably don't even know there's one nearby. Just google for silver gold coin shop. Anyway; you'll do much better there. You'll probably get one for between $20-$25. And if we're talking about CURRENT CADETS who are getting ready to graduate; well, Colorado Springs has a LOT of COIN SHOPS. Click on this link and it lists 7 coin shops in Colorado Springs. (But there's more)

To assist: The following are all reputable Ebay selling companies. They are regular legit companies who happen to also sell on ebay. I recommend buying on ebay instead of their website, because they usually offer free shipping if on ebay. Plus, if you use PayPal, your order is protected against any type of dispute or fraud. Paypal will have your back. The following are all legit.
APMEX (The MOST RECOGNIZED DEALER) A little higher in price; around $30-$35. But that's what you pay for, for the largest and most legitimate company.
