Just curious. What years of ASEs did you guys get from Provident? On two separate occasions, I got all 2015.
I have done random year twice so far and got all 2016 and then all 2015. I have 3 tubes of random to go through. I'll post the results when I get a chance to go through them.
1.5% over with a -3% buy back. Pretty good spread. https://www.providentmetals.com/10-00-us-gold-commemorative-coin-our-choice.html?
Random year Buffalos, $10 over spot, brought to you by Bullion Exchange. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1828921168...y+Deals!&utm_source=2.27.2018+eBay&rmvSB=true
Got Three Tubes. Each one was the same date: 2014 (Pristine) 2012 (Pristine) 2003 (Milk spotty on a few and some scratches)
Random year 1 oz. Gold Eagles, $8 over spot. Limited quantities. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1627478582...9255-0%26rvr_id%3D1467102454223&ul_noapp=true
One of the better deals that I have seen for those collecting the 2 oz Silver Queen's Beast: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Daily-Deal...Bull-9/173182295144?_trkparms=5079:5000006556 Random 1 oz Gold Krugerrand...looks to be $12 over spot as of this posting: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ON-SALE-1-...152602554302?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10
Great Deals on Mexican Gold! https://monumentmetals.com/gold/vintage-world-gold-coins/gold-coins-mexico.html
Once again, if a place that makes its living buying and selling PMs thinks it's a good time to be selling at spot... I'm thinking maybe it's not the best time to buy?
Provident gets these metals way under spot since they buy massive quantities in the hundreds of thousands of ounces. Then will make a profit when they sell to you over spot, plus the profit from what they paid. Then when you sell it back, they will offer you under spot and sell to someone else over spot. Rinse and repeat this several thousand times and you make a lot of money. They wouldn't keep their doors open and be able to offer free shipping if they didn't make money. It's the miners right now and the investors like us that are taking the beato down right now!
