I've only received/accepted one sale on a Certified XF Indian $2.5, the remainder are returned "unavailable"!
I watch a couple of dealer websites for gold at spot deals and 1/4 ozt gold does get offered periodically though it's usually the US Mint's $5 commemorative coins and not Eagles or such. For a bullion collector like me, that's perfectly fine.
I tried posting a response that generally when trying to acquire up to/including $50 certified Gold Eagles, "the remainder are returned "unavailable"!" The $2.50 Indian, yet unreceived coin, was acquired at a "bargain price" of ~$625, believed ~25% premium!
Rising silver price, so why are refiners telling dealers/retail that they'll get Spot Silver minus 10% (or $6 or whatever) ?
They have a massive stockpile/backlog of silver inventory ready for recycling. They have a limited capacity to refine it.
Makes sense, silver IS historically "spikey." But if the current prices hold, that "I'm Not Gonna Get Burned" discount should disappear...I hope.
