Charging a big premium at that time was not a surprise since you figure the price will bounce back. Nobody wants to sell into a crash. If you...
But people were buying before....LOTS....when silver was $25 and $30 and even $45/oz. Didn't see the same % premium then, right ? This premium...
But then why doesn't the price of silver RISE if there is all this demand ? Agreed...assuming there are silver subsitutes. Which there are, but...
The question remains after 3 years....why are the premiums so large and so persistent....without a rise in the underlying price of silver ? Has...

Many/most of the coins could have been quasi-bullion or AU or lower for many common coins. I doubt Paramount/Akers were interested in bullion...
Could be the remnants of it with younger guys who acquired the firm, but most likely just another firm using a common name. I think I had the...
Paul Wittlin was a famous surveyor of European bank vaults and brought back lots of coins. I believe he worked for Paramount which I understand...
I'd stick with the OGH unless an upgrade will result in a quantum increase in $$$ value of the coin. I'm surprised an auctioneer or estate seller...
The Krugerrand got blacklisted during apartheid; after that, new coins gained in popularity: American Eagle, Chinese Panda, Maple Leaf, Buffalo,...
1st full year of availability in the U.S. once Pres. Ford OK'd gold ownership by individuals by rescinding the notorious FDR EO.
