Let me ask this: for some of you, what is your drop-dead level of premium at which you will NOT buy a single coin or small number of coins ?...
For ASEs, I think 15-20% is ACCEPTABLE for small quantities, which I frequently buy. If you buy in size, then I think you want that premium under...
For apples-to-apples, I exclude S/H/I (minimal or none) and taxes, for the reasons I outlined earlier. For me, the premium I pay for the...
Judging by the poll results, we have some pure-silver-at-cheapest-cost investors here who think even 10% is excessive. Either that or they are...
Agreed......but maybe a separate thread to discuss the specifics of sales tax on in-state and OOS and Internet purchases of PMs is warranted....
And this has nothing to do with being a "whackoist" but simple common-sense and the normal practice for decades involving tens of millions of...
DP, it's not the buyers responsibility to collect sales tax and fork it over to his or her state of residence. The Supreme Court decided that in...
Has nothing to do with it...has to do with the fact that the retailer is responsible for the collection of sales tax, the buyer is not legally...
ETFs are paper, which I think most people wanting to buy the physical do not want to own. I agree that SLV, GLD, and IAU are good to play trends...
DB, what ever happened to this coin ? And GD, where is the 'doubling' on the obverse that you are referencing ? I can't see it, though maybe...
Wow, congrats that is a VERY LUSTROUS Double Eagle. How did you take those great pics ?
The premium on Saints expands when the price of gold is very low. Also, the numismatic premiums took off in 1988-1990.
When the post-War hyperinflations and upheavals began, the U.S. coin was seen as the standard bearer. In times of trouble, folks want U.S. assets...
My retail guy charged me 12% each time I bought a few years ago.
You guys will...active buyers...players.....message board posters. The average person who checks the price of silver every few days or less...
That's the point...in a DEFLATIONARY vortex, precious metals may go down in price and still appreciate in real terms. I think you make a good...
But is it cheating ? If you buy from OOS or online, I don't think you should be liable. You buy something OOS -- like gasoline on a trip to...
No liquidity compared to the same $$$ amount in ASEs, IMO. Silver coins from yesteryear will always have some demand, but among newer buyers of...
Premium much less on the more expensive item, makes sense. Apples-to-apples, you would want to compare 50-60 ASEs to 1 AGE.
Liquidity....most people are more comfortable with the most familiar...that means COINS. They like them better plus if they are more willing to...
Separate names with a comma.
