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...
I think they do that to get new customers on their mailing/call lists.
That's been the case in recent years AND decades -- but that's because the premiums to bullion were astronomical for high-grade coins after the...

That's not a bad level even if you adjust for the 3% less gold. $100 + the 3% shortfall = about an 11-12% premium for bullion. Considering an...
I think the 1/4 oz. is closer to a 10-15% premium (I've bought a few).....1/10th oz. is closer to a 25% premium. You really get gouged if you...
Don't forget Saints have less than 1 oz. of gold. :D
Yeah, in an environment of low metal prices -- and what happens if silver trades back into the single-digits ? -- the Mint should make the markup...
Yeah, they need to be clearer because I can't see small imperfections, marks, etc.....make sure the anti-shake feature is on...use a table to...
Regarless of price ? $2 markup if silver trades down to $10/oz. is alot different than when silver was $30/oz.
It's $19.75 per ASE, which is CHEAPER than the price they are advertising for a 500 ASE Monster Box. :wideyed: Silver is $16.71 so it's an 18%...
