<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 1847511, member: 21782&quot;]I’ve stayed away from selling much bullion, too much volume required and too risky maintaining a large inventory.&nbsp; Sold most of my bullion in the run up and made a decent profit, now concentrating on numismatics.&nbsp; So, not really concerned about the bullion market, but I can&#039;t believe industrial demand requires melting investment grade U.S. bullion coins.&nbsp; Aside from increasing volume, the only good reason I can see for a dealer to off U.S. bullion coins at less than melt is to avoid risk by not holding them.&nbsp; If the bullion coin also enjoys a hefty numismatic premium, doesn&#039;t make since melting it.&nbsp; I mean, would you melt a 1995-w ASE proof?&nbsp; If not, why melt pucks with half the mintage?&nbsp; I&#039;d rather hold them to see if future demand drives the price up far past the melt value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
