<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1589543, member: 41665&quot;]Ya I remember looking at this coin back in the Summer of 2009: HUGE PREMIUMS, ordered from the Mint (~40% all incl.) For clients wanting longterm bullion, I specifically warned them away from this and that egregious markup. They bought cheaper Maples instead. </p><p><a href="http://www.coinnews.net/2009/11/08/2009-ultra-high-relief-gold-coin-values/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinnews.net/2009/11/08/2009-ultra-high-relief-gold-coin-values/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinnews.net/2009/11/08/2009-ultra-high-relief-gold-coin-values/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Pay Spot + over $1,000.&quot; for this coin? Well, a fool and his money are soon parted. Today, best price, 2009 UHR is certainly nowhere near &quot;$1,000. premium&quot; (+59% premium over Spot??!) The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle (w/Original Box and CoA) is readily available from Provident for $ 800. over Spot (pay more) and it&#039;s auctioning (or BIN) on eBay from Top-Rated Sellers for just <b>$575.- 600. over Spot</b> (pay less.) </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s still a ~34% Premium - way too high. The premium has fallen at least 25% by this Quarter, within 3 years. Recently completed auctions show the coin selling for ~29.6% over Spot. So check the collapsed &#039;numismatic premium&#039; for that gimmicky coin three years from now, when Gold is either &gt;$2,800./ozt or, conversely (in another deflationary burp) Gold plunges -25% <i>again</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t believe putative &#039;numismatic value&#039; will surge here: <i>most </i>modern PM coins are overpriced, hyped bullion. Caveat emptor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
