<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1260461, member: 22004"]Premiums on various coins fluctuate, sometimes significantly. There was a bullion trader at the flea market selling proof silver eagles in capsules for $50 yesterday, and platinum eagles at spot. I know buyers paying more than those wholesale prices, sometimes significantly more. I have been at coins shows where the premiums on eagles even go down to spot for cash buyers. There are buyers of those for $50 an oz. over current spot price, etc.. </p><p><br /></p><p>There will always be buyers interested in certified, slabbed bullion. Just don't pay crazy premiums unless you have a rare issue year. I would check to see what Apmex is selling for, they also post some of their buy prices for the same items. Tight spreads on popular items is an indication of low risk. Big buy/sell spreads is usually an indication of speculative areas that will probably be hard to get your money out of the investment for the premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
