<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flintcreek6412, post: 1838193, member: 61025&quot;]I&#039;m 100% confident my guy knows his gold&nbsp; because they have a large jewelry store with custom jewler as part of the business.&nbsp; He has over 100 gold coins in stock with thousands of other coins.&nbsp; He&#039;s in his late 20&#039;s, taking over the coin part from the retired owner.&nbsp; The owners son runs everything but is a gem guy.&nbsp; He&#039;s learning and probably one of the best in town.&nbsp; But he&#039;s certainly not an expert.&nbsp; Good at grading sub MS stuff but it gets tough after that.&nbsp;&nbsp; Plus, I&#039;m a platinum customer having a wife and daughter with expensive taste they will stand behind anything I buy. </p><p><br /></p><p>My only other store is very small with a disinterested owner that seems happy to sell state quarters and silver eagles.&nbsp; He has enough inventory to buy a low grade type set but only 2 gold coins total and maybe 8 slabbed coins.&nbsp; His lack of interest in helping me with a 20 cent piece turned me off.&nbsp; Me might have the best knowledge in the business but he&#039;s pretty much checked out in the customer service department.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve checked online and it seems even AU 50 stuff is carrying a $300+ premium over spot.&nbsp; That&#039;s slabbed though and slabbed is probably the only way I&#039;ll buy online unless they have a great reputation.&nbsp; APMEX are like $200 over spot on XF sight unseen and that&#039;s a real chance to get something with no eye appeal.&nbsp; Plus, that takes the fun out of picking your coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll get it figured out eventually, but gold might be $2K/oz before I have the courage to pull the trigger.....LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
