And those premiums have varied from a little over spot to 20% or more especially for the gold dollars up to the $5 Indians. It is a lot harder for the buyer to say the coin is damaged, cleaned, or altered surfaces if the coin is in a holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>But these days a problem gold coin is worth around the metal price at Heritage, Rarcoa and Spectrum--they may give you a few percent over melt if you are lucky.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
