You just have to keep an eye out. Some sellers will even list bullion coins as non bullion. MCM and Silvertowne do this. Most of the time, the net result is still above retail value, but every now and then, you get lucky and you can find stuff below retail or even below melt value.
Anyone like pre-1933 gold, JMB has $10 Eagles for lower premiums, little less than 2.5% if my math is right. Currently $625.
Don't know if this is a great deal but a company Aydin Coins, runs some decent weekend deals. I have used them several times over the years. No shipping fees. This weekend, ends tonite is a 1/10 oz AGE 2017 BU And 1 oz ASE 2017 BU For 166.95
Sort of hard to figure but it strikes me as quantity over price quality. Mind you, I refuse to pay the per-ounce premium for small gold. I save my ammo for one ounces.
I understand your point but for my modest collection, this is very doable for my budget. I figure around 140-150 for the AGE and the Silver Eagle is at a small discount. Decent enough price with free shipping.
They are a small outfit, I have used them several times for my Silver purchases. They send an email every weekend with their best deals. I bought 5 1 oz Australian Silver Kangaroo coins for 99 bucks last week. No shipping charges. Good products.
That range is on the high side right now. 1/10 gold eagles can be had for 140 or less from a couple different online dealers with free shipping.
Ok , wasn't too sure about the pricing. I've used them before and with free shipping. No muss , no fuss. Disregard. Edited: Just bought it. MCM and JM Bullion were both about 5 bucks more.
Saratoga 2015 ATB going for $110 at JMB. Sells for $135 at Apmex or $122 at SD Bullion, if you care to buy a hundred of them.
