<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 328485, member: 11467&quot;]I hope someone else will have a better answer than I do, but I think you raised a good question and I want to at least try to give an explanation for the situation you described.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Generally speaking, the lower/smaller the bullion content/value of a item, the greater the % premium that people are willing to pay for it. For example, the price premium that you have to pay over the &quot;spot&quot; price of gold for a 1/4 or 1/10 oz. bullion gold coin is larger on a percentage basis than that which you would have to pay on a 1 oz. piece.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Often, as the bullion value of an item increases in price, the numismatic premium declines, since the buyer is paying a higher price for the item, due to its bullion content. Also, when the precious metals get hot, extra attention is focused in that area, sometimes at the expense of the numismatic aspects. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
