<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1085328, member: 19065&quot;]So you must have seen what sets of these bullion coins are selling for on eBay... There are sets of the bullion coins still selling on eBay for&nbsp; greater than 100% profit or <i>numismatic premium</i> on what buyers got them for. I think you and plenty of others are biased against these coins for the same reason, they are very difficult to obtain right now and this literally hurts peoples feelings who may have wanted the coins. Therefore we see people blame every other aspect of the coins impossible numismatic premiums, others&#039; foolishness to overpay for the bullion at these rates, dealers taking &#039;advantage&#039; of collectors (essentially what dealers do when given half the chance)... Much of this will fade as more coins hit market and a collector base develops (or flops if such a base doesn&#039;t).</p><p><br /></p><p>FideliTrade&#039;s price of $929.20 is hardly something to laugh at. For $929.20&nbsp;&nbsp; (minus the $69 FedEx expedited return s/h built into that cost), at $860.20 for just the coins and less the 10% mark up&nbsp; ($86.02) the APs were allowed/restricted to place, this comes to&nbsp; $774.18 / 5 coins or $154.84 per 5 oz. coin. Friday 1/22 closing Ask&nbsp; price for silver spot on Kitco.com was $27.55. If buying with the&nbsp; typical $1-$3 over spot we can still round this to $30/oz making an&nbsp; example easier to illustrate. With silver&#039;s performance, it&#039;s not such a stretch from buying 5 ounces at $25-$30/oz. = $125-$150/5 oz. From there you can add the mark ups and s/h charged raising the price, but then these are (right now) covered by outperforming numismatic premiums.</p><p><br /></p><p>These flipped prices may not always be the case as is often the way of flipping new hot coins from the Mint. Collectors and dealers are paying the current prices, not PM investors. There are&nbsp; simply smarter things to <i>invest</i> money in and everyone knows that&nbsp; without making perverse comments about coins or certain bullion due to their&nbsp; scarcity. The buyers of these bullion coins at inflated bullion prices, whether buying direct from the APs&nbsp; or from flippers on the secondary market are not investors in that sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
