[QUOTE="CoinKeeper, post: 702544, member: 16707"]I got a half-sovereign and a 10 peso mexican gold coin just below spot because of differences in the exchange rate between american to canadians dollars (I'm Canadian) so I got like 1% off :P My dealer is very fair and sells common bullion at spot. I've gotten ounces of franklin halves at spot from him too. I also got a sovereign off of eBay (I made sure the seller offered a full refund if not satisfied) 2.7% below spot at the time. This is because the seller only shipped to Canada so there was much less interest than if he offered it to the rest of the world. This coin is definitely worth 10-20% above spot (MS-64,65 condition) I also got a 10 guilden gold coin for a tad above spot from another dealer near me. And i splurged on a 2.5peso gold coin and paid a little extra because of it's smaller size and pretty design :) The key thing is to shop around and wait for a good deal. Don't get things on impulse because it's the only thing around. But, now is not the time to buy. Wait for gold to drop.[/QUOTE]
