<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2612702, member: 71510&quot;]You are correct.&nbsp; I bought numerous British gold sovereigns this year.&nbsp; I actually got most of them for a few dollars UNDER melt after Ebay bucks and cash back offers.&nbsp; Worst case was $3 over melt per coin for ~100yr old sovereigns.&nbsp; I did get lucky on one of them, as it was a rare date sovereign from the Sydney mint.&nbsp; Worth a bit of a premium.&nbsp; It all worked out in my favor I suppose.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is, if you have the market, the US bullion also has a premium when you sell, and it&#039;s recognizable.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Iranian Pahlavi I bought for $5 under melt will never get a premium - at least in the USA.&nbsp; It&#039;s another world trade coin, very similar to the sovereign and identical in weight.&nbsp; I could almost guarantee that if I put it up for auction, it would get less than the sovereign.</p><p><br /></p><p>You must also consider the collectible and numismatic value when talking coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
