<p>[QUOTE="myownprivy, post: 3468437, member: 84588"]The only thing you did "wrong" is calculate the premium in a dollar figure instead of in a percentage figure. You need to use a percentage figure when comparing things of different sizes. Since pre33 $20 gold pieces are .9675 ounces and a 1 oz Gold Eagle is 1 oz, it is not useful to see the dollar premium per coin.
