<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Duane Waller, post: 1791903, member: 57243&quot;]Thanks again for having patience with me!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One site I just found is the usmint.gov,&nbsp; selling 1 oz American Eagle Silver and Gold proof coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Price for silver is:&nbsp; $52.95</p><p>Price for gold is: $1,660.00</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The &quot;aforementioned dealer&quot; has them also listed as</p><p>(1.0 oz Gold American Eagle Proof) and (1.0 oz SC1AE Silver Amer Eagle Proof).</p><p>Price for silver is: $78.00</p><p>Price for gold is: $2011.00</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Without knowing any better, I would interpret the difference as commission fees.</p><p>Gold proof commission appears to be 47% on top of the usmint price.</p><p>Silver proof commission appears to be a little over 20%</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So if indeed these are the same exact coins, I would be silly to purchase them from&nbsp; a dealer, when I can get them at a significantly lower price from usmint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What is REALLY odd is the dealer is indicating they will buy back the silver proof at $67.08 and the gold proof at $1729.00.&nbsp;&nbsp; How can that be?</p><p>How can they afford to purchase a coin back from someone and pay a higher price for it than they would pay if they bought that coin from usmint.gov???</p><p>I must be missing something!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
