Hi all, A few months ago I decided to visit a local pawn shop that sells old junk silver coins, commemorative coins, and misc Indians and world coins. I noticed this year 2000 Krugerrand sitting on another shelf and I quickly asked to see it. I don't really collect gold coins or bullion except for the 1/10 Gold Eagle I won a few years back in a CoinTalk contest. At that moment of seeing it I just wanted it. The price was average but I am a haggler! I went back every Sunday for 3 weeks and finally convinced the guy to drop the price about 30%..then did I lay-a-way plan..and now it's mine! @Nathan401 Enjoy!
I haven't posted this picture in a long time but here I am with the 1/10 Gold Eagle I won in a CoinTalk contest back in December 2014! One of the luckiest times of my life
Wait, so you long play haggled over weeks and finally got a 30% discount.. then put it on layaway? That takes some big brass cajones. They were all right with doing layaway after after all that or did they know layaway would be part of the deal from the get go?
Very cool. Regardless of year or condition, they should always be priced a hair over spot. That was always the intent, and it has worked out fine. Notice there is no face value they were minted to be worth, and to trade at the spot price of the day. I have never really seen these trade at any kind of numismatic premium. The newest year I have is a 2015.
