<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ra1der5, post: 24572838, member: 146576&quot;]I think this may be partially true, but I also think our local dealers are looking for 6% premium on their gold Maple Leafs.&nbsp; One week they’ll tell you their premium is $150 and they will keep it there as they watch the spot price fluctuate.&nbsp; When spot increases, and they think the market is going to continue to increase, then they raise their premium to keep up with the 6%.&nbsp; It’s not immediate, so that’s why I’m seeing a $25 jump.&nbsp; Likewise when spot decreases, but they seem slower to respond.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the naïveté, but what is an “AGE”?&nbsp; Is that an on-line dealer?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just trying to understand; if spot were $2,000, then a 4% premium would be $80.&nbsp; If the local coin shop is adding $70, then wouldn’t they be in the ballpark… or is that why you are saying it’s too high?</p><p><br /></p><p>But then, looking on-line, I think you’re right. A 6% premium over spot (~$150) for gold does seem excessive.&nbsp; On-line dealers appear to be around 4%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the Barton’s tip.&nbsp; Here’s a cool website I found:&nbsp; <a href="https://findbullionprices.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://findbullionprices.com/" rel="nofollow">https://findbullionprices.com/</a>&nbsp; There are four or five reputable on-line dealers that are $80-$100 over spot for one-ounce gold Maple Leafs (single coin purchase).&nbsp; Maybe take prints to the local coin shop and see if they will match?&nbsp; If not, well then I guess they risk losing sales to on-line dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
