<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mostly_broncos, post: 2658005, member: 23538&quot;]The&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 1/2&nbsp; peso coins are a great way to buy gold&nbsp;&nbsp; , the closer you can get to melt&nbsp;&nbsp; the better.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;d buy them over&nbsp; &nbsp; any of the 1/10 ounce bullion coins .&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen any fakes&nbsp; ,&nbsp; the fake mexican&nbsp; gold&nbsp; that gave off the bad vibes to people was the stupid&nbsp; mini maximillian pesos that were sloshing around ebay 4 or 5 years ago.&nbsp; The foolish things were made in someones bathroom&nbsp; , it was pretty easy to tell they were not real just&nbsp; by looking at&nbsp; the picture .&nbsp; 22k gold&nbsp; HGE&nbsp; was&nbsp; how they started describing them after a while </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; if&nbsp; you have enough&nbsp; cash to get&nbsp; coins&nbsp; in the&nbsp; tenth ounce range&nbsp; go for&nbsp; the&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 peso&nbsp;&nbsp; or&nbsp;&nbsp; half sovereign&nbsp; .&nbsp; Maybe even&nbsp; a ducat&nbsp; restrike.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;as a small time seller&nbsp;&nbsp; , when its time to get out&nbsp; of the coin&nbsp;&nbsp; its best to assume&nbsp; you will never recover any premium&nbsp; over spot&nbsp; .&nbsp; Dealers&nbsp; love&nbsp; charging&nbsp; you premiums&nbsp; when you buy&nbsp; but&nbsp; if&nbsp; you walk&nbsp; back&nbsp; in&nbsp; with your premium&nbsp; coin&nbsp; and try to sell it back to them and see how it works.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bring&nbsp; your blood pressure meds , you will need them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any way the math on premiums&nbsp; has always been fantasy .&nbsp; If gold doubles&nbsp;&nbsp; the premium disappears , if time goes by&nbsp;&nbsp; inflation eats your lunch&nbsp;&nbsp; so that even if you get your 20$ premium back&nbsp; it won&#039;t buy a pack of tic tacs , or&nbsp; most probably&nbsp; &nbsp; the dealer will&nbsp; give you a line of BS&nbsp; about demand being low at the moment&nbsp; or&nbsp; get out the 50x loupe and find a tiny scratch&nbsp; &nbsp; on the reverse&nbsp; next to the toenail&nbsp; .&nbsp; The only time&nbsp; you see premiums&nbsp; go up is if&nbsp; spot goes down&nbsp; , which is very little comfort&nbsp; if you have seen the melt value cut in half.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buy liquid forms of beat up gold as close to spot as possible&nbsp; and sell the same way.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The melt value&nbsp; of a premium&nbsp; is 0$&nbsp;&nbsp; , the melt value&nbsp; of a slab is 0$, the melt value of a mint mark is 0$ , the melt value of a low mintage is 0$&nbsp;&nbsp; .&nbsp; All that matters is the troy ounces .</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t&nbsp; overlook gold in the form&nbsp; of&nbsp; 14k gold wedding bands , I used to buy those&nbsp; for&nbsp; 5%&nbsp;&nbsp; back of spot from a local&nbsp; dealer before he retired&nbsp; a few years ago. They sell quite well on Ebay&nbsp; or locally.&nbsp; Plus if you ever have to leave somewhere in the dead of night&nbsp; you can put&nbsp; 50 of them on your toes pull you shoes on and&nbsp; hobble away with a few ounces of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Learn how to sell on Ebay&nbsp; , make sure you have a selling account&nbsp; up and running well before&nbsp; you need it.&nbsp;&nbsp; When the day comes&nbsp; to get out of metals&nbsp;&nbsp; you won&#039;t have to deal with 30 day holds if you need the money .&nbsp; Seriously&nbsp;&nbsp; even if&nbsp; you already have an ebay account&nbsp; , open another one and start building feed back on it.&nbsp; If&nbsp; you have 3 feedback and a 2 week old account&nbsp; you are not going to do as well as if you have a 10 year old account&nbsp; with a few hundred feedback[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
