<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 775301, member: 3011"]Around me, American Eagle series [gold or silver] coins ALWAYS command a premium to privately minted rounds or bars, or foreign coins when you go to sell them. I've never seen a dealer who didn't pay less, and sometimes significantly less for generic gold. For the small difference in price, a beginner should always prefer the form that will be easiest to resell. Many collectors want AGEs and dealers know they can resell them for a premium over generic bullion. There is also much less chance of a beginner getting stuck with a counterfeit, underweight or bar/coin with mismarked purity. I don't think there is any doubt that this would be the correct course of action for someone making their first gold purchase. To me, it is unthinkable to recommend any other approach to someone you don't know and can't personally assist with the purchase or sale transaction. I would even call it irresponsible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
