<p>[QUOTE="lucyray, post: 984179, member: 24565"]Here's what the company I deal with says about pricing for 1/10 oz coins (and the rest..) For ('their') retail selling price, multiply "Ask" price by 1.035. For (their) retail buying price, multiply*** "Bid" by 0.97 I don't know how anyone else calculates, but I have used a nice excel spreadsheet they sent me to keep track of the ups and downs of both gold and silver (broken down by sizes/ fractionals / and silver content of different types of silver etc. I find the chart very helpful, as you put in your original purchase prices and the formulas calculate the rest, ie, ending up with a total valuation. On any given day, I can just go in and change the $ price of gold and silver, and the formulas are computed instantly for an up to the moment valuation where I can see gain or loss and to what extent. I also have a chart my husband used to maintain that takes the same data, and it calculates where your break even is (considering commissions on both ends as appropriate, and things like shipping costs); computing capital gains/losses, etc, so that in the end a more informed decision can be made on buying and selling. Now if I could just understand it all! All that was to say if you wanted an email of the blank form I could send it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
