<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1211819, member: 29012&quot;]I called every major coin shop within 30 miles of me and only found one that had rolls of maple leaves, and it just so happened to be the only one that charged a $4.50 premium for those and ASE&#039;s. The rest all charged $5, and had rolls of ASE&#039;s only. This is cash payment, otherwise the premium goes up. I picked it up myself, so no delivery charge, and no commission or conversion factor that I am aware of. The guy on the phone even told me they paid over $40/oz for them, so they took a loss. It pays to shop around, and do your homework. I don&#039;t usually buy online except for hard to find items or bulk orders of generic bullion. I&#039;ve never bought from banks here, because they&#039;ve never had any, but I wouldn&#039;t expect them to be competitively priced, and that&#039;s probably the reason for all your extenuating factors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[edit]</p><p>I am in western Washington to give you some background. It looks like the premiums here are higher than some other places. I have picked up ASE&#039;s for only a $2 premium at coin shows before, but I haven&#039;t seen a shop cheaper than I&#039;ve already mentioned except for maybe 6 months ago I could find these for $3 over. It looks like demand is outpacing supply to me.</p><p>[/edit][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
