[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 26438122, member: 73489"][I]Does anybody here buy sub-1 ounce modern (1/2, 1/4, 1/10th ounce) gold coins for Eagles, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, even Libertads [/I]? [B][COLOR=#ff0000]I was wondering what the premiums on those have done as gold has risen....[/COLOR][/B]I'm assuming for generic commons, not a special limited run which has scarcity value and for which you might have to pay up. I remember buying some over a decade ago and aside from an occasional outlier here-or-there....I mostly paid within 10-15% premiums of the gold content (this was when gold was anywhere from $300 - $1,200 an ounce). Sometimes if my LCS was low on stock I'd see a 1/4 or 1/2 ounce Eagle at 20% premiums but it was mostly on the 1/10 ouncers that you got "ripped off." Haven't bought one in over a decade.... but judging by the comments here and on other forums.... [B][I]as the price of gold slowly rose over the last decade or so, premiums returned as the coins were still more affordable than a full-ounce coin -- would you say that is correct ? [/I][/B] P.S.
