<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John King, post: 2415950, member: 78398&quot;]That really depends on the dealers and the particular LCS&#039;s.&nbsp;&nbsp; The last show I went to I thought everything was going for retail prices and I did better with my local coin shop although he is a dealer as well.&nbsp; You do best if you are always willing to walk away.&nbsp; The bullion market is so volatile that you may have to sit on that silver or gold for many years to make a real profit.&nbsp; If you buy a silver coin for $25 and the price of silver goes to $30 the dealer might offer you 20-25 bucks for the same coin because he has to make a profit if this is his means of making a living.&nbsp; For silver to got from say $18 an ounce to $30 an ounce is a huge move.&nbsp; It has done this in the past but you may have to wait 25 years while it just bumps along between $7-20 an ounce.&nbsp;&nbsp; There have been just three real bullion bull markets in the last 100 years.&nbsp; All these bullion bull markets were result of economic calamity.&nbsp; Bullion is a form of insurance IMO.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you have 1 million dollars then maybe $50,000 should be in gold and silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the investor point of view.&nbsp; If you collect coins just for fun you will be happier and you may still make a profit one day when you cash out.&nbsp; I am also dazzled by gold and silver coins, but I try to keep in mind that for all but rare coins the bullion price is important value of the coin gold in particular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
