[QUOTE="TTerrier, post: 6892746, member: 76835"]Hello everyone, I have been collecting ancient coins for about 10 years and some world coins for the last 3. I recently picked up a few small (1/10 oz) gold bullion coins - Maple Leafs and Kangaroos. The RCM has some really nice looking gold coins which seem to be aimed at collectors instead of bullion buyers because of the large premiums over spot. One I recently looked at was the 1/10 oz 100th anniversary of Canada's coat of arms - a beautiful coin but retails at $500 CDN which is basically double spot. There are also some Alex Colville commemoratives that are really nice. I realize there is a premium over spot for collector coins but in people's experience do these collector premiums hold up over time? It seems like a really large premium and I wonder if there is enough market for these to maintain that. I can say that the RCM gold coins seem to sell out very quickly so there must be some interest. Comments on how the value of these types of coins (ignoring bullion value) have held up over time would be much appreciated! Thanks[/QUOTE]
