[QUOTE="Taribor, post: 1758243, member: 41027"]I never really understood these arguments and the complaining about the huge premiums the mint charges. If you are buying from the mint, you are buying coins, not bullion.

I bought a '13 Buffalo that graded out at PR70.........the value when from 1600 to 2000 in about two seconds and it had zero to do with "premiums" and precious metal content, and everything to do with collector value. If you want cheap bullion, rounds, etc, then you sacrifice collector value of low mintage, legal tender, etc....but you gain prices that are half what the mint charges.
