<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8594701, member: 24754&quot;]When it comes to <u>Spot Price</u>, I also agree. But, I think we are all talking past each other to some extent in this thread when discussing price evaluations.</p><p><br /></p><p>The things that I&#039;m wondering about are separate from spot price. I&#039;m trying to get some perspective on the relationship between <u>Premiums</u> and <u>Dealer Margins</u>. Are they one and the same? Do the margins account for some percentage of the premium at each step along the way? Or are they separate?</p><p><br /></p><p>When I said, &quot;prices that irrationally outpace your investment&quot; in my previous post, I wasn&#039;t talking about silver as an investment vehicle (Spot Price). I was talking about the price that dealers pay for silver (their investment)...... and subsequently the price at which they sell ....... irrespective of spot price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: In re-reading my post, I think that I&#039;m still having trouble clarifying. Here are the questions that get to the root of what I&#039;m asking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming that the spot price of silver remains constant at $20 and the coin dealer-charged premium on Eagles remains constant at $15:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The people with the capability of purchasing Eagles from the Mint, what are they paying per coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I purchase an Eagle at an average coin shop for $20+$15 = $35. If I immediately turn around and sell it back to them, how much money should I expect to get?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
