<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 564289, member: 17919&quot;]I was assuming that the melt price was taking into account the &quot;ugly&quot; factor, and that the dealer probably had less than the asking price invested in it, since it could have easily been bought when the Japanese yen was high and the dollar-based gold price was relatively low.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, a few Japanese dealers will occasionally sell some American gold at melt if they can still make a profit on it. For example, I bought some $10 Indians at one show for little more than melt, and one of them ended up being slabbed as an MS-61. All the others were slabbed at slightly lower grades, but they were all genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
