<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1091693, member: 10103&quot;]You seem to forget there is a middle man involved with the sale of bullion items.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The price of the gold bullion coins is based on the gold content plus a fixed percentage premium of the gold price. The pricing of the precious metal content is established at the time of the sale: The London P.M. (second) Gold Fix on the date following the day of the order, excluding federal government holidays. The fixed premiums are a percentage of the gold price: 3 percent, 5 percent, 7 percent and 9 percent for the 1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 ounce coins, respectively. The set premiums charged cover all of the United States Mint’s manufacturing, marketing and distribution expenses. The United States Mint reserves the right to alter the pricing mechanisms and vary the premiums charged for the gold bullion coins as circumstances dictate. Any such change will not affect orders accepted prior to the announced change.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/GoldAPRequirements.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/GoldAPRequirements.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/GoldAPRequirements.pdf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
