[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4209529, member: 73489"]Interesting, thanks for the factoid ! Oh, I'm not concerned with that and I don't think any potential buyer would either....you're buying it for bullion. Now, a numismatic coin like a common date 1924 MS65....[B]in the past, the premium was anywhere from 50% to 200%.[/B] That's a huge premium to pay (though when the price of gold was lower it wasn't alot in absolute terms at certain times). But today you can buy that coin for about a 20% premium to bullion. I disagree....they might not do it with ALL their bullion purchases, but they would certainly be open to getting 1 or 2 or a few. Or they could go down a bit in grade and eliminate the premium entirely. Maybe I'm different, but I consider 20% and even 30% the key thresholds. I'm not saying that I paid up but I don't consider it quite the numismatic purchase like my 1923-D where I paid 100% premium to spot...or a 1907 HR (whenever I get one :D) that is going to be 500-1000%.[/QUOTE]
