<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 404296, member: 8033&quot;]Just a few things here.</p><p><br /></p><p>For starters Peter&#039;s third statement. Couldn&#039;t agree more. Modern bullion is boring but whatever floats your boat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now Doug. Yes, anyone can buy most mint products except the unc silver eagles. All 14 of those &quot;special&quot; dealers get them from the mint. I&#039;m sure this makes it easier for the mint.</p><p>They still make money and have an easier time shipping in bulk lots.</p><p>Silver eagles are valued higher because of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hogwash! It&#039;s still just a stinking ounce of silver to me. Control the supply and the price goes up. At the shop you can buy a silver round for $1 over spot.</p><p>If we need 500 silver eagles WE pay $1.55 over spot. Your cost? $3 over spot generally.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now walk in to SELL a mixture of rounds and silver eagles and guess what? 9 out of 10 times we pay the same. We&#039;re buying bullion no matter how you slice it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey, I know the mint and companies have to make money. This is why they are in business. We&#039;re in business at the shop and make more money reselling &quot;walk ins&quot; than we do having to order them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like so many other aspects of &quot;investing in coins&quot; it can be a real wake up when you decide to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Done with my rant now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
