<p>[QUOTE=&quot;E Pluribus Unum, post: 2764701, member: 74265&quot;]Well, I definitely am not going to pay the current premium on the Rwandan Hippo.&nbsp; Please check my math, but I believe it is selling at a 30% premium.&nbsp; One vendor quoted $24.55 per oz.&nbsp; Spot is $17.26.&nbsp; Subtracting these two gives $7.29 above spot.&nbsp; Then $7.29 divided by $17.26 (and multiply by 100) gives 30%.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been thinking about gold because the premiums are much lower than silver.&nbsp;

On the downside, you can purchase about 65 ASE for the price of a single AGE.&nbsp; But the 2017 British Gold Sovereign are currently going for $320.00.&nbsp; It carries a 6.9% premium that is lower than any of the above silver bullion.&nbsp; In fact, I am thinking about buying a 2017 Sovereign.&nbsp; That&#039;s the equivalent of about 16 ASE.&nbsp; Sunshine silver rounds are always a good buy - especially if there is a special.[/COLOR]</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
