<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 447199, member: 3011"]I would say that if you expect to hold the coins for a long long time, the premium becomes less important. Check around for three or four sources you trust and take the cheapest. Premiums are very high now, as you point out, but it is just as likely that the spot price will rise as it is that the value of the bullion falls, so you may not come out ahead by waiting for dealer premiums to normalize. </p><p><br /></p><p>The American Eagle gold and silver coins might not be the cheapest of the bullion coins, but they are probably easier to resell for a smaller discount than the others. Another thing to consider is that the American Silver Eagle series in particular may develop numismatic value someday if/when the US Mint decides to discontinue them. They are very popular but not yet scarce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
