Message:: [QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2215004, member: 34882"]A good gold dealer gives you real gold for your money at reasonable premiums and will buy the gold back at a reasonable price. I think buying back is the biggest part and I've heard quite a few people on this forum advocate that anyone collecting numismatics actually not only just buy but sell a few coins here and there to get a feel for what the process is like. I think that also applies to anyone simply stacking bullion. In fact I often think that many of the silver is silver, gold is gold minded stackers have never tried to sell any of that generic bullion or scrap that they advocate buying because the premiums are lowest. Learning to sell is an important part of not only the numismatic hobby but for stackers as well as it can help you develop a good relationship with a dealer but also provide realistic expectations for liquidating. I've been in my local shop a few times where people not only come in and expect to buy ASE, AGE and 90% junk at spot prices and it's funny listening to the dealer explain why they don't sell at spot prices. The same goes for people selling generic bullion who expect to get spot price for it in return or more when generally that simply doesn't occur.[/QUOTE]
