<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cphine, post: 721439, member: 20940&quot;]I&#039;m new to coins and PMs so it did take me by surprise to see the differences between spot price and what items were actually selling for.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t take much thought to realize, though, that there are indeed costs involved in creating the varying items we purchase (as has been mentioned) and that coupled with dealer spread makes me a bit less concerned about paying premiums...although I do look for the lowest ones I can find.</p><p>I suppose it also depends on what you are purchasing the metals for.&nbsp; If it&#039;s just a hedge against inflation and have the cash to buy 100oz Ag bars, you&#039;ll save a little bit.&nbsp; If you are a silver eagle collector, you are adding a bit more for the collectable numismatic value and the fact that even if silver went to 0, you&#039;d still have a dollar to spend.&nbsp; It&#039;s sort of like you are paying for that dollar up front. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I figure, if I buy low and sell high, I don&#039;t really care about the premiums because everyone else is paying them too![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
