Gold Eagles and Buffaloes have better liquidity. Costco has good prices, but limited selection, and no buyback option..
Dealer premiums (both buy and sell) vary greatly. And Costco is not an option when you want or need to sell.
The bigger, well known dealers often have the highest premiums when youโre buying, and some of the lowest offers when selling. Always compare dealer offers in both directions.
@BankerWeimar 20 francs are an ideal coin for stacking. Dozens of variations from participating country, standardized at 0.1867 Troy ounces per coin. Average premiums range from 1.75% to 5%, and with gold prices where they are, these coins are โaffordableโ,
Premiums that high from market makers for current year coins could be a signal of production or delivery issues with the mint. Secondary market premiums have dropped and several dealers are offering silver at spot deals on some silver bars sizes, random 1.5 oz and 2 oz coins, and 90% silver.
Silver back above $80/oz
Dealer premiums across all categories have dropped on gold and silver.
Lots of gold and silver at spot offers from dealers means lots of inventory, which is expected after all of the buybacks during the January spike.
Stack up over the weekend.
@silver207141 APMEXโs premiums are consistently higher than every other dealer. Itโs part of their business model. Their premiums are high because they can, not necessarily because of demand.
@silver207141 The bigger the dealer, the higher the premiums. Stick with reputable smaller dealers. They operate more efficiently, have lower operating costs, and many times, significantly lower premiums. Always compare dealers before buying.
@silvertrade@mothersilverape Yet another reason to always compare prices before buying. Generic Buffalo rounds are a better value than APMEX branded rounds
