    I also saw at the show one dealer had a stack of Silvertown 10 oz bars. He wasn't around, but the guy sharing his booth said he was asking $170 each. Premium was a little too steep for me.

    you did well on the 1/10 eagles

    as for the other gold, you sing a familiar tune......all bullion premiums are HUGE, KRANDS at 60+ over, EAGLES at 80+ over,

    just look at generic US pre-1933 gold.......the spreads are ENORMOUS........a VF $5 lib that would barely catch SPOT a few months ago is $50 over....thats right $50 over!!!!! that's $200+/oz over gold........

    That was a good price on the 1/10th as this past friday I had 155 come in and sold them 1 hr later at 92.50 each. Course that was before the price drop later in the day.

    I went to the Lansing Michigan coin club show last weekend. It was really slow there too.

    Yes, numismatics are dead right now.

    Unless you are dealing top line rarities, it's tough out there.

    Older proof sets seem to be holding. Not increasing, but not dropping that I can see.

    At least that's one of the nice things I have collected over the years.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    The silvertown 10's were to the right side of the aisle as you came in the entrance. Right on the edge of the stamp sellers. I was there around 11:30 and he had a stack of ten or more. Also had some ziploc bags of 90%, but already had a handle on the premium he was asking when I heard $17/oz for the bars, so didn't bother asking about the 90%.

    thats what i worry about.....a return of the slow illiquid days of 1990-1995

    when PM's take off and collector coins just sit, generics just sit, etc. - it is bad news.....
