Considering trading a few Pandas for AGEs... should this be an equal trade w/ no premium on either s

Thread title says it all ... only talking a three 1/4 oz, one 1/10 oz and one 1/2 oz


oh yeah... before anyone might ask "why?"... "because I want to" image

    You might be able to find somebody who wants to swap even just for giggles, but don't expect a dealer to work for free.

    Being a coin dealer myself, I am shocked to hear you say that, sir... I must reply that I strongly resemble that remark image

    With recent revelation of panda counterfeits I'd take a small hit to get out of them. Before it's over the counterfeiters are going to have a field day with modern gold bullion. MS69 certified will have a nice premium before it's over.

    Oh right, like the dealer watching him slide his pandas across the counter and then sliding his AGEs back at him at 1:1 constitutes "work". Gimme a break.

    Moving inventory in any direction is work. Don't forget dealer's have to keep flawless records. And why would a dealer swap out something that sells for more than what he swaps in without some kind of payoff?

    Some would probably trade you straight across but there are quite a few that would not. You would have to pay a little extra $ on top.

    If the 0.85 oz of Pandas are worth less than 0.85 oz of AGEs then fine, charge the guy the difference for the swap. Record the transaction as an oz/oz swap on gold with a net to the dealer of $x. Both parties are still ending up with 0.85 oz of gold. Just don't call it work.
