physical tightness in gold coin market?

jkrkjkrk Posts: 1,028 ✭✭✭✭✭

Following the silver trend which has been in effect for awhile?

If Gold rallied to $2400 / this year... Would premiums on generic DE's fall or rise from today's level?

I'll take the other side.

    There are two silver markets, the high volume industrial commodity market which is what spot price correlates to, and the low volume consumer market, which is spot+premium. Gold isn’t the same.

    Generic DE always a popular investment buy. I like MS63 or 64 pieces with good strike and luster, no spots / unattractive toning when shopping for these.

    Thoughts as to premium on a nice looking generic Saint, MS-65+?

    Yes and no. There is still a consumer gold market with premiums attached. AU $20s currently carry a $300+ premium. A couple of years ago, the premium was $50.

    You are correct. I should have clarified that the gold premiums for consumer gold are much, much lower than silver when you look at it as a percentage per ounce. That’s because there isn’t as much of an industrial demand for gold vs silver.

    Gold will likely continue to rise through this year.... a lot depends on the geo-economic situation. Premiums could increase nicely under certain circumstances. Cheers, RickO
