Question regarding 1oz Maple Leaf

Was wondering, since I picked up 4 of these today at my local B&M (only $0.50 over spot too), is there a premium if they are still within the mint-sealed plastic? Have a "partial sheet" I guess, a sqaure, 2 coins x 2 coins. Will I devalue them a bit if I remove them? I'm an organization freak and like all my govt. issued 1oz'ers in tubes.

Thanks,

Bob

    50 cents over on maples is a steal! Go back and buy as many as you can at that mark-up!

    If I were buying maples, I wouldnt care if they were in plastic pouches or tubes as long as they werent all scratched to hell.

    Run...Don't walk ... & get more ...they normally sell, from a bullion dealer, anywhere from $3.50 to $5.00 above spot. (Except for eBay ... $6 - $9 above spot)

    Geck - trust me, I did and have in the past. Real small shop. Not a lot of new stuff week to week, but sometimes I get lucky.

    All .999 is $.50 over spot, be it generic rounds, generic bars, quality bars/rounds, 1oz govt coins (including ASEs), etc. I wish he would get more in on a regular basis.

    BTW - Good luck with the cottage venture. My wife and I did a similar thing 2 years ago. Bought a little place on Buckeye lake (2,000 acre shallow lake here in OH, 20 minuted from our primary house). Renting it to her brother, so 75% of our mortgage is paid for us and we still have full access/use.

    One warning which others have brought up - do not under estimate the amount of "chore" time you will have. Even with her brother doing the lawn, etc., I still find a good portion of our weekends out there are devoted to maintenance. But hey, just makes the beers on the dock afterwards taste that much better.
    Cheers, Bob

    Original packaging will make them easier to resell and they may bring more money on an auction venue such as eBay.
