Hi guys,

First I want to thsnk you guys for advising me with my questions I had as a new collector. I 've decided that I will collect only gold bullion coins, and if they eventally have a numismatic value, then great, but I buy only at 3% -5% above spot, sometimes even less. Anyway, as a bullion buyer what do you think of gold coins that are labeled sruffy or cleaned? I buy with the intent of receiving melt value, so would cleaned coins at heavy discount be a good buy? Thanks!

They are a "good buy" if all you are expecting, and paying for, is bullion value content.

You can probably sell cleaned ones for more than melt, depending on date and mint mark. However, the number of people wanting/willing to pay more for damaged specimens is much lower than those looking only for original coins.

If after discount they are just above bullion value, then there is no loss. Buying NCLT coins for substantially more than bullion value would be risky if not in top condition.

Here's a weird question.....does anyone here on this forum sell coins around spot? Is there a buy/sell section? Just wondering.

I would have no problem with buying problem bullion coins as long as there is a discount from the price of a problem free example.
