biged239 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 07/11/2011 3:46 pm Correction.I have my math wrong. Averaged out to melt. I paid $10.00 a piece for the franklins. and the dimes I paid 5X face plus a dollar. the quarters was just a throw in from them at two dollars a piece. These folks were about to go to the bank face value. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 08:04 am Interesting sideline: My sister who was a teller in a bank, had a customer cash in 14 $200 NCLT gold coins, which were legal tender for $200. AGW per coin 9.1667 grammes. My sister bought them from the bank for $2,800, and kept them for a few years. The gold value went over $200 per coin, she had a warm fuzzy feeling about her purchase. Then she decided to sell her house and buy another, so she sold her gold holding for $200 each, because the gold had dropped back below $200 per coin, but she needed the capital. Those coins are now worth about $450 each in gold value. That would have been a 225% increase in dollar terms. The value of her house has quadrupled in dollar terms over the same period. House prices have not fallen in Oz. Perhaps they will in the future. Report this Post to the Staff

I am faulting you for the deal. I am merely pointing out that many on this forum would be ranting and raving if a dealer offered those buy prices. So if it came across as a personal attack on you, it wasn't in any way, shape, or form. It was just pointing out the hypocrisy that exists when comparing how dealers transact with customers versus private deals. It was somewhat tongue in cheek... Report this Post to the Staff
