I think in last years thread there was a chart where to swap back and forth. If played right a person could trade back and forth and end up with more but it moves slow generally. The latest premiums make it harder also.
That's always the problem. Everybody likes to sight the paper GSR but it really has been relevant that last year. The premiums were much closer to spot in the first 3/4's of 2019. Ever since then it seems like premiums have soared especially for silver. But now gold is seeing it happen too.
A 2021 1/10 ozt AGE on goldeneaglecoin.com going for $241 as I write this. You can get a 1 ducat gold coin for $212 and get even more gold content. My LCS won't pay you the premium if you need to sell.
Just in case anyone is interested in the 1 ducat gold coin. I purchased 1 in early January and they just now are processing the payment and I should get a tracking # next week. We're talking two months delivery. I did pay by paper check but it usually takes a couple of weeks. Crazy times we are living in.....
