DEAD: 1 oz Gold American Eagle | Random Date US Mint Coin
Buy it with a 2% cash-back credit card and your cost is $20 or so below spot price -or- choose PayPal credit at checkout and get no interest and no payments for six months.
For perspective, you’ll most-frequently find 1 Oz. coins like this on eBay for around $100 over spot price. If you bought direct or through a large dealer that isn’t paying payment fees or eBay fees, you should be able to get them for $50 over spot price instead.
When you sell them, you should expect to sell them at spot price. If you’re offered less than $5 UNDER spot price, you’re not getting a fair offer. $5 or $10 ABOVE spot price is a very generous offer.
Maybe… but I’ve seen these deals from time to time from various (large) dealers and there doesn’t seem to be any particular correlation with the market.
I have noticed that they’re virtually always on Friday and they carry over in to the weekend if the seller has sufficient quantity.
Markets should be closed tomorrow so maybe this is virtual-Friday.
