Gold and Silver Coin and Bar Premiums – What Is Happening?

Watch Today's Live Video Update
 
◆ GoldCore Live Video Update: Gold and Silver Coin and Bar Premiums - What Is Happening?

◆ Premiums are higher on gold and silver coins and bars, both when you buy and when you sell, and may stay higher in the "new normal."

◆ Bullion coin and bar premiums are not commissions and brokers only make a small component of the premium in what is a very low margin business.

◆ Beware of aggressive pricing strategies on coins and bars and focus on getting value with regard to premiums.

◆ GoldCore remains open for business and when they become available we are buying coins and bars from our government mint and large refinery suppliers and from our clients. While oremiums have surged, we have kept our premiums very competitive. We are paying 1.5% over spot gold to clients for gold kilo bars and higher premiums for smaller bars and bullion coins (1 oz).

◆ We are only selling to clients who have cleared funds on account and are on our Buyers List as we simply cannot meet the demand we are experiencing.

Gold Dealers Report Big Shortages of Small Bars and Coins

(Bloomberg) -- When people are worried about the future they turn to gold to protect their savings. That's rarely been more true than today.


Surging demand and disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic have created a shortage of the small gold bars most popular with consumers. Those who do manage to get their hands on metal have to pay up –- well above the per-ounce prices being quoted on financial markets in London and New York.

Some dealers are desperately contacting clients to see if anyone is willing to sell their gold bars and coins, and offering a rare premium over spot prices. Others have given up trying to trade altogether.

"People want to buy, not to sell gold," said Mark O'Byrne, the founder of GoldCore, a dealer based in Dublin. "We have a buyers' waiting list and we emailed our clients seeing who wished to sell their gold. At this time there is roughly only one or two sellers for every 99 buyers."

Fwd: The Looming Bank Collapse The U.S. financial system could be on the cusp of calamity. This time, we might not be able to save it.

After months  of living with the coronavirus pandemic, American citizens are well aware of the toll it has taken on the economy: broken supply chains, record unemployment, failing small businesses. All of these factors are serious and could mire the United States in a deep, prolonged recession. But there's another threat to the economy, too. It lurks on the balance sheets of the big banks, and it could be cataclysmic. Imagine if, in addition to all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, you woke up one morning to find that the financial sector had collapsed. You may think that such a crisis is unlikely, with memories of the 2008 crash still so fresh. But banks learned few lessons from that calamity, and new laws intended to keep them from taking on too much risk have failed to do so. As a result, we could be on the precipice of another crash, one different from 2008 less in kind than in degree. This one could be worse.

3 Reasons Why Gold Will Outperform Equities And Bonds

3 Reasons Why Gold Will Outperform Equities And Bonds https://www.forbes.com/ 3 Reasons Why Gold Will Outperform Equities And Bonds For centuries, gold has played a major role in human history and has become interwoven into the financial fabric of society. Beyond its investment following, gold has become synonymous with wealth. Historically, gold's early use cases revolved around money – a form of "medium of exchange". After the second world war however, several countries and their respective currencies, started to shift away from the gold standard and migrated towards a fiat currency system. Today, gold remains largely a "Store of Value", and due to its unique properties and large number of use cases, it has managed to distance itself from other asset classes in terms of correlation, demand / supply drivers, and investment purpose. Gold's idiosyncrasies function as a double-edged sword, as it is challenging to predict ...
