Silver Eagle $6 over spot
90% Half dollars 20x
5g bars $8
Takus $8 over
1/10 Gold and Platinum Eagles Spot plus 20% ($168)
New generic rounds arriving today $2.50 over


My LCS was offering 90% (including halves) at 20 X. I also picked up a 1/10 ounce Maple for $160. I don't believe he had ASEs as he is having trouble with his source. He also shows up at my local Flea Market once a week. There was another table at that same Flea market with a fair amount 90% and some ASEs. His prices? 24 x on the 90% and $36 on the ASEs.

FYI there is at least one LCS in Sac that doesn't charge tax on cash purchases. Granted that is not just down the street for you, but thought i'd throw it out there.

Called LCS - they have eagles ($2.50 over)! Got in the car and headed that way. Clerk let me know that the next person who walked in bought them all. :(

But I did grab these for $4.

That's a great price they probably only had a couple in inventory if they were selling them that cheap. My LCS is $7.00 over spot.

Made it to my LCS yesterday.

90% - 17.61 x FV
ASE - $26.91
Maple/Onza/Philharmonic - $26.61

Talked to one of the guys for a bit. He said they were wiped out of generic rounds. Someone had brought in 1000 of them earlier in the day, and they only had 200 of those left. I bought the last of their dimes ($3.00), but it looked like they still had a lot of quarters (don't know about halves, but they charge an additional premium on those).
