I definitely agree it will in time have an effect on the precious metals market..
I have never seen a gold coin in person, thinking of maybe getting one gold maple leaf (canadian), but the premium is crazy (like 8% with shipping).
Is it heavy and shiny, lol? If I get one, it would be just for the sake of curiosity.
I tried to buy a silver coin on Amazon via Purse. It had a 20% premium so I asked for a 20% discount. Nobody bit.
