The largest markup seen on a coin, Weiner said, was 208 percent above the melt value.</b></i>Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466059072530968330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24005214.post-80411280027011942722010-05-20T20:30:43.257+01:002010-05-20T20:30:43.257+01:00I have bought from Goldline in 3 forms.

You both are using the 90% more than they're worth number but the coins I bought this morning were $1,244.45 per ounce. I bought 25 - .5 oz Kruggerands and paid $99 for shipping. I checked 5 other sites to buy gold and they ranged from $1,233.24 to $1,257.44. I guess I could've saved a couple bucks buying from Blanchard instead of GoldLine but that is my choice to buy from a source I've used for years. So I think you need to actually do your homework before you call someone out as ripping someone off. research stuff for yourself, don't be a lemming!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793807140944471911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24005214.post-58147829805432360682010-05-20T13:12:04.373+01:002010-05-20T13:12:04.373+01:00That's exactly what I thought.
