Reprint from Numismatist

Bullion and the Numismatic Zoo

Maybe I've been in the sun a bit too long, but I always thought the whole idea of buying bullion-related items was to purchase them as close to "melt" value as possible. Apparently there aren't many investors who share that notion any more.

Items with significant numismatic value usually carry a significant nu¬ mismatic premium far above bullion or face value. If the spot price of silver shoots to $100 an ounce, you still won't find anyone selling 1894-S dimes at only a buck over spot, even if the coins don't come housed in tightly sealed plastic slabs.

The values of rare silver and gold coins are not based on the daily fluc¬ tuations in the bullion market, but rather on general trends of numismatic demand. Auctions, as well as dealer-to- dealer and dealer-to-customer transac¬ tions, set the prices. Yet, many "com¬ mon" bullion pieces also are priced far above their intrinsic values these days. We're talking numismatic zoo here — Eagles, Pandas, Tigers, and even Rabbits and Rats.

When the American Eagle fractional gold pieces first took flight, some retail buyers happily paid 40 percent or more above the intrinsic value of the coins just to be the first on their block to own a specimen or two. Even now, when you can easily obtain enough pieces to pay Bill Cosby's weekly salary, the pre¬ mium still is 20 percent or more above

How about those cute Pandas I The Chinese are mighty clever.

melt value for the ‘/to-ounce coins. A Canadian Maple Leaf of comparable weight costs maybe 8 percent less.

Then there are those gosh-damed cute Chinese Pandas that sell quickly, even though the 1 -ounce coins com¬ mand at least 20 percent above melt and the */io-ounce baby Pandas sell for an incredible 70 percent above. Some deep-pocket buyers are even eager to spend a zillion dollars for gold Pandas weighing a full pound each. Mighty clever, those Chinese!

Or, how about the hors d'oeuvres- sized 10-ounce Isle of Man crowns, the Swiss Helvetias and Singapore's series commemorating the animals of the Chmese lunar calendar. All of them sell for considerably more than $ 1 over spot.

3

(The Singapore Mint's 1987 "Year of the | Rabbit" is kind of appealing, but I'll j pass on the issue for 1984 — the "Year of the Rat.")

As I write this column, it's too early to determine if investors are getting stoned on the new Australian nuggets. Maybe Aussie actor and pitchman Paul Hogan should tout those, too.

Obviously, there's a successful mar¬ ket for all these items, for they're con¬ stantly being advertised. Sometimes the promotional efforts hint at potentially huge profits for investors, sometimes they strongly suggest your children will never attend college if you don’t buy an entire set of coins (from 'ho ounce to 5 kilos, both uncirculated and proof, all housed in a custom mahogany holder).

Perhaps the strangest of the so-called bullion pieces are those from the so- called Hutt River Province. The "prov¬ ince" actually is about 18,000 acres of land owned by Leonard Casley along Australia's Hutt River. Casley has pro¬ claimed himself "Prince Leonard” and,

I'll pass on Singapore's "Year of the Rat" issues, thank you.

much to the dismay of the Royal Aus¬ tralian Mint, has issued all kinds of "coins" that are marketed for prices far in excess of both their face and bullion values. (Several cigar-puffing aldermen in the Chicago City Council probably kicked themselves for not coming up with a money-making gim¬ mick like that.)

Surely, the most unusual in this series is a $30 silver piece commemo¬ rating the unmanned SkyLab space sta-

Bulhon from the Hutt River Province— "Tally Ho SkyLab

tion that crash-landed in western Aus¬ tralia in 1979. The obverse carries a por¬ trait of Prince Leonard; the reverse shows the space station with the in¬ scription TALLY HO SKYLAB.

Friends and business acquaintances repeatedly ask me about some of these non-circulating, legal-tender issues.

"They're only going to strike 5,000 of them,” an associate gleefully explains with order form in hand. "Yes," I reply, "and only 1,000 people in the secondary market will want to buy one of them two years from now.”

Why not label some of these modem issues "BULLion"?

Thanks

to Mr. Bong Kim for his entry in the Club Ear or Round. T took the Liberty to place the design on the Cover of this Months Bugle...
