Agreed! I posted this in the other thread yesterday showing the differences even between sovereign coins:Premiums on American Eagles right now are nuts.
I suspect many people would be more inclined to accept something recognizable as an American coin over a round....junk silver seems ( to me ) to be the best, most easily accepted medium of exchange...dealers and people who dabble in precious metals are a different storyIf people who don't know much about PMs would question a content-labeled round or bar as possibly counterfeit, why wouldn't they do the same for Eagles or other sovereign mint products? A few have anti-counterfeit measures, but many don't and inexperienced people wouldn't know to look for them anyway.
