I buy these metals and the dealer I get them from sells them for his premium markup and then if you were going to sell it.....it still gets the market price of the gold or silver minus his purchase commission/fee to buy. If the item doesnt have any serialized markings and specific name of the company that minted and it doesnt have the security packaging....then the metal is open to scrutiny by the potential buyer. But its still worth what the market price of the metal is on the day being sold. All brokers have differeing fee's for them to buy from you....so they will likely give you less than what they can buy it for from their wholesale dealers. Its always easier for "you" to buy.....but gets harder for "you" to sell at a price that you think its worth.

Okay thanks Leo.  I kind of figured someone else would get a little piece of the pie also .

from what I have seen....the buyback premium they charge is much greater than the premium that you pay to buy

Not sure I know what I'm talking about but...

It is may understanding, that if said gold is not a known mint (gov) that minted the coin it will need to be assayed as to it's real value
Knowing that your referring to bullion essentially I would assume the same unless it has a non-entry packaging
I would think the buyer would want an assay to determine value, taking their cut, buying or not
Inquire with a couple reputable gold dealers, they would know
Maybe
