Market Forces Create Changes in Supply Demand and Prices
Supply and demand for gold coins in general, and different types of gold coin change constantly. Often these changes are very slight, but even small changes can have a cumulative effect. Although it might sound ridiculous, fashion also plays a part, and this can be influenced by media comments.
We try to avoid changes most of our web pages, so we have created this page to note any recent changes, some of which may be quite transient and of short duration.
Premiums Fluctuate Of course, the underlying gold price also moves up and down, which can make comparison more difficult. The easiest way to compare value is to look at the premium, the amount over and above the intrinsic gold price. We usually express this as a percentage.
