Bobby did you take note of this << Price premiums for ten tola (TT) gold bars in the Dubai bullion market have risen due to local shortages and a change in Indian tax laws that is expected to lead to a move to the yellow metal, traders said on Sunday.
Premiums for the benchmark TT bar - 3.746 ounces of 24 carat
gold - were quoted by traders at $5-6 over international spot
prices, compared to a typical premium of just $1.35. >>

It seems that we are starting to see a two tier price system. One price for "paper" gold and a significantly higher price for the real metal. I have noticed price premiums on gold and platinum bullion coins lately have gone up when compared to the quoted spot price as well.
