<<I also have taken note how the spread has risen on gold coins and bars. It could be nothing more than dealers trying to pass a little extra risk "holding" cost on.>> I am sure you are right on this point William, but it is only possible for the dealers to do this if there is healthy demand for physical gold plus a suspicion by both the dealers and the retail buyers that the quoted spot price is not the "real" price. It is always possible that we could get a "paper gold" price and a "real gold" price if there was a loss of confidence in "paper gold" which is really just another fiat currency...
