If you sell someone, something ... they need to make a profit when they resell it. I had a guy that was working on 2%-3% on gold coins, but he was the exception. 5% is the more likely number.

The premium over Spot, is based on the specific coin. I don't think Krugerrands have the same premium as American Gold Eagles for example. Maybe they do in South Africa?
