Record 2 1997-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Coins and Bank Notes
  • Numismatics
  • Coining
OBS

A coin can have as many as five values depending on the context. "Face value", or "nominal value", is the denomination of the coin. "Intrinsic value" is the melt value of the metallic content of a coin and, for gold or silver coins, is usually greater than face value. "Wholesale value" is what a dealer will pay to own a piece for his business for eventual resale. "Retail value" is what a typical collector will pay to own the coin. "Esteemed value" is the highest possible price that a collector might pay for a piece and this price is influenced not just by how rare or non-competitive the coin might be but also by a certain amount of emotion on the part of the buyer. Certain coins with "pedigree" may also be classed here.

OBS

See related term: pricing rare coins.

OBS

Pas moins de cinq valeurs peuvent être rattachées à une pièce de monnaie de collection : la «valeur nominale» ou «valeur faciale», celle inscrite sur la pièce; la «valeur intrinsèque», celle du métal qu'elle contient; la «valeur en gros» dont l'éventuel détaillant paiera le prix; la «valeur au détail» dont l'acheteur paiera le prix; et la «valeur d'appréciation» représentant le montant le plus élevé qu'un collectionneur est prêt à payer, souvent basé beaucoup plus sur une valeur affective que sur la valeur au marché.

CONT

The price of gold on April 5 is US$ 390 per troy ounce. An investor is of the opinion that it may very well rise in the next few months. He does not own gold and is faced with the alternative of either buying gold outright through a gold dealer(i. e., in the cash market) or investing in gold options. Unwilling to tie up too much capital in buying gold, he decides to buy ten gold call options-each gold option is for ten troy ounces of gold-which give him the right to buy 100 troy ounces of gold at US$ 425 per troy ounce until the Saturday following the third Friday in August(10 gold calls/Aug/425).

Key term(s)

CONT

Le prix de l'or, le 5 avril, est de 390 $ US l'once troy. Un investisseur est d'avis que ce prix peut très bien monter au cours des mois qui vont suivre. Il ne possède pas d'or et il doit donc décider s'il faut acheter de l'or (sur le marché au comptant) ou investir dans des options sur l'or. Comme il ne tient pas à immobiliser une trop grande partie de son capital en achetant de l'or, il décide d'acheter dix options d'achat (chacune porte sur dix onces troy d'or) qui lui donnent le droit d'acheter 100 onces troy d'or à 425 $ US jusqu'au samedi suivant le troisième vendredi d'août (10 options d'achat or/août/425).

DEF

Dealers purchase gold on their own account and then sell it to an investor, or vice versa. They have a position in the gold market at all times. They may be "short" gold(they have a net debt in gold) or they may be "long" gold(they possess gold). A dealer makes his money on the "spread", the difference between the price at which he purchases gold and what he can sell it for. He usually does not charge a commission for the transactions you conduct through him. In North American, dealers operate primarily in gold bullion, gold certificates, and coinage.
