Premium Tracker FAQ
Are the premium rows live market data?
The calculator works from user input. Any reference rows should be treated as manually updateable examples unless CoinHub connects a verified data feed.
Why are Silver Eagles usually higher premium than generic rounds?
Brand recognition, mint source, demand, supply, and dealer spreads can all affect premium.
Is premium the same as profit?
No. Premium is price over spot. Profit depends on your buy price, sell price, fees, and spread.
