Having a leveraged contract permits the person purchasing to get delivery when they have fully paid the due balance. In a sense it is very similar to a futures contract. The leveraged contract developed at the end of the sixties due to the growth of investor awareness in the United States of America silver coins. At the time coin dealers would sell bags of United States coins to people on a money basis. Due to the fact that the most a buyer could lose was the difference involving the face value of the coins and the value of the silver substance of the coins. The customers would then finance the coin purchases guaranteeing the coins as a security for the loan that was made. This type of leverage business turned into something very accepted during the time of the past bull markets of precious metals.
