what recent silver bullion/coins do you guys think will have high numismatic value in the future.

No way to tell. I would think if you forced me to guess is low mintage commemoratives of the past few years could be decent buys, but there is simply no way of knowing if in the next few years mintages will not go even lower, making these coins not "low mintage".

Demand is the unpredicatable factor that is never knowable. How many people will be chasing the "set" of something in the future? I have no idea.

 

I know this doesn't help answer your question much because there really is no answer, as medoraman said. My approach is to just buy what appeals to me due to design, production quality, historical significance, personal memory, etc. That way, regardless of what happens, I always have a coin I like. Once in a great while, there will be something that comes along that is a pretty sure thing, but for the most part, it is really difficult to guess correctly.

 

Errors and reverse proofs just to name a couple.

 

Im kinda new at bullion collecting, what types of bullion normally resell with decently higher premiums then others when they're finished minting them.

i think the Britannia coins will have higher premiums as time goes by since they're mintage is already low and they're VERY nice looking coins. I personally love them.

and i also heard the older pandas are also decent. but I dont really like them, but my little brother does! lol

 

Also realize, if everyone knew that people would cherish say for example, the Barber series of coins, would they have hoarded or collected them during that era instead of spending them? Even if they did know that in 100 years people would pay premiums for them, it wouldn't matter to them because I'd imagine most of these people from that era are no longer alive.

 

Just look at the 1883 nickel for proof of what hoarding a "rare" coin will do to future values. If the general public views something as "rare" and "special" most likely it will never be valuable.

 

I like a lot of the world bullion coins also. Let's start with the ones that will not appreciate much typically. Those would be the Silver Eagle and the Maple Leaf.
As you mentioned, the Britannia does increase in value usually. For example, the 2009 (which is my favorite design of all of them) regularly sells for about $70.00+ on ebay. Beginning this year though, the 100,000 maximum annual mintage is being lifted, so who knows what the future will hold.

The Kookaburra has experienced decent appreciation. Here again, though, its 300,000 maximum annual mintage is being raised to 500,000 this year. The Panda is in the same situation in that the appreciation has been decent, but, in recent years, the mintage has gone from 600,000 to 6,000,000 to 8,000.000 this year.

I like the Koala also and the purchase price is less than the Kookaburra. I think it would be worth getting some of these, as the production quality is outstanding, as with the Britannia and the Kookaburra. Also, there is a lot of attention being paid to the Kookaburra and the lunar coins (in terms of Australian bullion), but not as much to the Koala. That could bode well for the Koala in the future.

If you are looking for price appreciation, I would say this. There are way too many Silver Eagles; there are many Maple Leafs and the production quality is not that great; the Canadian Wildlife series is a great idea, some of the designs are nice and they have a low mintage, but production quality is an issue again here; Libertads are very well-designed and are generally of good quality, but it seems collectors don't really chase them as they do other bullion, which again could be a good thing for this coin in the future; Philharmonics are boring and quality control is really lacking; Somalian Elephants have good designs, but also quality issues.

In general, if I wanted to collect world bullion for appreciation purposes as well as eye appeal, I would focus on the Koala, the Kookaburra, the Australian Lunar, the Britannia, the Panda and the Libertad.

 

If we're talking silver I agree with the post above mine.

 

Also true!

 

I would say the ASE NGC snowman labeled bullion coins.

 

2 ounces silver, hologram ring. Sold out before I could get one.

 

+1 And just look at the PDS 1955 Roosevelt dimes as well, price wise they're no better than the other years where they minted many millions more. If I would have to guess, the next big valued piece will be one that is circulated and nobody knows better as to the mintage rarity. For example the ATB quarters toward the end of its run, we can see dramatically low mintage numbers. Would sub 1m pieces for the final year run of the ATB quarters entice numismatics? Absolutely! Will they make it to the final year? The jury is still out on that one.

the spouse gold coins would be a good bet i think but it costs a bunch to collect them. very low mintage and not too popular now but that should change as they get near the end and people think about it. you do have the gold value to fall back on.

 

I do have an active bounty with my friends and family on the head of President Jefferson in the form of 2009 nickels just because I can't seem to find ANY in circulation. I've searched countless rolls and not come across a single one yet.

 

Philly minted 09's?

 

Pandas - Gold / Silver and any denomination. PCGS just opened an office in HK and NGC should do the same.

The PAGE (Pacific Asia Gold Exchange) will begin offering bullion to the masses in a couple of months. Once the Chinese begin to buy PM they will start collecting. The Panda, which is the Chinese equivalent of the American Eagle...But the Chinese have 4X our population!

 

are they going to be low mintages? if not why on earth would you say such a thing?

 

If the price of silver and gold go up high enough, i could see enough modern bullion, commemoratives and silver proof sets being melted to make them rare.
