<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1746805, member: 19065&quot;]By this reasoning then your 200 year old coin will be 400 years old and still worth more than these high mintage, non-rarity, manufactured collectibles that will be protected by most owners for their lifetime, as opposed to the coin that survived about 200 before it came into modern collecting care... Similarly your 200 year old coin is much scarcer than it&#039;s original mintage today, most likely, and has garnered a premium. The new Mint products are yet to earn anything of retail or what a wholesale slabbing dealer markup is offering them for now. What with silver spot falling it&#039;s also depressing collector premiums, so there&#039;s little margin for the usual slam dunk of flipping these on eBay or at coin shows upon release.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, there are low mintage years of bullion AGE (in various denominations) that hold their own with numismatic versions and carry a collector premium. The buyer of these plain bullion AGE have done very well compared to paying significant US Mint numismatic product mark ups. The eagle program is bound to change at some point in time, probably any year now as the Mint is exhausting it&#039;s reserves of anniversary years and various packaging gimmicks to sell the numismatic version to collectors for stiff premiums. When the eagle program ceases or changes designs, bullion coins will begin to be seen under a new light and since most are neglected, those which are cared for may well take on the numismatic premium that most say bullion could never have.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone indeed has their own way of doing things, but when everyone else is drinking kool-aid or suggesting that NIFC coins are more likely to be winners because they were marketed as collectibles and sold to collectors, it&#039;s worth taking a second look at what people are ignoring now so you can start preparing for your heirs 200 years hence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
