<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sio2ga, post: 2579160, member: 83570&quot;]It certainly isn&#039;t a gimmick: no trickery or deception.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>When I was young I bought some of the silver eagles and then went 30 years without buying more.&nbsp; About a year ago I started back collecting coins.&nbsp; Mainly eagles, Kennedy Halves, and silver bullion coins from every country (think Canada Maples, China Panda&#039;s, etc).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; One of the things I searched for was for a silver Krugerrand but I found out they didn&#039;t make them now or in the past.</p><p>I think a silver Krugerrand is a great idea.&nbsp;&nbsp; Luckily I have a friend in South Africa that visits the US every year so i will get him to get me a couple of the &quot;premium uncirculated&quot; direct from the mint for $43 each.&nbsp;&nbsp; I won&#039;t see him until February so i will probably get one for a lot more than that when they are offered as well as a proof coin.</p><p>I don&#039;t expect to make any money on this coin and I&#039;m buying it because I want it.&nbsp; It is the first coin of its type (and they may not make any more of them) so it might actually increase in value but that isn&#039;t a concern.&nbsp; I would imagine there are a lot of coin collectors that will be happy to get one of these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
