<p>[QUOTE=&quot;QuarterEagle, post: 107440, member: 4780&quot;]I agree but when the US issued coins/paper backed by precious metals the government fixed the price of gold/silver to the $.&nbsp; If a citizen wanted to collect the gold/silver and sell it in the open market b/c the values had diverged then they could.&nbsp; However, this guy is selling coins with $ amount on the face (e.g. $10) backed by silver.&nbsp; If silver prices get halved, the owner of the coin just paid $10 for $5 worth of silver.&nbsp; I am not sure how the buyer&#039;s purchasing power is preserved in this scenario.&nbsp; Coin collector or not, this is not a good purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want invest in silver buy US government issued coins.&nbsp; Or any other government issued bullion coins.&nbsp; If nothing else you own a put at the face value of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
