<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyingsilvers, post: 1308623, member: 18821&quot;]I disagree.&nbsp; Numismatic coins, like any other collectible worth collecting should retain value over time.&nbsp; Of course the value may fluctuate up or down, just like the value of bullion should fluctuate, but they should retain value over time.&nbsp; If not, you overpaid or bought into a fad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Example?&nbsp; You buy a 1938-D half dollar for $100 and a set of 20 uncirculated $1 presidental coins for $100.&nbsp; One of them will hold value and should increase.&nbsp; The other should always be worth only face value.&nbsp; If you like the presidential dollars, you should try to find a way to get them close to face value (such as at a bank or directly from the mint)</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, i really wasn&#039;t trying to be an ******* with my comment earlier.&nbsp; I like items which you could probably call &quot;numismatic bullion&quot;.&nbsp; A lot of stuff made by the perth mint would fit into this category with very high prices, beautiful designs, and limited mintage.&nbsp; But like I said, you try sell any of it to a dealer, and he&#039;ll give you an offer that is insulting.&nbsp; To actually get a chunk of that premium you originally paid, you&#039;re going to have to find a private collector willing to pay the full price, which may or may not be easy.&nbsp; Highly limited mintage means the item is rare, but if it&#039;s limited across the entire series, it probably means that the collector base for them is extremely small as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
