[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 160736, member: 3011"]You're going to get a lot of different answers on this. I consider myself about 2/3 investor and 1/3 collector, so take that into account when reading my response, which is nothing but my opinion. If your goal is "investment," then you should be purchasing gold and silver bullion coins for as close to spot price as possible. Buying high grade coins with large numismatic premiums is not investing in my opinion, and it had better be very psychologically satisfying and a lot of fun for you because there is no guarantee that it will be financially rewarding. I think you're on the wrong track if the goal is investment and you should slow down before spending a lot of money, then regretting it.
