<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3012045, member: 26302"]The premium for a world mint coin is two fold. One, it is somewhat numismatic, in that some people will want to collect them. However, the other part is so a dealer can recognize it as authentic when you go to sell. Go try to sell some bars to a dealer and see how they will pay you for them versus ASEs or maple leaves. The bars are discounted more heavily since they have more of a risk they are fake silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone who says the ONLY thing that matters when it comes to physical bullion investing is weight and purity of the metal I believe needs more education on the marketplace. No offense, but its more complicated than you are making it out to be sir. Selling well is in many times MUCH more important than buying well, and many buyers of bullion prefer minted coins over any other form of bullion, and will pay more for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>IF you are only buying silver to melt down someday and make your own items with it, of course the only thing that will matter is price per ounce.
