[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 555248, member: 13342"]Good discussion, and I totally agree with you Billincolo. My same thoughts exactly given the current economy. I started out purchasing bullion, moved into more of a "collector" mentality, and now I'm doing a little of both. As far as US gold is concerned, the absolute best bang for buck IMO is modern $5 commemoratives. The last one I bought, an 1986 statue of liberty proof, I paid dead on spot for. Absolutely no premium. If you search on ebay, these can be had very very close to spot. The AGEs tend to sell at substantial premiums in comparison. As for silver, I like the 90% junk personally. It is easy to diversify due to the large amount of denominations, and it is very familiar. Not likely to be counterfeit(at least at this point). ASE's are gorgeous, but I also see them at substantial premiums. Still, a few ASE's would be good to have in a portfolio. BTW, I am by no means an investor; but I do a lot of looking around pricewise. This is purely an opinion, which is what you asked for.:D[/QUOTE]
