<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 429154, member: 112&quot;]This is my opinion, most collectors feel that the bullion coins are just a hunk of precious metal - not even real coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is not an opinion, nor is it a condemnation - merely facts. As it is, only a few of them, gold, silver or platinum, have any numismatic value at all. There is a small collector base out there of people who do collect these coins. And it is that small base that keeps what premiums there are in place. </p><p><br /></p><p>But what happens if that base fades away ? As little as 10 years ago it didn&#039;t even exist. And the majority of those people who make up that base have only been collecting a short time. And they tend to drift away once they discover that most coin dealers, and most collectors, really don&#039;t want anything to do with the bullion coins. And then they start collecting coins that were actually used in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can also tell you this, values for the slabbed bullion coins were higher in 2002 than they are now (excepting bullion content). Prices have been falling steadily for 6 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
