<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 1039759, member: 15588"]For me, buying investment-worthy bullion coins fulfills my old coin collecting gap. Call it "rationalized collecting" if you will. I once collected coins for fun (nothing wrong with that), but as time went on I could not justify paying $150.00 for a collector's coin that I could never sell for more than $50 (if lucky) as many dealers usually sell XFs at AU prices but will only buy back at XF or lower. Still, I enjoyed it. Bullion coins make me feel justified in "collecting" them in that I will likely get some substantial return on my investment. All of the gold I have was purchased when top price was less than $800 an ounce, and much of it for less than $600 - $700. If I sold today I would likely make money. So I now have a "collection" that may actually see returns if I ever need them. Plus, many of the bullion coins are pretty cool (I like the Canadian Maple Leaf). </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2 ounces...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
