<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2816625, member: 15588"]For me, numismatics and bullion go together and remain hard to separate definitively. Many numismatic items contain bullion, though they wouldn't likely get sold as bullion except as something such as "junk silver." Plus, some people collect bullion pieces, as the 1996 Silver Eagle and W burnished pieces suggest, giving them a layer of numismatic value. Plain old bullion, for me, appears in non-numismatic forms such as bars or rounds. But, some numismatic items, particularly gold coins, sell for bullion value and people buy them almost exclusively for bullion value (even some price guides simply state "BV" instead of a price for some items). So the distinction becomes really fuzzy and nebulous quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
