[QUOTE="buyingsilvers, post: 1490752, member: 18821"]^ Well if you tried to resell normal proofs, you'd be losing money. They go for around $50-60 on ebay.

The downside to collectible bullion is that it can take longer for you to realize its full value because there's not as many people willing to pay that price for it.
