<p>[QUOTE="Clint, post: 1363074, member: 34620"]Well, there's bullion, then there's bullion with collector value. For instance, if you bought a new AGE in hopes it would become a key date. Then you could just hold it if it's not, as bullion. Think also of the 25th silver eagle set scenario. Then consider the Britannia, which used to be limited mintage, but sadly now is not. You can get that gorgeous design for $40 in 2012, but it will probably never increase like all previous years. Then consider a 2012 "Roo at sunset," which has the low mintage, but you're already paying the premium...not unlike paying $70 for an ASE proof. I think collecting bullion is great when combined with stated mintage limits, and especially with a predictable timeframe, like the recent silver Canadian wildlife series (wolf, bear, cougar...) Some people like the gold presidential spouses for this reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main question is: what is your purpose? You say "collecting bullion," which I assume you contrast to "stacking." I think that's fine, but if you don't have a definite strategy (e.g. Eric Jordan), then at least be sure you enjoy looking at it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
