<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4183, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;d certainly disagree with that. You could talk to a WHOLE BUNCH of collectors and dealers who went broke buying gold &amp; silver coins in the &#039;70s &amp; &#039;80s. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There would be some who would argue that point too. Especially since there are quite a few of these fiat money coins with minatges of 500 million that are now and have been for the past 30 or 40 yrs selling for hundreds and often thousands of dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now with is type of comment I&#039;d never argue. By all means - let any collector collect whatever he or she wishes and for whatever reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you should also be aware that there are a great many in the numismatic community that consider American Gold, Silver &amp; Platinum Eagles as not being collectible. They are considered by these folks to be nothing but a hunk of bullion that will never achieve a value beyond their intrinsic value.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point I&#039;m making of course is that one thing is valuable to one person for a given reason while to the next person it has no value at all. It&#039;s just depends on who you are and what you like. And as long as it has value to you - does it matter ?</p><p><br /></p><p>And as for the paper notes still being in circulation in a few years - well you might want to consider that the first currency note was put into circulation back in 118 BC. So I kinda think the idea might stick around&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
