<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 125249, member: 3011&quot;]I have always been a believer in collecting gold coins that sell at modest premiums to the bullion value for this very reason.&nbsp; It is often better to own two lower mint state coins than one higher mint state coin for the same money.&nbsp; I know that common wisdom is to buy the best you can afford, but when I check prices between 1980 and 2005 this doesn&#039;t seem to be the case.&nbsp; There are exceptions for certain dates, but in general the price performance is similar on a percentage basis, so owning a larger number of ounces for the same cash outlay is safer than relying on continuing and expanding numismatic premiums.&nbsp; Of course, this won&#039;t be satisfactory for collectors who want only the best, but it works for me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
