<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1159851, member: 29012&quot;]Welcome to CoinTalk! Don&#039;t get me wrong, I LOVE my numismatic coins. I am fonder of them than I am my bullion - however - I am very weighted toward bullion for one simple reason. Numismatic coins will only retain their value as long as the person you are trading with respects that value. In a worst case scenario, any hard nosed individual will be reluctant to give you more than melt value. Assuming that you always have a plethora of potential buyers, then I think numismatic coins will surely outpace bullion, but only based on rarity, for example as with Morgan dollars. You can get some at practically melt value, and others for thousands, and again, that assumes your buyer has knowledge of this value and agrees. (I was lucky enough to pick up some 40% Kennedy&#039;s for under melt value at my last coin show!) So it depends, and bullion is the safer bet for the most scenarios IMO. I do have my share of 1 oz collectible rounds as well, but I&#039;m not banking on getting more than melt for them. I just like to collect <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
