<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigsWick, post: 406748, member: 3534&quot;]Cloud hit the nail on the head.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Common&quot; DEs (usually Libertys, but not always) can be had in low MS and high AU grades for a relatively small premium over melt. They possess a Numismatic quality that I believe few bullion coins will ever have. Furthermore, there is something truly special about owning a 100 plus year old gold coin- this history, the art, etc. Lightly circulated ones can be handled carefully too without lowering their Numismatic draw/value. This is something few folks will ever get with an AGE or a Buffalo. They are beautiful no question, but those coins will likely remain in a holders or capsules for decades to come, and their Numismatic upside is generally much more restricted.</p><p><br /></p><p>As has already been written, the value of bullion coins is more closely tied to the price of gold than are Libertys or Indians. Even with a decrease in the value of gold it is likely that true coins, one actually minted for circulation, will not &quot;suffer&quot; as much as will a round. Bottom line? It depends on your personal preference and what you hope to gain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
