Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1922747, member: 26302"]One, you are assuming the purchaser only owns these. What if a prospective buyer, like me, spends hundreds a month on collectible coins already? You say the premiums are low,  but they are still high versus most pm items. In this case,  its at least an extra ounce per puck you are giving up with this premium. I thought I was being "smart" and combining collectiblity and bullion back in the 90's. I was paying a premium for junk barbers and SL quarters. I thought this was smart by combining both bullion and collectibility. I was wrong. I wish I would have bought the cheapest junk possible, so that today I would have more ounces of silver. In some ways bullion is on one side of the road, and collectible coins are on the other side of the road. By combining them, its like you are wandering aimlessly in the center of the road, which is a good place to get smacked by a Peterbilt. So, no, I disagree and will continue to disagree with anyone saying there is ONLY one way to collect bullion. Its simply untrue. MAYBE what you predict will come true, but maybe not. If these drop back to bullion value, everyone who bought them will wish they had bought cheap bullion instead, just like me with those barbers and SL quarters.[/QUOTE]
