<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2157337, member: 15929&quot;]I am not a bullionist as well but lets not forget that one of the PRIMARY reasons that folks &quot;collect&quot; coins in the first place is for their intrinsic metal content also known as &quot;silver&quot;. If this were NOT true, then there would be hoards of coin collectors seeking to upgrade those 1971-1998 sets of Jeffersons,. Roosevelt, Washington&#039;s, Kennedy&#039;s and Eisenhower Dollars but I&#039;d bet even money, that folks do not search modern coinage for any reason other than to obtain &quot;silver&quot; (i.e. bullion based) coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Countless millions of dollars of per-1965 coinage is stored, bought, and sold for silver melt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both you and I know what happened in 1980 and most folks know what happened in 2011. That&#039;s a 31 year gap that the folks who bought in 1980 had to wait &quot;just to get their money back&quot;. Not a wise choice of speculation to which I am in complete agreement. But, when the fish are feeding, it&#039;s prudent to feed the fish which is how people make money in the &quot;bullion world&quot; AND it&#039;s not for everybody.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, in the course of purchasing &quot;bullion&quot;, whether its junk silver, Silver Eagles, or Silver Rounds, most folks will find something that they like for whatever reason(s). I happened across the Zombucks and it fell exactly into line with what I and many others liked at the time and still like. Kind of a cross between classic coinage designs and coin carving. Available in Silver and Copper bullion slugs, it eases my mind in knowing that should push come to shove, I&#039;d find it ewasier to sell them than I would come Coin Collecting Club&#039;s medallion or possibly a wooden nickel as there are bazillions of those out there which folks scoop up on a whim.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP is trying to stretch his &quot;buying dollar&quot; which could very well snap back into his face and many folks have warned him and educated him of just such an occurrence as there are no &quot;lasting&quot; sure things in coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
