<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 129328, member: 3011&quot;]I look for items that are completely overlooked and unwanted and therefore relatively inexpensive, but with potential collector value.&nbsp; Up until recently, the gold commemorative coins fit this description.&nbsp; I bought a number of them [slabbed and original packaging] from the 1980s below bullion value, when it was much lower than today&#039;s bullion value.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t really scarce enough to attract attention now, but may be appreciated more by the next generation of collectors [or the one after that].&nbsp; I found it odd that you could buy a PF69 gold commem under melt value, but a PF69 gold bullion coin would sell for a premium.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure that pricing will remain in the future.&nbsp; The gold commems from the 90s have lower mintages [a plus] but higher premiums [a minus].</p><p><br /></p><p>Platinum coins might be worth a look because the mintages are low.&nbsp; The half ounce gold eagle might appreciate because it is the only $25 denomination ever made and will be needed for a lot of future type sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the silver commems are overpriced, probably because they are more popular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
