<p>[QUOTE="coinage86, post: 212715, member: 7584"]If the silver eagles are supposed to move with the price of bullion, whats the point of the mint making them? whats the point of buying them? I could just buy silver troy-ounce bars!! ....I still say coins are investing, if you buy quality, and not crap, and not buying crap, is buying top-tier slabs, so theres no risk of some old-timer's over-grading. rule of investing: dont invest too much in one thing. ...Ive heard for years how the stamp market is in the crap pile!! but if you look on ebay, the rarer stamps still get some big prices. not book prices. but if a stamp is in the book for $1500, on ebay it will still get $500 to $800. I would think the big risk is the big jumps to $1500 or more, from a couple of hundred bucks, like the 1880-o morgan. $300 in MS-63. $1500 or more in MS-65. Will the MS65 hold its value? will the MS60 hold its value at $50? Will the MS62 hold its value at $125? I would say more likely than the outrageously expensive ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
