<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 2462758, member: 31286&quot;]I certainly agree with what everyone has said, but I do have a personal theory/strategy for some of my coin purchases. Always one to measure downside risk of investments, I figure that collectible grade double eagles - type one&#039;s or Carson City $20&#039;s, for example - in grades that don&#039;t cost more than three time the gold content value -&nbsp; do provide some measurable hedge on downside risk - and even some hedging on gold prices because of the collector value that can tend to stabilize, or if you&#039;re lucky appreciate when gold goes down.&nbsp; But the catch, if you want to call it that, is that you have to put a considerable amount of time and energy into knowing/understanding the esoteric characteristics of the type of coins you are interested in.&nbsp; If you do that, it might be possible to consider large gold collectible coins as investments - more so than for silver or smaller gold collector pieces because of the higher percentage of gold content and lower percentage of subjective collector value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
