<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2464073, member: 76739"]I can say I agree with you as far as the counterfeit part goes. Indeed there are a lot of counterfeits out there, and you should buy from only a reputable bullion dealer. Now as far as the slabs coins go that's a personal choice. In a good economy you can actually make good money in slab coins, but in a depressed economy and money is tight those high values slab coins or only worth the value of what someone who has money is willing to pay you for that. And unfortunately in a depressed economy demand for these coins drop dramatically. And certain collectors take advantage of this. And when ever you need a reality check concerning the value of any United States currency. Go to your local bank whichever bank you choose, throw down a $50 gold piece and tell the teller you want change. She or he will asked you how you would like your $50 in change. Even though we know that $50 Gold coin is worth melt weight value. The bank is only going to honor what is printed on the coin. And don't get me started on silver certificates. In summation in a good economy slab coins are a good investment for resale. But in a depressed economy you will be depressed on the value of that slab coin.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
