<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2651762, member: 34882"]This is true with most anything but especially with bullion or bullion masquerading as 'collectibles'. I'd recommend anyone new avoid the various collector bullion rounds. If you like them then sure collect what you like, but don't expect to make money or think they are investments. There are going to be lots of people ticked even if silver reaches 40/oz when they can't sell their 'insert artsy silver round here' for 3x what they paid. And instead get offered spot or a few dollars over which is less than these rounds costs to buy when they sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>In general numismatic coins hold their value much better and are less subject to swings in pm prices and are thus a much more stable play imo. I've always made out better with numismatic plays versus bullion ones. Despite starting out having a main focus on bullion I quickly moved into numismatic coins and have done much better there. Certain numismatic coins are also extremely liquid if you stick with key dates, etc you'll have no issue finding a buyer when necessary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
