<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cphine, post: 746148, member: 20940&quot;]Hey, and welcome to the world of bullion!&nbsp; </p><p>You definately didn&#039;t get &quot;ripped off&quot;, but there are places where you could have purchased for less.&nbsp; Of course then shipping, etc, could have added some right back.&nbsp; So indeed, don&#039;t worry about that.&nbsp; Be proud of yourself for buying!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is my opinion though, and I know others will disagree.</p><p>I sepparate my bullion investment from my numismatics.&nbsp; Especially in modern issues (the silver and gold eagles, etc) they are not going to see very much in the way of circulation.&nbsp; Everyone buys them and into the bank vault they go.&nbsp; The value of high MS quality coins I don&#039;t think will dramatically increase the future price of the coin relative to how the metal is trading at any given time.&nbsp; They will largely be affected by spot pricing.&nbsp; If everyone has an MS69 or MS70 coin, the value really isn&#039;t there.&nbsp; It&#039;s not like finding a rediculously high quality Barber Half Dollar where the difference between an MS60 and an MS67 can be well over $20,000.</p><p>It&#039;s not just grade, but rarity in the grade that affects future performance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I buy my bullion for bullion and save the extra costs on the slabbing because I just can&#039;t convince myself it is worth it in the long haul...I&#039;d rather have more gold and silver.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, that is one guys opinion, and I&#039;m still a newbie myself.</p><p>Again, welcome to the world of real money!&nbsp; I bet you won&#039;t be able to help yourself checking spot prices every day now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
