[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2801853, member: 71642"]No one can predict how prices will move, and either could be a good 'investment' only if you are willing to sell at some point. Or a bad investment. Either of your choices could be liquidated easily in case of an urgent need for funds, so [B]get the one that gives you the most satisfaction[/B]. If your only goal is to spend some money then a bullion ounce is fine--that is highly tradable at a coin show for example. Pre 1933 or non-US equivalent is fun/beautiful/interesting, but so might be filling that last spot in your Lincoln set. That is a personal thing. The only thing I would stay away from (unless it happens to be what [B]YOU[/B] like) is the so-called collectible or proof [U]modern[/U] bullion. Those would only garner you bullion prices in a fire sale or a reduced premium if you used it as a swap. Of course, if it's something that appeals to you (and I say that as the owner of a couple Britannias and double sovereign proofs) then go for it. But, those, as an 'investment', might hurt you the most in the end. Or not. I have no crystal ball.[/QUOTE]
