<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1283418, member: 25357&quot;]Gold and silver bullion coins have certainly been a great investment over the last 10 years or so.&nbsp; But again you are talking two different investment categories, driven by two different markets; Rare/collectible coins versus bullion.&nbsp; Rare coins can be an investment, but that market is driven by collectors, who are willing to pay a premium for the specific rare coin in question.&nbsp; One common piece of advice you will hear about investing in rare coins is to buy quality; purchase a key date coin, in a popular series, in the best condition that you can afford.</p><p><br /></p><p>Precious metals in the form of bullion coins, are driven by the market price of silver or gold.&nbsp; This market is equally tough to predict, however we are now in the middle of one of the biggest Precious Metal bull markets in recent memory.&nbsp; If you buy large quantities now, you might be getting in at or near the top.&nbsp; Then again the bull may have a ways to run yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s tough to predict which one will be a better investment over a given period of time, because there are so many different variables that affect each different market.&nbsp; So I think the best advice is buy what you like, and be prepared to hold onto one or the other for the long haul.&nbsp; Generally investing in coins and bullion for the long term, and I mean 5-20 years or more, will increase your chances of getting a positive return on your investment.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because it allows you more flexibility to decide when to get out, ie when to sell so you can cash in on your investment.&nbsp; Chances are the value of each investment will fluctuate up and down over time.&nbsp; You want to sell when the value is up.&nbsp; Increasing your time horizon generally increases the amount of peaks along the x axis on the sine curve.&nbsp; You want to sell at the peaks and buy on the dips.</p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
