[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4516984, member: 73489"]Look, if you are buying silver to appreciate based STRICTLY on the price of silver, you want raw ungraded silver that is as close to spot as possible. If you are OK with paying a premium for slabbed silver...if you want proofs or ultra cameos and maybe an MS70 or MS69...then you'll pay a premium, just make sure you're paying FMV. [B]I disagree with those here who say your coins if you want to sell them will sell for melt.[/B] That's your WORST CASE scenario. They will almost certainly sell for a premium, you just DON'T KNOW what that premium will be. So if you like a certain coin for aesthetic reasons, as long as you can live with getting melt value down the line, then it's OK to buy -- like a piece of art. The more you are buying for an investment, the more you probably want to keep the premium low. Ultimately, it's a matter of your choice based on numismatic value and investment value.[/QUOTE]
