The built in hedge is there when you buy bullion near melt value. Paying premiums far exceeding melt value is not hedging because you could lose ~80% of the value if collectibility is no longer part of the game. This is why I didn't attempt to buy any of these, and also steer clear of graded coins unless I can get them for the same price as a regular coin. Collectibility is a luxury that some people can afford to pay for, and for those who are into it there's nothing wrong with that, but it is not an investment any more than buying 5 regular ASE's. If a day should come where necessities take precedence over luxuries then owners of these sets will be hard pressed to get their value out. If I had one I would keep it, but if I had more than that I'd be selling while demand is high. This looks just like the ATB hype all over again, and look where the price of those are now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
