<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steamandlight, post: 2464468, member: 56876&quot;]I&#039;ve been considering selling a large (large for me, at least) amount of the silver I&#039;ve been collecting pretty much my whole life. Starting to really look at PM markets for the first time, and have realized this rabbit hole might not have a bottom! My mind is reeling right now - this is the first time I&#039;ve ever read market analysts or exchange reports. What I am taking away from all of it, the information I&#039;ve gleaned, is that I&#039;m likely better off holding onto what I have - and even increasing my stockpile - if I do not need the cash immediately, if I can resist short term profits and hold out for the long haul.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that in the end it&#039;s got to be my own decision, I cannot rely on someone else&#039;s opinion on whether to sell or hold. I have 2 questions, though. Or maybe 3. </p><p><br /></p><p>Number one, the easiest (hopefully) question of all... Is numismatic silver or bullion silver better for investing long term? Or is there no real difference? If I wanted to trade my numismatic silver for bullion, would that simply be melt-for-melt value, or would one side hold a premium?</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, and related, question - if any of you have ever bought the large FV lots of silver coins off of APMEX, is the stuff they provide completely picked through already, or might it be a good way to hunt for some decent coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally... the articles I have been reading have all been making outrageous claims such as &#039;$10k gold and $150 silver is coming&#039;. Being brand new to reading this stuff, my question would be - have they ALWAYS talked like this? Do these analysts, or whomever, always make huge claims? Or do they actually say different things at different times, actually analyzing trends? I&#039;m not asking how accurate they are, just whether they actually TRY to be accurate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
