<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Original Skin Coins, post: 2464487, member: 80261&quot;]Those are two totally different investments. I cannot really speak to precious metals investment, other than that to say you will see worse returns over time with that than if you just put your money in the stock market. Numismatic coins are also not typically a great investment unless you are at the level where you can afford very high-value rare coins. Otherwise, numismatics should be considered a hobby rather than an investment.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would not recommend buying bulk lots off national bullion dealers like APMEX in search of high-quality coins. You may find the occasional better-than-average coin, but you will find many more problem/cleaned coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure specifically what articles you&#039;re reading, but chances are they are written by people who have a vested interest in seeing precious metal prices increase. Look in any major newspaper and you will find an ad screaming that <b>now</b> is the time to invest in gold - the companies that run those ads run them continuously regardless of the trend of bullion prices, only changing their messaging. If gold is dropping in value, they&#039;ll claim it&#039;s a historical, can&#039;t-miss bargain, and if it&#039;s rising, they&#039;ll tout the amazing returns that gold has delivered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
