<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 970621, member: 18828&quot;]I started out just buying plain gold and silver bullion in January 2007 and just bought the usual stuff but I turned in to a silver art bar collector in August 2008 and I started to look at my collection as something that I like to do. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My silver art bars are not an investment to me because I am very emotionally attached to my collection. I true investor is not supposed to be emotionally attached to their investments. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only time that I really care about spot price is when I go to the local coin shop or the local coin show and I want to see what premium over spot that I will be paying. For me spot does not matter but the premium that I pay over spot does matter to me a lot especially when I am buying silver art bars because I want to pay the lowest premium over spot.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>People buy gold and silver for different reasons.&nbsp; Some buy it for preserving wealth.&nbsp; Some buy it as an investment and have strategies on how to make money on it.&nbsp; Some people buy gold and silver as prepping for an Armageddon scenario and think that gold and silver will become money again.&nbsp; Some people, such as myself, just buy gold and silver to collect certain coins and bars and do not care about profit.&nbsp; They enjoy just looking at it and researching what they can about a particular gold or silver coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
