<p>[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1335010, member: 18157"]Back when silver was $7/Oz, I was loading up on Unc rolls of US coins from 1953-1963. I could get OBW rolls for about 25% over spot. Sure, I could have gotten raw bullion for less than that, but it doesn't have any numismatic potential. I find that when US coins hit about the 70 year mark, they get a numismatic bounce. Take Mercury dimes, for instance...ten years ago the 1940-1945 coins were held in very low esteem. Now that the first ones are hitting the 70 year mark, you're starting to see a bump in prices. That will likely happen over the next 10-20 years for the rest of the silver coinage...(imho). I bought a $250 brick (50 rolls) of OBW 1955-s dimes @ $37/roll. That was WAY over the going rate at the time ($32/roll), but it just seemed like a good long term investment. That's the kind of PMs I like...numismatic PMs. Even if silver goes back to $7/Oz...or lower, I still get a numismatic return on the investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
