<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 971593, member: 26302"]Tough one. I would disagree with Doug slightly in that I do think the price of gold has a lot to do with the prices of these. When PM go up, gold coins go up disproportionately since many who start buying gold move to coins. When gold was cheap there still was a numismatic premium, but it was about equal percentage wise versus gold, not absolute dollars. Neither of the options are scarce by any means, so I think the more gold the more security the investment would have. AU $5 used to be almost twice the price of AU $2.5's. I think that is fairer so I would definitely go for a nice looking AU $5. Try to find coins that are attractive versus absolute grade, meaning an attractive 55 I think would be better than a blotchy toned 58. If you like it other collectors will too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion but I don't have as much experience as Doug, I have only been around coins 30 years, I think Doug was there when Kroisus invented them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
