[QUOTE="fivespot, post: 308928, member: 11494"]Thanks guys. See, when I first started out, I had it in my head that it might be better for a beginner to start with modern bullion coins, simply because at the very least, they'd retain their metal value. And that's where I ran into a problem. I'm still afraid of paying more for a coin than the actual metal value. I have a hard time considering paying 4, 5, maybe even 10x the coin's metal value. I thought with modern bullion coins, well I buy the coin new and hold on to if for a while. If it turns out the metal price rises, and also the coin happens to be rare in time to come, well all that's just an added bonus. But it doesn't seem to work that way anymore, whereas like I mentioned earlier, some graded bullion coins wtih high points are quite rare, and they were minted only 15-20 years ago.[/QUOTE]
