<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1184636, member: 26030&quot;]if you are a coin collector as well as an accumulator of bullion, then buying older coins does have some appeal.&nbsp; In my accumulation of bullion over the past 30 years, i have bought the spectrum of coins:&nbsp; from massive numbers of ASE&#039;s --to additional premium coins such as rolls of uncirculated peace and morgan dollars, bags of circulated franklin, walker, and barber halfs, circulated merc dimes.&nbsp; I bought these latter coins because I found them &quot;interesting&quot; and they are a bit more fun to look at that all those freshly minted ASE&#039;s.&nbsp; One thing I have noticed though, if you think silver is going much higher, and you are buying silver as an &quot;investment&quot; to make money as silver prices rise, stick with the ASE&#039;s over all other forms of bullion.&nbsp; They rise in concert with the price of silver -- while coins you pay a higher premium for tend to have their margin premium squeezed as silver prices rise so they dont rise in value as much.&nbsp;&nbsp; However if you are a collector of coins, you might get more enjoyment out of these older U.S. coins -- but I dont think they are as good of an investment vehicle as the ASE, based purely on a rise in bullion prices.&nbsp; Just my opinion!&nbsp; By the way, there is a real shortage of ASE&#039;s right now -- so it wouldnt surprise me to see the margin premium continue to rise on ASE&#039;s over the years.&nbsp; Also you could attempt to buy some ASE&#039;s from the lower mintage years from the mid 1990&#039;s -- right now they are not that much more than the common later years and they could develop much larger premiums in the decades ahead.</p><p><br /></p><p>a final benefit of ASE&#039;s as they will be the easiest to resell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
