[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1115753, member: 26729"]It's been discussed so much, collecting for fun vs investing... If you want to collect coins, collect for fun. If you want to invest, and you are dead set on PMs, buy bullion. Investing in coins for the purpose of investing almost never works out. Yes, you hear about some big winners, but those are almost always happy accidents. A true coin collector has a chance at some wins, but if they are honest, they have had far more losses. It's like buying lottery scratch-offs. Yeah, someone tells you they won 50 bux, but don't tell you about the 1000s that they bought that were losers. They do it because they are addicted... Like a TRUE collector is addicted to the coins, but not going to prove a good investor.[/QUOTE]
