[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4232325, member: 73489"][B]The only hedge to an equity decline is cash and/or Treasury bonds.[/B] [B][COLOR=#0000ff]PMs MAY or MAY NOT hedge a decline. [/COLOR][/B] They are "disaster insurance" against something cataclysmic that sends gold and silver up 50% in a few days and up 100% in a week or two. If that happened, the presumably many quasi-investment coins would go up nicely too. Obviously, a bullion coin or an equivalent like a common Saint-Gaudens would go up 100% if gold doubled. [B][COLOR=#b30000]I would expect that a numismatic coin like an MS65 1924 Saint or an MS66 1923-D Saint to jump anywhere from 50% to 100%. [/COLOR][/B] Coins with more numismatic value like a 1907 HR would go up less. Maybe someone can tell us what happened to the 3 types of numismatic coins -- commons, quasi-numismatic, high premium numismatic -- in past times when gold moved up (1979-1980, 1982-1989, 1990's).[/QUOTE]
