<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beaver96, post: 7419175, member: 106712&quot;]I also spend between $500-$1,000 a month on coins and bullion. I consider myself a collector first and a stacker second. Even when I buy bullion I buy it with an eye towards collecting, such as date sets of world silver bullion coins or interesting subjects. All that being said I have backed off bullion at todays premiums and concentrate more on collectable coins. </p><p>&nbsp;In seeing your posts over the last 6 months it seems we are attracted to the same things. I have seen your purchases from Apmex and JM bullion among others for world bullion as well as coin dealers for more collectable coins. I would recommend that you establish a relationship with a select few dealers who will then cater more to your interests. The big online dealers are fine for the new products but a friendly dealer will do more for your bottom line in coin dealings.</p><p>&nbsp;Lastly I collect for my enjoyment. I don&#039;t worry about what others will think about my collecting style. After 40 years I know that bullion prices will rise and fall and that most of my collectable coins will sell for less than I paid for them, that&#039;s the cost of enjoying this great hobby. Very few ever make money at their hobby, they pay for the enjoyment they receive while participating.</p><p>&nbsp;Back to your original question I&#039;m buying more coins from my LCS. Even his bullion premiums are more than I&#039;m willing to pay at this time. But he is not having any trouble selling all the bullion that he can get his hands on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
