<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 2076989, member: 73489&quot;]Doug, there&#039;s no right answer.&nbsp; And you got lots of good information here from all the posters.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the most important question I focus on is:&nbsp; <b><i>what is your asset allocation and what is your risk tolerance ?</i></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #4d4dff">(1)&nbsp; Are you talking about DISCRETIONARY monies for an investment ? </span></b> Or are you talking about your a good chunk of your REAL savings ?&nbsp; Because in that case, BOTH investments -- Morgans and ASEs -- are BAD INVESTMENTS.&nbsp; They are actually SPECULATIONS.&nbsp; I&#039;ll assume you have other savings and this is discretionary monies or funds targeted for coins and/or a hobby and NOT money that you need to fund an IRA, regular savings, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #4d4dff">(2)&nbsp; Assuming you have other savings.....is this money you can AFFORD a lot of risk or you can&#039;t accept alot of risk ? </span></b> If the former, you might want to look into really top-notch Morgans, high-MS grades.&nbsp; You are going to be paying a big premium to underlying silver content (200 - 2,000% or more) but if you buy quality and it&#039;s a Morgan that is in demand, it could be a good investment.&nbsp; I&#039;m not an expert in Morgan&#039;s though I own a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>With ASEs, your risk is strictly the silver bullion price.&nbsp; At $18 or so per coin, much less downside than at $30/oz.&nbsp; But a deflationary vortex can take them back down to the single-digits, so again this goes back to (1) above, make sure even this risk is something you can stomach.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>If you are going to be making regular investments with new funds, you might want to do both.</b>&nbsp; But make sure you research the Morgans if you put serious $$$ there.&nbsp; ASEs need no research except the years you buy, proof or other special types, etc. -- you may &#039;keep it simple&#039; and just buy plain UNC ASEs.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000">Understand that there are lots of variables: </span></b> the price of silver can get crunched, but the Morgans can hold up.&nbsp; OTOH, the price of silver can move up nicely -- but your Morgan can lag, flatline, or even go down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
