<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hotpocket, post: 1943490, member: 44182&quot;]You posted this question in the BULLION INVESTING forum, so I am presuming you are an investor, but for clarity I am going to ask the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>Is your silver purchase simply an investment? Or are you buying the ASE as a &quot;coin collector&quot; for numismatic enjoyment (and possible return due to appreciation on the grade of the coin).</p><p><br /></p><p>In my mind they are two different things.&nbsp; When I buy bullion as an investment, I buy raw ASEs and then put them in the safe ( and rarely, if ever, look at them).&nbsp; When I buy coins as a collector, I look at mintage numbers, current demand, grading and eye appeal of the coin, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you try to mix the two and buy silver coins as a coin collector (and lets say have them slabbed/graded by a TPG), but then also try to consider them a &quot;silver&quot; investment, it probably wont work well.&nbsp; At least it hasn&#039;t for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Decide why you want to buy silver and that should help you decide what to buy.&nbsp; If you are buying silver solely as an investment, don&#039;t pay a premium for niceties - get as much silver as you can for the least amount of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2 cents.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
