<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1071105, member: 19065&quot;]If you look deeper into the world of silver art bars then you&#039;ll learn&nbsp; you can already find some of these things: Madonna, Hendrix, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of these people&#039;s estates are managed by licensing and rights&nbsp; management companies which have set limitations or defined their market,&nbsp; which doesn&#039;t include such products for whatever the reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>This topic is particularly <i>not</i> about &#039;bullion investing&#039; as much&nbsp; as the creation of collectibles based on entertainers, which happen to&nbsp; be made out of precious metals. Usually, this sort of thing is mocked&nbsp; and derided by the numismatic community when they appear from any of the&nbsp; various private mints.</p><p><br /></p><p>Due to limited mintages, distribution expenses, associated advertising&nbsp; and production costs, copyright issues, etc. you will be paying a hefty&nbsp; premium for silver, hence it&#039;s not a wise investment and the sort of&nbsp; thing the majority of numismatic collectors can easily be persuaded to&nbsp; purchase for all of the above reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m quite surprized, though I probably shouldn&#039;t be, that you seem&nbsp; unaware of this as well as the very recent offering from the UK Royal Mint, who only&nbsp; just issued a John Lennon silver collectible coin. There are Beatles,&nbsp; Elvis and other bullion rounds to be sure and if you dig deep enough you&nbsp; will eventually discover there is something to match your other&nbsp; interests ready manufactured to fill that void in your life while&nbsp; attempting to woo you with the potential value of (uncertain/volatile&nbsp; priced) commodities.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQjYSAYDktJPfGu5-N03DRx0ryVZdCi9BIdloKJ0-4kwHVt2unz" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/m/mKtBgpEP2nxoKUFlaJBseKQ/140.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/m/mbTr3CfMdGrOps585A96lZg/140.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/m/m-xskwVbkDHLG2nhiRl08YQ/140.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/m/mn1xkvERd8zt6Y-gVQxlDJg/140.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/m/maNDh_gS-iYWh71afO959pA/140.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Perhaps, the better *investment* would be to invest in the companies that manage the rights to these celebrities so that you may take advantage of what the entire entertainment industry capitalizes off of memorabilia and collectible ephemera.</i></p><p><i></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
