[QUOTE="berneck1, post: 1875671, member: 24201"]Hey Guys, I'm curious if anyone does this. I like to buy only silver and gold eagles. My thoughts behind this are that they are less likely to be counterfeited than generic rounds or bars. Also, even if the dollar collapses, US coins are going to be trusted more than anything else. IMHO I also take it a step further and buy slabbed gold eagles. I feel if things really get bad it may offer a little more assurance that they are authentic. I only buy the MS-69 slabbed coins because I'm not buying for numismatic reasons. Many times the premium is not that bad. Besides, these slabbed MS-69/MS-70 current coins are a dime a dozen in my opinion, and I always thought were silly from a numismatic point of view, at least as far as the eagles are concerned. Does anybody else do this? Or am I wasting my money?[/QUOTE]
