[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2455117, member: 71510"]You need to make that decision for yourself. Part of the investment process is leveraging - in other words - an exit strategy. If you plan on selling at retail, you'll need a business license, etc... that will cost you. If you plan on selling back to a dealer, expect to take a large hit on the premium. If you plan on selling via Ebay, expect to have overhead for fees, potential for fraud and losses, etc... If you have no understanding of numismatics and no exit strategy, you are better off with raw bullion. If you understand coins and bullion - and the relationship, you can do well with either. The thing to remember is that you are talking about an investment - and no matter the investment, it takes research to understand the market before you buy. Otherwise it's just guessing. That said, you need to do some homework. The key is to take advantage and leverage opportunities no matter what you buy. People make money and lose money every day in all types of investments. Those that do their homework are more likely to make money. To tell you coins or bullion would only be giving a subjective opinion. I have my strategy, what is yours?[/QUOTE]
