[QUOTE="zekeguzz, post: 1037511, member: 15455"]Bullion Definitions: A mass of precious metal. A refined and stamped weight of precious metal A practical and tradable way to handle precious metal. The pure form of a precious metal from which coins, bars, plates, and ingots are made. In my experience of being a CT'er I've never been told or reccomended to slab modern bullion anything. Just purchase it that way if desired. Very worthwhile advice. But slabbing $1, $2 1/2, and $3 gold bullion coins from the 1850's is different because of the rarity and authenticity issues involved. Commemoratives are ' technically ' bullion too, IMHO . But anyone slabbing one to preserve its condition is to be appreciated and respected, IMHO. So aren't all coins made of preciuos metals bullion now i. e. Mercury dimes, War nickels, Walking Liberty halves,etc.? They all are worth more than their face value because of their precious metal's intrinsic value. So 'Bullion is Bullion ' has its exceptions. Bought in 2009 a $50 gold buffalo or $50 gold Mapleleaf is an investmest. So why not invest in bullion? Just don't slab it. As can be seen from the above posts just take all the advice you can get and make the choice for youself. This is my humble opinion. zeke[/QUOTE]
