I dont see a gold coin as gold with a massive premium over spot; I picture it as investing gold at spot and getting a collectible for the rest. Either gold goes up and the value rises or the collectible goes up and the value rises. No matter what happens it's still worth the price of gold. Unfortunately, silver is impossible to justify that way. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
