<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1318584, member: 19065&quot;]Absolutely Rick! That was also the sentiment earlier this year, which was particularly rife on CT. People who collected the coins got virtually ostracized for buying the coins. The comments made <i>against</i> the ATB 5 oz. coins series really amounted to a financial division between collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s interesting because silver was climbing as the ATB pucks of 2010 were released earlier this year and collectors who bought them were pleased with the prices they paid since silver continued to increase further. As silver slowed down the coins have taken the back burner, when there is actually now an even better opportunity to jump in and buy them. Yet the folks who talk the coins down or bemoan that if the prices were lower they&#039;d be buyers too, just don&#039;t seem to materialize, probably because they never could afford them to begin with and weren&#039;t serious about anything but complaining about it in the first place. </p><p><br /></p><p>It appears that silver, &#039;the poor mans gold&#039; is supposed to be some super cheap commodity that people have a right to afford, yet not everyone can do that given personal budgets. There&#039;s really no reason to kick the program, just stick to what you like and can afford and let those who can afford the ATB pucks enjoy what they like to collect. It&#039;s equally silly to rail against coins at this price point when it implies you can&#039;t afford anything from this price on up, which is pretty much a heck of a lot of the coin market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
