[QUOTE="Jasanche, post: 3336426, member: 88790"]"In my opinion, no. Should you take that coin to a dealer to sell it, he's not goingto care about the exotic finish, beautiful box or COA. He'll probably offer you somewhere around spot. Same goes for the TPG graded proof 70 cameo whatevers the TV coin guys are hawking. It's like putting lipstick on a pig — they're still just bullion coins. Owning PMs as an investment is fine, but my advice would be to keep them separate from your numismatic pursuits." [Can't tell why the quote was not appropriately inserted] Well put. This has been the hardest decision to make for me, because I originally started to collect coins for their numismatic value, but then branched out to silver stacking. If you buy a coin as a PM investment, then buy as close to melt. If you buy a coin for their numismatic value then that's it: buy it for its history and beauty, not for its PM content.[/QUOTE]
