<p>[QUOTE="zach67005, post: 1353043, member: 31132"]I was bored the other night so I started to count my silver coins & figure ASW, spot price, etc. I came up with a figure of around $2500 in silver not including bullion (My wife suggested I sell it to take her clothes shopping, LOL). That got me thinking about a few things. I don't have the time to value each peice as it's always changing, but I estimated that approx 30% of my silver coin has Numismatic value over spot. Don't get me wrong, it's doubled since I got back into collecting (silver was around $13, IIRC). I believe it was more like 50-60% two years ago. What does that say about me, or coins? Have I switched gears to making purchases based on silver? Have I lost some interest in higher grade coins? Or has the PM boom just equalized the numismatic Vs intrinsic ratio in coins? At least I know I'm at 90% or better rate on my copper(excluding bulk wheties, & pre-82 cent bags.</p><p>I'd like to hear your thoughts & your own ratios. </p><p>Thanks for reading, :thumb:</p><p>Zach[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
