[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1667876, member: 26302"]It depends. For my junk silver I only ever bought it as a financial hedge, so to me its physical bullion. Every other coin I own I am like you. I will never sell, rarely trade, the only reason I have an idea in my head about value is to be able to buy more of them. I know what an average price for a Ardashir Tet is, and what is a good price, simply because I would like to buy more if I ever came across more at a good price.
