<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 59339, member: 3011"]I'm in about the same situation you are trying to accomplish the same thing while having some fun. If the goal is primarily investment, gold coins seem best (meaning safest, not necessarily most profitable) to me when they can be obtained within 25% of melt value. Bullion coins will be closer to melt than this, and coins with some numismatic value will cost more, but this is a small enough premium to tie them closely to the performance of the metal over time instead of the (possibly but not defintely) overpriced coin market, yet leaves enough scope to buy a lot of different domestic and foreign coins. The same thing can be done with silver coins when you can buy them within about $5 of melt value per troy ounce. But I'm also not a qualified investment advisor. Heck, I'm not even a qualified coin collector. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
