No, none of these. </p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;ve fallen victim to bullion dealers and mint marketing programs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having become accustomed to regular buying and establishing preferred dealers or venues in which to buy, they&#039;ve fallen for hype spun over grade or condition and rarity by the same dealers they went to for merely bullion purchases at reasonable prices. It has snarred them with incentives to &#039;buy more to save&#039;, to obtain &#039;free shipping&#039; especially IF one buys X-amount, or pre-orders before coins are released, etc. But then comes the limited series concept and where they are convinced they are stacking and buying when others are not, they have that which not everyone else has in their possession. So it is an easy step to convince them to believe in limited mintage series or to buy TPG graded bullion with lowish populations of certified bullion compared to overall mintage. Effectively, the mints cranking these out based on the demand from the hyped bull market target these &quot;stackers&quot;, and the TPGs certify bullion at a time when &#039;coin collectors&#039; do not regard them as collectible, thus making this an area some investor/stackers are susceptible of after a while. </p><p><br /></p><p>While it is true in some instances that rarity exists, such as with many modern Mexican bullion coin dates, it cannot be said to be the same with what comes out from world mints issuing huge mintages (US, Austria, China, UK, et al), or others repeatedly issuing new series of minimum mintage without much of a market for them, such as Perth or RCM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
