<p>[QUOTE="adric22, post: 1590206, member: 38146"]That may have answered the question. I do like to "collect" but I never buy any coin that I'm not prepared to fill at least an entire tube with copies of it. So if I buy 1 gold-plated half dollar then I need to be prepared to buy 19 more of them. My reasoning is that it will be easier to sell off my collection in the future if I have many of the same item. I don't want to be stuck with a box full of one-off miscellaneous coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So far everything I've bought has been strictly for bullion value but I realize some things carry an inherent premium even though they have no precious metal. A proof coin is an example. Incidentally I never buy proof coins and I do not own a single one of them for that reason. I just wasn't sure about the plated coins. It seems many here have a dislike for them. Yet, I see plenty of people buying them on eBay. So obviously a market exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
