<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1848108, member: 41780&quot;]I guess I am an outlier when it comes to investing in silver.&nbsp; Ever since I started buying PMs, I have been interested in the historical aspect of coins.&nbsp; It was hard for me to believe I could buy 19th-century Peruvian and American silver coins with modest premiums above spot in my first year. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I buy numismatic coins, as opposed to bullion, I count them based on their silver weight <i>only</i>.&nbsp; I even do this with the denarii I have recently bought.&nbsp; My expectation is that I will only get the silver value one day, but I enjoy the ride of collecting pieces of history.&nbsp; It&#039;s one thing to read about ancient Rome and another to hold in your hand a piece that was a whole day&#039;s labor for a soldier.&nbsp; However, I know that there will always be a premium for historical silver, and that premium will be a bonus for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite advancements in counterfeiting technology and even potential massive appreciation of PMs, my historical pieces will likely bring me a premium to offset costs in selling.&nbsp; Again, these pieces are for my enjoyment, though it so happens that the mere fact of having silver content tends to increase the numismatic value of numerous historical coins in the manner of a multiplier.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see no conflict between investing in bullion and numismatics.&nbsp; Investing in numismatics is more akin to investing in fine art than bullion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
