[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1413885, member: 17555"]Another thing to consider is how much exposure you want your collection to have to the collector market vs. the PM (precious metals) market. I'd argue the PM market is much more stable.. and it's not that stable.. which really tells you what I think of the stability of the collector market. In any case. $50 BU Morgan is worth ~30 silver value,, leaving you exposed to only $20 to the numis markete (collector market)..... value can be expressed 60%/40%,, where the 60% is the more stable part of the equation, and where the value of the morgan will likely go up with nearly equal weight as the silver (or) collector market goes up. The $1000 BU Barber half is worth around ~15 silver value,, leaving you exposed to $985 of numis market.. which is driven primarily by the amount of disposable income in the collector popuations pocket... much less stable than the PM market. So from a stability perspective.. the morgan is a better deal imo. From a high risk, high reward perspective.. the barber is a better deal given the obvious attributes which make it attractive to the numis collector base... and when they have money dripping out of their pockets in abundance... then the price could rise quickly and dramatically... anyone giving odds on that happening in this economy ?[/QUOTE]
