<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 13528007, member: 15588"]ASEs do at least contain silver, a commodity, so they should, at minimum, always be worth their silver content value. EFTs and Beanie Babies are not tied to any commodity that I'm aware of, so they can lose <i>all</i> of their value, down to the last micro-cent. So silver would have to completely tank overall to see a net loss equal to the possibilities of EFTs or Beanie Babies. Though you can still easily lose money with ASEs, the losses seem of potentially lower impact and of potentially lower loss. I say "potentially" because no one really knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had the choice in investing between one of those three, I would choose ASEs simply because they're tied to a commodity. In my mind, they are slightly different for that reason alone. If you speculate on them above their metal content, you can still lose money, but that's true for pretty much all numismatic coins. Nothing comes without risk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
