Small but expensive collection

[coinmaster]

Hi,

 

Hope i posted this message in the proper place...

 

This is my small but expensive collection ($4900 - not clearly seen on the screenshoot).

 

I am collecting only gold & silver coins.

not bad but why limit yourself to just gold and silver?

[coinmaster]

I prefer quality, rather than quantity

 

Also, in a bad days, i can get my money back very fast. So when i am buying such coins, i am actually not spending money - they are converted in gold coins

[Corina]

well if it works go for it is my reply

I do the same. Convert it to gold, silver or platnium. and save it for a rainy day.

Plus It takes up less room. Safes only hold so much.

I do tend to distinguish between my bullion stash and my collection; since the bullion is "generic" and have little collector value, and the coins' value depends entirely on a bunch of OCD collectors chasing them. (There's almost zero intrinsic value to, say, my 1802 cent, but it's worth at least 200,000 times face.) Collecting coins and stacking bullion are very different activities even if there is quite a bit of overlap between them.

 

Proof precious metal coins are kind of in-between. Clearly made for collectors, but mostly valued for their metal content.
