Collectibles seem to go up on a consistent trend even if not all that much, while the price of silver fluctuates wildly.

I would rather have the collectibles, but that doesn't mean that I don't buy some silver.

Since it is $500 I would probably take the silver. This is inside my risk tolerence and I would hope to make $ and turn it around and into some collectables. If it were $5000 I would take the rare coins.

I picked silver because I personally think silver is going to rise alot, so I would take that 500 in silver and hopefully turn it into 1000 and than buy rare key date coins I want.

I went with the rare coin. $500 would not really make a big pile of coins either way. The silver would not be bad .. they could be sold to buy reare coins. If I was offered either $500 in silver or a very nice 1914 D Lincoln Cent .. I would pick the 1914 D |

Didn't vote due to I don't collect Silver and $500 is far from what I would think of as rare coins.
Probably should have this poll in the thousands instead.
Need more selections such as $5000 in Silver or Gold or Platinum or just collectable coins.

500 bucks is a lot for the maker of the poll seeing how he is in college, working 2 jobs and living on his own with his girlfriend for 2 years.  plus the numbers are still the same. The values are equal just higher, make the number 10,000 dollars each way, which would you rather have.   |

Definitely the coin(s) Silver is silver but a coin has beauty and history going for it. And yes $500 is a lot for some of us.

Collectibles, of course. Not that I would say no to the silver.  |

the reason this came into my thoughts was because so many people on this forum are silver hunters on the half dollar thread and so on. I think that hunting silver, and coin collecting are two different things.
Some people sell the silver to grab other coins they want, but others hoard it.
Just curiosity I guess. I was going to have a choice of $500 cash, but I figured everyone would pic it and buy whatever coins they wanted, so I figured I would leave it to 2 choices.
Anyone else have any wrapping up thoughts. Thanks everyone for voting and commenting.
