Hello all!

Will be very happy to hear the different people opinion about:

Mine collection started from the "Bullion all over the world", and although I still continue to collect the bullion coins and series (Australian Koala for example), I shifted and significantly expanded in the area of NCLT coins with the numismatic value, from the RCM mostly (also RAM and Perth Mint).
But I have put some limitation, that came from the Bullion world - only coins from .999 silver. Recently, made the exception for "1911-2011 Dollar", "2010 Year of the Tiger Scalloped coin", "2011 Year of the Rabbit scalloped coin".

So the advice that I am looking for:
Are the Fine Silver NCLT count as "Superior" over the Sterling NCLT?
Is there some reason, that better to avoid the sterling?

Even the last years, I saw some NCLT, that I wanted for their design, but didn't buy due to the metal composition (sterling silver).

Without a doubt, the greatest advantage of Fine/Pure silver over Sterling is that they are tax exempt when buying from the RCM, dealers or even large resellers.

Other than the tax, the extra 7.5% of silver doesn't make any different for a numis coin IMO.

also. The only difference between the two is HST. I buy them because I like them for the art, for the person/event commemorated, to complete a set etc.
