Poll Question
I don't have extra cash to buy any coins I want right now. I was thinking about posting some of my silver coins... some junk some that have some extra value. Should I list them on the forum?

I voted for you to sell them and buy type coins, or you can put them up for sale and trade.

Unload the silver and buy some nice type coins! You'll get more enjoyment out of the type coins.

I just traded my silver eagles (BU and Proof) for a type coin. I am very happy about this decision.

If you want some coins for your collection, then trade or sell the silver! I voted Trade because I have never sold a coin, but I did trade in a stash of extra Kennedy half dollars (roll searching finds) for some Franklin half dollars that I needed. |

I voted: Yes... make some cash for type coins!
The way I look at it is silver is hot right now, if you wait long enough it will cool off some.

Lets see what you have. list them in the buy sell trade section. The worst thing that could happen is you get to keep what you already have.

I'm not really the type to do that myself (I'm the hoarding type), but if you don't mind parting with those coins then do it! If you have something of value but aren't getting enjoyment out of it why keep it?

If you are like me you have a limited amount of money to indulge yourself with, you might as well get the maximum enjoyment out of what you have. There's no way of knowing if the value of silver will increase at a faster rate than type coins & it doesn't really make any difference. The important thing is to have fun. |

It really depends upon your personal goals. If you want to build a set of coins and feel you do not want or need the extra silver then sell or trade your silver off. The silver coins will buy you some of the more expensive stuff you need. Quality antique coins will always be quality antique coins so it it a wise investment but then again so is silver bullion. Bullion value silver will always be bullion value silver though. You must decide which type of coin you personally prefer. Both are good choices and both have potential of appreciation so from a financial sense both make perfect sense. So tell me, what do you enjoy collecting more? Sincerely, John Leckrone

I'd probably have to go with the type coins. This is why I have thought about getting rid of my extra silver. I am putting together sets of Wash, Rooseys ect but all the silver would be extra so. I think I will probably list them in at least one of the bst forums.

I voted hoard the silver...but only until the kids are out of college! I know you're a family man, and I think the silver might be better off for you for now, in case you have to dump it. But...once the little ones are grown, spend it how you want!
