Poll Question
Ok, so I was thinking the other day while I moved 6 yards of dirt for my brother-in-laws parents and this kept my mind busy while it down poured and I trudged through the mud.  What would you rather have? Silver moves around, but rare coins will go up in value for the most part, it might take a little while, and the price doesn't move as fast or crazy as silver, but what would you rather be gifted with? Reasoning can include investment, joy of silver, whatever. what would you rather have?

Would rather have the collectibles; never been in it for the PM value, even though I have a few ASE's and AGE's, I've had them for many years |

I would rather have the collectibles, because with silver bullion your reason is to sell it later on, then potential for investment stops at that point unless you then invest in collectibles to keep.

I would rather have the collectibles. I collect to pass on the grand kids and great grandkids. Hoping to spark their passion for collecting. Never have collected for the money.

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.
