In history there are very few "good wars" and surely war is not considered good because of economic growth.

The 2006 reverse proof eagles (gold or silver) are very nice too.<br /><br />Next to those, my favorite purchases have been the Liberty FS subset and the Lincoln silver coins and pennies. I like the gold and silver eagle designs, but primarily purchase those when the price is right. I am looking forward to the palladium high relief coin when/if it is offered. <br /><br />Other than that, I am a numismatic opportunist and will purchase a coin if I think it is undervalued.joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-46787027957578323522011-06-07T17:16:15.876-07:002011-06-07T17:16:15.876-07:00A simple solution is always to purchase exactly wh...A simple solution is always to purchase exactly what you like, and be happy with your collection. The Mint has something for everyone. No reason for gripes, political or otherwise,... For example ASE's are a good series for Liberty loving folk. The commems are great for history lovers.

I think we might see some secondary market winners for those folks who track that stuff. With all these PM offerings coupled with tightening spending habits by us ordinary folks; those that can afford will do well. <br /><br />I'm still in for that 2011 W Gold Eagle UNC. but have to sell something. I have 3 of the 2009 "sonically sealed" PCGS ASE rolls that I bought in 2009. APMEX sells them for like a $1,114 a pop now. My boss offered me that for one. If I sell him 2 I can buy one of the 2011 W Gold UNC. Would you guys do that? Swap the ASE rolls for the UNC.

So SOME calm discussion of politics and coins is pertinent in my opinion.<br /><br />For example, girls on Boy Scout coins, cheap clad presidential coins while spouse coins are gold, Alice Paul on the Chester Arther spouse coin, diversity platinum coins that do not have a white male on them, etc. Some are even arguing that military coins are wrong because they tent towards pacifism. Congress injects their politically charged views and taxpayer money into coin legislation (for good or bad) and we collectors (and taxpayers) get to live with it. Why the censorship? Why is it taboo for discussion?joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-63943932527813712372011-06-07T15:43:23.937-07:002011-06-07T15:43:23.937-07:00The lower numbers are likely because of the price ...The lower numbers are likely because of the price increases in precious metal coins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-28254643811675849642011-06-07T15:26:25.516-07:002011-06-07T15:26:25.516-07:00Just posted the latest sales report:
