Bullion Coin Collectors Site
Beauty - Scarcity - Value
Why collect bullion coins?
People collect bullion coins for their own reasons, just as with any type
of coin. I personally find them some of the most beautiful coins.
They often have different designs each year. The look of gold,
silver, and platinum have their own special appeal. They are reasonably
priced (some as little as $20), so you can afford to add new coins to
your collection occasionally. The perceived value can be higher than the
actual value -- how many people know you can buy a gold coin for less
then US$100? Finally, with the value based much more on the content of
the metal rather than the scarcity of the coin, they can be a great value.
The low mintages also can be very appealing -- Mintages under
10,000 are not uncommon, and most bullion coins have a mintage of less
than 100,000.
