Is there any point buying every year coin?

[ChrisSilver]

My main stack consists of Pert Mint coins, however I will be collecting a few 1oz coins each year that I like. More for a collection that an investment.

My question is, would you say it is worth buying a maple and ASE each year? Or do you think that collecting these is a bit boring, and one only truly needs one maple and one ASE in their collection and it doesn't matter which year it might be.

Perhaps the money would be best spent on a different type of coin for the collection. What do you guys think?

[Danny-boy]

I like the majority of my coins to be different, so I take one of everything I can each year.

Then if I find one I like, or I think has upside, I go back and buy previous years.

But you already knew that.

Taking into account 'relatively how cheap' Maples, Eagles, Libertads etc. are compared to others, it is nice to have a run of years.

I think if a collection keeps you motivated to stack it has to be a good thing, i find motivation hard when funds are tight, if funds where easily available then yes why note collect all years,I am an A.S.E. fan and a collection of different years,colored and guilded would look cool to me. If it makes you happy why not,collectors collect all sorts of things just our hobby is precious metals.My stack is just boring bullion based, but if it was a case of mixed A.S.E.'s i would be just as happy.

Yes if thats what floats your boat then collect runs or any other specific types/styles of coins.

 

It is your choice. I collect all different types but I am using it as an investment.

As per Kieth,whatever makes you happy and keeps you interested in silver coins,there is no right and wrong in my book,stacker or collector or a bit of both.

I'd like one of every year starting from 2014.  I want to back date but some are getting pricey so I'm only going to pick up ones which are still at reasonable prices.

[Danny-boy]

I'd like a full date set of absolutely everything I like, and I'm getting there.

Still a long way to go though.

Next is koalas, then Philharmonics and then eagles.

Hopefully will finish my Rwanda wildlife off too.

Defo not doing pandas or lunar 1's.

Out of interest, why not lunar 1's?

Too expensive to be honest Doogs.

I started it and got as far as 3, but the prices were putting me off so I sold them and put the cash towards a date run of kooks.

I think once a series has finished, it's upside potential is vastly diminished too and any profit has already been made.

I'd rather go back on running series or standard bullion date runs.

[Danny-boy]

The Rwanda wildlife is killing me though, I only need the first 3 but boy are they commanding some cash.

But in my defence, it is a running series.

[ChrisSilver]

I might pick up an ASE, maple, And libertads each year then. Probably makes sense as it's relatively inexpensive and I can add on to another order. Then I will have a collection of each starting 2013 onwards.

My thoughts are: do what feels right for you.

[Keithoil]

Hi Derf

 

I agree just do you you feel is right.

 

The best thing is if you decide you do not like it or want it anymore then someone else will!!!!!

 

I collect for investment, and have lots of ASE, Australian coins, Maples, Britannia's, Monarchy type coins, all sorts.

I wouldn't purchase a date run of plain old bullion coins. But if you lie 'em, go for it. I don't think it would add any premium to the coins having the date run, unless you find someone else who happens to like that coin too. I would much rather have loads of different coins than the same but different years,

[Danny-boy]

I agree they won't have a premium for the date run (in most cases) but they hold a premium for me.

In fact, you'd most likely get less selling in a date run than you would selling individually.

However, part of my morbid exit strategy is that my wife can sell in sets rather than singly to make things easier.

It's all in the instructions I have stored with my stack.

If I sell them when I retire, they will go individually.

[Shiny]

My 2 bobs worth. I think it comes down to each individual what they stack. Ask your self why do you stack. Is it a hobby in that you want sets of different coins, are you stacking as savings, or investment for the future and sale. Or just a straight stacker to acquire just as much as you can in Bullion. Some people just like bars, some like coins and some numismatics.Whatever the reason it should be enjoyable and from what I can see on this Forum its like a breath of fresh air. Enjoy!!!!
