Whether you are a colector or investor your priorities should be one and the same. Anything other than paper curency is still better than getting caught holding paper. There are differences though. Do diversify, for the avid collector try to always include bullion as preservation of your wealth while coins would be considered a hobby with a passion. If the right collectables are bought then you should also make money with them. Bullion could also be bags of pre 1965 dimes, quarters, half dollars. Just remember they are 90 % silver instead of .999 silver. The attraction to the 90 % bags of coins is the possibility of finding a rare coin worth much more that the bagful. Odds are against it but it does happen. I once bought some half dollars in a collectors folder. A 1934 walking liberty was with them and worth over half of the total cost, so I had all the other coins plus an added $ 70.00 worth or so to boot. The coin was in nice condition surprisingly making it more valuable. All the dates were not visible in photos or mentioned in the description but priced near bullion value. I think it is wise to have a core stack in the meantime and maybe flip some of the coins for a profit. If your a collector like me sometimes it`s really hard to part with collections even if it an ol worn out coin. I do purchase those sometimes because of eye appeal showing a fine piece of history like the half dollars we had in our pocket as kids. That half then just gave a special feeling. Something special !
Neccessities naturally will be things you need each day !
