This is an interesting question, do you collect for saving your cash in precious metals? Or do you collect for the looks, feel, weight or beauty? Would you like to have one of these Platinum coins from Apmex (https://www.apmex.com/product/52/1-oz-platinum-american-eagle-bu-random-year-1997-2017)
Coming in at only 1 Troy OZ and a cost of around $1130.70, this little bugger is a pile of cash in the palm of your hand....
But is it worth just buying one coin? or would you rather buy Silver? you could get a little under 60.5 Silver Eagles for the same price from Apmex (https://www.apmex.com/product/23331/1-oz-silver-american-eagle-bu-random-year)
If you are buying in bulk of course......
So what would you prefer? Having one coin the same color as the silver ones, that could be interpreted as silver by someone that doesn't really know their metals. Or would you rather spend your hard earned fiat on a massive collection of a beautiful mixture of art entombed in Silver?
Personally I would love the hunt for 60.5 different 1 OZ silver coins, instead of the 1 Platinum. Being able to show my actual "collection" to others, making them drool as some of you have done to me. My savings will be in silver, How about YOU?
