Now that I'm all caught up in my equity investing, and things are getting back to normal, I can start buying the worst investment product in the world: gold and silver coins. LOL.
I have "all" the US Silver Eagles through 2023, including the Type 1 and Type 2 from 2022.
Now, to re-visit the Pandas and the Morgans.
The last Pandas I bought: 2020 Pandas (BU).
The 2021, 2022, and 2023 Pandas (BU) are out of stock. My local source said he quit buying Pandas in 2021 because the mark-up was excessive.
So, maybe back to Morgans.
Silver bullion:
I got a telemarketer call the other day noting that I was a collector of rare coins.Nope, I don't collect rare coins. I have a few but I don't collect them. I told the telemarketer that I buy the new American silver dollars (BU). She abruptly hung up, but not until muttering "bullion."I never thought of American silver dollars (BU) as bullion, but they certainly aren't rare coins, so I guess to a telemarketer of rare coins, they are bullion. Disgusting. LOL.But the 2019 China Pandas have been released. My biggest "coup": a year or so ago buying a few novelty silver coins (BU) and now they are hard to find; doubled in price. They go to the grandchildren.I don't know why. I guess I'm like a lot of folks that like shiny objects. The China Panda story is very, very interesting. I doubt anyone really knows how many are minted any given year, and it wouldn't surprise me if China "re-minted" old vintages. You know, stamp 2011 on coins minted this year (2019). Nothing coming out of China would surprise me. But the buzz at the coin shows: as more and more Chinese move into "middle class," more and more will buy China Pandas.
And now we see: 2021, 2022, and 2023 Pandas are out of stock.
