Cashing in bullion coins at face value ?

I've bought a pub meal & a beer on 2 x $10 coins ,I made the girl behind the bar take them,she showed them to the manager
And she took them

 

semi numismatic is better insurance than face value

 

WELL maybe


Sort of

Could be

If you get them in original packaging ,for the right coins ( on fleebay ) you could get BV (book value )
I've had 100's of them ,I went real hot on them for a while .
They just take up toooooo much space in OP.
I've sold the "right ones " on fleebay for $26 each
But I've sold the bulk of them on here for $20 each

Yes I'd rather 1 full Sovereign than 20 x $10 coins

 

I want 1930 penny at face value thanks ^_^

 

WELL THAN
You should have been there in 1930 :lol:

 

If you think Silver will tank and drop below $16/oz you'd be better off with $10 state coins to be honest.

 

And you'd still have had trouble getting one

 

Don't feel too bad. Around the early 2000s i sold a stack of about 40 sovereigns at rouggly a third of what they are worth today, and put the funds into a property.

People sometimes forget that for a very long time, gold was really in the doldrums and it was unwanted. I remember lots of programs about the "problem" with gold, gold becoming irrelevent and the World Gold Council or some such body not being able to do much to lift the price.

 

How do you feel about it today? Are you at peace with yourself or do you still regret it?

 

Did you buy em back when there was $200 of gold in them?

My parents bought them in the 50s and 60s as a hedge against rampant inflation and an unstable currency back in "ye old country".
