What are people's thoughts on the silver coins with a gilded theme piece? I'm thinking of buying but not sure if it a good investment? Will it carry a premium or will it just be worth spot in the future, not sure if people think its a sound investment or a mint marketing tool? Example of a coin http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalog...r-of-the-snake-1oz-silver-gilded-edition.aspx
IMHO not great as an investment. High entry point. $94 for 1 oz of silver Mintage of 50000 which is not particularly limited edition Snake not the most in demand year. If you like it or it is a gift then go for it but not as an investment. Much better getting the regular bullion version. Eg 2oz silver bullion snake will more likely appreciate more because of your 'lower' entry price and semi-numismatic value as time goes by.
I wouldn't worry about the gold content, as it is too small. Its a pretty coin itself, but thats about it. Wouldn't see it as a future flipping opportunity. You still can buy easily Gilded Lunar S2 for under current RRP. Maybe another stacker can shed any light on Lunar S1 Gilded.
I'm not into gilded at all simy for what others said.... Most of the gilded coins tend to have a fairly high mintage amount to not make it worthwhile especially considering when you can get the BU version for half the price. Only one coin that's worth getting IMO is the 2008 gilded Kookaburra which has a very low mintage (I think 3000) and is the most sought coin the series (aside from the 90 version, maybe)
Probably not good investment. However, I do collect them for my own interest, I think they are beautiful
They're beautiful (in my opinion) but a complete waste of money if you're buying as an investment. I don't really understand why but that's just how it is...
I had some money burning a hole in my pocket today but didn't pull the trigger, thought there would be a display or catalogue in the office when I picked up my orders Anyway I picked up some Scottsdale Stacker bars and some Snakes
