Aureus, there's no good evidence at all that your claim is true. Also, long term could mean anything to anyone and to someone who is 18 years old buying coins today, it certainly could be a different definition than to someone who is 65 and buying.
Also, it's a ridiculous logical fallacy ( ad verecundiam ) to assert that because I have not been stacking as long as you claim to be stacking that therefore I don't know better than you. An argument must be logical without the use of appeals to authority or other logical fallacies.
Your flat disc milky kooks for the past nearly decade have been minted in the hundreds of thousands every year, so in 100 years, many could be easily seen as melting pot fodder along with many ASE's and SCML's whereas my much higher quality high relief Odin, Chinese medals, and other high relief low mintage beauties would much better stand the test of time as collectors generally treasure beauty and rarity over massive volumes of inferior quality products.
I own some Perth Mint bullion Lunars, Koalas, and Kooks but they are nothing special (especially with their milk spots) and if I get spot silver for them some day, I won't say that I am terribly surprised.

As for hype, by far and away, the most unwarranted hype I've seen on a regular basis is for Perth Mint products. Not that none of their products deserve praise, but virtually everything they produce, both the utter crap and the high quality items seems to be hyped far beyond anything else. It could be argued then that the premiums on many of these items are sucker premiums and were it not for the unparalleled hype, the sales would be considerably less on some or many of the products.

My suggestion to you is to seriously consider learning about semi numismatics, start with kooks and lunars then delve into the insanity that is Pandas. Based on the above it isn't your strong suite.
I say that without any malice, if you're going to be in this game for the foreseeable future you need to know their value and importance as an investment. You are not going to make money in this game without them, and that really goes to anyone who buys into mini series, random proofs and high reliefs.
You have over 30 years of history that proves this with pandas and 16-25 years of history that cements the Perth mints offerings as some of the best investor grade bullion money can buy. You can't turn a blind eye to that.
Ultimately if you want to keep calling me stupid, ridiculous and uneducated go for it, you won't learn anything doing that though.
