I like non-numismatic coins and bullion but I don’t know numismatics the way some folks do. I do think that in hard inflationary times, numismatic value is somewhat less desirable than hard weight based coinage and bullion. I could be wrong though. In the end, I’m just betting that gold and silver coins and bullion will protect me against the inflation that is surely coming as well as anything else that our future holds. I won’t put all my eggs in that basket just yet but I’m perfectly comfortable with putting 20% to 25% of them in it. I’m not prepared to jump back into the stock market in any amount though. I do not trust the market or the folks running it. I may regret it but I think the US economic fundamentals will ultimately justify my decisions so, for now, “in gold I trust” (and silver).
