I also have easier time selling them compare to bullion. For some reason noone wants to buy my bullion at market price, while, I keep buying bullions at market plus premium -- so I am losing real dollar money on bullion.

As like many of you I dont believe in US$ any longer. However, to me a bullion in the safe is like US$ in the bank.. earning nothing at the inflation rate. This may sound real corny, but I watched rich dad poor dad seminar in 2009, and Robert Kiyosaki convinced me. Part of his teaching is Silver and gold as one of asset classes. We have monthly delivery of silver eagle tube, and few ms70 from NGC. Making tons of gain out of properties and numismatic silver... plus it's not trackable by the big brother hint hint.
Doesn't sound corny at all man, I think you're doing a great job. You've found a method that you fully understand and are doing well at. I completely see what you mean with regard to the numismatics as long as you're actively realizing those gains, not just calculating them on paper. I suspect you are capitalizing on the gains too, you're no dummy.
