Whats the advantage of collecting certified rare coins vs. bullion coins?
Several benefits favor certified coins. First and most important is the assurance that your coin actually is what the grade on the holder shows it to be. Secondly, you can be assured that the coin is not a counterfeit. Grading services guarantee authenticity. Rare coins have a premium added to the spot or melt value. This premium or extra value will expand and grow as the price of bullion increases. Often the premium grows faster than the growth of the bullion price. Finally, when you wish to sell a certified rare coin, you’ll discover it’s easier to get the “correct” price that will include the premium.
