Official US Mint Packaging and the Value of Bullion Coins
I’m new to collecting US Bullion coins (other than buying directly from the US Mint which isn’t possible) and have noticed that a lot of companies sell the bullion (Silver/Gold/Platinum eagles) and Gold Buffalo coins without the box and Certificate of authenticity that the US Mint provides when you buy through them. Is a bullion coin without the US Mint box/Certificate worth lesser than ones that do have them? I see a lot of vendors who are selling the coin itself without any of the original US Mint packaging. Does this decrease a bullion coin’s value. Also, does anyone have recommendations for good online retailers for bullion coins? Here in Utah there really are no dealers who sell US Mint Bullion. One in Salt Lake City is an official US Mint re-seller but mainly specializes in selling rare Mormon coins and don’t have much US Mint merchandise in stock.

How to Invest in Silver – Silver Investing
How to invest in silver at www.AutomaticSilver.com There’s two things I want to share with you in this video. One is to convince you to invest in silver as it is set to explode. The other is to show you the easiest hands-off way on how to invest in silver. Silver has always been used as a precious metal for its monetary value. But did you know that its widely used for industrial applications as well. From mirror to computers, medical devices and alternative energy. Many of these areas are growing today. And silver supply is not really meeting demand. Only a limited amount is pulled out of the earth each year. Long before its ever minted into coins or used in industry all that silver is already bought up and spoken for. In the next few years alone, demand could easily outstrip supply. Add to that the economic uncertainty all across the world. Whenever this happens people buy silver as it’s a safe haven for the money they’ve earned when inflation occurs. But the mass of the population hasn’t caught on yet and unfortunately it looks like things are going to get worse before they get better. Then we add a third factor on top. There is manipulation going on in the silver market. Most silver these days is not traded in physical bullion but in paper trades with Exchange Traded Funds. The people at the top are able to use these to suppress the price of real silver. Some day, possibly soon, this will all fall apart. Those silver ETF’s will become worthless as real silver shoots up …
