5. Collectible coins are more profitable for investment than investment

Some misinformation about gold and silver investing comes from interested numismatic coin dealers who are trying to convince customers to pay large premiums for allegedly rare collectible coins, using sometimes absurd arguments, because collecting coins cannot be confiscated by the government or valued more than ordinary coins.

The truth is that these highly profitable and relatively illiquid products are suitable only for those who have a special interest and knowledge in the field of numismatics. For the vast majority of investors in precious metals who just want to buy ounces of gold and silver, ordinary investment coins with low premiums are certainly more profitable investments.
