Silver alloy coins

[Kapten hörntand]

Hi, Im in Sweden and we have similar conditions regarding ag here, -25% taxes, but its possible to cut that a bit due to private small importers.
Up here we have our version of "const" silver,. 80%(pre1940s) and 40%(1968) I've seen 80percentcoins gain in value over the year, you always got it for well under spot75-80% below, now its harder, you even in good lot's even have to pay above spot. As for any numismatic value's its hard to even guess. I think real numismatics which obviously has a huge value today, wont see their value gets eaten up by an increasing AGprice just directly ,.but who knows. I have been buying very nice coins which i know had some value to them over melt in , say 6-8y ago, but today have had their little numismatic gain totally eaten up by a 30usd/tr oz price.
Just make sure never pay above melt!
Also good to get youre domestic ag-coins if you tend to some day sell them there, as i 've been focusing on swedish coins and a bit morgans/peace(good everywhere in world) As its easier to follow the tiny market.

Agshaman has some good points there, i also think late-to-the-party ppl could stress-up situations, in a future panic market.

Its also way fun to have old coins, hold some old coins and do a little micro meditation 5-10sec., then think about all the history of theese coins, ppl have worked hard for them, paying who knows what,... and now it ended up in your hand. Feel lucky!
