For real, I've just been waiting for my opportunity to buy. I think the American Eagle bullion coins are really cool and it'd be nice to have something in hand as opposed to seeing just stock numbers. Obviously the plan for holding physical is keeping them for a while. There is no point paying 80 over spot (in the case of gold) only to sell them right back. I've just been waiting for the next dip. The links above are good general advice but I just wanted some opinions on if Silver and Gold will go down again in the next few months to give me my window.
Does anybody have any opinions on also buying for possible numismatic reasons? E.g.
Mintage 1997: 4,295,004
Price: $42.69
vs.
Mintage 2010: 34,764,500
Price: $38.68
It seems like it is well worth the extra cash to pay get a 1997 coin that is almost 10x as rare. Also, I'd like to figure that many of those 1997 coins are no longer in brilliant uncirculated (which is how they're being sold).
