Value appreciation of Bullion vs Proof vs Graded

[jhsilver]

Hi all,

I was wandering if any of you, experienced silver collectors and investors, can help with this question.

What type of coins have better value appreciation?

An interesting question, don't there is necessarily a fixed answer. You look at a generic 1oz britannia vs 2 oz queens beast as an example. Even in there base level bullion coin, value appreciated more on the Queens Beast series far an above the PM value. Before taking into consideration Proof, graded coin.

Coming in to this quite late myself I find that it varies wildly on what you buy. Bullion .. everyone wants it as cheap as chips, regardless of what it is, if you bought bullion at a high premium, then it’s tough. Anything different it depends on what it is, age etc. 

some bullion keeps its value and such as Britannia depends on what year it is. Some such as the Mexican ones appear to always keep a high premium. Then you go on to bars .. are you just stacking or buying vintage? A lot depends on the name attached to these.🤔

There are a lot of variables to be considered, but still some average ratio should be possible to be extrapolated.

Let's say for example if you take the selling price of Britannia, Tudor beast, silver eagle and Philly from 2017 as bullion mint, proof.....and compare it with selling price of the same 2022.

And forgot to mention the other variable, spot price.

It requires research and a bit of Mat. Maybe someone did the mat already?

In general I am buying:

Bars for investing,

Numismatic and limited mint coins as a hobby,

Generic bullion coins for trading and exchange to feed the above.
