Howell's Collections

Posted by abie on 8:36 PM in ,
My husband is into collecting all sorts of stuffs. His latest collection was the US quarters representing the fifty states of the United States. He started collecting it when we first went to the US when we had our vacation in Los Angeles some five years ago. Since then, every time he has the opportunity to go to the US, he will really try to find the quarters that is missing from his collection. And he was just so happy, because he just completed all fifty quarters. His colleague went to the US for training and she was able to get the last two quarters that he is missing from his collection.


Now that he has completed his coin collection, he wants to take this to a whole new level and now he is looking at investing in silver or gold coins too. He has been doing some reading to learn about bullion and about the different bullion coins. He got really interested when he saw the Ben Franklin half dollar silver coins and he became more interested when he learned that half-dollars have higher premiums than quarter coins.

As for me, I am glad that he is putting his love for collecting things as a way of investing too. He told me that investing in silver bars and silver coins are a good way of investing as it has high resale value so we can easily sell it if we suddenly need cash. And investing in rare coins like the american silver eagle and silver bars is a good investment as they don’t depreciate in time. They are also easy to store since they have uniform size so we don’t have to worry for its storage.

He has been checking the site of CMIGS and he learned that they only sell 0.999 pure silver which is the industry standard so transacting with them will definitely give us an assurance that we are getting the best silver bars and coins the market has to offer. My husband is really serious in pursuing his plan to invest in silver coins and bars so I am sure a big chunk of his Christmas bonus will go to this investment plan.
