Investments. With gold and silver everyone wants their cut. Online brokers get from 5-15% of the sale price and who wants to pay more than the metal value per ounce? Ebay gets 10% + sales tax. The coins are nominally 90% gold or silver. I sold a 1870’s $20 piece last week and garnered $1650 total, about spot price and was glad to get it. The different grades and nuisances can make them shoot up in value. (Mine was not that special) Like a nice shooter SAA compared to a worn patina first gen rig still 3x the price!
Your statement is true, but I’d rather have the gun.
