Buy Low and sell High

This is easier said than done. What goes on is collectors and investors wait till the market is
moving up and then decide to buy at high prices.

We all like a sale but why do we not buy silver and gold coins when the price is low?

For the past 10 years coins have been for sale but not many have continued to get rare coins to
add to their portfolios.

Now that gold and silver prices are at higher levels and we see and hear about any of it on the news
and financial shows, we wonder if we should be buying.

Yes and no... Yes we have to be buying and no we ought to not be buying.

A contradiction...yes.

Buy because you want to increase our investments and collections.

Don't just buy as the price is rising and we may make a profit.

What do we buy?

Individuals and will command very high prices.
TV and internet auctions can also cause price levels to rise.

will the coins of the type.
