traded price in the commodities exchange plus
dealer profit. Bullion is the investment grade
metal.
● Numismatics: defined as the study and
collection of coins, metals, and paper money.
Value/price is determined by metal content,
numismatic premium, and dealer profit.

6. Bullion or Numismatic?
● Since bullion is the pure metal content .999%,
in the event of the need to trade with it, you
know exactly what the value is.

have no control over. If you acquire
numismatics, do so for fun, as a hobby,
education, etc.
● To protect Wealth and “invest”, acquiring
physical bullion should be the priority.
