Does the absence of official US Mint Packaging (box/certificate) reduce the value of bullion coins?
I’m new to collecting US Bullion coins (other than buying directly from the US Mint which isn’t possible) and have noticed that a lot of companies sell the bullion (Silver/Gold/Platinum eagles) and Gold Buffalo coins without the box and Certificate of authenticity that the US Mint provides when you buy through them. Is a bullion coin without the US Mint box/Certificate worth lesser than ones that do have them? I see a lot of venders who are selling the coin itself without any of the original US Mint packaging. Does this decrease a bullion coin’s value. Also, does anyone have recommendations for good online retailers for bullion coins? Here in Utah there really are no dealers who sell US Mint Bullion. One in Salt Lake City is an official US Mint re-seller but mainly specializes in selling rare Mormon coins and don’t have much US Mint merchandise in stock.

Go check out my friend Brian at his website: appaloosacoins.com I’ve just started collecting coins and it’s fascinating what you find you don’t know! Extremely valuable coins may be just in your pocket or on your dresser…or on the dresser of the hooker you forgot to pay last night and later found out was a transvestite midget with a hairlip. Not that I’ve ever done that. Stop looking at me like that.
What is the best advice for my Morgan and peace silver dollars?
Hi everyone,
Long story short, for $10 I acquired
10 silver dollar coins, 4 Morgan Silver dollars and 6 peace dollars.
The Morgan dollars are (generally good condition, I would judge them to be between Fine and extremely fine more towards extremely fine). Philly mint I think for all.

Peace dollars (I feel most of these guys are in fine condition)

I’ve always been interested in collecting coins when I was younger but never really had the capital to do so but it’s a different story now. I went to the local coin shop today and they offered me $26 per coin and I’m assuming I don’t have anything particularly interesting so they essentially offered me the melt value. Talking to them for a little bit about my hobby when I was younger and they suggested in regards to Morgan silver dollars that for “investing” the best strategy would be to acquire fewer higher quality rarer coins rather than your typical run of the mill common Morgans. I considered this advice and now I’m thinking I may act upon it or at least start a collection.
My goal is to have coins that won’t lose value over the long term. I’m assuming this implies that buying those rarer coins for their numistic value rather than it’s weight in silver is important. At the same time I still like the idea of having a collection and not simply owning the single most valuable coin I can afford.
With my goals in mind what would you suggest if I were looking into getting into Morgan silver dollar coins or perhaps another precious metal coin that won’t break the bank. One option I thought about was returning to the store to redeam my $260 and exchanging it for a something like a 1883 Carson City http://cgi.ebay.com/Boxed-Carson-Cit…item5ae00aab81 Would that be a wise move? Would doing this help achieve my goal?
Finding Deals on Coins?
I have just started collecting coins and am wondering where I can get deals. I know that I can obviously get some good deals, but what are the secrets to finding real treasures? Has anyone had any luck at garage/estate sales? Is it usually cheaper to get them from a coin dealer or on Ebay?
Also, when people on Ebay offer huge lots of coins with “rare finds” in them is there ever anything good in them or are they all picked over?
