because some people believe there might be numismatic value in this shit 50 years from now. There is some premium in Pandas and other gold coins. They sell so many, there probably won’t be anything more significant 10 years from now than there is today. I have 50 lbs of uncirculated kennedy halfs that my father bought from the mint 50 years ago. They’re worth about $10. On paper. If I want to sell more than a few, I’m probably not going to get that. Current melt is about $6.20. I guess that’s not a horrible yield for a 50 year hold. Maybe it’s not so bad. 20x in 50 years, but they were worth more than melt when they were brand new. And silver isn’t worth twice what it was in ’64. I dunno, maybe I’m wrong.
