No Longer a Collector

I've officially retired from numismatics. I've traded in about 90% of my slabs for gold and silver bullion. In the last year I purchased the star privy Eagle and the US/UK colaborative Britannia/Eagle slabs.
Just stacking now unless something really unusual comes along.

Hope your choice works out well for you.
aren't the star privy ASE and the US/UK collaborations considered collector coins (numismatic)?
If so you're almost there!

I have done the same over the last couple years. I’m 100% out of numismatics and focused on weight.
I dumped most of my higher value collector coins in 2008-10. Bought gutter and yellow metal in 2014-17. Adding white metal from time to time.
Most of my collector bullion has lost its premium and gained in price. Par for the course. I maintain 3 collections and two of them are bullion. I dropped several projects a few years ago in order to be able to better fund my favorite ones. My newbie interest in ancients and foreign coins keeps growing.
Dumped all my collectables years ago with exception of my slabbed Peace/Morgan dollars but have slowly been selling away all the duplicates.
I do have a decent amount of slabbed pre-33 gold remaining but I always bought those at or very close to spot so I consider them as bullion. Currently holding bullion Au, Ag, a bit of Pt and the occasional SLV. RGDS!
