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.
I knew it would happen.
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!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
