Hi @Harmonium
When I purchase the silver coins, I am always thinking of them as an investment for my daughter. I have seen pure silver coins that have no colour and they are called investment coins. But when they released the 125th Perth Mint Anniversary Silver coin, they had one that is a 1oz Proof Coin and then another is 1oz Bullion Investment Coin. The Bullion coin's price changes according to the silver price at the time of purchase. But this coin is around $50-$60 to buy, which is a lot cheaper than the Proof Coin.
I did ask on one of the Facebook coin pages, which one would hold it's value for investment purposes. And the answer was the Proof Coin. So basically the Proof Coins are normally limited in their production, while the investment coins have a higher production.
For example this Proof coin was limited to 10,000 being minted, while the Bullion coin has a mintage of 150,000. So the proof coin is rarer, therefore should sell for a higher price.
I am hearing you regarding a gold coin, and I happen to have one. And I purchased it purely as investment.
This cost $100 for ½ gram of gold. I was not sure what I was expecting to arrive, but the coin is absolutely tiny. It is probably about the size of a finger nail. For me, this is the only gold coin that I would be able to afford. (only if I can pay off over time) LOL
I also love the 2023 50c Elizabeth Regina HM Queen Elizabeth II Commemoration Coin In Card. I didn't manage to purchase one when they were first released, so ended up paying the marked up price.
I have purchased the Royal Transition - 2023 Last Elizabeth II $2 & 2024 First Charles III $2 Al-Br Coin Pair
This place is also selling the set you are after for $29.95
As far as the silver coins, they should come in a coin capsule. So they need to stay in the capsule and make sure that you never take the coin out and touch it without wearing cotton gloves. But if you do get a silver coin without a coin capsule, you can easily buy them online. I would go for the more expensive varieties, as they provide better protection.
I love talking about coins and doing research. It calms me 😍
