    Default The One that Got Away

    Was there ever a numi that you fell in love with, but due to money shortage, issue limits/quick sell out, or global/era restrictions missed buying?

    of course now I'm selling what little I got left....

    This is my great white:

    I do not think that silver art bars are considered numismatics but there were several rare silver art bars that got away from me in the past. Some of the reasons that I missed buying certain rare silver art bars are 1.) getting outbid on ebay, 2.) not having enough cash to buy some of those rare silver art bars when they appeared, 3.) Someone else saw that particular rare silver art bar at a coin show and bought it before I got there, and 4.) Lack of knowledge on a particular silver art bar which caused me to not recongnize what it was.

    The good news about this is that I had second chances on some of those rare silver art bars to get them and I ended up buying them when they showe up a second but I had to wait a while for them to show up elsewhere because these were rare silver art bars with very low mintages which made them very hard to find even on ebay. Hopefully some of the other rare silver art bars that are also on my silver art bar wish list will also show up.
    ATTENTION!!!!!! Read this very carefully: My gut feeling on silver is just that.......A gut feeling. I have absolutely nothing to back up my gut feeling with.


    My gut says........Silver will NOT hit and hold $50 before 2015.

    DISCLAIMER: I am not a '70's silver art bar expert. I just try my best to play one on the Internet.

    Yes. It's true. I am a silver art bar "hoor" and I am proud of it.

    Nope, I got everything.

    EDIT: Must have been asleep, I would love a gold Guinea from the 1700's
