Would you sell cards to buy gold or silver coins?

Considering that you are asking strictly as an investment safeguard, yes-

I recently went the other way. I sold gold to buy some silly rare cards.

If cards are up and gold was down then I would, otherwise probably not.

Hi Peter, i seen some of your post on the coin side. Seem like your very knowledgeable.
I had a old CC morgan silver/president kennedy one, still have many half dollars and such.
But as a novice, what coin is a must-have for a beginner/invester?
Others please chime in as well.

thanks guys for your responses. I appreciate it.

Do you guys recommend buying silver coins or silver bars?

Is it better to buy one american eagle gold coin or 50 american eagle silver coins (the approx amount of silver coins you could get for the price of one gold coin)

or should i be buying junk silver coins?

Thanks

I would stick with gold over silver, personally.

Silver to me is just something that goes up and down and doesn't have the attractive long term characteristics that gold has. I would not sell cards to buy silver. But I am no expert.

Chris coin collecting is extremely diverse, can't really say any given coin is a must have, and much depends on your budget. Certainly the Morgan Dollar is a classic coin, but the values vary wildly depending on date and of course condition.
