Haha I have a collection of coins from my father. Before that from my grandfather. Went through hands. They're also all worth nothing. But at least most of them were actually in circulation.
I was very interested in the MDM stuff at the time, only to realize that, as far as I understand it correctly, the things are hardly worth more than the melt value, which is just below the purchase price of bankable coins.
That's why I separate fun from investment. While the inherited collection contains coins such as 1921 emergency money, which is usually not worth much, but is a piece of history, I actually mainly collect €2 collector coins that I (or my girlfriend) get at the till.
Gold would be investment coins/ $EWG2

@SchlaubiSchlumpf Unfortunately, it's exactly as you described with the MDM stuff😅🫣. You can also combine fun with investment if you approach precious metals correctly😁. For example, I only physically hold British Sovereigns or South African gold rims because I really like the coins on the one hand and, on the other, a number of Sovereign monarchs and vintages are so common that they are virtually traded at spot prices werden👌🏻. Of course, you shouldn't look for jubilee years or anything like that, then it fits😂.

@All-in-or-nothing right. My girlfriend has inherited 3 ounces of gold rim. But that's exactly why I want to have even more precious metal at home 😁 I also think it's really chic. Maybe when I buy a house and can get a heavy safe
