Another thing this generation is missing is that in really rough times collector’s value disappears. A numismatic premium requires relatively stable and prosperous times. This is true on both a micro and macro level.

In personal hard times, a collector may be forced to sell at distressed prices. (melt value)

On a macro level, as a pioneer in private money these gold pieces promise to increase greatly numismatically with the success of bitcoin. However, should we fail to restore sound money and civilization collapses, gold relics also tend to get melted. This is why the Egyptian Tomb of Tutankhamun was such a rare find.

Gold coins have the advantage of having a base money value with a potential numismatic value minimizing the risk of loss.

One particular bitcoin collectible comes to mind that has the same collectible properties as gold coins.

It should further be noted that numismatic premiums tend to narrow in bull markets and widen in bear markets. So do not be surprised if unpeeled Casasius bitcoin holds its value and gains in premium numismatic value during this bear market.
