Coin Man 收藏幤之分配比例?

Blog 友 (Chic Wong) 在留言問 Coinman係咪專買呢類幣,還是都有買低溢幣或條?又如何分配比例呢?

Coin Man 認為這是一個好問題, 所以出文回應一下. 希望Blog 友 (Chic Wong)不要介意.

首先 Coin Man 在此要分享一下自己的經歷.

在2010年中, Coin Man 在Web 閱到孫柏文的文章談長城銀條 (10兩), 他叫人買銀條來投資. 那時 Coin Man 無無聊聊, 見幾得意, 便跟他的意見在中銀(中環分行), 買了5條作收藏玩意. 那時銀條價是 HKD 1333 (每條).

之後 Coin Man 都沒有在意, 過了幾個月, Coin Man 再跟進長城銀條在中銀的買入價 - 已經是HKD 1750 (每條).

Coin Man 發現了買入長城銀條好像有錢賺. 幾個月升了30%. 想了一會兒, 立即再打去中銀問有沒有長城銀條. 中銀的Sales 話無貨, 但可以留電話, 有貨便通知來買.  中銀的Sales 問Coin Man 要留多少條, Coin Man 說留"十條啦"! 過了1 個星期,  中銀的Sales 叫Coin Man 來買.

最後Coin Man 在2011 年頭賣回所有長城銀條給中鋃 @ HKD 2970. Total Investment Gain 大約84%.

在2011 年中, 再買了2 條作收藏之用 @ HKD 3220, 之後再沒有買賣. 為什麼? 因為銀價再沒有大幅上升.

Coin Man 第一次買低溢幣的Maple Silver / 1kg Coin / 10 OZ Silver Bar 是在 2012 年頭在LPM 買的. 平均價是 USD 28 - 32 per OZ, 現在都定時去LPM 買1 kg Coin / Silver Bar. 但沒有大手大手買入, 因為Coin Man 估計2012 的銀價不會大幅上升, 只會在 USD 26 - USD 32 橫行. 要等時機 !!!

Coin Man 第一次買收藏幣是2010,  買了RCM 的 Snowflake coin set, (有興趣請看Old Post)
http://coinman-sb.blogspot.hk/2012/04/canada-2009-crystal-snowflake-20-pure.html

其實現在到此"收藏幣"沒有令Coin Man 大賺錢, 最勁的例子是蒙古幣, Total Investment Gain 大約 440%. 但Coin Man 相信 "收藏幣", 才是真正的Gold Mint. 為什麼呢?

"收藏幣"是有錢人的玩意. 現在Coin Man 買的新幣沒有太大的上升空間, 最 但過了二三十年之後有如何呢? 五十年之後有如何呢?

Coin Man 現在買的新幣大多是 Low Mintage, 有Theme, 有主題, 有意思的.

    如其他Blog 友所說有價無市的 PM HR Dragon Coin.
    此Coin, Coin Man 有點投機的成分. 請Blog 友問問自己, 你們在追PM 生肖BU Coin 時, 有沒有給 Premium 找一此 low Mintage 的生肖幣呢? 如果 HR Coin 成氣候... "HR Dragon" 是第一隻HR生肖幣, Mintage 7500, 你們估要用幾多錢買返呢?

    寫了一大篇還沒有入正題 !!!
    Coin Man 的分配比例是?其實這個問題真的好私人. 我不想在此說出.... (希望大家 Blog 友明白). 但Coin Man 的決定是自己想要的 "收藏幣" 一定要在推出時買入, 之後再追貨, 又要給 Premium 被人賺.

    想像一下.... "收藏幣" 如古董.  新的"收藏幣"不能給你們立即的 Profit,  但經過時間的洗禮..... 分分鐘是無價寶!

    大家常說 Financial Melt Down, 金銀飛升, 但幾時先? 銀價升到 USD 100? 150?
    但政府印錢是事實, 錢大多, 收藏幣是一個投放的一個選擇.

    最後總結, 低溢幣的銀幣和收藏幣都有需要. 但分配比例是個人的決定.
    自己量力而為便可. 最重要是個人興趣.

    投資紀念幣既是一項專門的學問,初入行列者,本身應對錢幣有一定的興趣,且願意花時間研究以增進自己的知識;抱著長線的眼光,努力地去發掘有潛質的錢幣,多向專家請教,對各種金銀幣作有系統的研究,多留意市場的需求情況。

    你們的分配比例又是怎麼樣呢?
