Of course, the value goes up and down, and there's no guaranty of the value when you decide to sell it.
Problem I've had... A good portion of my silver was bought as "collectible" items. Medallions, commemorative coins, etc. As I've sold some of it, none of it sold for any more than melt value. It was purchased originally for far more than melt value. So, when folks buy Franklin Mint (etc.) products, and pay a premium, do so only because you enjoy looking at the stuff, as the value is seldom more than melt value.
And the Franklin Mint stuff comes packaged so nicely, in albums, or framed. It takes up much more room for this presentation than buying unpackaged coins, rounds, bouillon etc.
