Nice coin you have there!! The artistry on some of the coins out there are quite incredible, it's hard not to be enticed every so often to add some bling to your bars!
At least the decorated coins carry their base metal value, and then some will have a certain "collect-ability" aspect to them too. It's a win either way in the long term.
I've been stacking investing in silver for only a short time, but knowing my money is going into something that will maintain value makes it that much easier to part with some paper here and there.
