Well damn you throw out a word like "numismatic" and I might as well just admit I'm wrong and then go jump off a cliff.

I'll grant you coins made of more valuable metal have more value. And bullion... that's not collecting in the sense I'm referring to that's just a different store of value.

Hoarding gold like a dragon is cool. Fine, some of your coins are probably cool too. I just see a headline like "30k worth of coins" and instantly feel very suspicious.

Yep. That's one of those things where there might be a "book" value, but in the end you still need to find someone to pay that. So in the end it is worth what someone will pay for it. Even if it is bullion you're not going to get a buyer that will pay the spot price. It is almost always below that unless it has some kind of numismatic value as well.
