Gold and silver investors have, no doubt, been excited by the remarkable rally that these precious metals have seen. However, collectable gold and silver coins have an additional worth above the intrinsic value of their metal content.

Gold has smashed through another psychological barrier, leaping past $3,600 an ounce after a weak U.S. jobs report intensified expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut next week.
