*Official* Silver/Gold thread

silver spot currently $27.36

ebay 1oz coins are listed in the mid 30-mid 40 range.

1oz silver "doge coins" are bidding over $100 and a "wallstreetbets" coin is on a preorder for ~$50 apiece. the doge has outpaced the "trump 2020" coins as far as novelty coins go these past couple weeks :laughing:
 
as to the whole "whaddaya do with it", well, seeing the amount of novelty coins really makes me think that buying raw and casting novelty coins would be a fun hobby.
 
So this one is a little off beat but I think it fits best here. I was looking at my change jug today and began wondering if anything in there is worth more than face value...

What coinage is silver and of what years?

pre 1964.

Likelihood of you finding them in general circulation is low.
 
Mr Stubs
you're not going to find any silver in your change, maybe a dime a year
however, if you are ever handed something funky in your change, it could mean a kid, or a junky just turned in their coin collection, sweettalk the cashier real quick about getting those half dollars or silver dollars for your kids tooth fairy money....

at this point, pre 1982 pennies have extra copper, $.02 worth, and nickels are probably worth $.06

A billionaire, or almost billionaire named Kyle Bass was buying truckloads of nickels and storing them. If you have the room to spare I guess.

if you don't already own some silver, I'd buy some for the long haul

I do have some silver, but of course not enough.

I just would hate to turn in that 5gallon jug full of everything and have a few nuggets slip through the cracks.

I believe anything before 65' is 90% silver. Anything between 65' and 70' is 40% silver. After 70', it's worthless.

We're in weird enough times that you might as well just stick that aside for later.
If there were hyper inflation, the coins metal value could become worth 10x face value on gray or black market.
Also, in several instances of other country's currency crisis, paper dollars were pulled from circulation, or revalued, but coins were left alone, due to cost of re coining them. Ie, your $1 bill is now worth 10 cents, but your dime is still worth 10 cents.

Far fetched, but history rhymes. I'm not actively seeking coins, but I'm not casing them in currently.

They killed Kennedy in late 63 and probably already printed the 64 coins with 90% silver

they ran his half dollars with 40% silver till 70 I think
 
look at the edge of the dimes and quarters
willing to bet there ain't many halfs in that bucket :fo2:

if there's copper visible it's worth face value
the silver ones are just silver on the edge
 
40 posts in and no pictures. Slackers :flipoff2:

Not only for hyper-inflation reasons, but should things go "mad max" those junk coins can always be used as "shot" instead should your shotgun reloading supplies dwindle.

Don't have a reloader? You can at least use it for barter but why barter it off to someone you don't know who may use it against you later?

The coming "great reset" should be "fun"....
 
What is a 1 dollar silver certificate worth these days?
It looks to be in pretty good shape, we've had it for 25 years or so, no sentimental value.

I remember as a child being on multiple month “camping trips”. Although it was actually living in a wall tent by the rivers as my parents dredged for gold.

Those jars always bring back memories.

Agreed.

He should just convert all those coins to fiat dollares, then proceed directly to midget hookers & blow while that fiat sill has any purchasing power...

Yeah, it's probably cheaper to drill a penny for a washer right now. Soon enough, quarters will make sense

Silver pulled back a little, and in stock, might not be a bad time for somebody wanting to get in.




I've placed my bets, I'm not buying or selling FWIW

I thought it would be fun to pull up this chart again and see where silver spot had gone, pretty damned awesome that PAE put up a live link of sorts. Posted the end of august, currently showing the price in mid october

Daily Silver Price History

going to a daily history, looks like end of Aug, spot was ~$26 to the ~$25 today

19 March was the low for the year at $12.12

early August was the yearly high at just under $30


so yeah, depending on how close you got to buying in mid march, fuck it, now might be as good of a time as any to sell and take the ~doubling of funds and either move it into something else speculative.

I took my stock market "winnings" from marchish and got my van running, well worth it :smokin:

I suppose I still have some value at my old age.
 
hey any of you got a recommendation for a gold pan? I got a bunch of buckets of shit I'm gonna try panning out over the winter
figured I'd ask before I just go on ebay and sort by price

I don't follow the ups and downs, but one of my brothers does. He says it doesn't matter what the spot silver is because the "Mark up" is all over the place. He believes it's all manipulation. I believe this also, but when the price really starts going up, they won't be able to hold it back. That goes for all metals.
 
of course this thread's just about gay ass investment banker bullshit just like the crypto thread
take a subject that's got the possibility of being interesting and turn it into a spreadsheet with a powerpoint attached to it

I miss the alaskans we used to have

I guess if you see it that way. I penciled out that I could work at a copper mine for paper dollars and buy a refined troy oz of silver every hour, that's more efficient than moving to Idaho and digging.
I've drug 10 tons of scrap steel across the scales this week, that part of my "portfolio" is up 4x:flipoff2:

When it gets interesting, the premium rises.
Or if the manipulators drive the computer price down to $12, the miners and refiners don't have to sell it, it's theirs. Walk up to a cowboy at a gas station with an old diesel pickup hooked to a stock trailer and demand he sell the truck at blue book:laughing:

It's highly manipulated, that's a fact, my opinion is there will be a big fucking home run in my lifetime
