I have some that looks like that. It’s in a bag my grandma gave me. I am going to give it to my kids, hopefully they can pass it on too
How much does something like that go for? So instead of collecting, say america coins, you collect other coins from other countries????
Holy crap, I lost this thread and couldn't even find it using search. I wanted to tell everyone that Apmex had a flash 5 hour sale last week with silver premiums as low as $2.49oz for 100oz bars. I picked up some of these 10 oz'ers at $2.69oz over spot. I'll take 2.69 over 4.69 any day of the week.
They are usually a tad overpriced but this was a gift. I’ll get silver from other countries sometimes (Canada, UK, Mexico) but prefer old US stuff.
The flash sale if I remember right was 2.49/oz for 100oz bars, 2.59oz for kilo's, 2.69/oz for 10 oz bars, and 2.79/oz for 1oz. They pop up every now and again and I tried to post it here, but couldn't find the thread. They usually do spot sales on their budget brands, 9Fine, or Pioneer metals but this time it was their main Apmex brand.
Buy 10 oz Silver Bar - Ace of Spades | APMEX They have 10 oz bars in the shapes of the four Aces. Love these.
If it does drop back below 18 and goes as low as 15 I might have to take some cash out of my IRA and stock up a bit more. And then just keep waiting, lol. I've got to say that it is a nice feeling knowing that I own something that even if the $ goes tits-up I still have something that will be worth more than paper afterwards.
I seen a piece somewhere once that pretty much gathered if there was such a horrible time economically that metals wouldn’t be the great value as expected. Who will trade food for it if it really came down to a Stone Age situation? It’s interesting as metals have held up for a long time.
Yep. I have no Idea how an extreme situation would play out today. In the midst of anarchy pm's would be all but useless. You can't eat them. But afterwards any type of structure would require something like pm's to start barter, trade and or some kind of monetary system.
I hope it does drop lower or stays around $20 - at least till harvest season. Lol. I look at it as an insurance policy. However, I do think there is a damn good possibility it will skyrocket. Seems like the perfect storm is brewing for this to occur. This Green New Deal will be limited because of silver supply unless technology is developed. EV’s, solar panels, etc will increase demand. If COMEX is unable to make good on contracts, the stock and bond markets, heck even USD could collapse. Triple digit silver within the next 10 years seems plausible. RD
“Extreme situation” is the term I needed for my entire post. But as long as it could be traded it would be good. After reading a book some years back about the Lewis and Clark run I thought about hoarding beads and tobacco.
