Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gold

Damn! Apparently the guy who was in line after me bought every last one of them. All gone. Great deal for both of us, but I should have taken a larger bite of that apple. Good deals like that are becoming hard to find.

But, the guy who sold the pawn broker the dimes, also sold him a crap load of Brilliant Uncirculated 1957 Washington quarters, so I bought $3.00 face value of those at the same premium, i.e., 2.14 Troy Ounces of pure silver. Same deal, just in quarters instead of dimes. I imagine those won't last long, either.

Uhhh…90%….

Yes, 90%. It takes $1.40 in face value to equal one ounce of pure silver. That's how how you calculate the silver in "junk" US (pre-65) silver coins.

Silver maples were $28.77 today
$27.92 for silver krugerrand

How many did you have to buy to get that price? I'm thinking 500 ounces. That's a $14,385.00 shell out. If you want to buy that much, that's a good deal, for sure.

100

What flintlocke is basically saying is that gold isn’t for him.

Keep stacking
They can’t manipulate forever

That’s true for every investment or hedge.
Some find value, some don’t...
That’s why no matter what the commodity, someone is selling and someone is buying.

Still a big shell out to get that deal.

Heard a guy say once that, "Gold is for bribing the border guards". Pretty much SHTF stuff.

And silver is for barter....

Yes.

I wasn’t dissing your deal...
You didn’t overpay.

Contextually, it seemed like that's what you were suggesting, but okay.

Contextually it supports a fair deal. You didn’t pay much more than new silver maples. You paid $29/Oz vs $28.77/Oz

I certainly wouldn’t throw .23 in your face as a dissing...

And I'm assuming that the $28.77/Oz deal is for a 100 ounce purchase. Additionally, they aren't making anymore US 90% silver coinage, and the supply of Brilliant Uncirculated US 90% silver coinage is likely getting pretty slim nowadays. My understanding is that they melted most of it down in the late 1970s through early 1980. When the bottom fell out, the mints put a hold on the melt down program, and what was left (not a whole lot vs what existed before 1978) went back to coin dealers.

Yes 100 , next break is 300 then 500.

The real elephant in the room , (after they crash our current fiat system. Which fiat systems average 40 years, we are year 47. Thank you Nixon) is do they make private ownership of PMs illegal again?

I think gold or silver is more valuable than any paper money. Only difference between a one and a twenty is the number printed on it. Too bad we are off the silver or gold standard.

Thank Nixon for that
