Lots of knowledgeable folks here that can help with question. yeah, it wasn't long ago in 1980 when it hit $49 and that was in 1980 dollars. I think the fundamentals are better for silver than gold too. Besides the price ratio issue, there is the never ending demand from the ever expanding high tech manufacturing world. It's all a crapshoot in the end though.   10-07-2009, 06:08 PM   #4 (permalink) pappy-o coinoisseur     Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: SoCal Posts: 767 My Mood: Welcome aboard Sam , lots of great folks here : )   10-07-2009, 07:09 PM   #5 (permalink) rzage What Goes Around Comes A     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Chicago Posts: 5,449 My Mood: Sam welcome to CoinTalk , looks like you caught the collecting bug while buying silver .
