At last check, gold was up close to 3% for the day, but silver was up over 5%. If silver's still in the range of $35 or higher when the big state show rolls around later this month, I might need to lighten the junk pile a bit...
I mainly like looking at the rising 'value' of my large common world 92.5% silver coins...that I bought for $24 about 8 years. ;-)
Metals are going up in dollars because the dollar is losing value. When silver starts to reflect supply/demand, then I’ll sell
I've been waiting for a while to unload the silver proof state quarters that I used to get from the US Mint. If we ignore inflation and opportunity costs, I might break even on the set soon.
LCS dealers are still stingy with buying circulated coins. $23 per coin (and not culls) isn't moving my needle one bit to sell. If silver continues to increase in value I may auction some rolls on the fleaBay. Sellers are getting $27-30 each for small lots of 20.
Maybe...history of 'market values'? See Blackberry in June 23, 2006, then June 20 2008...than March 13 2009...as just one example. And cell phones has literal utility versus a chunk of metal. Good luck to you though. I will be selling whenever I'm sure I'm 'profiting' ~15% or more.
