    Has anyone else been "bit by the bug" as far as wanting to gather a bunch of silver?

    I've sold off most of my coin collection (save for some nice pieces) and been buying silver coins with it.

    I've also traded some extra stuff I had sitting around for silver.

    Anyone else been bit by the silver bug?

    Happened to me back in 09. I could not resist selling at 40 plus an ounce. I am glad I did.

    I've hit the silver bug way before now. In fact, I hit it before it hit $30 in '09

    I did back in 91, spent a lot of my spare money for a couple of years buying junk silver and silver dollars. Anytime I get bit by the bug I just dig out all of these old rolls.

    I bought several pounds of junk silver at $4.00 per ounce. Still have a few pounds left after two major sell-offs. I love silver! Sometimes being an old frrt has its advantages.

    Yeah, back in the 1970's. I experienced silver going from $5 or less to either $25 or $50, depending on which # you believe, then crashing back to $5-ish. A lot of the "new" silver buyers (buying in at $25 or more, say) have themselves convinced (I think) that there can't ever be another bear market in silver.....

    I got into it late (hoarding silver, that is). I bought a whack at $17 oz.. But it was nice to have a pile of scrap silver from my metal detecting finds.

    Thank goodness I'm not the only silver crazed guy out there! :) Remember: as inflation surges, the price of silver will as well. So just continue collecting my friends. It will be worth it in the end. ;)

    You are correct in saying this. Back in 2008 the pessimists said fuel would never go below $3 a gallon again. Well come January 2009 I was filling up for as little as $1.54 a gallon in Utah. Silver is poised to have a major crash sometime this year or so. It will once again be $5, $6 or $7 an once which will make silver coins affordable to buy. No longer will 90% silver coins be a "rich" mans coin. People of all budgets should be able to afford silver coins. Right now not everyone can afford to buy them like they used to due to the highly inflated and artificial price of silver. Everyone who bought at $20-$45 will really be kicking themselves once silver goes back down to what it was in the '90s and first half of the last decade.

    There is no evidence that supports this notion.
     
  16. The only certainty about the price of silver is there is none.
