    Again, You guys are right I did not think it would dip below and now it could continue down before it levels off... bad or good I don't know... I need to slow my roll. stop, look, and listen. lowest I have found 18x face on U.S. Coinage... I was going to bid or offer on a IGR 1/2 kilo- sequentially serial numbered, sealed in plastic with COA 385ea. offered a few buck less denied. waiting game now which I suck at..

    Well, it is opening at $19.51 today.

    I presume you are talking about silver

    My cash/CD position is about 15 times my bullion holdings. I’ll be an active buyer again. Probably double my purchases every $2 down.

    I bought $2000 worth late yesterday. I’m pleased and it was all silver coins and mostly Morgan Dollars from 1878-1904.

    Now you sit back and wait for spot to recover.

    Bought $57 dollars (current spot) worth of silver 1974 Bahamas proof set and the base metals coins were basically free.

    It goes up and it goes down. There is no recovery. Just cost averaging.

    Yes, it dropped below $20 and gold dipped below $1800. I'm thinking there's gonna be more days like this in our future but we'll see. Wish I had an inside scoop like the Youtubers! j/k laughhard.gif

    Most of the YT "PM experts" are directing their watchers to opposite positions and they themselves try to grab the difference. When things get tough they can throw in some political or national problems and scare the watchers into over committing. Imagine that !!

    Just get enough people together to influence direction.
    How many members would we need to influence?
    All acting in one synchronous movement like a computer AI bot?

    Spot price is only one component of the pricing of PM's. I'd need for spot to hit the $16-$17 range, WITH the exorbitant premiums to drop to $.79-$1.49/per oz we saw before the gouging started in March, 2020 when spot dropped to the $12/oz range.

    Yes, I know, I'm unrealistic with both of these 'wish list' requirements. I've heard it hear on CT ad infinitum. The thing is, if both of these parameters are not met simultaneously, I just won't buy again. No biggie. My hoard is big enough to never buy again at these prices. I'm very ok with that.

    When spot hit the $12/oz mark in 2020, and there was nowhere to buy it at those prices, and sellers began adding $5-$7/oz premiums, all my Ag silver buying ceased. Spot dropped to the lowest it had been since about 2009 and yet there was none to be had.....unless of course you were willing to pay $17-$19/oz with the premium. That price was higher than the spot price just a month prior with the realistic premium of $.79-$1.49/oz.

    Fortunately for me I've been an accumulator for over 50 years. I had the historic benefit of buying Ag when spot was still in the $2-$6/oz range. New/younger collectors didn't have that luxury, so if they want to accumulate Ag now they are relegated to paying these extortionary premiums. I feel for all of you in that boat. Hopefully you will get to see those spot/premium prices I stated above. If you do, I'll be buying along with you.

    The paper price is one thing, but the physical price is much higher. They call it a “premium”, but it’s just the difference between paper and physical.

    You know the mint will lowering their prices since it dipped below the 20-century mark. LOL The BLUE BOOK on U.S. Coins says it ASE prices are based on 15.00 spot value silver price. It may be right again if it drops

    It’s about living in a high portion of the third largest metro int nation…and having several good shops within 15 mins of work.

    $19.25 at the moment, with Coinflation's melt calculator under 14x FV.

    I'm not ready to call a bottom.
