This is reminding me of the peak of the silver and gold spikes in 2011...
"Loss of present value": the factor that takes all the fun out of cent and nickel hoarding. :rolleyes:
It's a hot commodity, sourced in large part from a hot spot. I'd love to see world events take the wind out of its sails over the next few days...
You'd like to buy when the time is right. Problem is, that requires knowing the future. When I was buying a lot of silver, I looked for...

So, about $2.50 an hour? Still "pays" better than roll searching, and probably more fun as well. :)
I'm not super-confident about the 1914-D cents and 1921-S nickels (two of each) that the seller already sold. But given the other stuff they've...
Okay, then my comments about current pricing on them obviously aren't relevant. I don't know whether the premium on these was lower years ago. If...
Gold, actually, but yeah, a new strike. Apparently 70s aren't nearly as prevalent for this issue as they are for ASEs or AGEs, though...?
So the coin you posted was for sale at 1.1x melt recently, but you didn't buy it? Or it's one you bought 5+ years ago? (Not trying to be hostile,...
There's never been a better time to be selling a house, at least around here, and at least if you don't have to buy another one. I don't know...
I stand corrected, then. Goes to show that I'm not part of the market for these. :oops:
That is a $2.50 Sesquicentennial gold, right? With gold a bit under $2000, that puts 1.1 melt around $275. If they're selling multiples of this...
Yeah, and I once found an 1895-O Morgan in with the commons at a pawnshop. The occasional rip or cherry-pick doesn't really disprove the thesis,...
I'd be reluctant to pay almost 1.5x face for a gold restrike, especially at that size. I'm pretty sure I had someone offer me one below melt at a...
See above. My guy was trying to get away to see the Battle of the Blues. It's kind of a big deal around here. (apparently) :rolleyes: Edit: I did...
Unfortunately my Morgan guy was already packing up to go watch the game. Maybe next time.
Yep. I haven't lost a penny, in realized losses. In 2008, my 403(b) lost half its value. It came back over the next couple of years, and the...
I wish this were true. But it seems like people have decided that software just naturally never works completely correctly, and that it's more...
I flipped my MS62 Peace dollar last year, figuring the price was likely peaking. We'll see. I think I'll take some of my 1921 Morgans to the show...
