    Yesterday at the local X-Mart the Silver Certificate and last night CRH'ing another 1998 WAM. Not bad at face value. img319.jpg img320.jpg img321.jpg img322.jpg

    Hmm, reminds me of how paper money always returns to it's proper value - zero - after the mint suspended payouts on silver certificates in 1968.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    What one silver dollar would buy in 1914, would cost silver $1.85 in 1964. Silver wasn't really as stable as people think.

    VERY carefully, lol. Markus used to tease me all the time about how fast I got my coins into 2X2's so quickly.

    Indeed, but look at the value of the dollar, ie 1914, 1964 and now 2017. Inflation always exists - and it certainly was a factor in the demise of silver in money - by then silver hit the $1.29 an ounce and coin was close to being worth more than the face value.
