Message:: [QUOTE="The Half Dime, post: 25385536, member: 153164"]I've recently been buying some, but I really do wish I would've started at the $1,600 level. Back when I started collecting coins, I felt like it was outrageous for a 1 oz AGE to be $1,880, but now I'd skydive for that price. If it was $1,600, though, I would be the first person in history to land on Mars (not kidding.... well, not too much). $13/oz? Whew, you must've been eyeballin' the market! For me, if silver goes back below $25/oz, the coin shops will have a money-makin' day for sure. When you mean classic, are you referring to pre-33? I know that a lot of people call classic gold that, which is why I was asking. If an XRF wasn't so expensive, you could see if those rocks had some gold in 'em! I doubt that a lot of them do, but you might could find a nice little bit in a geode. I'd say that's what killed the Liberty dollar. I don't fully stand by it, but mainly it's an uneducated guess. For silver, I personally would never buy at these prices unless it's junk silver for about $20 x face. I love junk silver, but for the people stacking the huge bars like 100 and 1000 oz...... I will never understand. I hope you mean just silver. If you was waiting for gold to be $18, you'd be old! LOL, I'd go broke if gold was $18. I wonder when you bought the gold. I was talking to a guy who works in one of my LCS's, and he said that back in 2002, he was buying 1/10 oz AGEs for $32.50.[/QUOTE]
