<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RGJohn777, post: 1009299, member: 22102&quot;]That&#039;s really the truth Evom777. Nobody knows. However, during the great silver melt of the 80&#039;s&nbsp; coins were melted that today are regarded as collectible. Proof sets from the early 60&#039;s for instance. </p><p>&nbsp;Will you or I sell them for melt in the months ahead? That will probably be an economic decision. If gas costs $5-$6 a gallon ( it&#039;s about $2.75 here now) and I can get $25&nbsp; at melt (currently $13.60) for a &#039;64 proof set, and I&#039;ve got a few hundred of them I&#039;ve been holding for years to no purpose ( I actually know several such people, and they are not young), whatcha think is gonna happen? Good-bye proof sets, hello .999 ingots/rounds. And to double today&#039;s silver price is certainly not beyond the possible. Again, we don&#039;t know.</p><p>&nbsp;-----</p><p>&nbsp;That&#039;s what I saw happen the last go-&#039;round, when the world was gonna end if gasoline were to approach $1.00 /gallon any closer ( I recall 86.9 cents per gallon was a big motivator for folks to purchase motorcycles. Our big ol&#039; v-8 Fords ( 10-12 mpg) got a little to pricey to drive casually) .</p><p>---</p><p>&nbsp;So that&#039;s why I think everybody should be in the market, buying and retaining the bits they want, and re-selling the &#039;junque&#039; . &#039;Cause your junk is my treasure and vice versa. Some of us are going to find some real treasure, most of us will maybe just upgrade a tad, all of us will have great stories to tell when silver falls back to&nbsp;&nbsp; $$$??? or surges permanently to $$???, or stays precisely where it is for eternity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
