<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 728004, member: 66&quot;]You have tohave a time frame to go with that.&nbsp; In 1963 the SVDB in Good was $125 dolars.&nbsp; In 1988 twenty five years later it was $245.&nbsp; That is about a 2.5% per annum return on investement. Less than the so called rate of inflation and much less than the real rate of inflation during that period.&nbsp; Yes it has done better since then but if you go back to when it was $100 tlll the $1500 figure the time span is long enough the the annual ROI is still nothing to get excited about.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years back someone made the comment about the GSA doar that he wished he had bought up a whole bunch of them back in 72 when they were sold,&nbsp; I sad that woudn&#039;t have been good because the GSA dolar were sofat for so long that if he had bought them in 72 his ROI would have been roughly 1% per annum.&nbsp; But that if he et others hold them and had bought them up heavily ust two years before the time of his comment his ROI would have been over 200% per annum.&nbsp; And since that time they have once again remained pretty flat so if you missed the boat and didn&#039;t buy them at just the right time once again your ROI is not looking good.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>By mid 1968 the silver coins were heading toward twice their face value in metal value.&nbsp; Most of the siver in circulation had already been siphoned off and it would have toaken so work to get a bag out of circulation.&nbsp; If you bought a bag it would have probaby cost you close to $1750.&nbsp; At todays price your ROI would be about 5%, a little better than the official inflation rate and probably a little worse than the real rate.&nbsp; You would have done much better to have sold after just ten years, locked in a 26% ROI, and invested in something else.&nbsp; Holding after a peak just erodes your return.&nbsp; The problem is identifying the peak.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
