<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25304699, member: 153164&quot;]Mainly for the war nickels, people have been cleaning them out at the 2 LCS&#039;s I go to. Another that I recently visited had a bunch of them, but they were $2.15 each, and the ones in this place (they sold about anything precious metal-wise) basically expected you to know the prices on everything, even though the prices were hidden and I was going in there for the first time.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yeah, I think it&#039;s <i>very </i>crazy that gold is at such a high price. Nowadays, if Guinness was to step in on the world record gold price, they&#039;d have to change it about every 15 minutes. Not too long ago, a commemorative $5 gold piece was about $532 on APMEX, but now the same piece can be over $600.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rather than intelligent guesses, I think you&#039;re spittin&#039; out straight facts. It is quite possible for silver to hit $35, as we have almost 8 months left in the year. I&#039;m hoping it&#039;ll go down so I can buy it, but I&#039;m glad that for once, silver didn&#039;t start going down when I talked about selling it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s a good point, but where I&#039;m coming from is where gold was not too long ago. A couple of months ago, it went almost below $1,900, and that&#039;s what concerns me. It is also true for silver, as last summer, it hit roughly $26.50 an ounce but fell shortly afterwards.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the quarter eagle, I am looking to sell it because it is basically destroyed. It&#039;s a love token, and is ex-jewelry, and the obverse details don&#039;t really give it any numismatic value. You wouldn&#039;t get much out of it over melt, and I&#039;d rather make $30 while I can, plus money on other coins, without risking a potential extreme loss.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sir, I think you found the best website to see all of this. It really seems like precious metals could go up quite a bit, <i>especially </i>if the economy doesn&#039;t get better. Currently I&#039;ll see what the future of gold looks like in the next month or 2 by checking prices, and I just might buy some.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What were the silver prices in the early 2000s? I know that in 2011, it was almost $50 an ounce, but I have no idea what it was before then. Knowing how foolish I was a year ago, I could&#039;ve had silver at about $20 an ounce after the premiums. That was early in the year, though, when my coin collection was very tiny, and the most valuable thing in it was a 1 oz silver bar that I got for less than melt.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really wish I knew more about coins and bullion then, because now I could&#039;ve made some money as a coin dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
