<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1501258, member: 37356"]I agree, silver over the short term is highly manipulated and very volatile. People always look at coinflation.com when bidding. I did get those halves for well under melt but the seller used an expensive shipping method. For $8 he should have just put a stamp on it for 45 cents. I know what you mean about over head. I sold a 1913 wheat cent for a little over a buck and Ebay and Paypal took 46% total. Fortunately the cent cost nothing since someone found in their change and gave it to me. But for silver though right now it is a bad time to sell, great time to buy. I bought some junk silver. Silver is a nice long term investment though because of the steady increase and it is good hedge against inflation. Fortunately for me, when I started buying "junk silver" in March, I really mostly bought lower grade collector coins out of coin books I just thought were junk at the time because the prices hadn't been changed in a while and they cost the time. I went in buying junk but was being picky about it and returned one quarter because I didn't like the way it looked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
