<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 447725, member: 3011&quot;]If the $1.50 uncirculated morgan is worth about $30 now, it was approximately a 7% annual return over 40+ years without doing anything except owning a collectible with no investment characteristics.&nbsp; This is a reasonable preservation of purchasing power for a passive approach to just owning something that is a decent inflation hedge.&nbsp; And you are correct that if anyone had the ability to get out when silver prices went crazy in 1979-80 and get back in a few years later, the return would have been much better but perhaps unlikely since many people have trouble selling things that are rapidly appreciating in value.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 250 year view doesn&#039;t really concern me; but I don&#039;t consider today&#039;s silver prices to be particularly high relative to everything else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
