<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 945940, member: 15199&quot;]When you are in the middle of it, it is hard to see a reversal coming. When it is down and slowly keeps going, you have to have a reason besides &quot;investment&quot; to buy it. I bought some ASE, but most was more or less bulk 90%. I once bought a 2x2 box of over 60 1945-micro S&nbsp; mercury dimes @ 60 cents each. Still have about 40 of them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, A 500 mercury dime bag EF-MS ( although very few MS) lots of sliders for 50 cents each. Sold the lesser grades as bullion, kept the better. Sounds like great deals now, but just people selling before it went lower for the most part. I was one of the first to sign up for teletrade. Used printed catalogs mailed to you, and bid by touch tone telephone. In 1986, bought a MS-62 St. Gaudens for $360 ( including vigor but not shipping) and the spot was 340 something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, it is somewhat the same only the other extreme. Someday, some one will ask how it was for the &quot;new&quot; old timers when their $30 silver crashed to $10. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Gosh, I sure sound like an old timer .......dag nabit !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
