One Silver Eagle is now $42.86//////UPDATE PAGE 10 NOW $43.44!!!

During the filming of the Wizard of Oz, Judy Garland was constantly fondled, grabbed, and sexually harassed by the munchkins. The munchkins were also partying and drunk every night during the filming. This is a true story. Search it an you'll see,

And Enron went from $90 in 2000 to $0. Silver will always be silver, but your "revenue producing" assets can be vaporized overnight. Pick the wrong horse, and you are toast.

Keep talking in circles, lmao

That is a lie, it never broke through $50 in 1980. Inflation corrected for our time it would mean $130 today.
IOW, $130 in today's fiat would equal its high.
Bragging on the price controls on silver are we?

People saying precious metals are not worth having then someone explain to me why are countries are hoarding precious metals. [ I’ll wait ] the big central banks need to throw their metals into the ocean because the value of them is really worthless according to most. Follow the metals right to the big banks.

Yes, I misread the chart, it's inflation adjusted.
Still, you got your ass kicked if you bought in 1980.

They know silver will be going to the moon......

Right now coin dealers will offer to buy that Eagle for about $1 over spot at about $26.50.

It is worth having a little silver, but don't overdo it at these prices, and don't neglect your other preps. Be discreet about how you use silver or any other barter goods during a crisis so you don't paint a target on your back. Silver is nice because even though it tarnishes it doesn't spoil. Store it somewhere safe you can easily reach. Not a bank, not your vehicle, but not necessarily your home. Even a roll of merc dimes, or having a dozen eagles gives you an advantage, but the time to "back up the truck" has passed. The internet is littered with posts of regret from people who loaded up the last time silver spot hit $40.

Some regular joes make money off of retail precious metal coins, medals, rounds, and bars. People online always brag how they got all these coins a billion percent under spot. Yeah ok. Bullion isn't a great strategy for profit. It is hard to time the markets. It's a defense to preserve wealth, it's there to maybe to help in a crisis if you're careful, and it's there to help you rebuild after the crisis is over.


Why are premiums so high? Somebody at cointalk last year shared some good thoughts. "Paper" silver is a game that has little to do with real silver, but rising premiums could be a sign of dwindling supply of physical silver bullion. Coin dealers do not bother to increase their buy-back prices because buying a few coins from collectors will never match their needs like a wholesaler.

There is a lot in play.
Forces work against rising prices.
Maybe rising spot eventually draws out more sellers. In a way, that's a shame. It's one thing if old silverware gets melted, but it makes me sad to read stories about all the historical silver coins getting melted.

Industrial demand could drop.


On the other hand, forces push prices higher. You can see from Investopedia how important Russia is to the global silver supply, and sanctions will squeeze that supply tighter.

Very few people in America today know what a silver coin looks like, or its value. I don't blame younger people. Older generations removed the silver from circulation long before they were born so they never had a chance to use silver.

IF we have currency collapse, you need your other preps first. A little silver might help you. People will learn fast in a crisis what has value, and there may be some willing to trade for silver. Again if you use it during the crisis be careful. Stuff like merc dimes look familiar enough to look like money but weird enough that people maybe believe it's not copper nickel.

Why would you stock up on matches, instead of just stoking up on Bic lighters? One lighter would start a lot more fires than a box of matches. Is there an advantage to matches over lighters?

Why do big central banks own metals. The banks are dumb as rocks for holding them stupid shiny little metals.

I'm a matches guy. I burn wood and start a fire every morning with a WOODEN MATCH. The point is they ain't no matches no where !

He's saying silver looks attractive because the economy is breaking. That's by design by the way.

Everything has a shelf life. I think sealed, stored fuel for a reusable lighter would last a long time. You have to store the disposable lighters properly otherwise the fuel evaporates over time. I don't know the shelf life of matches. Some say 2-3 years. Some say indefinitely.

Go back and review your chart and you will find the $50 spike in price was a brief thing, over in a day or two.
Most stackers were selling into the spike, they understood the cyclic nature of the manipulations.
The stupid lost money. The wise either made money or held on through the spike.

The next big spike will come and when it does the price will never fall back. Things have changed now.

J.P. Morgan holding a billion ounces of silver. Stupid asses don’t know that it is worthless. Then take china and Russia got that shit stacked to the ceiling dumb asses and i thought they were smarter than that.

I wasn't saying it isn't good to have small weight silver, it is!

My point was that buying american eagles is a ripoff beyond compare.

People who won't buy any silver other than that are the ameritards that have stars and bars all over their house and car and want to go fight Russia. They are irrationally 'patriotic'. A right wing virtue signal move.

A 1/4, 1/2, or 1 oz chunk of .999 generic silver is a way better play than any eagle stamped as a US currency and priced to the moon.

Anyone who says you shouldn't have any precious metal stockpile at all is just as dumb - they think the dollar will last forever because that is all they have ever known.

We don't have that long and we'll struggle even with metals.

^ or they are even worse they are cryptotardz.

Fine, gold and silver are going up.. but so is everything else..

HODL anything useful before two years ago and you're richer than you were.

If I had the choice between metals or farm, pond, tools, tractors, trucks, livestock, airplane, guns, ammo, radios, blah.. I'd take the use-able goods that will POOF!.. turn into gold.

Don't have the land? Build a vehicle, build a boat!

Reward for hoarding metals is situational dependent.. as in not 100%... and then you still have to offload it.. safely.

And if the nwo beast currency squats down one day (it will), what makes you think your metals won't be illegal like the gold act of 1934?..

The beast is far more evil than Franklin Roosevelt.

When American eagles go to $200 and ounce it’s not a rip off.

you can still get Canadian maple leaf 1 oz .9999 for $41

Silver i left n moisture area fades, GOLD DOES NOT

The big banks didn’t buy them to lose money you can bet on that.

That's collector's price.

NEW silver eagles are getting more money than older ones.

Don't be a retard.

I don't do anything with cryptos but I don't hold anything against people who do. As I understand cryptos have different functions. A few take privacy seriously. Maybe cryptos have their place in the short term.

In the midterm, I'm skeptical about something like bitcoin as a currency. Despite the hopes everyone has for it, it strikes me as something far worse, as a trial run for a digital dollar "fedcoin."

You can put your crypto in cold storage, but I am still not sure how you use it when the power goes out.

Everyday, a year's mine production of PAPER silver is SOLD into the market, while only ONE DAY of physical silver is sold. That is why Palladium is 100 times higher than silver, and Rhodium is 1000 times higher.

What just happened to Nickel (shot from $15 to $50 in a couple of days, forcing the LME to close the window) is about to happen to all the platinum group metals, since the shorts are higher than they have ever been IN HISTORY.

Silver is still only $25 a coin.


Retards are driving prices up and retards are paying.

During the W-ei-mar hyperinflation, an ounce of gold could buy a city block in downtown B-er-lin.

Nobody cashed out a life insurance policy, because the postage cost more than the life insurance would pay out.

Over the last two years, one third of all dollars, that ever existed, have just been created, out of thin air.

Ahhhh, but you can eat paper.

Maybe you should stick with your fake paper money so you can eat it.

Its $25 an ounce right now. - says Kitco

I don't think it got that high, but lets assume it did. Using a real inflation rate of 8.5%, adjusted for inflation that would be a silver price of:

$130(1+0.085)^(2022 - 1980)
= $4,000 per ounce.

Do you see the fallacy in your statement? Silver is the most manipulated price on the planet, they do it with naked shorts in the future's market. There is more paper silver sold in 3 days trading than is mined in an entire year, same with gold.

The reason the bullion banks get away with it is because on the prospectus of each future's contract it states that in the event of a failure to deliver the physical metal at contract maturity, the owner of the contract must accept payment in fiat dollars calculated by the spot price on the day the contract matures.

Very few people stand for delivery of a future's contract, they roll it over or sell it for fiat. They don't want to be 'bothered' with the metal part and parcel of our immediate gratification and lazy society. But that will all change in the very near future.

$25 for a paper "I owe you".

Have them put physical silver in your hand for that price. It's not going to happen!
