Is it better to keep kenns 90% or sell trade?

[Darth Walker]

I was thinking in buying ASE with the 90% I find CRH. Is it a good idea If I sell 90% virtually each ASE will cost me 2 1/2 90 kenns or $2.50.

Keep all of your junk silver until it is time to "trade-up" to gold.

Every couple of years, the gold to silver ratio flips between high and low.

A few years ago, I traded 43 "junk" Ben Franklin halves for 3 1/10 Gold Eagles. That was an awesome trade for me.
This year, I traded those 3 AGE's (0.3oz) for a tube of 20 silver rounds. That was a very good trade for the dealer.

After the 2 trades, I got 20oz of fine silver for $21.50.

When the ratio flips the other way, I'll trade junk silver for fine gold and hold that until it's time for another trade.

Hey DW, it just depends on your personal preference I think. Love to know where you're selling to where an ASE is equal to 2 1/2 90% though.

Bright and shiny ASEs sure are nicer to look at than a couple 90% Kennedys. And since you found the Kennedys CRH, $2.50 may be a small price to pay for you to upgrade.

Personally, to me silver is silver. If I was going to upgrade anything, it would be 40% to .999. Taking a little hit to consolidate seems more worth it to me than trading 90%.

There really isn't any monterary value to trade silver for silver. You are usually going to have to pay a premium for the trade.

Sounded like a good deal, $2.50 in "found" 50-cent Ken's for a $1-ASE, is as good of my find of an ASE for $1.00 at a bank. Good find @ congrats.

I suggest trading for something that will gain value over time, such as libertads, Perth mint kookaburras or Chinese silver pandas. ASE, sells for 3/4$ over spot, but when you go to sell them most dealers will only give you 1/2$ over spot.

I'm trying to figure out your math here. How is 2 and a half 90% Kennedys $2.50? Wouldn't 5 Kennedys found CRH cost you $2.50?

Correction and apology: My math was wrong. My LCD Sells ASE today at $17.57 each And pays me for the 90% Kenns $10.97 Per dollar MI Hunter was rigth. There is still a premiun you have to give up.

Then it is 3.20 kenns for one ASE
