Silver crossed $60/oz today and it’s now just a few cents away from hitting $61/oz. It's gonna be a wild ride!

90 this week.
Looks like it will roll into next week before 90 is a reality.
Looks like the fighting to keep it down is going on.

The fun show in Orlando just broke all records...
line with over 1000 people waiting to get in i heard.

Silver crossed $80 today and I sold 20-oz to a local estate dealer for $69.50 an ounce. I bought the 20-ounces for $5.95 an ounce in 2000-2001. I now have lots of dough to waste on the Grands and Great Grands!

Was that the coin show? I heard about a show that was crazy, everybody swarmed in to buy up every bit of silver on the tables, lol.
 
Looks like Metals are coming back with a fury!

Silver is over $84oz and for the first time, Gold is now over $4,600 an ounce. Platinum and Palladium also rising strong, up between 3.5% - 4% in the last 24 hours.

Crazy times. A single mercury dime going for $5.00 to $7.00

I remember selling them for thirty cents a piece back in the 70's.
Then again we use to get a dozen silvers in a day.
Today a War Nickel is nearing $5.00

What are your thoughts on what silver prices will do to coins worth alot more the melt value.do you think they will go up as well.
Only by their original added value. If you bought a $30 melt value coin for $60 because of it's rarity and then the melt value went to $50. Your coin (all other things considered static) is worth $80. You might say, "But I paid double, it should be worth double".

That doesn't work, because ONLY the melt value increased. Not the demand for the rarity. Make sense?
 
Round and round it goes, where it stops, nobody knows.

$90 this week? $100?

And go try to buy a round.
Got a text saying a company only had 4 different items left in their inventory. 5 minutes later it was down to 1 item.
Everything else is on a call first or pre-sale basis.
The squeeze is happening.
 
It’s the age old question. Junk/melt versus numismatic value.
That goes for the family heirlooms. Melt it vs keeping it for the kids becomes a viable alternative.
Lots of silver cutlery went to the smelter and more again this time. Antique value vs melt value, folks are hesitant in paying for a high price silver tray. The shop sends it in now for melting when they might be higher even.

My sister got the family silverware. If I had it definitely would not part with it. I found plenty of silver on the beach! What’s that saying…. pigs get fat hogs get slaughtered. Family silver means much more however, if I was desperate, I would cash it in IMO!
 
Good morning stakers, hoarders, players, and the rainy day funders.
Yeah Buddy, it is a good morning and getting better!!

I suggest you do not use that site for your metals prices.

Try Kitco instead for real prices.
