Sold my stash today......

[cdickrun64]

......just felt like it was time to cash out. Pay a few bills, save the rest.....maybe buy a 1916-d merc to finish off my merc set....or maybe a new driver.

Approx 16 months of 2 or 3 boxes per week (some dimes, mostly halves) produced a check for a bit over $2,600.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

congrats!!! Nothing like trading up for a key coin, especially one you need... and come to think, how much will that merc really cost you in face value?

feels good to let some go! I sold a little back in Sept, walked out with 3500 cash money!

nice work dick!!!!

 

[cdickrun64]

Thanks Biggee!!

 

[TimZim]

Nice great $$$ And its fun!!

Without knowing what you sold, it is impossible to know if you got a good deal or not. So I will just say that if you're happy, then I'm happy for you.

What a dick move! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Nice job on getting rewarded for your efforts.

Nice. I am waiting for silver to go up around $40 before selling a bunch of 40% rolls. I usually use 40% as play money and keep my other finds. Or once I sell my 40% I buy eagles and other premiums.

 

[Gilmore Happy]

MISTAKE! but then again, you are in NY where the AG is plentiful. you can recover that same amount within a year.

Sell on the spikes at least $40/oz+. Having cash in the pocket is a great boost of confidence though.

To each their own...Get the new PING driver!!!!

Did you get any tax forms when you sold?

 

[fistfulladirt]

Dick I thought you were saving silver for retirement...oh well sometimes you gotta pay the bills...sometimes

If you sell some today, you will get more tomorrow... if you desire the return today, then go for it... At least you got ahead of the big drop that is starting today--- down 1.76 already.

Easiest way to not have to sell your stash to pay off bills.

Have less bills!

Its amazing what living within your means does to the number of bills rolling in each month.

Dont use Rent-a-Center, that is the easiest way to lose money.

Its sad to hear of people selling their finds to pay off bills.

Some of us have student loans, its not about living within your means at that point. I can live a very meager life and still have debt galore and eventual bills galore-

Also, some people probably use this hobby as a means to supplement their income, so selling their stash is part of living within their means...

Yes, I CRH for living and it's my J.O.B!!. I get people ask me " Why are you selling them, silver is way below $50? " Well, I look it as, I"m the fisherman. They are plenty of fish out there. One gone other will be found soon, and fishermen sell at all prices!!!

I sold $150 in 40's, $56 in 90's and $1 in warnickels.....i got 93.74% of spot from Provident Metals.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

how much did you manage to sell the war nickels for? I know dealers are not willing to pay anywhere near melt for them because it cost more $$$ for them to refine... plus, the ban states you cannot melt nickels or pennies.

I think you did a smart move.

Maybe cdickrun64's silver going out of the stash caused the drop.
