And did pretty good!
We got a little crazy buying home furnishings this month and I had to sell some of the collection
So definitely worth it!

This is the dumbest thing Ive heard on this forum in awhile. Selling silver for home furnishings. You sound like the majority of America, broke as a joke.
Why on earth....oh nevermind. and TimZim...you condone? Geez us. Dont you want to retire on your own dime, the way you want too
I guess Im just in the top 3% of Americans who will retire off their own dime. Great decision selling your silver!! Keep it up
What a dick. This is the first silver I've really sold from collecting, and it's only the 40%ers. I kept all my 90% and bullion. I've had a ROTH IRA I've contributed to since I was 20, have a pension plan through my work, and an investment portfolio, still only 26, but thanks for making a generalization about my ability to take care of myself.
I've paid cash for everything I can. The house was the first thing I've ever really been in debt for- pay my balance each month on all my CC's, own cars clear, etc. And even with the house, we bought way below what the bank thought they could lend us. We got a good deal on a table and a lamp for the dining room- both high quality vintage pieces, solid, with a good name behind them, which should appreciate in value as well as be appreciated, so I think I made the right choice. We could have decided to not purchase them, but realized that a month of tightening and selling off some extras would be worth it, because we could not pass the deals up and we'd regret them later. I'm not carrying any sort of balance over.
But thanks for all that. I'm sorry my rash decision of buying something I want and selling something I could do without made someone on the internet mad.
I give up on the topic, as I see this will be instantly divided. Divided bewtween the people who are to depend on others for living when elderly, and the others who have made a series of great decisions over a lifetime that will live as they please. It's not my place to have said anything. But being dependent on others, Im highly against, is my obvious passion. My apologies everyone. My apologies.
Again, let me know what it feels like to be a judgmental ***. I'd rather sell my 40% Kennedy halves and enjoy some quality furniture, than be a whiner on the internet with a stack of coins. To me, a 1000% return on my money was worth it, and it was an opportunity to enjoy something else that will grow in value over time, that I don't have to hide from everyone.
What I was trying to get at, is that I sold my 40% at close to melt- when people were discussing how difficult it is to get a good trade or price for them. What I was TRYING to do was help others on here with a strategy to trade off some of their collection.
decisions and got lucky to me.
