Junk Silver Prices Thread - Report In Here

So, I'm surprised to not see more selling off junk silver here on this site. I know ratman has been recently but not many others. I have been thinking about it but curious as to why many are not. Do you think it will jump up even more? I have been on the wrong side of this more than not.... On a side note, I sold off 6000 shares of a silver mining company throughout the last week, I doubled up on it.

That's a good answer and I appreciate it.

I came into the Coin World kind of odd. I was caught off guard by a cent being sold for $5000 on the bay back in 2011, it was a 1914 D in high AU condition but did not know about any of that stuff at the time, but it still got my attention. I was only even on the bay to sell off some odd ball things, nothing to do with coins. Anyway, got caught up in coins for a monetary reason at the time and started looking around at different sales on the bay. Lotta Morgans being sold at the time, then got sucked into Morgans, which I am still am, for different reasons though, they are just a beautiful coin. After about six years dealing with Morgans, I somehow jumped back to cents, still to this day don't remember what triggered that but none the less, back to cents, where I started. At that point I started learning about coins in general, the minting process and about varieties and errors, a broader perspective than just the worth of a particular coin.

Onward and upward, I feel I went, then looking for varieties and it became an obsession, which it still is, just love the search, if nothing more than that.... So, occasionally, I would run across a cheap silver lot of coins and would bid on it, a double double in my opinion, cheap silver and coins to search for varieties, and even if no varieties, I still have cheap silver. So here I am, cheap silver that I got the goodie out of searching, some variety finds and many more no finds, but still cheap silver. So that's where I'm at.

Silver has a long way to go on the up side, triple digits are coming. A quick "profit" now which would be eaten up by inflation is not something I would do. Holding silver and gold is your only way to keep up with the depreciating Federal Reserve dollar. If you are in need of cash for an emergency, then it's good to have some to sell.

Don't sell if you don't have to.

I invested to hedge against the struggling U.S. dollar and/or bad economic times. Sell for paper money doesn't make sense for me. I'm not getting any younger and, my wife doesn't want the headache. Now that's a conundrum.

What is that? I do not have any of that. I use cash or "same as cash" for all purchases.
