Would this not be the same as a 1909S vdb in a 68 red selling for $100k? Afterall, its replacemnt cost is 1c and there is no guarantee that it would even be accepted as being worth 1c at the grocery store...someone might consider it fake.
What kind of rigged market is it when a cent sells for 100k? Its not like they dont make more of them. One cent has virtually no utilitarian value. Talk about a blind man wearing rose colored glasses!!

If I can get the FED to provide me some free money, I might just buy that 100K cent. LOL. Fortunately (for collectors) the FED hasn't set its stimulus sights on the coin market.

There was a time when the focus was on real estate. Dark money (low interest rates) combined with greed (liar loans and "packaged" over rated loan products) gave us 2008. We saw how that played out.
But this time it's different.

I don't know if the Mint has caught up, but I was watching a video which suggested that the Mint running out twice before year end (in the past 6 months) may indicate supply issues. Then again, the guy I was watching is pretty well embedded in the silver (sales) industry.

The world market is expected to increase the price of gold in 2019. The forecast is based on a noticeable increase in demand for the precious metal. This is facilitated by the unstable situation in the United States, events in North Korea and new sanctions against Iran. Economic instability in the world forces investors to avoid risks in safe assets.
re: multiemployer union bailouts - this may be a very harsh observation, but here goes. If and when these bailouts occur, it simply means that MMT is running full bore and will continue to run full bore until reaching saturation.
What this also means is that no matter what you've set aside, no matter how hard you've worked and how diligent your planning, no matter how smart you've been and how well you've diversified or hedged your savings & retirement assets - it's all transient and subject to revaluation in a big way.
This kind of crap is what diminishes everything you've worked for, and this is what directly contributes to this unsustainable debt bubble and the inevitable loss of confidence in "the system". When over half the population, the corporations, the states and the feds can't pay the interest on their debt - it really doesn't matter how much "money" gets keystroked into existence. It's all becoming transient, i.e. - a fluid and unpredictable situation.
MMT has already given the big banks free license to run loose forever with no penalties for the bad debt still on their books. MMT gives gov.com free license to stash $trillions in hidden accounts @DoD and HUD for whatever use they deem necessary without a smidgeon of oversight.
All this free stuff for the big banks and gov.com with no accountability diminishes everything you've ever done to provide for your own security & future, no matter how well you think you've done. Kinda crazy, isn't it? Seems to justify self-sufficiency and getting completely out of debt, along with mostly hard assets.
Of course, that's been my conclusion for at least the past 13 years - so what do I know?
