Silver! Is it just me or do you seem to pick up silver every time you’re on the hunt?
They may not have what I’m looking for but they always have silver.
Post some if you get it!

What a coincidence. I just got my:
silver shot
and my silver PUP

Damn! You really are addicted
I call it "feining"

Nothing wrong with picking up a little inflation insurance.
My whiskers are shot with silver, but not my veins.
@edgar That shot is cool!

It's an addiction but I try to exercise some self-control. It's hard when one side of your brain says "don't do it" while the other side argues "it's a long term store of wealth"
.
I recently talked to a coin dealer while on vacation in Florida. Not sure if he was just trying to sell me but he thinks silver is going over $50 in the near future. Regardless I’m stacking again.
A little here a little there.
The Florida pick ups.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard that, but I think it will continue to follow inflation.
Nice looking.
Those are choice!
I used to be in the silver addiction, but lately it’s the 1/10th ounce gold coins. It’s just my weakness.
That said, was talking to my LCS today and I commented that he was wiped out of silver, where as he was overflowing last week. He said with the recent drop, his major stackers have been accumulating. They think silver has a big move coming. 1000 ounce bars have been in demand.
As I am but a bit player, I still can’t get silver bars for a reasonable premium over spot. His comments and what I have seen in the shops lately has me thinking about adding some, if I can get it at a reasonable premium.
Yep......can't stop

@coinsarefun What a cool array of interesting pieces. Obviously worth more than just melt.
I thought about trading up to a 1 oz gold once I hit 75 silvers but then I would lose all of the uniqueness and variety.
@SimpleCollector I also have a weakness for 2.5 Indians. Gotta pony up a lil bit more for those.
2 silver little guys 😉

Same. If it's silver it's mine. Couple Venezuelan Bolívars and Peace at the local antique store. Little roached but ya know ... addicted.
Ounce by ounce the stack grows .
Thanks....I just added another one today. Heraldic Art Medals have got to be one of the coolest under rated
half dollar commemoratives. Some can be had for a very reasonable amount. Others are quite expensive but overall
if bought right its a very cool series to get into.

I have a lot of silver.... last couple of years, only acquire the new mint products.... Cheers, RickO
You don't win by accumulating the most wealth. Silver, gold, bitcoin, whatever... I'm working to figure out what is the answer, but hoarding ain't it. Still, silver is pretty!
Ebay find, there were a few varieties, nice novelty.

I love the 2 1/2 Gulden in silver!

You people need to stop by the precious metals forum
You people need to stop buying the precious metals for 'em?
Why?
We need the people talking about your various pm interests and viewpoints
Cool, I’ll go check it out later. Don’t think I’ve ever even been there.
Bring friends
So you’re serious not just being facetious?
Yeah seriously
It’s mostly the same small number of people. It’d be nice to fill the ranks.
I don’t think I can simply move the thread over there but perhaps start a new one of the same?.

I feel like I might be getting played here
I was just trying to be nice, trust me my gut instinct was a whole nother answer.
I picked this high relief silver medallion earlier this year;

Interesting, I vaguely remember that from US history my freshman year ‘81.
I think these days kids are learning that in fifth grade, if at all any more.
We had Oklahoma history as a freshman (required). They didn’t give me a silver medallion, though.
I’ve got a medal of some kind commemorating the state, but I don’t think it’s silver. I should re-find that.
I need to pick up more silver. Not because it’s going to $50, just because I want some more.
Got my fix today.
I got a little variety myself!

@Meltdown I got a laugh out of that Camel Jockey uh, missile launcher
That camel didn't think it was so funny.

Found some toners and silver toners Yesterday. View from 4th floor Hotel Galvez and not suite 501 😬
Some recent pick ups including the toners above. Tomorrow sounds like a good day to find more
I got some silver but like you said, I am wanting to trade it for a 1/10 ounce gold coin.
I'll likely do the same except I'll trade up to $10 to $20 gold pieces. It's currently about 81:1 ratio which will take up 80 times less space and it's easier to build incrementally rather than dropping 2k at once. It may be difficult to find someone to trade all that silver for gold and you might have to sell then buy separately.
However, silver sells fast on the BST.
