    Why?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    You have to beat it into submission first, then it will do whatever you say image

    In commodities futures markets, you can put down a deposit to buy or sell a commodity for future delivery.

    Based on silver bullion and silver coins; just under 1000 ounces.

    Futures contracts (and the soon to launch Exchange-Traded-Fund ETF) allow a person to "control" silver without actually owning it. Only a small percentage of futures contracts result in physical delivery. Most are closed out for cash profit or loss. Futures and options on futures allow a person or entity to leverage their position, controlling a lot more ounces than they can with cash.

    No one was higher than 10,000-20,000 ounces. Thought there might be many more in the over 1,000 ounces category.

    Since silver is going to $15 and beyond, having some from there is not a bad idea. Wish I had done more before it got over $8.

    But as the advisor to the Hunts, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet I control 300 Million ounces (lol).

    Currently around 35-40oz in all forms from 1oz bars to Morgan/Peace/WLH's to world coins to bullion coins to.....you get the picture.

    Hopefully this dealer I bought a few ASE's off of two weeks ago still has them at $11.50 each image

    Beats me. Checking my spreadsheet, a one cent change in the price of silver results in a 77 cent change in the "value" of my collection.

    I haven't updated my prices in a while, though. I'm sure for many coins, today's bullion value now exceeds what little numismatic value there was.

    If I threw in all my G-4 barber halves and crappy type coins, I might have just over 200 ounces. I chose 100-199.

    I said between 21-50 ounces but I forgot about the 100+ junk morgans and peace dollars. So it is now 100-199.
  • BaleyBaley Posts: 22,663 ✭✭✭✭✭
    between 500-750 oz total but most of it's worth more than melt image

    I don't even see a 100,000 category on the poll.

    Was it changed before I found this thread? Not that I would have needed it.

    I'm not in a class by myself, but it doesn't take long to call the roll.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
