Silver's Historic high

fastrudy

For smoe reason ( perhaps a member can tell me why), Kitco does not have a graph of historic silver prices. When did the Hunt Bros. run the silver price to its high, and where do I find an historic silver graph?

I posted some detailed daily silver charts last week from 1967-1976 and 1977-1980. Should not be hard to track down as they were on another silver thread.

The Hunt's tried to run paper silver prices up from 1973-spring 1979 and were largely ineffective. Gold outperformed silver during that period. When they decided to try unload
all their paper contracts and move into physical silver is when all heck started breaking loose. Silver was only at $5/oz in the first few months of 1979. The Hunt's final push to
get into physical helped fuel that final 10X push.
