I've only been collecting for a year or so and have about 200 ounces of silver coins. I'm trying to fill albums but the price of silver is almost prohibitive. I know a lot of you can spend a ton and i make good money but this suuuucks. When (i assume) silver gets to $40+, i don't even know how collecting works!

I hope you're all hunting well. This is just my complaint thread.

    Price goes up and down, hold for a later date or focus on coins that are not dependent on metal content. I’m planning on working on the earlier dates in my type set because the silver and gold prices are too high. I did sell some silver and gold to fund this so the high prices are not all bad.

    I wouldn’t wait...but what you can now. $25/oz is not too high compared to where it is heading...probably 50+ end of next year 🙂

    I am! Robkool sent me 12 barbers, a couple mercs, and 24 roosies that were on my wish list.

    I took the Washington's off because Robkool is sending me about 16 or so of those.

    Ignore the key dates, this is just filtered straight from my main coin database spreadsheet.

    And I know a lot (especially the Kennedy's) are proofs so those can be ignored as well.

    I have 1c 1909,1909VDB,1916,1918,1919D,1919S,
    5c 1942S,1944D,1944S
    Franklin 1948
    The only problem is flat rate shipping is so high like $ 8.50.
    I am already retired so not looking to retire off you, and the last time The Gov't called for a loan, they asked me to co sign for them so just make me a fair offer anything near $20.00 and you pay freight.
    I assume you're collecting raw not certified.
    I also have one of the best looking 1957 Franklins I have ever seen, definitely not a melt coin, If you want that one you're going to have to ante up another $20.00.

    Yea shipping kills a lot of small packages. I'm just looking for album fillers. A clear date and mint is all I need.

    I sent a PM yesterday.
    Let me know if you didn't get it (people were saying that there were some PM problems earlier this week).
