I confess that in the days before people had cell phones with cameras in them, I did, once or twice, ask certain callers to hold their coins up real close to their phone so that I could get a good look at it.

I just found this thread, and thought, its recent enough to make a comment. So here it is:
Coin dealers are drinking because of silver spot prices. If they go up gradually things look good. Buy low, sell high. If the price starts crashing, human nature is to sell. So the Dealer closes up shop and heads to the pub.

Yes am looking to silver getting up in the $125 range or higher. Really banked on stuff that night back then double bubble and higher profit margin. Stuff bought when lower. Will be drinking whiskey straight. Buy low sell high.

Isn't it best to avoid getting high/drunk when purchasing silver/gold?

It’s just as effective, cheaper and more fun to avoid purchasing silver/gold when getting high/drunk. So I’m told.

I am INNOCENT! Although I did resurrect the thread.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
