Silver coins/rounds question

[rondog]

I was up at Blackhawk once and when I was cashing out my winnings I asked them for a couple rolls of half dollars.

I got 1, 66 Kennedy..that 40% silver I believe.

I check every single coin I am ever handed for the last 3 years since I learned about "junk silver" and I haven't found any that way

Funny.....years ago my wife was a convenience store manager in a working-class neighborhood in Syracuse, NY. She'd frequently get kids in her store buying candy with old silver coins and wheat pennies, that they probably "found" in their parents or grandparents goodies. She always bought them out of the register, she still has most of them.

Well, I listened to all the financial analyists who predicted the price of silver was going to double or triple. I pulled money out of my retirement accounts and bought 1,000 2012 Silver Eagles @ $40.25 each. Immediately thereafter the price of silver started dropping and is now just slightly over $22! If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!

I'll kindly take them off your hands for spot + $3 each!




In all seriousness, keep hanging on to them... Silver is definitely going to go back up real soon!

If the financial analysts were any good, they'd be pushing silver even harder now at $22 than they were at $40. Commodities rise and commodities fall, buying cheap tends to have merit in the long term....or so the story went.
