Anyone been following the spot price of silver
About a year ago I bought 200 Liberty silver dollars and about 40 old silver quarters. That comes out to be about 220 ounces of silver. When I bought it the spot price of silver was right around $16 an ounce. Spot price on Friday was over $28! I just bought it because I thought it would be fun to have some silver to add to the collection. Never thought of it as an investment as the spot price has hovered around $16 an ounce for years.

Comes out to 150 oz by my calculations. Yeah it's been crazy was 12% a couple months ago. I think it will go up more until beer flu passes, but who knows

My bad. I always thought a liberty silver dollar was an ounce, and now I find out it’s not! But, still not a bad return! And I think you’re right, until after the election I think it’s going to keep going up.

Back in the old days, silver was tied to the price of oil. Then the Hunt brothers tried to corner the market. It was wild.
