You should have grabbed a bunch of eagles as soon as possible this year. They are out, you could flip them right now.
Collecting is kind of rediculas. I'm not paying those prices but I would be ok selling.
I'm thinking of buying a slabbed ms-70 of a coin I want. You know there will be a ton of them if I over pay for one.
I'm going to go look maybe try to trade some stuff.

Maybe you can find a 5 cent pre 1920 canadian, as far as I know those are the only 1 gram silver pcs.

Rich people? Taxed?
You shall pay the cost of replacing my broken monocle caused by this outrageous suggestion.

Finally watched the video. What are you in besides gold and silver.
It would be nice to ressesion proof our savings. Should I split it and buy silver with half?

Too much premium on any that someone would bring to a show I suspect.
I like the more modern nickels, I'll let you guess why, but there is no silver in them.
I'm just going to browse unless I find something I decide I want or can get an interesting trade going. Might buy something silver if it's close enough to spot, I doubt I'll see that.

Just buy spot when it gets to a point that makes you happy. I have a safe full of it that Ive bought here and there over 30 years. Sold a batch when it was in the high 20's that Id averaged $7 on buying to buy my kid his first dirtbike.
Heres the bullion I LIKE to buy but its at a premium. Do have some of my fave calibers ;o)
Do I need to post my rant on "taxing the rich" again from an actual tax viewpoint?? We've had a lot of these threads

I hope there is lots of cool stuff to see like that, not just mostly expensive graded coins. Though I do want to see some of those since that is what I'm expecting.
I only recall seeing some 45 cal silver bullets before that picture.

@ 2 dimes "It would be nice to ressesion proof our savings. Should I split it and buy silver with half?"
standard rule is save 5-10% in gold, physical gold, kept outside the banking system as savings.
Silver is a different animal, you should consider silver as an investment.
Personally, I would not take 50% of my families savings and invest it in 1 thing.

It already looks like a much worse idea than yesterday.

The show was a 99% success. I traded a peace dollar for a 1900 Canuck dime plus five dollars. Then I sold three other peace dollars and bought a 25th anniversary maple and a 2016 kangaroo. I bought a rabbit nickel for a quarter. Finally I bought a half ounce sunshine round for $12. I was pretty excited even though I sat on my magnifying glass and broke the handle.
The only thing I missed was I found a few Morgan dollars with O mint marks but they were all $100 or more.
Edit: I totally forgot to look for pesos. Maybe next time.

Yeah, that was one I wanted, maybe the most, from the start.
So I didn't look at it very close. Bought it off the Timeless Treasures guy, trusted it would be perfect, it's in a square holder $27.
After I got home I started looking at it with a magnifier and thought I saw a mark on it. Then I figured it might be on the holder so I opened it up. It was on the holder and I was able to wipe it off gently with a dry glove, that was a relief but the inside of the holder had something in it and I think the coin has milk spots. I'm not even joking.
Maybe I deserve that for giving you so much grief, going on and on about milk spots here.
The shops here don't seem to mention milk spots when selling you a coin, maybe I'm the only one that cares about them. I thought they would be a bigger deal since to me any imperfection seems bad.
I would think if you had an MS-70 coined that developed milk spots or tarnish it would lose the grade but maybe not. I'm going to look online and phone around a bit maybe.
So far the only two coins I have seen with them are my Roo and my son's Crocodile, both Perth mint products.
I have been pretty carefull with stuff but might take that one out of the holder and play with it. That was why I like circulated coins better, they have been handled plenty so you can touch them and that is pretty fun. I don't like grungy coins though, so I won't play with it while eating saucy chicken wings.

Do you have anything with milk spots Red? I know you mentioned seeing it. Does it affect value or is it a non issue until higher grades?
