Silver is an infinitely collectible metal, and each year more is produced than the last. It is a marvelous store of value, and can yield extraordinary returns for proof versions from mints all over the world. One market for the David Carrs out there is the production of fractional US Eagles. It would not be counterfeiting, and you could produce any quantity and always have buyers. Maybe the US Mint could produce fractional Silver Eagles, and include them in an enlarged silver proof set. Maybe they could make uncirculated eagles and put them in the UNC. sets. People WILL buy them, and the mint need only produce to demand, eliminating excess costs. How about it, mint folks? Fractional Proof and Unc. Silver eagles. Make it a new set. Very cool to see it.

Poor man’s gold is the best bargain in the world. I bought my first ingot, a cameo of Abraham Lincoln, minted by Silver Towne in 1966. I paid $6.50 for it. Silver was $4.25 and ounce. Today, silver is $19.36 and ounce. With inflation, it should be at least %300 an ounce. Buy it, when you get the e-mails, and stock it. When I bought my first $20 Double eagle, 1926, I bought it for $48. It was in a Capital holder and I would say it would go at least MS-64. Without a doubt, I could command $2,000 for it. But, I did give it to my daughter for her wedding, in 1995, to give to her first born. He’s now 13 and has no idea what it’s worth. At the time, gold was $26 an ounce and yesterday gold closed at $1,293.
