What amazes me is that people don’t look at charts – if they did they would see all the Gold pumpers of today bought Gold at it’s peak around 2011 not knowing Obama and Biden would make them bag holders as they punished savers and began the decade long money printing experiment that worked so great for the Wealthy and left Gold and Silver ruined.

Charlie says it’s just an experiment but it’s working out very well for the Rich

Was that his life savings? Just wondering…

Is that a picture of the young Kaiser Wilhelm chillin’ like a villain?

EXZZZZZACTLY Kaiser!

In 1933 because of the Depression. In 1941 Gubmint didn’t confiscate gold but went to the Treasury and almost bled it dry of gold for the Manhattan Project. That’s gold no one will ever see again as it was blown to smithereens.

unlikely that melting will be allowed, at least not while a cent contains more than $.01 worth of copper.

as for keeping up with inflation, it’s hard to say – copper is generally closely tied to production costs, so if those costs go up at the same or more than inflation, then probably yes. it’s been weird recently with china dumping lots of copper on the market, though.

well at least that’s about 10 minutes worth of cent-making that the mint could have skipped.

As the Beastie Boys stayed: “You gotta fight for your right to party …”

Kaiser,

Proof coins for collectors were not included in the legislation to be “turned in.”

$30 trillion Gubmint debt, who knows, maybe it will happen again?

Sure that guy bought nice bottle of bourbon following that cash in 😉
