Currently having a home built, so currently no new purchases are on the table, and all US mint procurements from the US Mint, by me, have ended, indefinitely. I take no pleasure in saying that.

The additional dates you provided were definitely off my radar. Thanks for listing. Considering there was no widespread internet, in 1980 and yet so many knew about the price of silver then, I believe speaks volumes to the benchmark it set then. Of course, I believe the hobby was in much better shape back then… strictly my opinion.

VA Bob, you might be right about seeing silver at $97 an ounce someday. However, please note that the all time record high silver price was hit on April 28, 2011, with silver spot price reaching $49.58 oz intraday and closing at $48.70 in London LBMA. The silver spot price rose above $40 on April 8, 2011, closing at $40.22, and stayed above $40 through May 4, 2011, when it closed at $40.29.

It’s been over 45 years since we have seen silver over $40 an ounce ($49.45 Jan 17, 1980). I think it’s going to take a lot longer until we see $97 an ounce, unless something crazy happens.

Buy some certified classic coins (Gaudens, Morgans, Walkers….) online and you will feel better.

Cheers

Put up the video. Search it out on YouTube and paste the link.

$31.01 as of January 9th. But what’s a $1.01? How do they justify $65 over spot?

Right.
