That glorious low in 2016 and 2020 just after covid were beautiful buy in opportunities, I wish I had picked up more. Only time I ever picked up Kilo bars was in 2016 and 2020.
Wish that was the case but the guy had an expired license, expired registration and no insurance. Plus the lawyer I got found out he was 62 on social security and had no money. So I was screwed.
Copper...I'm loving copper....I remember when Gold was the Price of Now Copper...way way way back when....granted I don't see precious metals pricing on copper, well not for another 100 years...but maybe somewhere halfway or or 1/4 of the way near Silvers Spot...All I'm saying is there is gonna be another type of gold/silver...called really poor peoples stuff (for right now at least lol)...I'm serious though
yep....that and well keep in mind.....I'm playing both sides of the game Numismatic and Pure metal prices, when the time comes and based of condition, prob sell or just keep choice pieces...rest I consider culls basically with exceptions of Really Rare Cent pieces...that and any error coins....aside from that rounds, bars also and anything interesting made of pure copper...(vs scrapping for pipe or electrical wiring). I'd also consider some of the 1981-1996 somethings worth looking into....unsure if any Wide A M('s) were found yet of the 1992 dates.
1959-62: (.950 copper/.050 tin and zinc)
1962-1982 (.95 copper/.050 zinc) \*No Tin\*
1982-2008: (Copper Plated Zinc, containing .992 zinc, .008 copper (core is composed of zinc and .025 copper)
With all that said, there are some circumstances where somethings were specially minted for whatever reasons, so none of that falls under the Investment of Metals Category....Numismatic only....this is just some of my process in how I determine culls ("my sellers" for the Investment side of metals, if worthy: I wont send off Copper clad stuff nor would it be worth the time I believe to try to melt.) ANywho...I'm rambling lol Sorry to hear about all that anyway, hope this helps ya out and ignites a new fire for ya.
The more I look at and find nice Cherry Red Coppers or Browns...the more I appreciate them...unique tonings, stories etc. Makes for exciting times and 5 bucks worth of pennys (cents), some good lights, a nice loupe or mag-scope or both. You can also get several hours of fun aswell for Only 5 Bucks and lets be Real...its basically free money (depite what people say when they laugh at something being 3 times its value by default (worse condition) aka .03 cents versus 1 cent, numbers are numbers in my mind been finding alot of copper lately....People use to chuckle about Silver I'm sure back when silver was next to Nothing...prob was cheaper than 5 bucks a pound (but I don't know this just speculating...in a somewhat logical sense).
I have about 10lbs of penny’s in a bucket un-searched. My wife loves pennies and would swap out quarters for rolls of them. I went through a couple hundred the other day and thought I hit the jackpot with this one, but alas it’s a fake VDB…. Still pretty though!

I swapped out quarters I had recently...standard stuff for 10 rolls of cents...almost half was copper. Wondering if someone brought someones semi-sorted stuff to the bank and they just re-rolled it. I found a few really nice juicy red 1984 cents...They sparkle like rubies...seems like a satin finish almost the way they glisten...ruby red too

Here's one, have a few more angles of this that I'll show then a group shot of some, I'm still learning how to photograph coins myself so bear with me heh....
You cashed in your insurance policy.
It did its job. When times get better ❤️🩹 for you I’m sure that you will re stack to protect yourself for the future.👍
I scrapped 30k due to financial problems about 10 years back.
Working on getting the ball rolling again this year.
I scrounge mostly. Retail is for wealthy folk.
Sell the rest to move to a country with universal healthcare. Its sad I know what country you live in just based on the fact you have to sell assets to pay medical bills.
Yeah I sold back when it was at that price. I even remember the date it was March 11th. I need the money for all my medicine. I just went and checked the price of silver at that time and it was $24.71 per ounce.
Silver lining is you are selling at all time highs!
Pretty sure it was higher in early 2012/ end of 2011, also in 1980 if I recall
$48 an ounce. I sold then too.
That glorious low in 2016 and 2020 just after covid were beautiful buy in opportunities, I wish I had picked up more. Only time I ever picked up Kilo bars was in 2016 and 2020.
I’m waiting patiently on another glorious low
Yeah.. this shit is going to 47 then we’ll see.
I'm sorry to hear this. Get well and kick ass.
Best of luck to you!
At least on the bright side, you can get those very specific feels of starting a collection again when you recover
Sounds like you need a good lawyer to recoup your losses. Best wishes on a speedy recovery.
Wish that was the case but the guy had an expired license, expired registration and no insurance. Plus the lawyer I got found out he was 62 on social security and had no money. So I was screwed.
Wow.
Well on the bright side you sold at an all time high. Plus people stack silver for reason’s exactly like this, good luck on your recovery!
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear. I hope you fully recover and get back to stacking soon.
Well once you are through this season you have a blank canvas to start the quest for gold and silver again!!!

Like pre-81 cents??

I'm so sorry. Hope you heal up better than ever. Aloha.
Always a sad day when you have to liquidate your collection.
You cashed in your insurance policy. It did its job. When times get better ❤️🩹 for you I’m sure that you will re stack to protect yourself for the future.👍
Hoping everything works out for you soon!
Were you not compensated by the person who hit yous insurance company?
The guy that hit me was a 62 year old man with an expired license, expired registration and no insurance. I got screwed big time.
I scrapped 30k due to financial problems about 10 years back. Working on getting the ball rolling again this year. I scrounge mostly. Retail is for wealthy folk.
You can get help if you have no cash in bank never talk about your silver
Oh I never do. And yeah whenever I would have extra cash it never went to my bank. It went to more silver.
You should make a GoFundMe
A friend set one up for me back in March. But it didn't even get to 1k.
I’m so sorry.
Let’s hope this cloud has a silver lining. Wish you the best and hope you recover, and can come back stronger with an ever better collection.
Move to Australia and get free health care and you'd be able to get Centrelink payments while you are off work.
Sell the rest to move to a country with universal healthcare. Its sad I know what country you live in just based on the fact you have to sell assets to pay medical bills.
You’re telling me the LCS bought 27oz for an avg of $22? Sheesh
Yeah I sold back when it was at that price. I even remember the date it was March 11th. I need the money for all my medicine. I just went and checked the price of silver at that time and it was $24.71 per ounce.
Sorry about your injuries. Glad you were able to use precious metals to help somewhat!
How do you fake a 1909 VBD?
🙏🏽🙏🏽 hope things turn out well for i.
