any hardcore silver buyers here?

I've contemplated that myself...the silver, not the cc question. I betcha BKT could give you good advice when he sees this thread...

 

Try stock symbol FCX they own some gold mines but primarily copper. Price is way down right now but could shoot up and double w a nice dividend approx 3.4% while you wait. Just another way to invest in precious metals and I am rather fond of dividends...

 

I was buying silver on a regular basis for about a year and the prices were going up, that was a good thing. I think it hit 46$ per ounce at one time

 

Woops hit the wrong button. As i was saying after it hit the 46$ mark two investment firms dropped 10 tons back into the market and that pretty much was the end of the silver rush,(

 

I have a few coins, i would like a ton more.

 

That would be sweet

 

I have been doing the bank thing for about five years now been doing ok. I got to looking into small town banks alot more here latley. I'm in indiana and have been looking at areas with omish or dunkards. The tend to have alot of old coins on hand still. I happened on a gas station were the elderly lady a couple people ahead of me got $60.00 in gas. She paid with rolls of quarters, after studying the wrappers and listening to the teller complain about all those quarters i bought the. They were 6 rolls of silver quarters in original mint wrappers. I couldn' believe my luck, once in a liftime happening. I have had alot of good offers but just cant bring myself to part with them. I was told about 5 months ago they were worth about $6.15 each, but who knows maybe more in the future.

 

My wife is an asst manager at one of the Murphys gas stations by where we live. Since the economy has been rough, some people will occassionally pay for gas or tobacco with silver dollars. I tell her to buy everyone that she sees.

 

c3, I'm going to try that tomorrow. Do many banks actually have half dollars, or is it hit and miss?

 

My ex wife works at a bank, she has told me that getting silver coins from them is VERY hit and miss. She said that the reason why is because the bank employees buy them up as soon as they get them. Larger banks may be different though

 

i would honestly wait until after the november elections. its very very likely the bottom is going to fall out of precious metals if obama loses. less of a drop if the supreme court upholds or only partial removes obamacare.

political uncertainty is the only thing driving the price of metals atm.

i think a lot of people are going to get burned bad if obamacare is repealed and obama loses the presidency
