I’ve been tracking the spot price of gold/silver for only the last three weeks. Both were trending downward just until today ($856.00 for gold on Tuesday, $900.00 plus today Wednesday) despite all the recent bad news.
Anyway, silver barely hiccupped ($11.28/11.68). A bag of original silver U.S. cartwheels is a great buy IMHO, and a heck of a lot more negotiable if the balloon really does go up, which I don’t think it will.
I recall selling some silver many years ago for $11.00 per oz. It was probably at least 30 years ago. I wonder what an acre of land brought at the time—or a house.
