I found a sterling silver flatware set in a thrift store for $30 in September.

It has a melt content of 75 ounces of pure silver.

In September it was worth $2,500.

Today it is worth $8,000.

Four months!

I bought a 1 Troy Oz. silver coin - still in protective case, from 1999; ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ that was in with the everyday Christmas Ornaments at my Thrift Store. I paid the $2.99 they were asking for it and went on my way.

Worth $109.00 as of today. :) Pretty good investment.

Of course, I have plenty more invested in PMs than just that one coin...

Loving this!

It didn’t change one bit, the amount of declining paper dollars needed to buy it has increased. You are witnessing not a rise in Silver, but a severe decline in the purchasing power of paper dollars.

Most can’t wrap their head around that fact.
