Physical gold and silver
Vanity | 08-08-2019 | NRx

Posted on 08/08/2019 12:33:55 PM PDT by NRx

Not sure how much significance I'd put in this; but I just checked one of my favorite online bullion dealers and around half of the 100 oz silver bars they normally have on offer are out of stock. Hmm...

China just devalued its currency. A billion people seeking safe haven can really rock a market.

All these people telling you that you should get rid of your “fiat” money and buy gold and silver.

Oddly, they are happy to take your “fiat” money, and give you the gold and silver.

holding out for fifty dollar silver.

You can’t buy my love with money for I never was that kind.
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.

Better to buy ammo.

It comes in small, easily tested pieces and is useful around the house.

YMMV

Gold will see above 1650 by next year.

Up 20 percent in a short time.

Trade futures if you believe in gold.

As far as sellers being out of it, I’ve not heard one place say that.

Cheers

You can fall for chains of silver.
You can fall for chains of gold.
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold.
You promised me everything You promised me thick and thin,
Now you just say oh, Romeo yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him.

I stick with 1oz gold and silver eagles. Not sure I like the idea of a 100oz bar.

They'll even take Venezuela beaver escudos, or whatever. The question is - how many in exchange for 1 oz of gold? We have to live in this world of "fiat." You can't buy gas or go to the supermarket with a gold coin.

I’m as green as they come regarding this, thought your first word was an adjective.

Surprised to see they’re selling copper bullion, wouldn’t that oxidize pretty fast, even in a sealed vacuum bag?

I bought a bunch of junk silver when it was around $18 an oz and a little when it was $40 an oz. I’ve just been sitting on it ever since. Just in case...

My rule of thumb: When there are a lot of adds trying to sell the stuff, it’s time to sell. And vice versa.

I found some old silver flatware at Goodwill’s half price sale a couple weeks ago... weighed up at 14 ounces for $4.99.

Meant to look into it a little afterwards and never did, is there a difference in the value of an ounce of silver in flatware vs an ounce of silver in a non-collectible coin?

Flatware has to be alloyed to have any useful strength.

Of course coins had but 10% of alloy elements.

And promptly turn around and get some more metal with the fiat money. Or maybe buy a Fiat. The currency is just a passthrough device, like bitcoin.
