I was in a tight financial situation back in the 80’s and decided to sell my silver. The guy at the pawnshop tried to talk me out of it.

“It is only at $75. It could still go up.”

Silver never reached as high as $75 in the 80s. The highest it has been was $49.95 oz in January 1980. That was back when the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the silver market. That’s a very interesting story in itself.

I thought $50/toz was the all time high?
