Counterfeit US junk silver coins?

No...counterfeit 999 fine silver rounds (Canadian Maples, US Buffalos, SA Krugerands, etc) which typically sell for a premium. The latest Chinese fakes are very hard to detect.

I thought the new gold was platinum.

Or maybe palladium.

I bought 16 100 ounce bars primarily as a tangible asset in case for an Armageddon scenario about 15 years ago at a bit over $10.00/oz. It sat at the $15-$18 mark for quite awhile but has been going up recently to a close of 24.02 today.

I bought $15k in gold eagles as soon as I saw Bush Jr was heading to war with Iraq. This was months before the war and I could swear I only paid $218 an oz. But looking at the gold charts it doesn’t show it ever was that low around then. Anyway I made a quick bundle of money because gold shot up but I sold way too early. Even my coin shop lady tried to dissuade me from selling because she was sure it was headed higher. But I needed the cash for a house.

Personally I think silver should be closer to $50 today. Don’t know why it’s lagging behind the rise in other metals. Anyway the relatively small amount of silver I hold is more of an insurance policy in a shtf scenario.

I’ve bought from them more than once and they have my confidence.

The great thing about so-called junk silver is the ability to use it in real world transactions. Is hard to break off a $10 or $15 chunk of a 100 oz bar.

The problem is always gonna be how to get value for your silver...too many folks want a premium for it, even the junk.

Our coming currency is going to be backed by gold and silver. That’s when you are going to see both skyrocket. Not one minute before.

The big banks hold all the silver shorts. They totally control the price.

Where do I get those bags of junk silver coins? I’d like to add silver to my portfolio of lead, brass and copper.

start with:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22junk+silver%22+price

compare prices and reputation of sellers ... direct sales from many sellers + ebay + etc.

standard junk are coins with 90% silver

kennedy halves are 40% silver from 1965-1970, priced accordingly ...

Blackrock starting to load up on silver.

BlackRock Takes Big Stake In Sprott Silver PSLV ETF

While BlackRock has held its own iShares SLV ETF in the past, the most were 5.4 million shares during the Pandemic Shutdown.

Doesn’t matter if BlackRock holds onto the PSLV, the Institutional Waterfall buying is coming.

Thanks for the info. Now I’ll check out my Kennedys to see which ones are 1975-1970s.

I’ve been picking up mostly nickels over the years that are 1964 and earlier as I sorted through my loose change.
