Silver madness!

Today , picked up an 1859 California gold 1/2 dollar . It is not unc. , but very nice , probably gift it to one of the Grandkids.
 
Today , I picked up a 1925 silver quarter , a 1939 Canadian silver dollar , four silver Canadian dimes , couple of Very Good, Buffalo nickels , two UnCirculated , toned copper nickel Ike dollars , for $17 and a dozen eggs . Not bad
 
I wonder if the price is stagnant because people or countries are liquidating gold and silver in an attempt to stay afloat a little longer.

no, American silver currency was made into a specific alloy so it would be hard to extract the silver to form pure silver.

It was alloyed so it wouldn't tarnish and would last longer in circulation.
 
Also makes it harder. Pure silver and gold are soft metals- easily worn down or damaged or bent. That is why you don't see 24 carat in jewlery very much.
 
Today , I traded about 35 and 1/3rd FRN's , a dozen of my brown organic eggs , a heirloom tomato plant for 1943 & 1946 D & S silver Walking Liberty Halves ( four total ) , all Very Fine or Extra Fine and an extra set of US made 3/8 drive metric sockets , a copper Canadian penny , couple of Cuban dimes , shot of bourbon , a cold pint and two cups of coffee , an about Uncirculated 1912 20 Swiss Rappen ( nickel , I think ) If gasoline was not $3.63 a gallon , I might celebrate :)
 
Slow day , but I blew $53 , picked up an 1859 California gold 1/4 dollar with a gold loop attached , a 1935 Silver Walking Liberty halve in Very Good , a Canadian quarter , a 10 % silver 1959 Peso in About Uncirculated , six silver Mercury dimes , one Uncirculated , a 1936 Buffalo nickel in Very Fine.New blade for my mower.

JM Bullion has a sale 10 troy/oz Sunshine bars $0.75 over spot,any quantity,free shipping.
 
I just noticed something else this morning.

Traffic was way down. One day isn't enough to tell but this could be the start of another economic slowdown.

Or it could have just mean I was a little early or a lot lucky.

If it is though, it is time to sell stock short if your into that sort of thing. We'll know for sure in a couple of weeks.



P.S. It's $18.75 today with a freaky spike at 13:00.?

Like I was saying; traffic seems a little bit off for the week as a whole. I don't see the market falling any yet but there has been a lot of news pushing the idea that everything is hunky dory. I mean really pushing it. Like someone trying to ring out every dime they can before a crash.
