Silver madness!

I had a 96$ credit at a pawn shop. Recently went in and got 3 American Liberty dollars :-). That's about all I've been able to get recently. I had to buy a car earlier in the year. I'm just about done paying it off...2 more months or so.

After that, I'll be able to choose between renovating my kitchen and buying a lot more silver/gold :-).

Ahh kitchen renovation , hope I am about done with that , got the new floor put down this winter , new fridge summer before last , new dishwasher fall before last ,fall before last I put a new ignitor in the oven , now one of the two microwaves is dead ....... new walls and insulation in the front room this fall , only two or four windows left to replace in the house , new tractor last spring , another chain saw this fall , another rifle and shotgun ,pd cash for all of that . Have my Honey's SUV pd off , half my truck is pd for ( its less than $15 interest a month ) , this stuff is a pain in the ass , lol

That's just what it's called, or at least that's what me and my dealer call it. Pre-1960s silver quarters, dimes and half dollars 90%. They're not collector's items, so we call them junk. Not meant to offend anyone, honest.

200 ounces of silver dimes , quarters and halves ? Nice haul , I would just keep it .

I need to stop and see my Pawn guy next week , he is holding 9 uncommon date Morgans for me .
 
I've got a bungalow built in 1951. Built to last. But the main upstairs kitchen needs updating (a lot of updating, lol).

My brother and I own the place...we took the old shitty kitchen in the basement and reno'ed it last winter into something really nice and modern. The bathroom down there gets the same treatment in about 1 month (already saved up for, paying cash, work just needs to be done).

In about a month the house will be a bungalow with two very nice, easy to seperate appartments.

The upstairs kitchen next year is the last of the truly required renovations to fully bring the house up to standards.

I'm REALLY looking forward to have that ambition/cost over with. Lol :-)

Yeah , our place was vintage 50's too , hope to be done with it all and all of the expense with it in the next couple summers .

I picked up three silver crowns and a silver franc for $14.77 , traded them off today for $39 in cash , a Canadian silver dime , a 1919 Mexico Silver 50 Centavo pc. , a 1909 VDB cent in Very Fine, a 1914 silver dime and an 1853 Silver Half, 30 2 x2 coin holders , three plastic sheets.
 
I may have to go look around tomorrow , see what I could find , spot price still looks very reasonable for long .
 
All I could come up with today was a couple of About Uncirculated 1940's quarters and some sterling, but did not put much effort in it , last nights blizzard kind of took the wind out of my sail , laid up mostly with some bacon sandwiches , chili , chicken wings , and now , drinks . There is always Fri :)
 

That is a massive rip-off. It ends up being over $28 per coin there on Ebay. On their official site it is $25.75 each so ten would be $257.50 plus $9.99 shipping and the total is only $266 - that is the cost of another American Eagle difference between that ebay auction and their official site for ten coins.

Edit: Is it just me, or does Standing Liberty have 6 fingers on her outstretched hand?

You guys talk about going to local pawn shops and I must say that ebay is far cheaper then the local stores I've been to.
