Future Silver Predictions? I'm nervous right now...

Lady told me that 2008 coins carried a highrt premium so i bought 1995 coins.

here last weekend. I bought 18 franklin half dollars for $8 each. Several weeks before even when spot was $21, I got 17 '64 Kennedy half dollars for about $6 each. The lady really didn't know what she had. Unfortunately since then, she's wised up. lol

We are self employed so when we get another check, I will be after some more. :)

if they don't know where it is...if your gold and silver are not in a safety deposit box/bank somewhere, but in a hole in your backyard, how will they know?

Are the 1964 coins silver or only 1963 and earlier? Does anyone see a reason why the silver dollars would be better than dimes, quarters, or halves?

Thanks

They are still in business my friends and doing just fine...

also..... 21.00 bucks for a silver eagle? you should be thrown in jail for THEFT! 2 years from now that will end up being the buy of
the century!!!!!

as for me and my home, we shall worship the LORD

KAT,
just saw your email. I would try to buy as much as possible.. I think if a person can accumulate 1000 ounces, that would be good. if what I have been reading happens where silver will tade at par with gold because of a silver shortage, that means that right now if a person would have 1000 ounces of silver, X 1000.00 an ounce(GOLD AT 1000) you would have 1,000,000 in purchasing power..
now some people will pooh pooh the thought of 1000$ an ounce silver... they do not know the market.. they have not read Ted Butler, Isreal Friedman and Jason Hommel.and they do not know the silver market..for every 15K a person can invest- I think you will see a 1,000,000 return! this could be the once of a life time opportunity... try to buy Junk pre 1964 silver dimes, quarters, and halves.. and also try to get 100 to 200 silver eagles! I think with the coming horrible economic times if a family does not have silver, they are crazy! Also Kat... please read the following... www.investmentrarities.co...
download ted butlers free book 61 pages... it will explain the manipulation that has made 1000$ silver possible. also butlerresearch.com all his articles for the last 10 years are there.. this is where I got my education on silver... take the 4 hours or so and get to know whats going on behind the scenes with silver.. once you understand you will see the opportunity.. ALSO CONGRATS ON YOUR SILVER EAGLE WINS ON EBAY!!! your bidding against me lol! keep it up and accumulate as much as possible.. I think you have until this October and then things are going to get rocky! get as much as you can as quickly as you can!

Investing in precious medals is a long term Investment. Think of when your sixty.. Every 20 years or so there is a heavy correction and the precious metals go up followed by a bear market then another correction to real time inflationary adjusted prices. Buy what you can, stick it in the saftey deposit box and one day 30 years from now you'll be able to cash em in for 100 dollars an ounce. Stop worrying.

Not to plug a company or anything, but I've been getting a good price from Lear Financial (www.learcapital.com).
It's about 15% more for the bullion coins off the spot price for silver, and 5% more for gold.
I don't know if they still have stock though. I've noticed silver's price for bullion going up...it was about 12% more a few weeks ago.
Hope that helps!

I know what you mean. I just got into learning about silver and other precious metals. When silver was high at $21-22/ounce is when I purchased 10 oz. of eagles. + premium. At first i was pissed off, but I came to a conclusion it was worth it. I collect copper pennies(< '81) and nickels too. Dark times are coming. Note, i am only 20 yrs old and very poor.

I do it all day long when trading.

Silver won't go to zero. And it is more than likely going up. Silver was limit up on Friday 4/4.

One important point...buy collector coins if you want to escape having your gold or silver confiscated.

This government can confiscate any gold or silver boullion or bars.

However, never in history has any government ever confiscated collector coins.

Gold Francs are fractional currency. Highly negotiable, they contain .1867 Troy ounce of fine gold. The diameter is the size of a U.S. Nickel and the approximate thickness of a U.S. Dime. We typically deliver coins which are at least one hundred years old and usually are about 125 to 150 years old. They come in extra-fine condition which means everything is bold and clear on these golden antiques.

While these coins may be obtained very close to their melt value and held for their bullion value, they are considered to be "coins of special collector interest." This makes them private when you buy and when you sell. (Unlike modern foreign monetary bullion which requires meddlesome IRS reporting at liquidation.)

Some reasons to acquire these antique gold francs now...

They will protect your wealth.

They are private.

They are non-reportable.

They are non-confiscatable*

They are genuine antiques being over 100 years old.

They are a great legacy, truly a meaningful way to pass wealth to your heirs.

They are historic. These coins have been secreted away on the European continent since the times of Napoleon Bonaparte. They have survived in the proximity of the battlefields of two World Wars, and kept many families out of harm's way during numerous European political and economic upheavals over the last 125 plus years.
* Franz Pick, an economic historian, had this to say about gold bullion confiscation in the U.S.:

"I am afraid that one day the government will indeed call gold in. Gold bullion will be subject to government confiscation.

"This is the one big advantage to numismatic gold (Ed. Note: "coins of special collector value") ...It is an idiosyncrasy of governments that although they may prohibit ownership of gold in any form, they are reluctant to touch collections of numismatic gold...

"Today, there are some 49 countries which forbid ownership of gold by their citizens, but they do allow holding gold coins for numismatic purposes. Even the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries tolerated the acquisition of numismatic gold coins. So these are the only holdings that could be in your safety deposit box without fear of confiscation."

Good price at $21.

You did good.If you didn't have any silver,you would be worried
about not having any,right?

As I understand it, as soon as the price dropped a couple of weeks ago, lots of people began to try to get more. I wanted to pick up a bit more while the price was down and assumed that things would have sorted out in a week or so, but that was not the case. Most wholesale brokers had purchased lots of sliver at the high end before it dropped, so they have been holding out and selling small quantites of it and only at a premium over spot. Remember most smaller coin dealers cannot afford to keep lots of bullion in stock because of the low markup and especially because situations like this would break them if they did. At my local shop the spread was normal, but everything was higher than normal: U.S. 90% junk silver (my typical preference) was at 3% over spot, Prospectors at + $1.75, and Eagles at + $2.75 - so as the other poster said, your price seems reasonable. Remember that you buy metals as an inflation hedge not as a get rich quick scheme. In any case, in the long run, you will not make big gains or losses on 5 eagles.

I think a realistic number for silver this year is 30.00 an ounce by the end of the year. The longer the price is supressed the higher the silver will eventually go. We all know silver should be about 55-60 an ounce right now 21.00 is a decent price on eagles. The market will fluctuate if you are thinking short term (months) PM's aren't for you. If you are thinking at least 2-3 years PM's are a smart move. Don't day trade, look for the long term reward. We aren't even half way through the PM Bull market. Don't sweat 5 ounces, I recently bought much more than that, and feel really good about it.

a bit of everything. Like they say it is insurance not an investment. I bought some at that price then it went down my husband thought I bought to high but I don't care because I think there is a real shortage and they won't be able to hold the prices down for ever. Besides, I intend to hang on it and pass it down to my boys if I don't need it.

Not sure what you're nervous about. You paid the market price for your 5 ounces of silver.

The price you see on Kitco, et al., is for "paper silver". The real stuff is hard to come by in large quantities so you have to pay more.

Silver has had a good ride, but with the current job shortages, and layoffs, those that have risked in our U.S. dollar will start to invest in the gold, and silver markets. My guess will be that by the end of April, to mid May silver will fair well until the Federal Reserve (Bernanke) puts their hands into the mix, then you might see the precious metal market decline until June. Granted this is all speculation on my part, but I have been doing well in making a profit in watching the cycle of Silver, and the way our Federal Reserve has played a major part in any of markets. What is strange is that the dollar continues to dive, the precious metals are not moving as well as they should, which only tells me that "The Plunge Protection Team" (the one McCain has absolutely no clue who they are) actually exists, and make things even out so no one gains but them.
Be careful, and watch the market closely, especially between now and June 2008.

and a good price for ebay. I've noticed silver eagles going for between 23.00-27.00 when spot is at 17.50. It wasnt like that a few weeks ago. I also notice much less of them on there now.
