  1. Back in the 90s, I would listen to the talk radio and they would drone about gold prices and how it was the time to buy. Gold was about $500 per ounce. I though the ads were full of it, but now I am wishing I had bought some.

    I did buy some silver over the years, mostly at about $18 per oz. It is somewhat tempting to sell at these prices, but then I ask myself, why would I trade a physical asset (in my possession, not paper IOUs) for Uncle Sugar’s fiat bucks?

    1. Having lived long ago in the Age of Silver Money …..

      1964 1 paper U.S. Dollar bought 5 gallon of gasoline.
      1964 ten U.S. dimes made of 90% silver bought 5 gallon of gasoline.

      2025 13 U.S. Dollars for 5 gallons of gasoline (dollars are not stable)
      2025 ten U.S. DIMES made of 90% silver buys 12.72 gallons of gasoline (silver is stable)

  2. Now over $47. Was upset when I cashed out a small silver IRA when it was $28 (because I didn’t trust the holder of the coins – there had been stories at the time). Paid 10% penalty to Uncle Scam too. Now they are in my hands along with others and couldn’t be happier. The 90% pre-1965 stuff will likely be the “walking around money” when the SHTF. Never regret one purchase.
