Shining just like gold.

Wish I had a handful of these 1849 Beaver $5 pieces from Oregon. One sold in 2020 at auction for $336,000

Thats only 10.000 felt beaver todays price.

Because someone somewhere said there was a shortage and people being unprepared lemmings jumped and bought up the supply buying all they could find if not creating the shortage making it much worse.


We stay stocked on things and even if we ran out I was never more than a few steps from the shower when at home so was never a concern for me.

IMHO the biggest driver of the gold market is aggressive purchases by foreign Central banks. 2nd factor is the threat of rate cuts.

Don't forget a dying US dollar

It's musical chairs. The system is eventually going to collapse. There will be a lot of fingerpointing but no accountability.

The sky is falling.

It's going to.

It's because they bought up all of the bread and milk on the shelves. When the power goes out, all they will have to eat in the coming days is stale bread for clabbered milk sandwiches. They'll be needing all of that toilet paper.

Forget the toilet paper.

The tp frenzy made me laugh.....so many people are just dumb. I got me a gold sovereign today, 1911 mint date for $550. Pretty fair shape also....felt like spending some money and scratched that itch by buying gold...could have gone worse..

I was talking to my dad the other day. He bought 5 bags of silver dimes, quarters and dollars about 5 years ago. He said it penciled out to $17/oz at the time. If I were in the market, I'd certainly buy coins over any other options.

I refuse to pay spot price.

^Where do you buy gold/silver then?

I pay around the melt ask price and sometimes less, sometimes a bit more. That would be less than 'spot'. Gold coins the same weight(basically) can vary $60-70 depending on the country they were minted in....I am not talking about 'collector' coins just regular junk silver coins and non collectable gold coins. Right now the gold ask is $2,346 so a 1/4 ounce coin is $586 plus the premium and some 1/4 ounce gold coins are really .235-.245 ounce.
The online bullion dealers are usually $60-100 more than my coin shop and some of the coins they sell would be taxable(I believe).

No gold but silver I buy from private sale. Most from metal detecting will not get collector coin prices.

Because maybe they're not into using leaves or grass...? Just because Boco is all nat-u-ral in his AW, doesn't mean most people are. TP could become money in some situations, better uses than trading seashells.

P.S. I prefer snow over leaves or grass, a much more clean feeling, although snow is kind of hard to get in Dakota come July...

I bought T-P and primers today. I'm guessing my 5 year ROI will be better than gold.

Maybe but how much tp can you carry hidden from view?
