re: Silver up 12% for the week on Black Friday

What did you grab? People laugh at me buying Pokémon boxes and sports cards on the side. If you know what you are doing it can be a solid side investment
It was a 1998 Randy Moss Super Rave /25 PSA 8. Extremely niche/rare card so it could be a bust but I loved RM and think his cards could see their day. Also, the Super Rave /25 and /50 cards are a very similar lineage to some extremely high dollar cards that have repriced. I like those sets long term. Low print cards from the Fleer/Skybox family in the mid-late 90s are where it’s at.
I never collected Pokémon or I’d look into it. I’m just too clueless.

This ad popped up on FB the other day. If we could only roll back the clock.

I had to learn pokemon but it is easier imo. As far as sports cards, collect what you love. If you want to do it for money you need to check the current values. I try not to buy anything under a 9 as there is a point that a raw card is worth more than the grade.

1965 was the year shitbox LBJ pulled silver out of our coinage and made it copper and nickel plated garbage.
That $2.10 for a series of cards priced in 90% silver coinage today would be $87.89
Guess it's a good thing I have hoarded over $1,000 FV at every denomination level ($1, $0.5, $0.25, and $0.1)
Silver is the most undervalued asset in history once reckoning day comes and it always does people's faces will melt and this was your opportunity to build generational wealth.
You just have to be smart enough to roll assets back into assets that are hated at the time. Be a contrarian in everything you do.

The card I bought has a graded PSA pop of 5 though, 0% gem rate. I don’t think there was a documented sale of any card better than PSA 8. You’re right though generally. I would never buy a normal card that was a PSA 8.

Once the trust in the LME/LBMA and CME/COMEX rehypothetcation schemes end the price for physical will dislocate and Shanghai with its cash & carry market will take over as the pricing mechanism. When that rupture occurs and despite TD's Daniel Ghali saying the silver squeeze from Thanksgiving/Black Friday is over the raging industrial demand on top of inelastic supply means the squeeze is mathematically inevitable. You will see $600/oz silver the technical analysts are pointing at April 2029.
Personally I am not sure I would exchange my silver for anything but assets or constitutional dollars once we have killed off the federal reserve and their fiat debt death machine.

600 would be shocking, I'd love to see it

I am assuming the IRS has already been kilt in this scenario?

I doubt it goes that high.
I think I have at least 90 silver eagles. So as awesome as $600/oz would be for me….it would be a disaster in so many other ways.

Oh it absolutely will.
I just don't think the world realizes the Babylonian debt slavery system is going to collapse in our lifetimes.

$60 Silver
Posted on 12/9/25 at 10:41 am to FAT SEXY
Silver is ripping! 60.56 now.
I use ngc coin melt values to see what each coins melt value is. Its a good resource. Google ngc silver melt value.
Amazing on what 5 oz America the Beautiful silver coin melt value is now at 302.80. I have quite a few of those some being rated as well.

Yup $60 was proving to be massive resistance but hopefully it turns into support so we can rip higher confidently.

Whats the best way to unload bulk pre-64 silver and or package it? I've seen it sold two ways and don't know if one is preferred over another.
By weight or by value ($100 worth of pre-64 currency)
Want to package all mine up in prep to see when the time is right, as its sorted by denominations now

The industry standard for pre-65 90% silver (halves, quarters, and dimes) is that $1 FV contains 0.715 oz silver even though they were minted with 0.72338 oz silver originally this is to account for silver loss from wear and tear of being in people's pockets and cash registers over the years.
The quick and easy way to figure out what spot price for your 90% silver coins is to take the current spot price and divide it by 1.4
As of this post:
$60.50 / 1.4 = $43.214 per $1 FV then just multiply that by the number of dollars you have in coinage
Beware though because of silver's insane run up the last few months people have been taking their 90% coins in and selling them to their local coin shops to the point that the refiners are so backed up they stopped buying them so most coin shops are offering below spot deals on the sell side so you will likely get well below spot selling to them.
Bundle it up and sell if you will but IMHO you will be better off waiting for the current run up to pull back and let the system establish equilibrium and even get back to retail buyers buying more. If you just want to take profits that's cool too but most of your LCS will have a coin separator and they will pay you some relation to spot based on the equation I have listed above.

Just wait the ghost inventory is gone we shipped it to India and now the combination of inelastic supply and overwhelming demand is going to melt people's faces the way Bitcoin did in the 2017-2021 mania

So best way to bundle for sale is by dollar value is what you're saying?
So if I have 10000 dimes, packaging it into groups of 1000 or $100 is the way to go?
