90% ?

[SilverStacker]

Who is still buying 90% ? I hear things are lightening up at refinerys. Not that that ever was a concern for me. The only reason I'm not buying junk this month is Nov. was a heavy month for me and I need to take care of Dec. bills. A few hundred on the CC, car insurance, Doctor bills, increased gas/heating bills....ect.

Were it not for that I'd hate to be passing on sub-spot silver. Maybe toward the end of the month I'll be able to pop for $10 or $20 face of halves. I like buying the half dollars, they got some chunk to them. Tho I think the pre-'65 winged Liberty dimes are an impressive design.

I'm retired. No discretionary cash to purchase more silver.

90% will be barter denominations if it comes to that.

A 1964 dime is $4.11 today. I could buy gas for $0.05 gallon!

Also retired. I do have some discretionary cash but I'm just not gonna buy at todays prices. There is no longer a need to do so. I do wish I had bought a bit more AU,....I still might get a little more just to make my stack a round number. We shall see.

I have some cash I could buy with but not a whole lot and Ive pretty much blown my balloon on what I can spend. But still I will add a bit every month while keeping an eye on prices. My gut tells me prices aren't going to come down much even if $58 didn't hold. I started stacking late in life so I loaded in big this year and as things turned out my timing was pretty good, thru luck mostly, but even a retired cop knows the rules of supply and demand.

I get a pension but I'm sure not rich and I wish I had loaded into AU young as well. Strangely it never even occurred to me at the time but there was a whole lot of O.T. checks I could have bought AU with instead of pissing it away on this or that. Now the deals for working stiffs is in 90% but even that has got pricey, $391 for $10 face Quarters ? For 90% you may or may not get a decent return for ?

I have a LCS that still sells me coins and rounds for decent %'s so I think I'll go with that for now.

I like 90%, but I already have a satisfactory allocation of it. When I buy silver lately, it's mostly .999 fine secondary market cheap stuff or ASEs if I find a good price.

I never liked 90% unless I got a silver dime in change back in the 1970s. My grandfather put away a bunch of mercury dimes and Franklin halves out of change. It was interesting that he was vindicated for identifying and saving them, however I never heard of anybody earning life changing returns from junk silver.

I told my son a couple of years ago to buy one Morgan and one Peace dollar so he can fondle them, but concentrate on gold. He also bought a few kilos of silver and several ounces of platinum.

A silver coin is a store of value, a silver quarter is more than a gallon of gas and a silver dollar a fine meal...a little hard to buy right now though.
