90% premiums increasing

Postby Cu Penny Hoarder » Tue Aug 13, 2024 8:06 am

The premium increases are small, but have been steadily rising over the past 2 weeks.

I actually prefer 90% over ASEs and bars; it's fractional, it's old US money, there's much less chance of counterfeiting and they aren't making anymore of it.

Mercury dimes are my fav 90%.

Anyone have some Mercs for sale at spot? Lol

2-3 weeks ago the guy who owns the shop in Spring Hill/Tampa was selling his 90% at spot, including Mercs.

This is great news but take advantage of it while you can.

I think with the dollar debasement thats necessary to just pay the interest on the debt we are going to see gold and silver continue to trade up as short dollar trades. Because that is mechanistic, rather than tied to demand for phyz, premiums drop.

Nice for anyone in that area.

I regularly watch YouTube and listen to what coin shop dealers around the country have to say, and when asked which form of 90% sales the quickest in their shops they say Mercs by a wide margin!

nice thread Penny...thinking......the trend is our friend, and i dont only mean chart's. ie, lets code frn's as "s+h greenstamps. yeh?

and you and my brother say the same thing, ...90's!!!

the "trouble" is two fold, the second wave of stickers has crashed into a market that has the bottom of the barrel in population for sale. Maybe a lot of us who picked low hanging fruit in 1995, or 2000, 2005, and maybe i doubled down on the kick up in ...what 2011?...so what?.....my avg is solid, i never sold a toz in my life...for what? s+h green stamp coupons?....I GOT THEM TOO!!! just in case.....(i'm laughing, not shouting)......i aint gonna buy low grade, what i been buying are gem ten faces, and i pay up, though i did through an amicable misunderstanding backed out of 55 times bid, the listing was for half roll, 20 pcs, but i SAW 40...in my mind, my BAD, called the seller, and it was all good. I just cant pay 110 times face......yet.

i aint a rich guy...if i was, and there was an open outcry pit, like the belly pit back in the old daze? i'd stand up and holler "600 for a Thousand!!!"...meaning 600 times face for a thousand ten face GEM rolls.....what bid would draw a flood of 90's holders to sell?......700? 800?
But a neat thing is this, the market for 90's, Constitutional Money is decentralized....what next?...portends rough sailing, folks aint behaving...what's new?,,,NICE thread Penny!
