picked up $100 FV of merc dimes, just a minute ago from Provident metals was thinking of hitting it earlier but wasn't sure what price was gonna do, I hesitated but then again I also hesitated @ $36 on friday so for 2xface extra I feel better and safer. If we see another drop I'm gonna go in for another $100 in random junk silver I think.
Wanted to go to the coin store upstairs and see if he is selling but he keeps closing early and when I catch him there he is way busy and I can't wait an hour for service lol. Also since we are both PM buyers in competition I'm not sure if he really wants to see me.
Why I like merc dimes: 1. You might get a numismatic coin there (not likely) 2. merc dimes are ALWAYS silver, in a SHTF situation they are the likely to be the best trade unit as they are immediately recognized as old (and silver) no date checking, etc as opposed to roosie dimes which can be electroplated to look like silver easily to the person who isn't checking the dates or well informed. 3. Other than perhaps copper pennies (which I am dubious of ever being manageable currency, too bulky, too much lifelong beating into peoples head that pennies are effectively worthless) the dime is most likely to be useful currency for day to day transactions, bushel of corn 1 dime, 4. Soon I will have another 1000 all silver coins to play with
