What do you guys normally do with your 40% silver?

Postby booclads » Fri Aug 24, 2012 1:18 pm

So what does everyone do with their 40%?

Lately I've been selling it into some silver strength as I can still use a bit of extra cash to pay down debt.

Does anyone trade it for 90% or .999 silver or gold? Or are most just holding on for the long run?

Others may trade or sell, but I never do that with any of my SILVER. :mrgreen:

I keep all mine as well silver is silver, have never sold any. Although, when room in the safe runs out I will consider selling to covert to .9 or .999

I keep trading it off for .9 &.999,
at a 10%-12.5% discount to melt,
but it keeps coming back, always at a larger discount, FV - 50%

Haven't sold any in a very long time. One snowy day a couple years ago, I dumped them all out and did a sort. The black, dirty, dinged or other wise ugly coins went into one bag. The AU-BU ones went into another. The smelter doesn't discriminate, but I do.

I like the looks of the gleaming 40% Kens. Might be, too, because I was alive then and spending these rascals in everyday transactions. 'Course, I was also spending Franklins, Walkers, Mercuries and even the occasional silver dollar given to me by my aunt with a moustache.

Keep them, bag them and bury them. I think of each one as two 90% dimes - might be useful making change one day.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.

Sold all my 40% a year and a half ago to help pay some bills--what was left over I converted into .999 silver.

Ihavecoins you should jump over to the member introduction section and tell us a little about yourself. Once you get 10 posts you can put this up in the buy it now sections. :)

Hoarded since 2008. Had a moment Of INSANITY this week. Disseminating them amongst fellow realcenters for copper. Knew I shouldn't have stopped my medication this week.
Happy to keep them in our circle.
