Sold my junk silver just in time....

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to stop by and let those of you who maybe looking in on this blog know that i got very lucky a few months ago. I sold my junk silver off right before the crash. Sadly, another collector, as well as a close friend, did not fare so well. He decided to wait.

Prior to selling I was going back and forth as I watched silver go higher and higher and....well you get it. Anyway suddenly I found myself out of work and was forced to sell. Still it was a hard choice. I did not want to let go of my coins. To me they were worth more then just the silver. There is history in those coins. Ok not all, some where very recent, within the last decade or so. However it was a painful experience. Sure I was very happy to be making more then i bought them from. That was a plus.

I guess you could say I am a coin hoarder, don't want to let any coin go that may have some collectible value, even the new ones. I think I have about 1,000 of the pennies from 2009 to present. There all in MS condition and know that oh in about a million of so years will be worth something, lol. Well probably not that long but most likely not in my life time.

In addition to wanting to hold on to every coin I find I search for errors, and varieties. There is nothing like having a bucket full or coins, or a box from the local bank to search through for hours.

So with all that said I have very little silver left out of my main collection, which in itself does not have much either. In the end I know I made a tough choice but for all the right reasons.

Unfortunately my friend did indeed miss the bus on this one. Usually it is me that misses the golden opportunity, but sadly this time it was him. Recently we have seen silver jumping back up close to $40.00 an once. Who knows what the market will do? If it crashes I am going to buy buy buy, and if it keeps going up up up, I will let my friend know I want to buy all his silver, lol. Just joking.

Regards,
Coinman
