Just thought you all would like to know…..

KT has not quit trying to purchase silver half dollars from eBay, but with the recent rise of the value of silver, dealers are asking too much….no bargains located in the past few months and even those bid on, going for far above what KT is willing to pay. And no, KT has not sold any of His Royal Hoard. He does not need the money, just letting it lay as a final parting gift for Prince John. KY’s health is reasonable, diabetes well under control, weight under control. Waiting for the weather to get consistently cold enough to start burning some firewood this winter! Ha ha.

KT remains interested in both silver halves and fluorescent minerals, have two specimens ordered presently that should be here by this coming Monday. Wishing everyone a great Holiday Season and happy hunting!

Good to hear KT. When you get back to buying always enjoyed your posts. Or wood cutting. Or splitting. Or painting rifles, bike racks, etc!

I was buying Morgan or Peace dollars weekly myself. Even after the refineries said they weren't buying junk silver the silver dollars were selling at auction for over 10.00 of melt!!

"No bargains located" is right! I was having fun last year buying Foreign Silver, but now even that is going too high.

Yep, if you can't find any in the ground you are doomed to pay the long dollar for sure.

Silver dollars, real ones, not those Chinese fakes, have always demanded a premium, but now that all silver coins are up in value, the sellers seem to think they are the new gold! KT managed to put together a hoard of 96 of them before the premiums just got too high!

KT has a small horde of Canadian, French, and British silver that He never listed in the Forum, but like you said, it has gone too high presently to worry with!

Well, silver, like gold, prices are cyclical, so KT hopes to live long enough to be able to start buying some small lots again. If so, KT will start posting in here again!

Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes, LovestheShiny! KT looks forward to that activity also, if Ag ever comes back down in price.

I thought I would share a coin that I just got in a 'lot'. As posted above, I had been unable to find any 'reasonable' deals for many months (since April). Finally last week, I was able to purchase a mixed lot of coins and a token for under 50% of melt! Here is one of the coins that I think is just really, really neat! It is a 1948 5 Peso (90% Silver) with a Sterling Silver bezel. I added a picture of the token also (I have already sold it for $25.00)

That was a nice find! And yes, around April this year was when silver coins on eBay started getting crazy! Enjoyed seeing the pictures!

I am glad to get the Token back to Idaho to someone who appreciates it! I won it in the lot from someone in Idaho and they shipped it to me in Wisconsin. I turned around and listed it and got it sold and shipped BACK to Idaho. Nice quick turnaround!

IF silver keeps going up, KT will reevaluate His Royal Holdings in a couple or 3 months! HA HA And that is a big IF! Glad to see everyone else so all fired confident. Who are YOUR advisors....I hope not the folks presently selling and marketing silver bars and one ounce coins!
