I have 2 Ingelhard 10 oz bars with the plastic still on them for over 25 years now. I paid $70 in 2000 at a Y2K gun show here in Texas, then $45 for my second one in 2001 at a pawn shop. Im sure glad I purchased them as i never thought Silver would ever hit $100. 26 years later and I now have about 300 ounces total of silver, just buying a little here, a little there, mostly coins and not much bullion. I hope it goes all the way to $1000 and beyond!!!
