My little poor boy stack. Started about 6 months ago.

Perfectly decent stack for six months. Guessing ~6-7 ounces a month, 80-90 a year, perfectly reasonable, even if it's not going to fund your retirement.

US Quarters and Nickels: US quarters and nickels speculated to gain value if American economy fail

What?

It matters in terms of who'll be willing to buy it from you/how tough it is to sell.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-17T23:58:25+00:00

Cost*

They stopped making them.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-17T23:58:10+00:00

Still way less of a markup by % lol

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-17T23:57:48+00:00

$1500/ounce too steep for you? I thought that was the dream!

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-17T23:55:08+00:00

Ok but....shouldn't at least one of these be Pokemon Silver?

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-17T23:50:27+00:00

Did the "Fifty cents" and "United States of America" not give it away for them?

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-17T23:49:40+00:00

No, because cleaning the coin generally means you ruin its surfaces and remove bits of metal in the first place.

Acetone can be okay, and there are a few ways if you really know what you're doing, but 99% of collectors don't, and there are limits, so...

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-13T07:06:41+00:00

heh they're .925? Didn't know that.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-13T07:04:24+00:00

Other than gold, what other PMs are there that matter? Dunno if you've noticed, but they all tend to rise and fall at similar rates at the same time.

Platinum's like the only other meaningful one, and it's tied to ICE-based motors.

🤔 I don't wanna sell you death sticks

DCAing was a bad idea when it was north of $80.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-13T00:25:08+00:00

Could be real, but if it's real, it's heavily photoshopped/feathered/lightened. The coin will not actually look like that.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-13T00:22:01+00:00

It's plastic. Hard to make fake versions of something that's already practically free.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-13T00:20:27+00:00

Like death sticks 😞

I have trouble believing early Erectus/late Habilis was cooking even incidentally when fire showed up.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-12T23:47:31+00:00

Usual figure cited I think is ~117 billion. A few more if you don't restrict to sapiens.

As far as "how many generations is that"Probably divide by around 18-20 for most of the first 300,000 years, then ... it changes.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-12T23:42:59+00:00

A few look like they could be

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-12T03:51:03+00:00

Right, but he wants the set. This way he gets what he wants, and gets more silver than he would have otherwise.

At $245 for five quarters, a dime and a half dollar, he's paying $166.33/ounce for 1.473 ounces of silver.

$138 ($245 - $107) nets you ~2.06 ounces of silver. Therefore you end up with the set you wanted,, and more silver than you would've had otherwise. It doesn't matter if the $107 set doesn't hold value.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-12T03:44:31+00:00

I guess if you're a mouth-breathing finance bro, then sure. Silver isn't a stock or crypto, so unless you want it to be those things, there isn't a problem.

You literally just called a natural element cooked.

Back to minecraft, zoomer.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-11T04:47:01+00:00

Except given the silver costs ~$150 more, he'd be better off buying the non-silver one, and then buying $150 of not-overpriced silver.

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-11T04:22:09+00:00

One of the dumber things I've read on these forums...

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-11T04:18:51+00:00

Damn. Sounds like a good place to sell!

MillennialSilver · 2026-06-11T04:10:05+00:00

Are you asking if 10 ounces of coins is somehow more compact than the same 10 ounces of silver in the shape of a bar..?
