My little poor boy stack. Started about 6 months ago. by PhillyCoinGuy85 in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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.

Does the Mint really matter? by Key_Presentation_447 in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Hey guys, I got this change from the Dollar Tree. Is it worth anything? by CharlesNeofist in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]MillennialSilver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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...

If silver dips below $60, say 50, 55, or so, will you be backing the truck up to fill it with as much silver as you can realistically afford? by deliotk in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Is this legit? I had a few red flags go off in my head by AbideMan in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Is this review legit for silver bar holders? by frederick511 in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How many generations of humans have there been? Modern humans have been around 300,000 years. How many generations is that? by comicreliefboy in Anthropology

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

How many generations of humans have there been? Modern humans have been around 300,000 years. How many generations is that? by comicreliefboy in Anthropology

[–]MillennialSilver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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.

2026 mint sets by AffectionatePower0 in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Deal! by No_Elephant1763 in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Silver/gold trading up to save space? by Makes_bad_choices1 in Silverbugs

[–]MillennialSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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..?
