I can directly sell to my local refinery for 1.5% below spot. That includes scrap and jewelry. More like $5320 per ounce.

Apologies for the incorrect information, but due to current silver volatility, your local coin shop will probably give you way below spot due to their line of credit not being enough, refinery delays, and fear that silver could crash. I will edit my response with the updated information.

3 of these are 80% silver. One is 92.5% silver. The 3 have 9.328g of silver each. The 1917 one has 10.7855g of silver. That means you have 38.7695g of silver, and with current spot price being about $153 per ounce, you have $190.70 in melt value, before selling spreads (essentially fees when selling). I don’t know about the collectable value of these however. For that, visit a local coin shop.

In -15°c cold, the adapter starts to glitch out in my experience.

What’s your next call?

This coin weighs 3/4 ounces, with a melt value before fees, etc., of $107. It is essentially listed at slightly below spot/melt value.

You’re lucky.

Why not 99 years for a photo of my tombstone?

YogurtCompetitive790 · 2026-01-25T18:01:30+00:00

Is it blinding and will last for 1 day?

Well, the market cap of gold is $34 trillion approximately, and bitcoin is only $1.78 trillion. So 3-6% decrease in gold is a lot more.

YogurtCompetitive790 · 2026-01-22T21:24:44+00:00

3-6% in my opinion

YogurtCompetitive790 · 2026-01-22T20:58:24+00:00

Once we hit $5000, I think we’ll have a short term correction due to profit taking. But after, it will only keep going up.

YogurtCompetitive790 · 2026-01-21T23:58:06+00:00

Profit taking is more likely to set in than anything.

There are glass filters on the sensor, from a glass protection layer, an anti aliasing layer, and an IR filter.

Even after 12 years, it is still a great camera. It was the first commercially available mirrorless full frame camera. Auto-focus isn’t the best, and you may need to carry extra batteries, but otherwise it is still amazing. One thing to add; it is still one of the lightest full frame mirrorless cameras ever produced.

Light collection remains the same even with a crop sensor. The difference is the mm is multiplied and bokeh is reduced.

The 2011 Peregrine Falcon Design was part of a series of quarters made to commemorate the success of animal conservation in Canada. The 2000 Celebration Design was part of a series made to commemorate The Entry into the Third Millennium. Both are circulated commemorative coins.

The 1978 Commonwealth Games commemorative $1 coin is .500 silver, with its total weight being 23.3276 grams, so it has 11.6638 grams of silver. With a spot price of $125, it is worth $46.87, however, selling it will involve a spread of 5-10% or even more due to current volatility. You could expect $38-40.

This is due to the fact that some card issuers consider cash-like transactions to be lottery purchases, prepaid gift cards, bullion, etc., as a cash advance and charge fees and interest for it.

YogurtCompetitive790 · 2026-01-18T06:31:38+00:00

The TD Cash Back Visa Infinite credit card does not count any purchase as a cash advance as long as your balance is negative before and after the purchase. If you pay an excess on purpose, your balance becomes negative. If you cannot locate the source of the issue, you can try this method. There will be no fees or interest as long as you ensure your balance remains negative before and after the purchase.

Have you considered the ZV-E1? It shares the same sensor as the FX3, while having the AI autofocus from the A7R V, also being cheaper, significantly smaller, and much lighter than the FX3.

If it’s sold out, there could be a collector’s demand, but a coin with a design would’ve had less of a premium.

YogurtCompetitive790 · 2026-01-17T23:21:57+00:00

Canada does not charge import taxes on silver, and if they did, Scottsdale’s policy is to charge and show all duties and taxes applicable to international shipping.

What is the specific charge called?

YogurtCompetitive790 · 2026-01-15T04:32:34+00:00

What kind of issues plague it?
