American "Junk" silver (Pre-1965 US coins) desirability has jumped time during the last 80 days.
Seems like a consensus among stackers, hoarders, novice collectors and concerned citizens has settled in.

Prices have went insane. If you want a good laugh go on APMEX and price 1/10 ounce gold coins and silver eagles.
Still,its strange the attraction for junk silver. Perhaps because its the "Other American silver coins".

Really glad I have all I need and took advantage of the dips in recent Months.

People are buying Buffalo silver rounds. Look a like Walking Liberty, Peace and Morgan rounds.
Real Silver Eagles have become a rich persons coin.
Folks cant get enough Junk Silver and silver rounds.

Yeah, funny how it always happens on a Friday.
I reached 10% of my net worth in gold and silver so no longer buy. More concerned with stacking cash at the moment.
Still consider Nickle a "Sleeper" metal that could experience explosive growth.
I used to clean all my scrap but was paid so little for my last load just piling it up for now. After a remodel I have a stove, fridge, washer and dryer and air conditioners. Electric heaters, hardware and copper pipe too.

Thanks for the tip Pincoin ! Not into searching rolls for American. I would actually like to purchase Kilo ingots of the stuff but haven't researched it yet.
Seems the Market in the States still leans heavily toward US Mint products, old and new. People are willing to pay very high premiums for this stuff even though they could get much more actual bullion weight with other Mints and Generic.
Remember, you are purchasing another form of currency to SPEND. Once its gone will be hard to get back.

Salvage metal dealers used to pay a nickle or dime more per pound if the cans were flattened.
When I had flattened cans I weighed them before trying to sell.
Hard to weigh non' flattened,actually had a guy transfer the cans by hand looking for debris one time.
On the silver/gold front I still insist gold is king. Silver is close to feeling like a scam.
Watch silver for awhile and you begin to see the pattern.
Slow Dow Jones day? Paper silver sells off. Then its allowed to rise for awhile,price shoots up, then it sells off again.
Until this scheme is deep-sixed silver can be a losing game.
World purchases of gold is hampering their price fixing, the lid will come off soon.

People say to stock commodities. Items of tangible wealth.
Gold is a Tier One asset. Silver is an also ran as long as CB manipulation continues.
Food has become a Tier One in my opinion. So has fuel.
Land is still number one. The ability to grow food and enjoy some semblance of privacy.
Tools are primary. so are electrical generators that run on diesel and propane/natural gas.
Precious metals are fun but they won't save us.
Keep stacking aluminum, copper, bronze and high grade iron.
Keep a little physical gold and some spending silver.

Please make sure your pantry is full. Stuff you like to eat. Stuff that stores well like rice, pasta and beans.
Country Ham and Summer sausage along with jerky and pepperoni.
Throw back 20 gallons of water. I like the 5 gallon Primo bottles, Lowes has a simple pump for 13 bucks.
Cheap cold preps like NyQuil (or off brand), aspirin, vitamin C and cough suppressants. Cheap whiskey has its place.
Batteries (AAA and AA) are real handy to have around. So are flashlights and a FM or Shortwave radio.
Space blankets could be lifesavers. Fill your fuel cans and propane tanks.
These sort of preps are desirable right now.

Crash, high octane non ethanol fuel is even better. You can get it at the airport and some stores near race tracks.
My motorcycle Dealer told me they put it in all their bikes for sale since they may sit around awhile before they sale. It takes a good while for 105 octane to drop to 89.
Thanks for the video. I have learned a lot from Taryl Dactal and Zippo Varga about small engines.

Everclear would probably be best since it is so potent(pure grain alcohol). The stuff scares me after a youth consuming PJ.

So do you do "The glass Roll?"
Cognac can be dangerous too!

Really weird today when gold went STRAIGHT UP and stayed there.
It was like everyone put in large orders at the same time. Still not sure why other then the usual suspects.

would expect when that mysterious PM trading desk opens tonight they will return to POUNDING these prices back down.
don't think it is easy as it once was.
Pretty much given up on silver doing anything until the manipulation ends.
Still purchasing gold though, its kind of unique compared to the other metal offerings.

Stripped some copper wiring recently.
Good indoor activity when its freezing outside.
Took a huge load of scrap metal to sell today.
The small container of copper wire sold for 40 percent of the load.
Got copper?
The new cash metal.

Got copper?
Cut off/remove any metal attached to get best price.
Use a good magnet to determine the metal.
Aluminum, copper, bronze? Not magnetic.
Stainless? A slight magnetic pull for certain grades.
DONT BURN WIRE TO GET THE COPPER OUT!
Recyclers don't want it. 80 cents a pound versus 3.20-400.
Pollutes like Hell.
Small amounts of copper are in everything. They add up when extracted.

Scrap is hot.
One of the last Wild West cash businesses left.
Regional, hard for Whale - Type Buyers and Sellers to take over with pricing controls.
Recyclers want it and are paying.
Learn to scrap something. Take a stove apart and separate the different metals.
Stress reliever as well as profitable..

That was 85 days ago.
Seems there is a lot of chatter about silver hate.
A Great awakening about silver and its failure to meet expectations.
Is it real?
Or do they just want to crush and control the Market?

Still buying small gold, no silver.
Probably wrong.

Most salvageable copper is in dumps from the 40's.
The price has reached a level where a little research done on where these dumps are is valuable.

You have done your homework, very good points.
The old saying " as gold rises silver follows" may be quietly changing, at least in Comex areas.
Silver is heading toward full Industrial Commodity like copper. Price manipulation helps steer it.

I add a few ounces to a gold order to round it off.
Its came down to 4 choices to me;
American Silver eagle
American Peace dollar, VG or higher
Germania Mint 1 ounce bar
Mexican Mint Libertad or 5 Peso

There are better deals but I have a reason for each of these.

Good afternoon MQuarters.
Global Manufacturers of copper wire are hamstrung through Regulations.
You probably remember the fire disasters that occurred in the recent past (and still occur from older installations)
using aluminum wiring.
Other metals can conduct well but simply cannot replace the resilience of copper.

Chile as well as other South American sources are under constant Cartel pressure that threatens innovation that would increase extraction/export efficiency.

Gold used to be a byproduct of copper extraction.
Now they concentrate on the gold and copper mining suffers, hence, a shortage of supply.

Simply there is no alternative for copper right now.
Without price controls applied to it much like what is occurring with silver the price of copper would skyrocket to a point of UN sustainability.

Why am I concentrating on Cash?

If There is a blip from the Power Company cash is the only way to procure goods.
People rapidly transfer their accounting to accept cash when the System is down.
(cash boxes, mechanical cash registers, adding machines with paper, calculators)
For a short period of time cash will be preferred over all other sources for transactions.
United States cash for us in the lower 50.
Companies that recently refused cash transactions change policy.

"Cash on the glass"

Quick tip for the weekend;
Stay away from Mining Stocks. All of them.
