That, Major D, would require jumping into the nearest quantum sinkhole.

I was going for defying physics and gravity.

It’s very interesting to me how extremely sensitive those CD returns are to such short term market movements; I don’t see how one couldn’t help but develop an ulcer trying to keep up with this.

Kaiser, I’ve gotten in the habit of monitoring prices at sellers like APMEX because I’m interested to see if certain coin sets are trending up or down. What I see are prices for uncirculated/mint sets and proof sets (those from 1968 to 2021) have been really stable with very little to no price changes over the course of the last two years, despite the inflationary trends elsewhere. Silver sets, on the other hand, have varied up and down based on the changing spot price, but not really showing inflation trends either. Certain sets have really increased in price, but I think this is more due to collector demand vs. inflation- e.g. the limited ed. sets and certain sets like 2012 or those with special coins like 2019 and 2020. Most commemoratives have trended downward in price.

I’ve always been under the impression “silver soaring” was a Silver Surfer thing.

Trickle down just means somebody is peeing on you and telling you it’s raining

Many can’t pay every month, but better than high interest loan. It saved me many times. As my dad would say, I came into this world with nothing, and I still have most of it left. Sometimes you can’t get that loan. Hopefully the info gets him to the point he can pay every month

Looks like a little bungalow. Perhaps King Charles will gift it to Prince George as a birthday present.

Amen! I have always believed that U.S. Mint Proof coin sets & Unc. coin sets that I can buy from coin dealers for about $10 or less are a great value. And like the situation you basically refer to Major D., if I ever send in the ones that I think might grade high at PCGS or NGC, I might make enough profit to retire!
