No, no, no, JWP! If that happens the gummint will likely shoot them all down!

Absolutely, Antonio. Since Silver (capital “S”) has long been “me precious” I will happily cheer for anything having to do with that lovely metal!

Which is not to say, Major D and Good Sir Rich, that I don’t like the idea of items in my collection going up in (or at least holding) their value, but this remains strictly theoretical since I haven’t sold any coins as yet. I put it that way because at the ripe old age of 75 with the Mint slowly but surely pricing itself out of my reach and not a soul in my entire extended family having any interest in taking up my collecting passion I may at some point decide to “clean house”.

Just buy silver for the sake of silver, for goodness sake!

Not Kaiser- at least according to what he’s said on these threads.

Major D, I think all coin collectors have at least some speculator in them.

For a silver O’ree version coin, however look no further!

I p/u 3 from Gatewest and gave one to a good friend who had season hockey tickets directly in front of Mr O’ree! My buddy had taken me to numerous games and on a few occasions Mr O’ree was in attendance! Definitely a “Legend”!

Thanks Cali for the information and the link. I now see that all the other silver product price increases made by the Mint today were only just revealed today (Feb. 8) in the Federal Register.

Hey Rich; I’m not saying you aren’t familiar with the Federal Register; however in my case, at times while trying to search I have limited results? Anyhow, take another peak and this is the link I have bookmarked for my daily, FR check.

Re:todays CCAC meeting announcement, I’m excited to see the designs for the Willie O’ree “Gold Medal”! I’d love to see them do a rendition in Silver; however I think it’s legislation will stipulate, “Gold Medal” to the Smithsonian, Silver to the recipient and or ancestors, bronze for sale.
