Precious Metals

I have quite a bit of silver mostly in US silver eagles, get a tube or two a year. I prefer pre 64 key date coins. They are kinda like our cars and keep going up in value. Only difference the older they are the higher the value goes.
 
I have allot of silver dollars handed down to me plus allot of walking liberties that i accumulated when i was young. Then prob 20 pounds of misc world coins and allot of itatlian pre ww1 and ww2 coins and paper money, I really dont know what it's all worth, would like to fiind soneone that could actually tell me. Someone i could actually trust?..

Can't help with the World stuff but as far as US coin values go I can. Year, mint mark, and condition determines value. Pick up a Red Book. https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Book-U...ild=1&keywords=red+book&qid=1617310281&sr=8-2 It will explain it all. Values tend to be high in the book but it great for figuring out what you have. The Grey sheet is a real quality price guide that dealers use.

Thats great, thanks, I think i need to find an honest dealer neer me, honestly it doesn't mean much to me ........it's more for who gets it when im gone.
That does seem like a good guide though..
Also most of what i have is not mint, probably good is what i would call it, i buy and sell rare guitars and i have learned to grade things properly.

What are those dollars worth today?
Not much.
When the value of gold is tied to the value of the dollar, when the dollar is worth zero.....you do the math.

Right now, The Dollar is not tied to the value of Gold. Nixon took Us off of that system, and We are on the Petro Dollar System now. It is controlled by The Central Banks, and there may be a MAJOR CHANGE coming soon. This gets into a Whole New Topic, which would include the Current Printing of the Fiat Currency, Inflation, Implosion, and a switch over to Crypto-Currency. Our Monetary system is like a Run-Away Train, at This Point. Our Dollars could eventually be worth $00.00, yet the Precious Metals will hold Their Valu, to some extent, or possibly Explode in value. I believe one of Trumps Goals was to get Us back on The Gold Standard, with a New Currency, after the Table was "Cleaned". I'm looking at All angles on this, and trying to cover the bases, before the Next "Jubilee"...
 
Coin dealers can be a crap shoot. A lot are looking to score big and love it when someone walks in with an inherited collection hoping they don't know what they have. Others are honest and will pay fair value. The key is going in educated. Having a book or two that explains the coins and value should be part of what you give them.

Those Pawn Brokers and Coin Dealers are always looking to make a good cut on your goods.....and sell at a premium when you want something.

Best advice is to research yourself online before making a commitment with any sales.

Pawn shops are the worst. A lot of coin dealers are legit especially if they have been established for many years. But like our cars someone looking to make a buck is there.
 
As I understand, Silver's value is based on manufacturing. If there's no money, there will be no manufacturing, therefore little demand for Silver.

And if there’s no money than it really doesn’t matter if you exchanged your money for silver, does it?

So what do you do when you want to buy something, go in with a silver or gold bullion bar & a portable scale and nip off pieces and weigh it till you get to the right amount?

Well that is one way but not practical if you think about it. Say you have a 1oz Silver round or bar. Then your purchase bill is say 34.00. You have a value of 1oz of .999 Silver and it is 35.00 per once on the spot amount which is 35.00/Silver oz. You now have a credit from paying with one round or oz of Silver with that merchant. It builds up as you purchase more. Simplified I know but there are ways and it is surprising how many businesses right now are doing this. Maybe not where you are but out here I have seen it occurring...cr8crshr/Bill:usflag::usflag::usflag:

I didnt say the dollar was tied to the value of gold. I said the value of gold is tied to the value of the dollar.
