If the youngsters had not been so eager to take advantage of what they thought was MY ignorance I would have happilly pointed out the mistake. It was their greed that taught the lesson not mine.

I wonder how many others have had a similar experience. Last year I had been to the bank and the teller was counting out Kennedy half dollars to put in her till. I told her I would buy them which I did. I went through to make sure there were no silver coins then commenced spending them. I went...

April did you mean to post this on a different thread? "What did you do today to MAKE money" Perhaps?

:yuckyuck I water the grass near the back deck a lot. Not sure if I could make it all the way out to the garden sometimes. :gig Seriously I was in the Phillipines for 16 months back in the early seventies and it was common practice to fertilize the garden using human waste. I had dinner many...

It is winter. I am laid off from work. I work for a service company that cleans homes, windows and new construction sites. During the summer I collect cast off pieces of copper wire ( I love electricians, every where they go they leave a trail of money) when the winter layoff comes and chores...

I hate to have to bring up Zimbabwe where they are currently digging in the hills desperately trying to find a gram of gold to feed their family or the Wiermar republic after world war II when they were burning wheelbarrows full of paper money because it was cheaper than firewood but history has...

It did exempt gold coins such as dubloons and coins from other countries but it is my understanding that any and all gold coins minted by the U.S. were confiscated. All but one. I saw an article a few years back where one gold double eagle was found dated prior to 1933. They stated that it was...

Exactly. All Gold coins were confiscated regardles of numismatic value. Back then people were not allowed to open their safety deposit boxes without an agent of the IRS present. That is why you never want to trust a bank to store any precious metal. Invest in a very secure fireproof, waterproof...

Can't hurt. Good luck.

Honestly the person who trades me silver dimes for eggs knows full well the value of silver. He also knows the value of a dozen fresh brown eggs. A few years back there was an article on coinflation about a gas station owner in Oregon that advertized gasoline for 25 cents a gallon if his...

I've told everyone that I supply with eggs... $2.00 or one silver dime. One friend actually provides me with the dime instead of the cash. BTW in 1964 that is exactly what a dozen eggs cost... a dime. ;)

Framing fowl as long as pennies are accepted as money it is illegal to melt them. Right now the local coin dealer will pay 2 cents for every "wheat back" penny. The reason they will only buy wheat backs is that they are surley copper without checking the dates. I expect down the road they will...

I started buying when silver was $4.67 an ounce and gold was $240.00 an ounce. Now silver is $28.00 an ounce and gold $1380.00. I fully expect that those prices will double again in 2011. I would highly recomend silver coins, silver eagles or silver maple leafs over bars as recently some...

All dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars minted in1964 or before contain 90% silver.

Wannabefree... Sorry to hear that. IMO you sold at rock bottom prices. Abifae... Not only does it not "rot" in your pocket it has antibacterial properties. SKR8PN...Doubt you have that much lead and even though you can't eat it, it can pay the bills as wannabe pointed out. Farmerchick. My...

I was born in 1949 and when I was sixteen years old in 1965 I got my drivers license and I could buy a gallon of gasoline for 15 cents. I can still buy a gallon of gas for 15 cents. At the current price of silver a Roosevelt dime minted prior to 1964 and a war nickle (1942-1945) have a silver...

Borders mean nothing. I have been halfway around the world and people are still people. SS has a small community of people, BYC has a small community of people, Facebook has a large community. IMHO There is no such thing as an outside opinion in a global community. That is what the internet...

But still want the benefits of flavonoid antioxidants? Try putting a single green tea bag over the drain hole in your drip coffee maker under the coffee filter. All your coffee will drip through the tea bag taking the "good stuff" with it and the coffee masks the taste of the tea. Been doing...

I don't doubt that everyone in every country is underinformed, misinformed and flat out lied to from all the mainstream media outlets. None of us can trust what we see on the local news, world news or financial news stations. If you doubt that just take the time to look up who owns the media...

Hi LL. If you are going to have to rent a jackhammer to bust up that concrete be advised that often concrete has reinforcing wire running through it. You may find it easier to rent a concrete saw and cut it into manageable sections. The saw won't be as difficult to use (a jackhammer can beat you...
