RE: Visited my local coin shop today!

in #steemsilvergold7 years ago

Those Kennedy Half Dollars look great. Several years ago, when silver was upwards of $40 - $50 an ounce, my local coin shop was busting open mint rolls of 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars. It was almost sacriligious to me. They said that the price of silver was so high that the 'melt value' was higher that the numismatic value. I was mortified. I got a few at an astronomical price, then returned for the loose Kennedy Halves when the price came down.

Thats crazy goldkey!!! I remember when all of that went down. I wasn't a stacker just yet but my father had a pretty good size treasure put away. I think it took all that to happen for me to understand why he put away the way he did and after I did my research on whats truly going on in the world I too got into putting away true, biblical pieces of wealth the way it was meant to be. I love the 90% they are so beautiful and undervalued. Buying them is the easiest way to get close or under spot per ounce. I love the walkers a lot but idk, Kennedy will always be my favorite president and I just love the coin for that reason. I even picked up a 70 grade 50th anniversary kennedy half reverse proof awhile back and its absolutely stunning. Not too into numismatic but now and again I see something I have to have lol.
