i found like half of a coin collection in my room, i think my dad gave it to me a few years back, but anyway it was worth maybe $50, but in silver it was worth $488 so the coin place gave me $488 cash...talk bout a good day!

Wow! That's a fun find. Smile

In my 401K I have been invested in silver and other precious metals for 4 years now. Let's just say that it has been good to me. Very Happy

I used to have a couple old silver (or whatever they were before now?) quarters hanging around and I really loved the way they resonate when you flick them in the air with your thumb vs the newer regular quarters. There is a definite difference in sound.

Lol, I have been trading green money for promises the last 6 years. My 401K has been downgraded to a .401l. Pays off to invest in real metal nowadays.
