I lost my rear on silver. I bought a mixture of US and CAN silver coins (around $150 worth) from my bank one time, and I think it's worth around half what I paid, around $25 or $30 a coin when I got it, as opposed to $18 now, and dropping. I've considered selling them off before I lose way too much, but I think I ought to buy a couple more at these prices. At least one thing, I can actually use a knife, not just look at it like the coins--that's part way why I want a silver scaled Vic even though they cost an arm and a leg.
