    Anonmiss doesnt count as it isnt silver.

    Mine is RAM colored artist set. Thought rolf would ensure universal appeal and future value. No sign of any probs regarding rolf when i got them unlike now.:(

    First and only color coin, at least i didnt go chasing the dragon rainbow.

    Do you name a pocket thief that grabs your wallet as someone 'not in harmony with your feelings'?
    I don't.
    It has to do with preserving the purchasing power you earnt after producing things and services available to purchase.
    That's it.
    That's all.
    Morality? Feelings? Grandmothers? Where?

    You all have at least got silver to show for it. Myself and other are still waiting on RSC rounds. Paid for and not received.
    Not sure we ever will or if they are still making them :rolleyes:

    Any chance you could stop browbeating with every post Pricco? Your pontificating is boorish and dull.

    You have not made any better purchases of metals than anyone else on here so stop carrying on with your greater fool theory bullshit and making out like you are some sort of superior guru.

    Sneering and flawed statistics do not make for informative or interesting reading so how about giving it a rest?

    House you can't+ infinity.
    Infinity has no end and it can't be added to and measured.

    It's a unique number .

    1 kilo mouse. S2.

    I got caught up in a bidding war, rush of blood to the head. I also hoped perth mint would not re-mint. Deepdown i new that they would.

    could have bough one for 400 dollars less a month later.

    Oh well you live and learn.

    Worst silver purchase for far I've spent too much money on CDs instead of investing in silver before. Well CDs aren't silver you would say. Well the reverse side of CD is similar to silver - it's shiny, it has the "same color" and it's get ugly if you touching it, it lost its value if scratched, etc. :)

    Before someone starts complaining. :)

    I didn't make many purchases so far but maybe biggest mistake were D&D coins and Fiji Red Dragon (2oz). Will see.:)

    My losses are very significant.

    To the point of making you mob look like a bunch of pen pushing pussies.

    Beat that.

    I lose (win).

    Now back to the show...

    Your laughing at me for a mistake that cost me thousands. Not nice.

    My average for silver is around 30 so I'm not crying.

    Thank turtle EM - for a while I thought I was alone thinking the same, and had given up responding to it.

    I watched the price go to $50 per oz biding my time.

    Saw the price drop 15% in the middle of the night and made a bid.

    Felt like a genius at the time having not gotten carried away by the frenzy :D

    Heard of a relatively old couple down in Melbourne who withdrew all their savings and Super and put it all into silver when it was $46 or so ($200k+ from what I remember :/ ). As it's said, there's always someone worse off than you.

    Roll of re-minted Kooks.

    It wasn't so much the dollar value (about $38/oz I think) that made it the worst purchase, it was the fact that I saw them on Bullion Bourse before they were on any other stores website, no official announcement from the Perth Mint and no-one here knew anything about any re-mints either.

    Naturally I jumped at the chance thinking it's possible Bullion Bourse had just done a small buyback (which I think is a theory that was thrown around at the time). They were on their way to me via post when I found out the re-minting had occured, at which point all the dealers started to stock them, causing the price to drop as the competition intensified among the various larger dealers.

    Felt a bit silly, but a bit scammed to be honest.

    Well I think that's a little silly, going all in on pm's, what happened to diversification? Not to mention I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on something that's already increased that much, I'd just say hey I missed the train and look for something else
