Much good advice here; pre 64 dimes by the bag every time we get a little “ahead money” some rounds and bars; silver dollars are also good as an investment with a true real definable trade value. It was during the dark and bleak days of early 2009; and the 2nd Great Depression was in full swing; 1 in every 7 houses in the country was somewhere in the forclouser process; anyhow I had built quite a collection of 1930s-40 quarters ; even selling them at spot price which was way over what I’d payed for them, payed property taxes and bought groceries and filled both vehicles and several cans of gas and had the $200 bucks for daughters dance class and recital, and a bit of pocket money, the ship I sold to made a mint but we were in a bind and we don’t beg borrow or steal.
