I remember those days well. I was driving to work up Richmond Ave, with the radio on and I heard $52 /oz Silver. Fun days. My friend and I were buying and selling silver coins.
People were lined up outside redemption stores. I had a travel van ad we would get people off the line come in the van and sell to us the bid. And we would sell retail in the newspaper and keep culling the choice stuff to keep.
I was doing business in the back of a store that had 8 branches. There was tons of silver back there, and three assault rifles. I asked…”Where is all this stuff going?”
Its going to docks Manhattan and going overseas. Europe and the rest of the world just keep taking from us. I’ve seen classic cars also my son sold, going away.
