Loading ...I’m sorry to hear about the robberies you have been thru decades ago. Car stereos too. I remember those days. It never got bad around me, I live in a small town like Mayberry. Everybody knows everybody, and only two square miles, and about 28 cops. Plus the bad guys can’t get away with much these days because there are cameras all over the place.
The first time I noticed the Silver game was in the ’70s. Every day I went to the coffee shop next door to where I was working to eat and read the paper. I started seeing these full page adds, WANTED SILVER COINS paying three times face. As time went on the number kept rising to 5 7 9 and 12 times face.
There were plenty of redemption stores around, people were lined outside waiting to get in. My friend and I had a van and would approach people on line and offer to buy from them the same dealer price, in the van. Then we had newspaper adds selling them higher. It was interesting talking to the buyers.
I found out later all the silver etc was going to the docks in Manhattan and shipped overseas.
