:)) I give out silver dollars to all my kids and grandkids all the time. One doesnt even get my attention. Make it a hundred of them at a time big spender and then we can talk turkey. :ymcowboy:

When you say "silver dollars", are you referring to the American Silver Eagles or the old school Ikes?

Eagles my man. When they were cheap I loaded up on them. Those rounds just arent as pretty.

Amen to that! I just ordered up some eagles that were offered at a discount to premium.... good stuff, that. Those Maple Leafs aren't too bad, either. Occasionally I buy a few rounds, but I'm very very picky about those.

The Maples tend to get milk spots, but they're less expensive and have an ever-so-slight purity advantage over the Eagles. Plus, their face value is higher, if it ever comes to that.

Meili,
Thank you for your support.

Good luck to all the participants. We'll know in about 28 hours who our winner is. There will be 10 more weekly price-guessing contests after this.

haha plus if you ever want to escape to Canada and have a few loonies laying around... ;)

Haven't experienced the milk spots yet... most of mine came sealed in plastic. The one that "escaped" ended up in an AirTite capsule almost immediately.

Okay, tried everything I could to post a table here and failed. So for now, here's the link to the google doc. Let me know if it's not working.

And if anyone knows how to post a table here, let me know.

Not me, not yet. Too many people on LDSFF need to buy more shiny before the price rises.

Ah, and I was shooting for the Ask price, not the Bid.... good to know going forward. If it HAD been Ask price and I had been just an hour and change earlier.... For the record, I said $18.05! And I quote the Ask because that's what I'd be paying to buy it.

:(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((

If you'll check the silver contest announcement thread ( viewtopic.php?f=39&t=45298#p777745 ), you'll see where I mentioned that we would use the Kitco price shown here: http://www.kitco.com/kitco-gold-index.html

Please play again next week.

The close is the last price a trade executed. That's going to be the bid price.

Separatist is our winner. As found here: http://www.kitco.com/kitco-gold-index.html , the closing price this week is $17.90. Separatist was only 8 cents away. Mirkwood was a close 2nd at 10 cents off. Let's make another rule that says anybody who comes in 2nd three times without a 1st place win will also receive a free ounce of silver.

Separatist, send me your mailing address via Private Message.

Silver Contest: Week 2 (of 11) starts Monday, 24Apr2017.

I humbly accept. And in the spirit of OI, I will bow out the remaining weeks. I will not even allow my alter ego to participate.

Thanks for the silver, Silver.

And in the spirit of tithing in kind, I fully expect your very best to be sent.... ;)

I will PM you my address.

Hey, I know all about your alter ego (and just between us, you're the smarter of the two). Wink, wink.

Don't worry about a thing. You will get the best ounce I can send you, a beautiful specimen instantly recognized around the world.

Quit your griping. I figure you got plenty of gold when you killed half the Trojan army.

Congrats Separatist! :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

And thank you again Silver for this fun contest and your generous prizes! :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Thank you for your kind words. This is already immensely gratifying. Little ol' me is actually cornering the silver (giveaway) market on an international website. Ha!
