Yeah it's kind of sad to not know what happened to our characters of the past.

Yes, I saw that thread the other day. Apparently industrial demand for silver is high and junk silver is selling at a discount due to refiner backlog? I guess the lesson is if you're going to buy silver, don't buy the "junk" silver by the pound, stick with pure coins/bars.
Smelting (purification) is more costly than melting - and there's much demand for pure silver bars to be delivered asap (as many dump excess dollars into COMEX to take physical delivery of gold/silver).

Gold/Silver ratio 60.

Those that swapped gold for silver when GSR was 90 might swap back again and end up with 50% more gold.
