What Would You Do With a Pure Silver Coin?

[Sunstone]

What would you do
With a pure silver coin?

Would you hide it in a bank?
Throw it against a tank?
Give it up in thanks?
Offer it to Tom Hanks?
Send it to a Yank?
Trade it for a franc?

What would you do
With a pure silver coin?

I have a few silver coins, but i do not think any of them are Pure most are stirling standard which is ....good... I have a half dollar but I do not know what standard they used.
pure silver anything would be rare and over subject to wear.

what do I do with them? Nothing at all.......they just sit there getting slightly more valuable every day.

Make anti-werewolf bullets. A low risk sure, but better safe than sorry.

I bought several when the price was $8.
Now they are worth $24.

The only reason to have them is the printed value and knowing they are made of 99% silver.

Older coins in circulation are not always pure.
The common dollar of the seventies was made to endure wear and tear.
The silver content is about 75%

So do you keep them for the element?
Or keep them for the dollar value?

I think they might hold value better than paper money.
Should the economy fail dollar values won't mean much.

The stamped coin will then make a comeback.....at higher values.
The savy among us will note the dated stamp.

I have a Franklin half-dollar, it isn't 100% silver or anything, but it is a higher percentage than what they have nowadays. It's worth about $2.00 or so.

I keep it on display for sentimental reasons.

Go to the House of Black and White in Braavos, present my coin and say 'Valar Morgulis'

Oh wait, that was an iron coin
