The silver shortage will happen. $1000 oz silver has been my prediction for about 6 to 7 yrs. When this happens each junk silver dime should be worth about $100 ea. Pre 1964 dimes or junk silver is a good buy. Recognized as money and small payment form of silver. We pay $1000 oz silver today for some Chinese coins. When bullion spikes up to that level then Chinese silver coins will become unaffordable. When that happens I will join NGC & PCGS to grade some of my raw coins. Until then, I plan to accumulate as much as possible. The upcoming silver shortage is a no brainer. It will happen and the ability to manipulate the price will come to an end. Buy Chinese silver.............
