We miss seeing y’all as well but life since COVID has changed so much; culture, prices, travel, common courtesy, etc. That combined with the lack of silver in strikes and no $300s just makes the trip such a hassle compared to the rewards. We used to obtain 3-4 $300s every trip along with all the reds, blues, yellows, and clears we could carry. All of which we still have. I have never sold my silver, in any form, and even with current prices, I am still hording like Scrooge McDuck!

Regarding your beautiful LBs, we will probably never see these again and most assuredly at the low price you paid. For years, we all wanted silver to go up and settle at a profitable base ($5 to $15 to $65). But at $67.45, you almost have to take a loan just to get some decent silver these days!

Christie and I miss your wonderful company more than anything. Maybe January but still not sure.
