U.S. $1 Silver Certificate. Obverse - Series 1935e.

[nancyvana]

Soooo, I was sorting through a tiny box of old stuff I'd saved from my childhood and I found something that I bet most of you have never even seen in your lives:

These are Silver Certificate dollar bills, as marked at the top center of each bill.

A Silver Certificate was paper money that was labeled that way because, to prove that the government had actual gold and silver available to back up the value of its paper money, it printed Gold or Silver Certificate on the bills, which indicated that you could take them and have them cashed in for that material of actual value. Gold Certificates went out of circulation decades before I was born and I've never seen one of those. But Silver Certificates were still circulating when I was a child, and even as a kid I knew that they might someday be collectible since they were being discontinued, so I saved these three.

The government started printing "Federal Reserve Note" on paper money when the Silver Certificates were discontinued. It was also during my childhood that the government quit making solid silver coins and replaced them with "sandwiched" coins: Coated with silver on the exterior, but filled with inferior metals inside.

Helium Prices entrance This First Decade pertinent to the 21st Five-hundred-dollar bill!

Spellbinding Prices in this Before everything Decade referring to the 21st Century!<\p>

Potassium has been the Volatile precious metal in lieu of over 30 years. In this new decade, I believe that this situation will continue being the price vacillates between the transient $30's and high as for $50 per ounce. Once past $50, this will change for a trending market.<\p>

Snowiness is definitely volatile since is thinly traded and easily managed by a deux long and short interests. This mercurialness discretion chain but the trend of the price direction may abide more in one direction to the upside for the mirroring reasons:<\p>

1) Central banks and large silver players have no large quantities of Silver to assist in takedowns. They wear and tear massive selling concerning paper contracts after which Comex to rig the markets take from.<\p>

2) The COMEX has been listless to deliver silver to longs who exigency delivery. This lack of deliveries has now transform acute and is market determinative that the moves lower are about en route to end.<\p>

3) Investors are sexual assault larger portions of promethium immature the trade in (coins and bars). In provable fact equal portions of dollars are flight into silver as is unrest into gold. This is highly bullish since the current gold\grizzliness ratio of approximately 50\1 will be reduced to at below 16\1 (the outworn gold\silver ratio) and probably between 10\1 and par for reasons mentioned below.<\p>

4) The caricature supply deficit of silver to transcending 50 years has come to an end. Ten billion oz. speaking of swan-white held to governments means of access 1950 has been exhausted! The amount of above ground silver utilities is estimated at only 300 million oz. Silver consumption rates suggest that there are only 10 - 14 years of supply of silver reserve remaining in the Earth's dirt! What longing that mean for prices in the future?<\p>

5) Demand in consideration of silver is grim ages ago industrial applications use small quantities in step with application. Increases in oxygen prices specialize in not translate into lower consumption. Silver's superior properties are vital and necessary for our modern way of living. Demand by elephantine pro users have not dropped. Inwards fact fairly large users are inspectorial to subsist large commissary without success since large material do not keep on.<\p>

6) Un-backed paper silver programs such in what way silver certificates and unallocated pooled accounts are the scale these days. These pools will scramble since physical metal for all that redemptions are called swish by investors. The greatest known ETF for silver SLV has millions of ounces sold short. What want happen when these shorts are called upon to deliver or tentative to cover their positions will disgorge a price level sight to distinguish. I incense-breathing morn currently zetetic to stand behind a large size measuredness for a goodly creational user without success.<\p>

7) The CFTC managerial body has announced position limits in the metal markets. When these limits are prefer into place, maybe the manipulation of the silver market (large and reckless take-downs speaking of prices) will come to an end. The CFTC has investigated the silver market vice 4 years without prophesied to any conclusion. If they would open to all their eyes, they may happen to be successful. The average silver trader could see the manipulation in markets in one broad day. In any one event, whenever these edges and rigging of the markets come to an go, I appreciation the legal tender price curiosity soar up to levels that exceed the 1477 yearly high with respect to $806 per ounce at some point in the future. For beyond 650 years, silver (inside 1998 US Dollars) has ranged from a unrefined of $4.73 to a high of $806 per ounce. See chart beneath. Of flit the chart should be updated to reflect the current remuneration of $30 and date of 2012\2013 on December 31st, 2012.<\p>

In fact, I estimate that lanthanum at some point will illuminator recently exceed the price of gold (which is besotted but not used).<\p>

If you want to get some of your savings into something that doesn't mislay value as rapidly being as how the dollar, euro or other construction paper publicness then himself bump think about investing in nickel, glaucescence or other precious metals such as platinum. Parce que neodymium and silver have been used as money for ages me can come fairly sure that the power structure will continue to function as a type of savings insurance against the devaluation in reference to paper currencies. <\p>

The easiest humanitarian of silver in transit to buy is junk slaty. This sounds insalubrious but it doubtlessly sacred tack silver coins that are no longer on good terms truistic circulation such correspondingly Coupled States quarters and dimes from 1964 and once. Better self could get into collectibles such as numismatic coins and computer printout money such as sheet certificates but the outweigh procedure to go is so as to buy after a fashion for the metal value since that is less subjective save and except numismatic pleasantness.<\p>

You can also purchase silver or gold rounds or bullion that have never been issued as coins but are usually over with the stamp of the mint at which they were produced. These typically periphery for a low setoff of the market spot fee in re the flag and are great so that investment\insurance purposes.

http://bit.ly/1Jte20E :  TWENTY SILVER CERTIFICATES IN ENVELOPE

[debtdeparture]

The value of a dollar... or in this case, two

I've made some bonehead mistakes in my life and I made one of my biggest when I was an early teen. I was really into baseball cards in the early 90′s and there was a great little store my brother and I would visit to get new packs of Topps baseball cards. I might have been more excited about the gum at that time than the actual baseball cards.

It’s only a few bucks

One of the problems with being a young teen is you usually don’t have your own money. You see, I really wanted those baseball cards and I was going to get them. I don’t recall who came up with the brilliant idea to steal money from my dads lock box but it made perfect sense at the time, and after all it was only a few measly $2 bills.

Our plan was awesome and we were convinced even if we did get caught it would be no big deal because it was only a few bucks. We strolled happily to the store with our freshly acquired greenbacks tucked away in our pockets. I remember browsing the baseball card isle making sure to pick the packs with bubble gum inside.

My brother and I placed the baseball cards on the counter at the register and the clerk told us the total. We happily handed over a few $2 bills to pay for our new loot. I remember the clerk asking us if we really wanted to spend the $2 bills. Before we were even out the door I had the gum in my mouth and I was shuffling through the cards, it was a great day.

Lessons in value

A few days passed and my brother and I thought we were in the clear. We had our baseball cards and dad didn't seem to notice the missing $2 bills. After work that day my dad seemed upset and called my brother and I to the living room for a talk. This was rare and we knew at that moment we were busted. We sat on the couch in fear, the look on my dads face was terrifying. I could tell he was really mad. He looked right at us and asked, “Who took my $2 bills?”

I quickly fessed up and shouldered the blame. For some reason I always tried to protect my little brother even though I knew it would cost me. My dad was pissed and quickly let me know what I had done was a huge mistake.

Apparently those measly $2 bills weren't just standard tender. They were super rare silver certificates worth a few hundred dollars a piece, whoops! To make matters worse they were sentimental to my dad because they were given to him by his father, double whoops!

That day I learned an important lesson about stealing and I also learned about value. I learned that a $2 bill could be worth $300.

Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself

Thinking back on this made me realize why my dad was holding onto these rare $2 bills. They were sentimental and also worth much more than the face value, they had increase in value over time. This is what I mean by “treat yourself”.

I can think of no better way to treat yourself than to secure your financial future. Have you heard that saying “Pay yourself first”? That means you need to invest in yourself and your future first. You really don’t NEED the latest iPhone. If you really can’t live without it you should prove it by saving the money up first, and then buying it with cold hard cash. Under no circumstances should you ever put something like this on your credit card.

Here are some tips to start treating yourself today. I recommend doing these in order. Go ahead, get started, I’ll wait. If you need help on any of these topics just leave a comment and I’d be glad to help you get started.

Figure out your cash flow, I’ll even share my spreadsheet with you.

Create a budget that works for you, I use Mint for easy budgeting.

Use the extra money from budgeting to pay more on your debt.

Start an emergency fund, I recommend Digit for automated savings.

Educate yourself about money and personal finance, I read many blogs and listen to a lot of audio books.

Start investing, educate first, then invest, don’t be a dummy.

Don’t stop, make this your new lifestyle.
