Silver – My Preferred Precious Metal

There are many fundamental reasons that support my silver stacking addiction.

To demonstrate why, I intend to have a full compilation of articles and speculations someday @ http://www.silverting.com – but for now, enjoy this short read which was posted at the Kitco Forums (source):

Jason Hommel has said that “A day’s wage used to be a silver dime. 2000 years ago in Rome, a silver denarius was a day’s wage, and that coin was about the size of a silver dime, too. Even as recently as 100 years ago, a silver dime was a day’s wage… If the world returns to using silver as money, that silver dime might be worth about $150 or more–which is what a day’s wage is in U.S. dollars today.”

However, I figure it this way. Considering that a silver dime or denarius was a day’s wage for unskilled labor in a pre-mechanized society, Jason’s numbers are suspect at best. His numbers would require silver at over $2,000 per oz, something I consider highly unlikely.

It might be better to compare Jason’s “days wage” to today’s minimum wage, about $60 per eight-hour day. But even this is probably too high for a fair historical comparison. So instead of imagining a silver dime as the daily wage, let’s take a 25¢ piece. In practical terms that means a cashier at Wal-mart is making make 2.5 times as much as a farmhand did 100 years ago. Maybe over-compensated, but probably more accurate considering technology and changed standards of living.

Now, that means a silver quarter would be worth $60, making silver about $336 per oz. To be honest, I would be tickled pink for a even a silver half-dollar to be a day’s wage (silver $168oz). And I would not complain if we topped out with a single silver dollar worth a day’s work (silver at $84oz), although I expect that in the end the POS will make something between a quarter and a half-dollar = a day’s wage.
