If it only costs 800 bucks to buy a farm back in the day... that's only a max of 800 Troy ounces of silver, yeah? Assuming a value of $12 per Troy ounce that's less than $10k total value. Seems off.
Although silver was $12 a few months ago it is now threatening $30... but even at that price the 800 Troy Ounces of silver is only worth $24,000 today.
That's why you're lucky if you can find a farm under $800,000 nowadays.
Seems like the numbers are off. Just sayin.
Also I have a handful of old Morgan and Liberty dollars from back in the day.
Funny how my coin collection from childhood's real value is simply the silver contained therein.
I used to think it was from being an old antique. Nope.
