$30 to $42 each depends on condition I paid less. Cool to own, look at. I put mine in snap-together plastic cases. Mine are old, a lot of them 1880s, etc. https://sdbullion.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=morgan+silver+dollars
Even "in little plastic cases" kept in the kitchen which can get humid from cooking temps and a lot of use of the faucet and/or dishwasher likely means they rate as fair valued at around $20-30 a piece tops.
Yea I basically set $500 on fire last night and closed my short in the pre-market. Like I said above, I kept worrying I am going to wake up and another war broke out. The afternoon move was what I was trying to catch but was totally wrong but I would have closed that too. My goal ultimately is to trade the normal conditions and not get killed when totally wrong with events like this. Easy fold.
Ya know there was a horror show in the crude oil market I think it was April 20, 2020. Some trader was long (not a lot of contracts) at a great price. Problem was, It costs a ton to take delivery. Somebody wanted to make that point. So this one oil trader was the target. $WTIC swung negative (I think -$8). The guy with the contracts got crushed. He couldn't take delivery or sell them at that price. True story.
