I tried to make a thread and upload a 700 year silver chart, but I could not upload. So supporting your post, here is another’s chart to check out: https://www.marketcalls.in/commodities/650-years-of-historical-silver-chart.html (click on chart to see extra details)____ Silver goes up and down depending upon supply and demand. Federal Reserve Notes are a distortion (they are not Dollars because a dollar defined in the 1792 Coinage Act set the dollar at 371 and 4/16 grains of pure silver https://www.usmint.gov/learn/history/historical-documents/coinage-act-of-april-2-1792). The gold to silver ratio shows how silver goes up and down in value, and versus products like a business suit, silver goes up and down. $3 for a business suit in 1929, or 3 silver dollars. Inflated cost of today’s money spent back then, it would have taken $41 in 1929, or 41 silver dollars. So about a 12x difference of how much 3 silver dollars could purchase back then compared to today. https://vintagedancer.com/1920s/advice-for-mens-1920s-clothing-plan/. Silver is going somewhere!
