Not such a big deal, 1434% over 6 score years, now is it?<br /><br />But the 1964 Washington dime is worth the same, and that is only 50 years hence. Now <a href="http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm" rel="nofollow">according to the BLS</a>, a 1964 dime should be worth only $75 cents now, if we go by the CPI...<br /><br />But hey, maybe gold is overpriced. I dunno, but if you plug 1913 into the same year of that BLS, CPI calculator, then think that dime is worth $2.36...<br /><br />Silver values sure do fluctuate depending on what segment of history you're looking at, don't they, Lucky 'ol Leo?thimscoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289986829453164335noreply@blogger.com
