I've heard you can apparently buy a house with 10 silver coins, the original deed, 2 witnesses present and 2 secretaries present is this true?

Yes, this is true. Provided the seller is a dumb dumb who will accept 10 silver coins (~$400 USD) for a house while 4 of their friends watch in awe.

It's likely worse than that, even. "Silver coins" in sovcit often mean silver in color, i.e. quarters.

Dude wants a house for $2.50.

There are silver content quarters, pre 1964 I think? These are the ones they use, or attempt to use because it's all bullshit anyway.

The thinking is that there's real value in silver. The ones made today aren't actually worth thier face value in materials.

Isnt gonna get a house, but i like the sentiment that my physical money has real physical value.

Course. We need to hasten the apocalypse, so why not just make up numbers in the cloud instead

I thought you were mathing wrong since I've rarely seen it above $25 (not that I've checked in a loooong time) so I looked up the current spot price. Damn, nearly at $40US/ozt.

... I should sell some of these silver coins I inherited.

But what about one "original deed"?
