Why We Could See $250 Silver Before It's All Said and Done

I have been following and investing in silver and gold since i was 25 (2010), which got me quite excited followed by very annoyed/distraught. I have been reading articles, predictions, and charts since, and I may be wrong, but i cannot recall ever reading any predictions or articles that say anything except that silver/gold are going to rise higher. I remember talking to people from stone street financial, and big wigs at the chase building in bethesda md who, back in 2010/2011, said that i was doing exactly what i should have been, and to keep buying because silver would hit $100/oz by 2012. I ended up having some financial issues around sept 2016, and needed the money. I called different pawn shops who were offering me almost nothing, then a coin shop who at least wasnt going to melt my historic coins down to scrap. I ended up going to the coin shop with ten lbs give or take of silver (mostly 90% dimes, quarters, halves, dollars, and eagles, and had maybe a pound of bars. I was paid 1100.00. Terrible, right? Anyway, i have just gotten back into it, and have seen that many of the coins i used to have that i saw as just silver, had a substantial numismatic value added to them, which i dont hear much about on any of the emails i receive from you guys. Why is that? Had i gotten some of the 10lbs of silver coins graded (some were in unbelievable condition) i could have held on to them, or sold them for the premium that they bring. Just a thought, and a question…
