Junk silver for SHTF.
Gold for store of wealth, I stack maple leafs. And what happens when the some ones want to collect on the 23T our swamp creatures have us in debt. Started stacking back at $750 on the gold but never looked at it as an investment. I is insurance for when they come after the "prettier than money in the bank". Best caveman

Yeah if you want to sort through a billion posts looking for a simple majority opinion of one particular area of the subject. I think it's a pretty straightforward question and poll, was trying to keep it a little more focused that the 4,254 tangents the other thread goes off on.

I like - and have - both, but silver is terribly UNDERVALUED right now, so I'M buying silver, and would recommend others to do the same.
Junk (circulated) silver coins can be had at any coin shop, and many pawn shops. Develop a good relationship with the staff/owners, and you might even catch a further break on pricing.

The article link I posted above talked about gold vs silver. If you read it, you will see that the market doesn't value silver as a bullion or currency, but rather as an industrial metal used in manufacturing.
You should strongly consider that point if you are buying precious metals as an investment or as a hedge. Most people only buy silver because its affordable and they can buy a lot of it, and they feel good looking at all those bars and coins in their safe instead of just a few gold coins. |

21,000,000,000,000 in debt and climbing is not sustainable. I was an *** and sold off my silver when I had unexpected bills 4 years ago. I am buying 10 silver eagles a month, with an occasional month of me buying 20. I have no grand visions of making a fortune when FIAT currency fails. I just want a few hundred coins to barter if needed. I would buy emergency food too. I have been buying a case at the local Mormon food distribution center about once every two months too. Nothing extreme, just adding a little here and a little there over time.

I can walk into the local pawn shop this morning and get $1 over spot for my BU silver eagles. Cash, no questions asked. I would think most stackers have a similar outlet. I'm not sure how it could be any easier to move than that... Any silver I've seen for sale at spot on the marketplace here at CalGuns gets snapped up before I can even PM the seller.

Another couple of places I tried to unload 100 oz of silver at wouldn't even take it at all, as they said they were already over inventoried on silver. |

BU Silver Eagles are much easier to move than bar silver...

Bar/round silver sells easily at spot on Craigslist guys. This about it, where can you BUY silver at spot? You pretty much can't, so it sells pretty quick on CL and on marketplaces like here. Also, although I am not a Facebook user I hear there are many silver trading groups on there as well.
They usually will for BU Eagles. Any other silver he wants to give me spot less 50 cents to a dollar.

Anybody that deals in bullion has likely never lived in a rough area or dealt with rough people. Go ahead & walk into that shady pawn shop with a bar or two & see if you live long enough to make it home. And if you make it home, better make darned sure you weren't followed. And if you weren't followed, better make sure you never visit the same shop twice. Somebody will be waiting there.

Gold can be a fun and safe exercise in buy low / sell high. Never going to crash like some stocks. And hard for the gov to get an income tax cut out of cash sales <$10K. My tax returns for last year had 50 pages of reporting for capital gains on stock sales vs my Au sales zero pages.

I haven't been in the game long enough to experience it... You certainly can't play it like a day trader like I was doing with Ford stock in 2009, at least not with physical PM's. Maybe that's a good thing, we'll see. So far there's not much of a gambler's rush that's for sure but it's easy to "set it and forget it" and I'm not losing sleep or hair over it.

I have a little bit of everything; I recently discovered the constitutional silver (commonly called the 90% silver) coins; IE 1964 and older halves, quarters and dimes.
It is usually the cheapest over spot if you can get it and will always have the value of the coins. It's hard currency if it has to be, but is also silver. Yes...I do gold as well.

Gold (and to some extent) silver are the only historical mediums of exchange and transportable wealth. All paper (fiat) money is only as good as the country that issues it. Countries can and have devaluate their currencies as they wish. The US doesn’t openly devaluate the dollar, but by printing more dollars it essentially dilutes the dollar. The dollar is also kept stable by it status being the world currency. But this can change. Prior to WW2 the Pound Sterling was the was the worlds currencies. How ever when BG no longer had enough silver reserves to back the pound, the US dollar backed by gold replaced it. When Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, it still remained the worlds currency back by the US GNP. China is now amassing large quantities of gold. If they ever announce the Yuan is backed by gold, the dollar is in for a tough time. Investing in Gold or Silver requires you’re willing to endure volatility.
