I'm with LBK. Worthless paper. Now if those were silver dollars, 12 dollars ought to buy the rifle. And of course, one silver dollar would buy about 11 gallons of gas!
last time I checked silver won't keep you warm at night or put food on your table, etc etc etc. Its as worthless as the paper in my book.
But its more cost efficient to store silver than keep a warm fat good cook. GW
