Seems like if one is not investment-diversified yet, this current situation is a wake up call to be.
I have been thinking about putting some money in gold/silver, but have no clue on which are trustworthy resources to look into/purchase.
Bars vs coins? seems coins retain better value
silver is less volatile, but cheaper in good performing markets.
Any insight gentlemen?

Bingo ! Junk silver coins are good too, back when they actually used silver in the coins
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Yep, I knew about the eagles, I've read buffalo coins too
Any sites you would recommend, for buy-store?
How does one sell them if need be?
Thanks

Good luck, dealers are out of inventory. The going price is on silver is about double the spot price.
You may get lucky but the window is closing fast.
The time to stock up was a couple weeks ago

Lead coins.

I usually buy silver a couple of times a year. Now, forget it. All the big players are charging outrageous fees above spot if you buy. The other day APMEX was charging $9 over spot for silver eagles.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Supply and demand is returning to the market.
The paper manipulators will lose a grip very soon. The price will be going much higher

May be too late to snatch some up, as well. These folks have been sold out of all gold and silver inventory on hand for a week now. https://www.texmetals.com/They have some more metal coming, though. This is one of the nations biggest precious metal companies too..

Sponx: I have a fair amount of "silver" dimes - this for the unlikely event of our economy/dollar collapsing.
If I never need a "silver" dime to buy a loaf of bread or gallon of gas or a box of 22 shells then no loss - I'll just sell them when my end is near and give the proceeds to my heirs.
Gold bars (and gold coins!) may be harder to garner bread and gas with?

Investing in lead and brass now will make it easier to acquire gold and silver later. If you're already holding precious metals, then the lead and brass becomes even more valuable!

Buy more lead! Casting bullets is a good way to eat up some time while waiting for this crap to blow over...
