Hawkeye,
Don't get into stocks ....you do not have the mental acuity. I’ll turn in my Series 70 immediately. What is a Series 70?

Typing while driving. LOL Understandable, but no need to turn in your Series 7. It expired 2 years after your U5 was filed.

The gold and silver I buy is a hobby. I buy Old Double Eagles and Morgan Silver Dollars, with dates in the 1800's. I just love the history with these coins. Who owned them, were they ever taken in a robbery, used in an old west poker game by Doc. Holliday. They go well with the old Colt SAA revolvers I have and cheaper than the new Gold Eagles made today. The large gold coins are the $20 Double Eagles, mid size are $10 coins and the small are $5. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/h3GZxfb.jpg)

This is the best gold post ever made, pure LARP.

For those seriously thinking of buying precious metals, this web site is useful. This link is for junk (pre-64 non-numismatic coins) silver. There are categories other metals and types. https://findbullionprices.com/p/90-junk-silver-coins-100-face-value-bag/

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

You mean pre-65, of course. Pre-64 is for Winchester rifles.

My Wife and I have been talking about this exact thing. She made some good points about buying gold and silver. What happens when the [bleep] hits the fan? People will want food, water, guns, ammo, ALCOHOL, medical supplies, propane, batteries etc etc. As an example in the Book of ELI with Denzel Washington he needed a charge for his battery.
I understand this is EXTREME but in a TRUE SHTF situation.Gold and silver will get you something but who knows what?
I believe it was Joseph in the Old Testament of the Bible when the famine started he took all the peoples money for food, then when the money was gone he took their animals when that was all taken it was their land. Anything to keep themselves ALIVE. I don't believe GOLD and precious metals will be all that important in an TEOTWAWKI situation.

Not sure we'll get there here in the US in my lifetime. Maybe... That said I was in Zim twice during their hyperinflation. US Dollars and Rand were the preferred trading medium. Never had anyone mention gold/silver. Swiss Francs? Bribing border guards might be it's best use.

I don't own the metals for an investment. I own them as a means of exchange if and when the SHTF.
I think it's prudent to have something that has historically carried value if "normal society" breaks down.
If it never does, what am I out? What I have bought in the past is worth a hell of a lot more than I paid for it.
That doesn't mean that that I ignore the other important things like food, water, guns, ammo etc....
They are not mutually exclusive.
BTW, if the SHTF and you come to my place and want to buy some of my beans and flour what are you going to use to pay for it? I already have a shovel...

The owning gold & silvers purpose in a survival shtf situation is to preserve wealth. You better have your beans, rice and ammo before thinking about buying gold & silver. The goal is to survive and come out the other side in a strong financial position. So the argument you can't eat gold is flat stupid.... and there is a very good chance silver will buy you necessities in a shtf situation
