Then even with this scenario silver always has a relation to gold, before 50:1, currently about 83:1. With Gold at $4k, that would put silver at around $50 an ounce. Hmmm I could live with that.
CoinWorld podcast did an interview with Beth Deisher about counterfeit coins including bullion coins. Their podcasts are free and always good. https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/cw_podcast.html
I listened to the entire presentation and though it was very interesting and informative about the efforts of the various agencies to put a stop to counterfeiting, it didn't provide any help at all in actually identifying counterfeit coins. As I said, it was interesting in itself, and informative about what the various agencies are doing.
@Derek2200, you can ship it to me. Storage without charge. But I have a habit of losing names and addresses . Steve
Here's another one. I like to use more than one, to sort of "cross-reference" the information. This one is CoinTrackers.com / You can get alerts sent to your phone or email, plus they have a lot of information about U.S. silver coins. A lot of business people use Kitco. livesilver.html Here's a scrap silver price calculator. Plug in the weight and fineness and it gives you the value in various monetary units. / Yeah, the link looks funny, but it works.
