I’m tempted to say “half” but it’s never that simple. I would guess the gov’t pays the designer once for each design. I doubt the prep costs are...
“Illusions” is the proper description. Was there ever any real belief that a computerized currency could provide those? I’m not sure that cash can...
Grandma?!? I thought that was a hockey player. No wonder nobody in Victoria would answer my question as to which hockey player that was on all...
I’ll check out the 10-ouncers, thanks for that. I’d be 98 in 2049 so a firing squad won’t be needed, a hard sneeze would do me.
What an incredible thread. Some of the world coins make our U.S. coinage look a bit unimaginative. I never realized that Queen Victoria was not...
BTW @King of Ants, I expect post-apocalyptic goats to cost at least 5 oz. of silver due mutation increasing the animal’s size. The benefits of...
I just added some 2018 Silver Maples to my stack. They are beautiful coins and I also like the anti-counterfeit device. When I picked them up I...

Very good and necessary information, especially for new mismatists. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I’m sure I’ll be re-reading this...

The State of California has recommended prepping for reasons losthomer already noted. Not knowing any full blown preppers I won’t call them names....
I'm new to CT but, above, I wrote the little I think I know about buying silver or gold. The fact that you separate peppers from rational folks...
I never wrote I’d survive. Nor did I mention “end times” or any other religious fantasies. Delusion is where you imagine it is, I guess.
I agree that PMs will be less useful during the chaotic phase of the Apocalypse but isn't that why god invented guns? After the herd gets thinned,...
I see you've thought this through, longnine009. I will start a side stack of 3/8" spiral steel corset boning, taking advantage of Black Friday deals.
They have a couple silver rounds that interest me but I've not heard of them before. Are they reputable? Easy to do business with? I appreciate...
Finally, a thread to exercise my paranoia! Artificial toning? I didn’t know such a thing existed. My coins of choice are Morgan’s and...
