<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1956690, member: 38849&quot;]Think about what happens at the other end.&nbsp; Think about whether you want to be a stacker or a numismatist.&nbsp; You can&#039;t have it both ways.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most convenient PM for an emergency is, and will always be, the silver dime.&nbsp; And unlike rounds and bars, you don&#039;t have to convince a buyer (way down the line) that it&#039;s really silver.&nbsp; You are buying PM&#039;s for a 5 or 10 year holding period, through the hyperflation and anarchy that are coming.&nbsp; I cannot think of any reason to buy Eagles or other Mint products, due to the premium(s) built into the price.&nbsp; When the crunch comes, all those premiums will evaporate, and &quot;heavy&quot; silver (like 10 or 100 ounce bars) will probably trade at a significant discount, because only a tiny fraction of sellers will be able to &quot;make change&quot; for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stackers need to provide for their families first, which means food, water, and a means of protection.&nbsp; <u>The thing that will bring many families down</u> is prescription medicines, which at the peak, will be unavailable at any price, as production will simply STOP.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know the answer to this problem, and I don&#039;t see it discussed very often.&nbsp; Without my prescriptions, I would be dead in two weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver is so bulky and hard to store (roughly 65# per $1,000 face value) that you should diversify, buying both gold and silver, even though a good many folks think that silver will increase percentage-wise faster than gold, looking ahead, as the gold-silver ratio reverts toward its historical mean.&nbsp; Paper money may be virtually worthless; it&#039;s happened many times before, and will happen again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not 5 in 100 Americans believe as I do, or as you are beginning to believe.&nbsp; That&#039;s fine with me, and my heirs.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
