<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1646392, member: 38849&quot;]A forger, or a jeweler, or a Chinese bucket shop, can mark ANYTHING .999 silver.&nbsp; And there will be a great incentive for them to do so.&nbsp; You might find a bar or round with some off-metal inside, but not an old U.S. dime or quarter.&nbsp; Finally, when SHTF, you will be dealing with a lot more farmers, re-loaders, mechanics, and people WHO KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING than you will with precious metal dealers or coin shops (who, after all, can only pay you with depreciating Federal Reserve notes).</p><p><br /></p><p>The final consideration is &quot;making change&quot; -- which is easier, a &quot;maybe-so&quot; bar or round (or even an ASE), or a silver dime with 1/14th (one fourteenth = 0.072 vs. 1.000) as much silver content?&nbsp; Gold and silver are the MONEY you don&#039;t have to apologize for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
