[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1598586, member: 38849"]I've seen this argument over and over again in CT. Down the line, if you need silver to survive, who in the devil is going to "make change" for a 100oz bar??? It will represent $6000 or $7000 in "old" dollars. I buy only junk silver, preferably dimes and quarters. A 5x10 SDB will hold a $1000 bag, and that SDB costs me $35/year at the credit union; that's going up to $41 on January 1, but then should be stable for two or three years. Why would ANYBODY buy silver they can't conveniently USE??? If and when the crunch comes, NO ONE is going to pay a premium for ASEs; in fact, they might be discounted versus junk silver, as the denomination will be too large for everyday commerce and barter. Yes, they're pretty, and an album full is impressive; I have accumulated a few, but I'm not buying more or filling in the missing dates. Now, if you are a numismatist and admire and covet fancy silver, forget all this. My numismatic instincts only extend to cents and half cents, Hard Times and Civil War tokens, not to silver bullion.[/QUOTE]
