<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1306919, member: 29012&quot;]I mostly agree with you on this, exceptions being that silver has anti-bacterial properties in case you can&#039;t homogenize milk properly, or don&#039;t have a reliable water source, or need something hard and shiny that you can melt for some MacGuyvering. How about being able to give a woman a real ring? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Survival requires procreation after all.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But yes, metals don&#039;t really come into play relative to a doomsday scenario until and unless after things settle down and new structures begin to take form in society. It is here when precious metals would be of considerable value, but you have to be able to get there.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are other scenarios that could cause precious metals to climb in value/purchase power too that don&#039;t necessarily involve duress, but regardless I like to know that whatever happens it&#039;s not a cause of worry for me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;As to the OP&#039;s question, I have 90% bullion since that&#039;s what I know best. With junk silver you have to deal with not knowing the precise content due to wear, needing to know the metal ratios which isn&#039;t a big deal, but it doesn&#039;t seem realistic to expect everybody else to know that. Plus any numismatic value is essentially irrelevant. Also if you were to melt junk (which is illegal mind you) then you basically have sterling silver, that can be a pro or a con depending, but it&#039;s easier to add copper than remove it anyway.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also have my fair share off lead. It&#039;s actually significantly cheaper than when the new president came into office, because at the time a lot of people were concerned about the 2nd Amendment. If you are in the market right now is a great time to buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
