what if there is a nuclear war?

I agree. After the cataclysm, one would still need a hobby to make life somewhat enjoyable.

They'll get fused the **** together.........no longer a collecting commodity.

 

Actually, this is a relevant topic because academics have studied the likelihood of this doomsday scenario and place it above 20% for this century, from what I recall. Obviously, food and medicine would be a priority over silver and gold. Because in this scenario humans are likely to survive and reproduce, gold and silver would be used as currency among the (possibly few) survivors.

 

Think what the value will be of pre-nuclear war coinage at that time.

 

What about post-nuclear coins. They'll have a reverse
grading system based on how many nuke war rads a
coin is giving off. So rad1 will be the same as MS70
and rad70 will be glow-art. And people can stretch
the grade by claiming: "well actually, most of those
rads are just pre-nuke war global warming sun
rays, actually."

"Buy the coin not the rads."

 

That would never work.. there is not clear method of detecting artificial irradiation.

 

That would mess up the rad pop reports

 

I've decided to give up coin collecting, and am selling all my stuff for face on craigslist with blurry pictures and everything. FAlso, for all my fellow can collectors, I have started a new forum called "Cantalk".

Join today! (this is a joke btw in case you didn't figure that out by "I've")

 

Very funny.

 

Your trying to start a post nuclear war cold war between coin collectors and can
collectors.

(Gasp!) How'd you know?

 

Has anyone taken precautions in case of a nuclear attack?

 

Yes

I once posted here a government website link where you can buy (with an application and license) Plutonium coins (or rounds). The post is gone, the website is gone.... poof.

 

If it happens and I’m close enough to have to worry about it, I don’t necessarily want to survive. Then again, with a 20% chance of it happening, I’m not really concerned with preparing for it.

 

What about fakes like U238's plated with P244?

Did they really close the subways today?

 

Nope. Sandy was a goober cover story for black ops in Somalia.........

 

what subway? I have no idea what you speak of.

 

You saw it in Cloverfield.

 

that one was fake.
