Sending this to all you preppers':
First I got a FReep Mail today tell me that a fellow prepper went to the bank today to get some cash to have on hand mostly one's and quaters (This I recommend) the small the denomnations you us the less like someone is to rob you. It took the bank a good while to gather up the ones that they wanted, it turns out the banks are keeping only limited amounts of cash on hand.
The second Freep mail I go was asking about buying and keeping silver on hand for SHTF. I have only small experence with metals (Other that lead and brass)so I am puting their questions out to you.
Many preppers are buying silver and the price is now affordable for me-would you post my question to the group?
What are the best kinds to get?
I was thinking of mixing it up with a combination of 1oz bars & junk silver, but Im not sure if this is the right thing to do.
Funny thing I have used my prepper funds to buy thing to keep me and mine alive. I do have some trade goods, but very little in metals, but to show just how FReepers are equal opertunity 'bitchers' I have got a number of down right nasty post and Freep mail some accusing of being a Gold bug metals troll and I've gotten e-mails from gold bugs because I push preps over metal! Go figure!!
Good!
Now you need to work on its liquidity by diversifying into small silver coins.
US junk silver coinage is rapidly disappearing from the market. When its all gone, specially minted bullion coins like the silver maple, and silver philharmonic will disappear next. (and so on...)
Toilet paper, now there's a commodity during any SHTF scenario.
It’s not nice to mock Obama’s sons!
the good news is - he isn’t going to make it to the foothills of West Virginia with an armload of Charmin

OK here ya go
this one is making me rethink my survival strategy
See posts 17 and 54. ;-)
Armageddon is only for the lost.
We need only worry about Satan’s wrath, not God’s wrath.
Satan’s wrath will end the official use of cash, world wide.
If you are a part of YHVH’s obedient “watchers,” even that is of no concern, because we will be taken to the place prepared in the desert.
Those that have been lax in that area will have to deal with the loss of cash, and that is where precious metals come in, but ultimately they will have to die refusing the mark (some kind of digital cash) to save their eternal souls.
Much of this “prepping” idea is contra-biblical.
Be sure to offload all your stuff, then.
the ratio now doesn’t matter as much for when the time comes, a single gold coin will convert into multiple silver coins (like breaking a hundred dollar bill into 20x $5)
interesting. please post a link to it if you find it (and ping me as well)
thx
Thanks. I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to break an 0.1 ounce gold coin.
Yes, easily recognisable and always worth at least ten cents. I have looked through ny change for any silver, rarely find it anymore.
I like APMEX.
They don’t insure them for the metal value.
1942-1945 war nickels contained 35% silver, but otherwise the Buffalo and Jefferson nickels tend to be 75% copper, 25% nickel. I assume you meant quarters and dimes.
Doesn’t much matter what I do with my stuff.
bump to read in morning.
Correction, WE are so screwed.
I am so screwed.
Its never too late to get un-screwed!
