buying bulk contemporary usa silver dollars? plus bulk usa gold coin questions 3/27/2017, 10:20:27 PM · 57 of 59 SteveH to All
I got some coins today, 3/27/2017
how did i do?
gold (s. african krugerrands)
spot $1254.80
1 oz. s.kr = $1286.12
$1286.12 @ 3 = $3858,36
silver (pre 1965 dimes)
90% $88.00 @ 13.54 XFACE
= $1192.52
total purchase, gold and silver = $5049.88
right now hiding in cubbyhole at home.
thinking if TSHTF, it will be very fast, no time to go to safe deposit box (?) so keep at least some in cubbyhole at home (not in gun safe where robbers can get via threatening hostage)
gun safe is mainly for ammo only
may do 2-5 more purchases, same or similar amounts
need: enough to get 3 people from SF bay to vancouver safely if and when TSHTF
estimated cost: $6000/person * 3 persons = $18000
end recap
distance san francisco to vancouver, driving = 947 miles
-> ~$6.33/mi estimated cost of travel, land, TSHTF
(note: i am guessing that this is a somewhat generous estimate and that actual cost for someone who is capable of walking at a slow pace is somewhat less in practice, though need to account for all river crossings which could be expensive since ferryboats would generally be needed if the bridges are blocked or destroyed)
gold spot price 1990: $400
gold spot price today: $1250
rough increase factor, 27 years: 3 (1200/400)
3**(1/27) = 0.0415
gold in world, 2011 181800 tons
http://www.numbersleuth.org/worlds-gold/
gold mined per year 2500 tons
http://onlygold.com/FAQ/Gold-Facts-And-Statistics.asp
gold in world, 1990 129000 tons
gold in world, 2017 196000 tons
world population 2017 7.5B
world population 1990 5.3B
http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#table-historical
increase in world pop = 7.5/5.3 = 1.415
increase in gold supply = 196/129 = 1.519
By positing the possibility of driving north, I would be gambling that “they” keep the main thoroughfares in some kind of working order since it would be a relatively straightforward source of revenue for locals.
good luck then, cause if we go down i think the rest of the world will go with us
sure, but it will be worse in the US than in some other countries due to the higher degree of multi-phucking-culturalism than in some other countries. see the difference now.
at least here i have a mutual support base with people i would die for and would die for me, anyplace else, not so much
moving in the middle of turmoil makes you even more of a stranger in a strange land
not knocking you, it’s just not something i would consider
I understand your reasoning. However, my path is not necessarily for everyone. I have family elsewhere.

If you are going to buy gold, make sure to get some smaller coins. In your scenario, there is not going to be a lot of change being made.
