Goldbacks?
Goldbacks? I’m a little cool on anything gold mostly since the price is so high it’s hard to find someone who can cash you out on a double eagle, for instance. But the smaller gold pieces, ten dollar, five dollar for example can trade as low as a hundred bucks. Even in that size range , tho, one has to watch for plated counterfeits, fakes, and they are still above the grocery bag range.
I don’t mind owning gold for the long term but It’s just not my favorite for SHTF stash. It’s not as easy to transact and even harder to store (unless you have your own rifle and safe).
