a good way to buy silver without as much worry of getting ripped off, is to buy bags of so-called “junk” silver, that is, U.S. silver coins no longer in circulation that have no collector value ... one bag is equal to $1000.00 face value of the coins in the bag, there are also half bags and quarter bags ... these bags are heavily traded and have a repetitively thin price differential between buy and sell prices ...

the standardized silver content of U.S. coinage also has the advantage of being able to be useful in commerce should the shit totally hit the fan ...

The great thing about so-called junk silver is the ability to use it in real world transactions. Is hard to break off a $10 or $15 chunk of a 100 oz bar.

The problem is always gonna be how to get value for your silver...too many folks want a premium for it, even the junk.

Where do I get those bags of junk silver coins? I’d like to add silver to my portfolio of lead, brass and copper.
