Buying silver

They're easy to make but require a few weeks startup time. UNLESS you use

SILVER

as a sterilant. This has actually been tried on a large scale, in Russia I think, back in the day.



There are only 12 troy ounces in a troy pound. If the math is still bad, you're at the wrong retailer.

So I'm kinda liking the idea of buying some precious metals, like gold and silver, just to have on hand. I'm not a doomsday prepper, and I don't think our currencies are tanking or something and we'll need to rely on barter and precious materials for trade. But, it'd be nice to have some sweet pure silver coins. I could put them real cool like in my Pelican gun cases and the such. Why not? I have a ton of old silver coins, like pre-65 stuff, but I'd like that pure silver too.

Any advice? If you try to Google this kind of stuff you just get all the worst marketing ploys known to man. The US Mint website is way more expensive than everyone else, as far as I could tell. But please tell me if you know anywhere to buy pure silver at the best price! I don't care if it's a coin, bullion, scrap, etc. Just pure 99.9%.

It’s wise, especially nowadays, to have an underground vault in your home. They’re not all that expensive and no one can see where it’s located and unless you open up your mouth no one will know you have it… they come in all different sizes and shapes but it’s best to do it during new construction time… it’s not that difficult to have one installed in an existing slab. I highly recommend it, especially when you consider the value of what you’re going to be putting in there. If you keep assets in a bank vault or safety deposit box you are unable to touch it unless the bank lets you. Give that some thought.

Bury silver in the ground and retrieve it in 30 years so that you can sell it at future spot, which will likely be less than $25 nominal in future USD, assuming past is prologue.

it is all irrelevant to me…I was taking my stash out to an island on a very deep lake and I hit a log which sank the boat

I barely was able to make it back to shore , it was a total loss

Lake Crescent measured in at 624 feet deep
