SHTF Silver

[Grant H.]

Junk silver and small, marked (quality/weight) bullion for SHTF bartering.

ASE or larger bullion for wealth preservation across a currency change during SHTF type scenario.

As for ASE boxes, if they aren't anything special, just the "I bought 1 at a time" box and whatever, don't worry about it. If it's grading or collectors stuff, leave them as is.

As for junk silver, it's less common, but check your change when you pay with cash. Anything pre-64 is worth a hell of a lot more than the face value. I ate out a few weeks ago, and got a pre 64 quarter and dime back. Basically paid for me to have my meal.

The stuff I have is just standard ASEs but would like to slim them down. Just wondering if in a bartering system with silver if the certificates add any confirmation of their value to some people. I'm leaning towards ditching the boxes and putting them in tubes.
