Silver coins/rounds question

[rondog]

I've been trying to diversify my silver, I have about 50/50 between bars and rounds, thoughts? Am I on the right track? Also does anyone here have any experience with Silver Shot? Was just wondering what if any benefits would be to partially investing in this rather than actual coins/bars. Thanks

I've been poking my nose around in the silver world for several years, but I've gotta admit.....I've never heard of Silver Shot until now! Just did some Googling about it, and now I want some. In the event that silver would ever need to be traded for goods, currency, food, ammo, etc., that shot would be the perfect trading medium. It's just not identifiable for purity like bars, rounds and coins are, but a coin/PM dealer should be able to ID it very easily.

Save the 1 oz. and larger stuff for larger trades/needs, and use the shot for currency like the old miners used to use "gold dust". I like the idea!

That's exactly what I was thinking! I've been seeing more and more postings on various sites about the benefits of shot usage for bartering. Now does anyone happen to know of a reputable silver dealer in Colo that carries shot?
