I would like to discuss the aquisition and storage of precious metals
for when the SHTF BUT NOT FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES IN THE STOCK MARKET.

I will be cutting / pasting some posts from another forum shortly

Let's really make an effort to eventually have a goal of a step by step process, so keep this in mind when you post so this doesn't turn into a mayhem/potluck/collage type situation

For instsnce, If it is copy paste from somewhere or a long exposition, try to summarize what you think would be a viable process in an orderly fashion rather than just spewing stuff

So, with that said, I believe step 1 is that

When you buy silver you need to know the spot price.

The following web sites will give the spot price. www.kitco.com & www.goldcalculator.com

Maybe Look in the Yellow pages under either "gold" or "coins"

Walk in, Pay Cash, Take the sack of coins (or put them in your pocket) and WALK OUT.

IMHO, DO NOT buy if you can't touch it. Yes there are lots of good businesses out there, but there are also lots of crooks.

pre-1965 silver dimes and quarters are a good way to go from what I've heard

I don't know, this place looks pretty serious
