Silver or Gold bullion for survival preps? Should I buy a few gold bullion coins or a lot of silver bullion coins for survival preps? Any articles written about this? What are your opinions?

Re: Silver or Gold bullion for survival preps? Depends on your perceived needs for Survival PMs. If you think you may be able to barter with it, Silver may be a better choice. If you are just looking to preserve your wealth for a brighter day after things start to return to a more normal status, Gold works well for its size. I'd recommend both. I think Franklin Sanders has a pretty good article on this... Yep, here it is. http://the-moneychanger.com/commandments.phtml

Re: Silver or Gold bullion for survival preps? 1/10th or 1/4 oz gold eagles pack a lot of buying power into a small space. Maybe consider a money belt or a garment concealment place. Canada Silver Maples are .9999 pure and can be used to make colloidal silver, you can split one with a knife edge. 90% US silver coins are durable, cheap and recognizable. Silver is a decent play to improve its ratio to gold right now. Maybe go with silver eagles and a few maple leaves, then plan to trade into gold as the spread declines. See what you pay the least amount of premium for on buy-in, and what your dealer will credit you for on a trade situation, buy accordingly. 40% silver, Kennedy halves, are always one of the safest buys because of their higher intrinsic value compared to 90% coins.

I prefer to buy from www.apmex.com for large orders........otherwise I just quietly accumulate here & there from coin shows, online deals, and local antique shops. Gold is a bit tougher to find at a good deal locally. I agree with storing 1/10th through 1/4oz gold. There are quite a lot of European coins available too in 1/5th +/- as in the 20-francs, 20-lire, 20-corona, etc. Generally those 1/5th oz coins are 0.1867 (0.1960 for the corona). Hope that's not too confusing. :wink:

You should first have the means to protect your preps, guns and ammo, then food, pms after.
