Buying online kinda wigs me out for some reason.
So far I’ve never had an issue with something going wrong on the shipping side. Monument metals is the quickest shipper IMO. these guys buy huge volume and can pass along savings and will not have their reputation goofed up by selling phony metals
fun to have a box with silver show up. Bigger purchases over 500 usually require a signature from most online dealers

I wonder, just how much silver, gold, or other precious metals are held in private hands awaiting the apocalypse?

I have some silver, but it's all been won as a prize in a charitable gaming endeavor. I sought them to reassure my kids when they were young that we were ready to kill a werewolf, if one were to show up unannounced. Most of what I have are in the form of a 45 ACP round of ammo. To me it's mostly just a novelty.

Werewolves aside, I think lead would do me just fine in an apocalypse. Should get my family what we need just as well or better than silver.

The reason to do both.I don’t look at it as an investment but preservation. Pre-apocalypse of coarse

The retailers and MInt went crazy on pricing when the pandemic hit. I see now you can buy both gold and silver at a little over market , Maybe Costco getting into it made a difference who knows . I realize everyone needs to make a profit but it was out of control the last 4 years

2011 I bought an oz of gold for $1,800 and gave it to my dad for money I owed him. After my father and then my mother’s passing I bought it back for $1,200 in 2017, today it’s worth $2,200. Today $2,200 doesn‘t buy half of what $1,800 did in 2011, Saying gold keeps up with inflation is bs.

If they ever figure out how to get to the gold in the center of the planet, it should end up cheap as lead... Of course who knows if their predictions are accurate, but best guesses say there is A LOT of gold in the earth!

"It's difficult to determine the exact amount of gold in the Earth's core, as it's not directly observable. However, scientists estimate that the Earth's core contains approximately 1.6 quadrillion tons of gold. "

Federal reserve needs to buy up ounces of gold. Then print money backed by that gold. They should never be allowed to print more gold backed dollars than they have ounces to account for.
