    Everyone recognizes dimes, sure, but they are often shocked to learn that the older ones contain silver. Most recognize them as being just .10 in purchasing power, and slow to accept they are actually worth more. This is a problem I have consistantly come across. That is not the case with silver eagles.

      in shtf/ barter, every transaction depends on the 2 parties, so claims that most transactions defacto will be with past forms of money, ie silver, is illogical. it's just basically silver pumping, hoping and wishing, and paroting. even amongst the stackers, everything will be negotiated. it's basically why government and legal tender with coinage exists.

    • @viperracing2889
      @viperracing2889 Рік тому

      @@Golden.Silver.Conquistador Good point. And the people who owns the goods that you so desperately need, if they do accept silver, has alot of leverage over you. It's unlikely that you will get what silver "should be worth" in such a scenario.
      Perhaps prepping makes more sense if you believe there's a good chance of a SHTF scenario, and stacking silver makes more sense as a way to preserve existing wealth if there is NOT a SHTF scenario. We probably should do both.
      Prepping was the norm just one generation ago. I suppose we're alot more spoiled than our parents, not having ever lived through a crisis, or even grown up hearing stories at the kitchen table of what it was like when S really did HTF, big time.
      Oh, and to pay off any debt is key. A $20,000 stack of silver might not be very helpful if you have $200,000 in debt, and the interest goes through the roof.

    Maybe I'm the only old dude on this channel, but I hate trying to read the tiny date on a grungy old Roosevelt dime. I inspected the dates on all 200 of my Roosevelts and it gave me a headache. Instead I stack Mercury dimes. When you see a Merc you know exactly what it is, no worrying about the date and no eye strain.

      I don't mind having to read the dates to verify that a Rosie is silver. Of course most here know that they are a little cheaper than Merc dimes. I'm in the camp that no matter which type of silver you stack (constitutional, rounds, bars, or even Jewelry), you are vastly more prepared than the majority of Americans for a potential severe economic downturn. I think if we do face Great Depression 2.0, Vendors will adapt with various methods to be able to test the silver at their location (scales, chemistry kits, slide test, etc).

    Great video Speg...I like the reasoning! I personally do as you said in the end (yes I watched the whole thing 😀). I stack all constitutional silver (well dimes, quarters, and halves...not so much on the dollars...too much premium). But I also make sure I stack generics and government issued. The thing is, we don't know FOR SURE what the next crisis is going to be and what will be the best to help get us through so just in case, I'll have some of it all.

      Big bars aren't a mistake. I sold thousands of ounces in 2011 and it was a pain in the ass to even bring my eagles and 10 ounce bars to my dealer. It took me several trips and several days to bring my stuff in and price was dropping big everyday after the peak. My 100 oz bars were the easiest to transport actually. I learned a big lesson in 2011 and I only stack 100 oz bars now. If your going to have less than a thousand ounces than 1 oz coins make sense but if your going to have a serious stack you'd be insane not to stack 100 oz bars. Depending on the bar size you can stack at least 3,000 ounces of 100oz bars in the same space/size of a monster box of eagles. You can stack about 18 RCM 100oz bars in the same space of a monster box of maples.

    I am very much inclined to agree with you on this matter. I have put a lot of thought and money, not to mention time and study into this exact issue. I have enjoyed reading the comments of the others also. Some great points have been made. Especially, concerning Rosie's vs. Merc's. I have a scale and have weighed them all against each other. The silver loss looks substantial on some mercs. But, if you change the scale setting to grains, you will see it to be minimal. Even though it looks much more significant on the surface, that is all you are seeing is the surface. These little scales are great. I highly recommend them. They are $9! And they come with a 100 gram weight for calibration purposes. But, if I am out bartering and run into a problem of validity, pulling out the little scale would be easy to do. And it would also help convince, educate, and generally help the situation a lot. And lightweight easy to carry. If we go off grid, get rechargeable batteries. Handy for buying and selling both. The main point is "fractional" silver!! Who is going to give you "change"? Nobody!! I am currently up to about five pounds of Junk silver. I have all denominations of it. I also have the 1 gram bars in .999. About 180 of those. Who knows what kind of buying power they will have? A lot I bet. Don't worry about trying to convince a seller to accept them. They will be out there selling perishables or whatever, and will WANT to close the sale for something of worth. So, i don't worry about that. Show them the Clad kind vs. the Silver kind. They will catch on fast. I don't know about the "Mellenials" they will be the first to starve probably lol. I stack eagles too, they are so cheap now. It's hard not to blow my whole paycheck!

    The only problem I have with this is, in a collapse of society situation anything associated with currency wont be worth anything. Most people don't know about Roosevelt Dimes or Pre-1966 quarters. So they will just see it as worthless since it's a dime. I think you overestimate the knowledge of the modern day citizen on precious metals. I didn't know anything until I started watching a few videos because I'm going to start stacking. But everyone will shy away from money since it wont have any value in an end of society situation. They know silver or gold. But even more valuable then those will be Food and Water and safe shelter.

    I disagree. I prefer the mercury dimes. Yes, they are a little more worn. But every single one is 90% silver (minted 1916-1945). Anyone can tell at a glance your dime is good. With the roosevelts the other party has to take out a magnifying glass and check the date on each and every dime; 1946-1964 good, 1965 and after worthless base metal. This would slow down transactions.
    SD bullion is selling mercury dimes at 20 cents less per troy oz than roosevelts, though most places charge more for the mercuries.
    I like franklin halves best of all (1948-1963) every one is 90% silver, unlike the Kennedy halves. And the franklins are much less worn than the earlier average circulation walking liberties.

    I think another benefit to constitutional is that some DO NOT know they are silver. If you are confronted and asked to empty your pockets...who is going to steal dimes. For that reason, I also like war nickels.

      But if the shit hits the fan money is worth nothing ie dimes and people don’t know there silver, are people going to want to trade with dimes and then your Gona have to melt them down to extract the 90% silver to make it tradable,so why not have the pure bullion and melt it down to smaller pieces? As your melting anyway, also you don’t need to explain that the dimes are silver but in money form ,that has just crashed and worthless people will associate money being worthless . Pure bullion for me .

    I think that you are likely correct or at least close. I think Mercs would probably be better even though they have a higher level of Silver loss. When Silver begins to trade, it'll be weighed, so the weight loss issue is really irrelevant. I think American dimes in general is the best thing to have, but I also think that diversity within your stack is your friend, so I would continue to buy a wide range of Silver. Once the market psychology really changes the recognition and desire for both Gold & Silver will change dramatically. And when things truly get bad, the recognition of and methods of dealing with Silver will be sought out and learned quite quickly. The point for people holding Silver is to sell their Silver slowly and ONLY AS NEEDED because the real point to sell your Gold & Silver is when things have stabalized and the system has been rebooted.

    Well thought out presentation. You are spot on.with the Roosevelts as they are recognizable, easily stored, carried, traded and sold and are used in a wide variety of industrial uses. One should ask, why I am investing, what are my objectives and goals? To me it's not always what I like best, it's more what is the best value? I have purchased a variety of silver coins over the years, but after a few years of studying and buying silver, I determined that the pre-64 Roosevelts were the best silver buy for me. I've been stacking Roosevelts for about 15 years, both circulated and BU. Yes, I do buy other gold and silver coin, occasionally. Look at buying rolls of BU Roosevelts for about $75 -$85 per roll, or less. That makes it $1.50-$1.70 per coin. You could turn around and sell them for $3 to $5 per coin and sometimes more, on ebay or USA coin book and probably other sites. I don't sell mine, but if I had to.

      Ive started collecting alcohol 5cl miniatures and I'll trade them for beans bread and water. Alcohol will be a good commodity it will also be good for infections not just drinking.

      This is not just for SHTF, but afterwards when things stabilize and silver/gold are worth much more than they are now.

    Interesting video. I wouldn't have considered the dimes. I don't have any constitutional silver but might start.

      That's true...But remember, everyone else has one or 20 themselves...It'll be a tough "negotiation"

      And if I and others observe your "negotiations" through our scopes from 200yds away how does that end?
      Changes in the rules of engagement when the world flips over will be interesting
      Best of luck to all

    Hey Speg, you make a great point, I was think about this very subject a couple of weeks ago, I am a stacker, growing my gold stack with pre-33's and have been stacking silver since 2010 on and off, now im stacking full speed a head because of what going on in the country, Right now. Im stacking ASE's and also have three rolls of generic 1oz bullion rounds and I just got into barber half dollars,I just love the way they feel and look, they gives me goose bumps lol, but my thought is that they weigh in at .361 ozT ea so 3 of them is a little over 1ozT (1.13 ozT to be exact) and I was look at getting some 1/4 oz bullion and In my opinion barbers are better then buying 1/4oz .999 silver bullion because doing the math for a barber half dollar which in todays spot is $26.43x.90 purity of US silver coins is $23.78x.361= $8.58 per barber melt, while a 1/4 ozT .999 fine bullion weighs in a .25 ozT the math is $26.43(spot)x.25=$6.61; so if my calculation is correct barber half dollars are $1.97 more in melt value then the 1/4ozT .999 fine bullion, so I would think that 90% Constitutional silver is a better stacking medium and bartering medium compare to any bullion under 1oz. What do you think? Thank you and stay safe
