There is not a bank anywhere that matches that amount of growth in this short of time. Just keep stacking a little at a time.

So what will be barter of exchange for those who survive? Eventually, after goods and services are used in the beginning, Silver will most likely be the medium of exchange as it had been for thousands of years. At 77 years old, this is one sensible use of my money. However, I do have stocks. I also have cash hidden away in small bills, just to survive the initial few months of panic; not to forget lots of food and water.

    Silver is looked at as an industrial metal these days more than as money. That ship has sailed. There are so many applications that silver is used for and the price will never explode. The economy can’t handle it. If silver went to 100, how could we afford a solar panel or camera. Think about it 😮

    • @Spegtacular
      @Spegtacular  10 днів тому

      Because you don’t need $100 of silver in a camera… and a solar panel only uses like 20 grams of silver… so even if silver went to $500, those two things you mentioned really aren’t that big of a deal and would still be purchased…

Since I am 75, I will probably be dead before it ever hits $100.00.

    • @jasonluchtel7974
      @jasonluchtel7974 6 днів тому

      Look through half dollars. Dimes and quarters are still a circulating currency so it's pulled out of circulation as soon as it is found. On the other hand we don't use half dollars in our everyday transactions that much. It is a forgotten coin. Most people today don't even know what a half dollar is. There for your chances of finding silver is a lot greater looking through half dollars. And when you find one you get a lot more silver for the size of the coin than a quarter or dime. The halves you want will be the 1964 and earlier of course. They are 90%. Then you want the 1965-1970. They are 40% silver. You will also find an array of proof strikes in the S mints and various other oddities, doubling, etc. Not every box will have silver but sometimes you might hit a box that might have 20 or more plus silvers. It's worth hunting the halves. I guarantee you will thank me later. Also if your into copper, search penny boxes for anything 1981 and older. Each copper cent is worth around 3 cents in copper. They are easy to get a lot of them. 1982 is the transitional year when they went to a zinc cent with a copper plating. You have to weigh those to determine if copper or copper plated zinc. The copper cents weigh 3.1 grams and the zinc ones weigh 2.5 grams so get yourself a little gram scale too. You will want one anyway if you are a coin roll hunter. All cents from 1983 to now is all copper plated zinc. Now you have the knowledge my friend. 😉

    Silver is NOT, and never will be an investment. You should never buy Silver, expecting for it to earn you a 8 to 10% return year over year. On the other hand, if you choose to save for your future, or your children’s future, then Silver is by far a better way to save for the long term. As we all know by now, most SAVINGS accounts pay about 1% or less per year in interest. As the dollar continually gets devalued over time, the cost of an ounce of Silver goes up (dollar worth less, than more dollars to buy the same amount) protecting your purchasing power.

    When silver and gold finally gets the respect that it deserves (as real money) in the eyes of the masses then you will see that it is more than an investment and its true value will come to light/ make you rich because of how undervalued it is. But sadly its true value is gatekept by soo many things from it being an investment, collectible, safe haven, preservation of wealth etc...

    I'm not tech savvy, but I understand precious metals. Precious metals have been a wonderful savings vehicle for me and having it has saved my bacon a number of times. Cryptocurrencies are wonderful for many and it would have been great to invest early, but I am a tech dunce, so I probably would have messed up somehow if I had tried to get into it, lol!!

    Silver is a hobby that may or may not pay off. A hoard should be treated like a collection.
