Right, your local coin shop may not be the best source of market information, just as your local card shop (if there are any left) is not going to be the best source of buy prices for cards.

I buy silver circulated or cull coins. This is one of the few apocalyptic prepper ideas I thought was of value. If Civil War or an apocalyptic scenario comes to US, paper currency will be worthless, but silver will be desired. And it will be easier to trade than gold or platinum. You don't need collector coins to use as currency in that sort of situation. So cull are the best coins to hoard.

I agree with you that paper currency will be worthless is this country/ world continues to be headed to chaos. I also agree with you that it appears silver would be easier to trade than gold.

if this countrys economy/currency goes down hill, do you think us coins will still have value or will all us currency (coins included) be worthless?

Forget the coins bro, stock up on freeze dried food, and buy some guns and ammo to defend it.

This thread is really turning inane.

I read this from preppers all the time. I have never ever heard a good reason on why. If paper money/currency is worthless the last thing I would do is trade anything of any value in the new SHTF world for silver.

The book I read used silver for traveling purposes. The scenario is farmers turn portions of roads into toll roads. Silver would be used to pay toll fees. I live in WA. If something happened here, I would be close enough to try to make it to Canada.
