Okie there's a member here that has a local shop that from the feedback is an honest dealer. But I can't for the life of me remember their screen name, I think they are on SW 29 in OKC. Do a search here. Sooner State Pawn is also highly regarded from what I've heard. Just thought you might want to deal with someone local and this gives you that option.

I've got some silver eagles for a hedge against inflation. I bought them 2 months ago at $16.95; they are now selling at $19.95. An 17.5% ROI is pretty good for a 2 month period. I'll sell some when it hits 25%. I'll save some in case I need to melt them into bullets for killing vampires.

I've got some silver, inherited in the form of employment reward for my parents. I keep trying to figure out how I'm going to take a piece of it off to buy a loaf of bread if SHTF.

Yep - it's not worth S in a SHTF scenario. It's a commodity investment for ordinary times.

You call me when we get to a shtf. I'll trade you a loaf or two of bread for your silver. No problem.

Silver will be worthless if shtf, but a year or two after that it might be pretty good. Every society needs currency, and silver and gold are as basic as it gets.
