Here, but occasionally There.
My concern with metals is that if the SHTF, since gold isn't a "legal tender," how would one make purchases with it? If that circumstance did arise, would those willing to buy more gold take advantage by providing less "legal tender" than one thinks it is worth? In other words, how many people would have anything with which to buy your gold?

The American silver eagle has a face value of $1
The American gold eagle has a face value of $50
Both are legal tender.
