PREP I reached my goal today!! No not a weight loss thread - Silver!!!

[20Gauge]

Well I reached my goal for silver (junk) to be collected this year. It took me nearly 10 months to do so, but I feel so much better knowing I have my taxes covered for when the dollar goes to crap.

The failure of the US Dollar and prepping for the change in currency is the only reason I have the silver. It is a hedge for what might come.

Now to set new goals for 2022.

Also of note, since the price of silver has dropped ( on paper ) I actually was able to find some silver. It consisted of Morgan / Peace Dollars that sold for $30 each. Not a great price, but since I have not seen any silver for 4 weeks, it got bought.

...I maintain that if you're paying taxes with silver, you should instead invite the tax collectors to come a-callin' and instead pay in other metals dispensed at high speeds.

For a while I had a standing order with a mint, then I was buying their bars. They became unstable so
I stopped buying from them and switched to another dealer that didn’t have the order feature and occasionally ordered some silver eagles. My job interruption didn’t help. I’ll need to get back on the horse soon…

Good for you.

To me the silver is just another tool in my tool chest.

 

[Jeff B.]

Agreed. Sometimes stuff happens and we get off track.

Everyone should have their body weight in silver. And about a pound or so in gold, or as much you can swim with.

Because if you have to swim, forget the silver!

If I had property I would try and pay the taxes for years on down the road!

I found it interesting reading history that Viking ransoms sometimes called for the hostage's weight in silver.
