I purchased some silver last night... I purchased a variety of maples, eagles, sunshine mint and generics. I have more generic than maples/eagles but think all silver is going to be valuable if shtf.
I am interested in the value of precious metals in a post SHTF scenario. Obviously I can see where these would come in handy during an economic situation due to the universally accepted value and the growth trends they follow, but in the scenarios where supply and infrastructure are compromised what place do you see precious metals having? I would think ammo, rice, and seeds would have way more value and be far cheaper to currently load up on...
So I guess my question is silver just safe position for a possible economic collapse or is there more and I am just missing it?
