After stocking up on firearms and ammo (I think I am all set there) 4 different calibers x 3k each and at least 3 diferent firearms for each cal. (not counting .22s), food and water are next on my list, the question I have is, what in other members opinions would be, after my food and water list is filled, would be benificial for me to stock up on, gold or silver ? I am leaning toward silver, I already have approx 10lbs of various old silver coins, and recently have been purchasing silver in 1oz boullion denominations, only because I get a lot more product for the price. And the fluctuating price of gold, I have read that coins are better, caus people will realize that old coins problebly are real, as opposed to boullion which a lot of people may not reconize as being silver. I also have a book that gives info on various silver content in several commen coins, as well as a digital scale for weighing coins boullion ect. I am aware that lead will be the most benificial metal, but for circumstances that may and will arise (in my opinion) precious metals may be a prudent commodity to have. Any input would be appreciated. D. Also please forgive my spelling.
