every 1/10 adds up

Now......I am no expert, but my opinion is that the more assets that you own that Uncle Sam doesn't know about, the better. TPTB can't confiscate what they don't know about. Better to keep such things hidden. I have posted many suggestions here at TMM on how to do that. If you poke around a bit, you'll find them.

I agree with keeping Uncle out of and ignorant of your stash. I have so little I keep it in my BOB. This is a neat little item I'm sure all Uncles agents have as they are only 200 frn retail;. Great for remodeling also. http://walabot.com/diy

I hope that you buy more than just gold. IMHO, the proper silver to gold ratio is around 100:1.

100ozs of silver for every 1oz of gold.

Of course, that's just my opinion. YMMV.

Who hides PMs in the wall?

There are a crap-load of more creative hiding places. Don't ask me to share though. I ain't tellin'.

Silver is back up over $20/oz again. Up 54 cents today.

recently I've stared buying up some small lots of 1 gram .999 fine silver coins.
The price is astronomical relative to the "spot" price on silver.
I've also been buying up a little bit of gold.(a few 1 gram bars)
The reason why I'm paying that high price on the silver is because those 1 gram coins are "usable" for making everyday purchases in the event of a financial collapse.
They 'might" make good dollar coins, after a collapse.
One dollars worth of gold on the other hand would be smaller than a pinhead and not very handy going in or out of ones pocket.
Gold is great for large purchases, or savings, but silver rules as pocket change
I figure if there's a collapse, I'll have a little bit of metal money to buy stuff with, and if there's no collapse I can leave em' to the ole' lady when I croak, or dump em' when spot gets higher than what i paid for them.
I can buy .999 fine silver shot much cheaper, but those pieces of shot aren't of any defined weight, and are unmarked, and thus not usable as money without a scale and potentially an assay to prove their purity.

Before I sold them because I was short on cash, I had a big bag of silver dimes. They are 2.25 grams of silver apiece, or about $1.25 at today's $17.35/ounce price. They were the smallest silver coin in circulation for many years. Apmex is selling them for $1.28 apiece, for $100 bags, and not much more for smaller quantities, which is an amazing deal. https://www.apmex.com/category/25830/90-silver-rolls-bags-generic
