Great post k9zw .. brings up some general Q's I've had for some time.  I admittedly have not purchased precious metals.  Always was a stock / crypto guy.  However now am wondering within a SHTF situation what the best trade / barter currency would be.  Where is the "place to go" locally or otherwise to get the more "trusted" coins?

To your point, the argument I hear regarding any precious metal being able to validate it's legitimacy while also it's percentages.  The debate seems to be one group suggesting "lead and cans of food, alcohol, tobacco, coffee" for bater while others insist on Gold or Silver. I'd think a bit of "all of the above."  Your thoughts?
