If you're stacking for wealth preservation, go for the MOST silver for the LEAST money in WHATEVER FORM you can get.

If you can get "constitutional silver" (commonly called junk silver) at or below spot, that is in my opinion the 100% best value for the dollar, and they also have great liquidity. Every other choice is ultimately a compromise between value and liquidity

Let's pretend you have $4100 to spend and premiums are high on US Eagles, medium on Maples and low on generic rounds, and spot for a 100oz bar.

Your money would buy 70 Eagles, 80 Maples, 90 Generic rounds or one 100 oz bar. This is typical of prices when the premiums go up due to high retail demand (we are not there yet).

US Eagles have tax and IRS reporting advantages, but only for Americans, and only for very large amounts over 1000oz.

Sovereign mint legal tender coins like Maples and Philharmonics have tax (VAT) advantages, but primarily for Europeans (20% VAT)

Generic rounds have low premiums and reasonablly liquidity, and are often boring looking.

Bars have lowest premiums but lowest liquidity, you have to sell them at a coin dealer and they will give you the lowest money per oz.

Let's say the spot price of silver doubles to $82.00/oz and assuming you only get spot price

70 Eagles = $5740
80 Maples = $6560
90 generic = $7380
100 bar = $8200

If you expect the price to go up, buy for weight. Higher weight can be tougher to sell however so many people suggest that people who are starting out buy smaller silver AT FIRST because it's easier to sell/trade if you need emergency funds. Once you have a hundred or two oz or so of small stuff, GO FOR WEIGHT and buy the CHEAPEST of whatever.

The scary part is the unwinding leverage will look like everyone desperately trying to grab their own and hide it behind their back. But all of this capital and infrastructure are things we all need to live.
There is not a chance in hell these minorities will be working to pay taxes to support much of anything if they can help it.
People were at extreme odds after the civil rights act and integration were passed. We almost had a civil war because no one wanted to pay taxes to support blacks. That is around when the great society came along to allow the government to borrow money to pay for welfare. It's like wrapping up medicine for a dog in some cheese to trick him in to eating it. We were all bamboozled.

There is ZERO chance that the US financially survive her predicament whole. The dollar will be devalued, bondholders will get raped, boomers will get screwed Browns will have to go back.

It is fud only because you are bought-in on BTC being the real winner. Sounds like you agree with the assessment but you are threatened by the conclusion. That's right, if PM maxis are correct cryptards will lose big.

I've read several books on gold, silver and the history of money and it is the single most important thing on the planet. The elite hoard gold in vaults so they can extend credit in lieu of money so they can steal the world's wealth through interest.

The uninitiated will easily fall for BTC and the talking points that surround it. Especially the younger generations who are not personally familiar with investing and trading prior to 2008 ZIRP. I could anticipate a moment in time when BTC will capture some more capital inflows in the confusion, but those already owning BTC will be collapsing against the move that PMs make. The capital outflows from BTC will be panic driven and a 80-90% loss for anyone buying over $100,000 is almost a guarantee. The imploding normalcy bias will snap necks and carry most people away in financial body bags. I think the Gold:BTC ratio will be one of the most absurd things of all time in hindsight. If you caught the bullrun in BTC the smartest thing you could do would be to lock those gains away as wealth outside of the banking system. Scarcity alone is not enough to support those prices and a resource-shortage caused by a sovereign debt crisis will create a flight to quality. Stocks and bonds won't do you much good when the globe has been consuming 100+% of its production for the last four decades. Made only possible with the creation of IOUs.
