I just bought my first Silver...

But I’m slowly buying gold and silver. The more the better.

To borrow a phrase from an enemy, “Stay the course.”

Advice? Yes, keep buying, as much as you can afford to! Also, APMEX is highly competitve.

After you've put away a few dozen ounces of silver, check your local coin shop for one tenth ounce gold pieces. At roughly a hundred FRD each they might be affordable. There's no telling just when the balloon will pop, so just keep plugging along.

Get gold, guns, ammunition, toilet paper, canned goods, fuel (firewood, propane, gasoline) -- whatever will keep and retain its value when we're using FRNs for tinder.

And why you are at it ...

Take some prospecting equipment.

Great for the family ...

And the bottom line...

My kids love it.

Three very important tools ...

That is it.

Oh yeah ... and a log book.

but we used to go buy rolls of dimes and quarters and fish through them for silver ones, then put alloys in their place and go sell the rolls back. That was 30 years ago, people still circulated some silver back then.

good for you.. do not forget 90% pre 1964 silver dimes...

I think silver in one ounce increments is a great way to go. For me, my silver stash will be my grocery money if and when things really go south. I have gold too. In .05 oz coins.

Who's going to be able to give you change for a one ounce gold coin?

I'm going to get out of here and start adding to my stocked silver collection, very important, on all angles.

This is instead of paper saying it will be paid back with another federal reserve note.
I am told precious metals never go to zero.

Rocklin Coin Shop $1.75/oz. over spot for Rounds
(Lowering the Spread!)
Silver Stock Report
by Jason Hommel, March 26th, 2009

Rocklin Coin Shop
4870 Granite Drive, Rocklin, CA 95677

I bought the Rocklin Coin Shop. I will take delivery on the morning of Tuesday, March 31st. For the first three days of operation, from March 31 to April 2, we will have a super sale on silver bullion! $1.75/oz. over spot (of about $13.50 or whatever it may be) on silver rounds and bars.

We are narrowing the spread. The Rocklin Coin Shop used to sell silver at $3.50 over spot, and did not have much volume in silver sales, and had a hard time finding silver for re-sale.

I will help to lower the spread on all bullion items as I gain all his existing contacts and suppliers, and bring to the table more of my own.

Currently, the former owners of Rocklin Coin have 80 ounces of silver rounds, since they were mostly focused on gold sales, and gold sales of up to 100 ounces in a single order.

We will open up the shop with the following inventory:

At least 20,000 ounces of silver bullion bars and rounds.
140 ounces of gold, or more.
450 ounces of palladium.
At least 10 bags of 90%, and mercury dimes.

Please don't call for price quotes, the shop won't ship bullion. Please come on by for a personal visit if you are in the Northern California area.

For in-person purchases, remember you need to buy more than $1500 to avoid the sales tax. Cash only. Except, if you order more than $10,000, be prepared to do a wire transfer, or bring a Cashier's Check or Bank Check.

For bullion that needs to be shipped, please see www.seekbullion.com. We are lowering the minimum bid on our silver down to $1.75 over spot, starting on Saturday.

Sincerely,

Jason Hommel
