With people struggling to make ends meet, many wonder how they can invest in precious metals to protect themselves and be as prepared as possible for any economic turbulence…most of us simply can’t afford to jump out of bed and go buy a couple of ounces of gold.
We all have daily expenses to meet – keep a home, put food on the table, gas in the tank and lights on at the house. All that without even mentioning the financial obligations kids bring into the picture!
With this reality in mind, you may be wondering how you can invest in gold and silver bullion with little cash…one inexpensive option to consider is junk silver bullion.
Up until 1965, dimes, quarters and half dollars contained 90% silver…they contained something of real value.
Today however, each contains a hodge podge of metals that have no real intrinsic value. Pennies too contain hardly any copper anymore…in fact, it’s been suggested the penny be phased out.
What’s the main reason for choosing junk silver quarters, dimes and half-dollars to protect myself?
They’re easily transferable…they come in small enough increments that you can easily trade them for necessary day-to-day things like food, shelter and clothing. Trying to trade a 1-oz gold coin for some groceries may be a little cumbersome since 1-oz of gold will buy A LOT of groceries.
Junk silver quarters break precious metals down into more manageable increments for daily expenses.
Purchasing 90% silver quarters, dimes and half-dollars minted in the U.S. until 1965 represents the least expensive way to take advantage of the financial security precious metals offer…these coins will look like any ‘ol coin you have in your pocket while they are in fact much more valuable.
On July 11th for example, a $1.00 face value of quarters is available at Provident Metals for $13.01…that’s four quarters for $13 bucks, which equals roughly $3.25 per quarter!
To think 45 years ago that a 25 cent piece would be worth over 12 times that much is almost unimaginable…yet that’s where we find ourselves today with the prospects of even worse inflation more real than ever.
So consider buying junk silver bullion, the easiest and least expensive way to invest in precious metals.
There is no junk when it comes to silver. It’s all pure gold…
According to the Royal Canadian Mint website, the 1967 10 Cent, 25 Cent, 50 Cent, and 1 Dollar coins are all made of 80% silver and 20% copper though there are also 1967 25 Cent coins made of 50% silver and 50% copper which have a slightly lower mass. Also, prior to 1920 the 10 Cent, 25 Cent, and 50 Cent coins were made of sterling silver (92.5% silver and 7.5% copper). I hope that helps.
