Thanks for the article. I'll take a look at the smart silver site. I don't like paying shipping and handling because DFW has so many dealers that it's often not far out of my way. One place is not far from Turner Hardware, which is one of my favorite new shopping places (and locally owned!)
OK so I read the article, and I don't get it. So, if we suddenly have this huge crisis that demands a precious metal based system, all the pre-1965 coins are going to be worth their face value? Silver coins (for example, a 1 oz coin) will be worth what? Same with gold (again, 1 oz). Since silver is something like $13/oz (is this correct?), does that mean life will cruise away from a $20 bill and go towards a $13 coin?
