I have been slowly building up on Gold the last few years. I've found British Soveriegns tone the best bang for the buck. At made of 22 carrot gold (11/12th) they are 0.23542 oz of pure gold. Around here I can buy them for right at spot, when 1/4 Krugers, Eagles or Mapleleafs are going for way over spot.

I figure that WHEN the crisis hits, all gold will be recognized as the value in trade that they are.... Coins, bullion, jewelry and teeth alike.

The next step has to be getting my brother and dad to be willing to let me stage supplies out at their farm. They do not see the danger, and view my perspective as paranoid.

When SHTF they will be grateful that I'm around.
