Ways a Laminating Machine Can Help You Get Prepared
This action
step is designed to help you dip your toe in the world of precious
metals. Its a lot easier than you might think.
I used to be
very intimidated by the thought of buying gold or silver because
I had never collected coins and had never been in a coin store in
my life. Chris Slife, of Howling Coyote Silver Company, gave me
a great tutorial, which I posted here
and here,
and I made my first venture into the world of precious metals.
This Action
Step is to purchase one or more ounces of junk silver. Junk silver
is just quarters and dimes that are dated 1964 or earlier. These
coins are 90% silver and are an easy way to begin buying precious
metals. They may also come in handy someday when the dollar is devalued
because they are easily recognizable as legitimate silver based
on their date and denomination
Purchasing
either silver or gold is also a smart way to preserve your wealth,
since the dollar has been declining in value over the past several
decades. This trend will continue and will likely accelerate as
the federal government pumps massive amounts of new
money into the money supply. The value of the dollar is never going
to increase, so you might as well invest in precious metals as you
can afford to, because those will always have value.
So, heres
the plan.
- Visit a
local coin store and ask to see a pre-1964 quarter or dime.
- Compare
that coin with a quarter or dime you have in your pocket. It will
look and feel different.
