This one is known as an ASE

I found a dealer that was giving them up for $30 in paper money (paper is invariable going down in value).

It is time for purchasing silver in any form now that the manipulated price is below the cost to extract it from the ground. Today's price is 14.72 per oz. for bulk metal.

Coins are still going for a premium and will continue to fetch more as paper contracts trade on paper markets, settling in paper. Paper also burns.

Most who still participate in the banking system with their plastic money continue to ask me, "Can you spend that coin?"

The answer would be yes. I guess I could take one dollar worth of merchandise from a store while giving up over $30 worth of silver. People don't even realize that the paper is almost worthless.

I am holding on to physical metals and buying what I can. It pays to wait for a lucrative price and beat inflation. The same goes for Steem holdings - gather while it is cheap. Sell when the price spikes up.

Shields are made of metal - stay with real money.
Cheers
