The Doomsday Package

[HighlandTiger]

It seems The Bullion Centre is trying to tap into the SHTF market. Not a bad little marketing move in my opinion

Preppers fill your boots..........................

[watchesandwhisky]

Hehe I noticed that too, pretty clever..they say its tongue in cheek but they are still using the message to plant a seed and make sales - the prepper in me says Sovereigns are much better, more divisible , standard size and measurement, easier to spot fakes. 

 

I Don't trust anything that's packaged or in a certi-card, we know fake products like this are coming out of china and I don't want any chances. 

 

Sovereigns and Britannia's will be the only gold I ever stack

[SilverPirate]

British silver junk must be a great preppers SHTF currency other than barter.Sovereigns would be for the larger trading or store of wealth as we do now.

[HighlandTiger]

Hard to find silver junk anywhere near spot at the moment.

[watchesandwhisky]

yep junk is trading well over spot right now and actually selling for more than when spot was higher.

That's very true, Half my stack is pre 47 junk.

That's very true, Half my stack is pre 47 junk.

And the same reason I bought a load of threepences, sterling and 50%. Nicely small incase 1oz coins are worth too much.

[watchesandwhisky]

I have gone as far as to have about 10kg of the old pre decimal penny's and half penny's, I think in any large scale SHTF situation they would have their place again.

Lol, you and me are so similar.

I must have about 10kg of pre-1992 copper 1p & 2p's.

[watchesandwhisky]

Hehe:) I just cant help but wonder if they will be looked back on as when coins had "semi valuable" metal in the coins rather than plated zinc lol.

 

Heck I wouldn't be surprised if at some point all metal money is withdrawn and replaced with plastic coin tokens..Lets face it the point of metal money was originally so the coin had intrinsic value and that's long since gone now.

[Barnstormer]

Yep, the wife rolls her eyes when I take the clad rubbish coins to the coinstar but keep the old non magnetic coppers in a jar. Way I see it, the old 1p and 2p coins are the closest thing we have to 'sound money' left....

Cheers!

it is my thought only , but the more I think about it  the more I think they can kick the can down the road forever, all these so called experts make these predictions week in week out pm,s are going to do this and that

the mining costs are ,more than it sells for , ase sales are at the highest .blah blah blah.    I have now become very sceptical about any major event, financial collapse, dollar crash, I think this will go on forever , so for now  craig will be buying not as often ,  as I think the pm,s will still be in my possession in 30 yrs time  so no panic just yet then

doomsday package , give us a break .....     its all scaremongery from pm gurus who probably have an interest in you buying silver from them

im sitting on the fence for now  at this rate we.ll be at £8  with no major event, sub prime , nothing whatsoever

ill keep my cash for now and wait like the croc

[HelpingHands]

Yep, maybe Craig.

Even if the Swiss vote for the gold reserves at the end of Nov they may say that they have ten years to address it.

This makes me smile. Of course, total strangers in some "post event" world will be delighted to hand over real goods for some old coins that stopped circulating before they were born. 

 

"but it's 50% silver"

"doesn't look it"

"but it is, it's pre-1947!"

"listen, nerd, I want money. Do you want this toilet roll or not? "

[Danny-boy]

You don't know that will be the case, just like I don't know if they will be accepted.

I'd rather have them than not have them, just incase. I bought them pretty much at spot, so it's of no significance - I haven't paid out more for them than the 1oz coins I would have bought, less in fact.

[silversword]

I also don't know whether my pet tortoise will complete the Times crossword, but at least he has it. Just in case.

Exactly.

[HighlandTiger]

Why are people obsessed with toilet rolls when it comes to doomsday scenarios. I won't be swapping anything for toilet rolls. I'll be using leaves in an outside toilet. Toilet tolls will be no use. Are people really going to waste water flushing toilets. If they work at all that is.

[Danny-boy]

I'll just "log on" at the bottom of the garden and use a hose (if working) or leaves.

[silversword]

Toilet roll is not just for wiping your arse on; it's very versatile.

 

Even without a working flush toilet, you can still wipe with it, then either bag it or bury it.

[Kman]

How has this turned into "how I would wipe my bum" thread lol

[HighlandTiger]

Well they do call it the shit hits the fan.....lol. Peppers are obsessed with waste removal ...[emoji1]

Hang it out to dry then use the other side. Times are gonna be tough!

[silversword]

Not to worry, mate. I can just buy more with my pre-decimal coins - in this terrible post apocalypse world where most trade goods will be in the hands of numismatists and silver stackers. Alternatively I will wow them with my incredible performing tortoise and accept tips in toilet paper and razor blades.

[HighlandTiger]

I won't be trading anything for razor blades either. I'm growing a beard and going for the full mountain man look. [emoji12]
