I like your idea but please avoid felt at all costs. I collect medals and we tend not to use some materials because some tend to be acidic over time and can darken the finish. Remember that the glue might not be archival quality either.

I don’t think you’re anti silver, I think you are realistic. Your posts are very informative

This is an outstanding post - the better bet would have to have bought a house with you £1000 in 1971 - that's gone up in value dramatically more than gold !

I have an PCGS MS64 Morgan Silver dollar with a mild strike through error - it dot not damage the value too much in my case ! I am though tired of the Royal Mint charging a massive premium for their coins when they have quality control and milk spotting issues

Yep Mr Bald and Bankrupt - he has a rather colourful history himself if you wanted to spend a little time looking him up

I have always found this SHTF discussion in relation to gold and silver pointless. If things were so bad that worldwide civilization collapsed (following something like WW3, Pandemic or zombie apocalypse) then what good would silver or gold do you when you cant eat it and it cant shelter you from the elements. If you are truly worried about SHTF moments (in the West at least) invest in a bunker with an abundant food supply

Stacking silver in the UK is a mugs game. In America you can find cheap deals on constitutional/junk silver - its even in your pocket change. Its more affordable there because you don't pay VAT on silver purchases. You don't pay VAT on gold but its hardly affordable. Junk silver is challenging to get in the UK because we did not switch to a modern denomination until 1971

I don't really buy modern silver anymore and I have less than 100 oz which is considerably less than most on the forum. I am much more interested in 19 century 5 Franc/Mark coins now. I never bought silver as an investment but as a bit of fun. I cant really afford to buy more gold as its so expensive.

Are you sure that its not normal damage/wear ?
