While I can see the value of keeping some silver/gold on-hand I don't necessarily think that's the right thing for me for right now. But I'm going to ask anyways.
I "stole" some sterling silver items from the local goodwill last week. Now, when I say "stole", I don't mean theft, I mean, they didn't mark the prices according to value (they probably didn't know/care that it was sterling). I got 1.375 oz of sterling for $.98 + tax.
It's use as dinner ware (it original purpose) is no longer valid because it is fairly heavily damaged (dents, bends, gouges etc).
I'm just not sure what to do with it to maximize its usefulness to me. While I'm definitely not hurting for liquid cash right now, every bit of cash I can dump into prepping (including paying down debt etc) will be good in the long run. I'm just not sure what to do with it. I wasn't necessarily looking for PMs at goodwill, I just happened to see what appeared to be silver but didn't have the normal look of a silver plating so I took a look and saw it was Sterling. Couldn't pass up ~$30 of silver for just over a dollar OTD.
