Dont completely ignore junk silver. Dont make it a major part of your silver collection but having 100 or 200 dollars face value worth of pre 1964 coinage (mostly dimes and quarters) will protect you during any major transition and/or a full MadMax event. These could be worth more to you in such cases than merely their melt value.
I have several hundred dollars face value after 35 years of buying metals. I also have a several ounces of gold in gram weights for the same purpose. I dont have these for their investment value but as a contingency plan.
While I am on the subject of barter cheap vodka, pot and vegetable seeds, tobacco and ammo will be highly sought. I dont have pot seeds or tobacco but i have several gallons of the cheap 5 dollar vodka and tons of vege seeds stashed away.
1 gm, 2gm gold bars and .5 oz .10 oz silver are great to have for survial puposes. Small enough to be easily transactionable. Also easily bartered items. 300 ml bottles of alcohol, first aid items, personal care items...these will all be in demand if/when TSHTF.
