I have an appreciable amount of junk silver in pre-1965 US coins, but no gold except for my wedding ring. I've never seen the silver as any kind of "investment," but rather as a last-ditch hedge if currency is worthless.
Ive been collecting and then buying pre 1964 silver coins since I was a wee lad going through my Dads and Grandpas change. I have a few hundred dollars face value and have given a few hundred more to the kids and grandkids. At 90% instead of .9999 its value lies in barter rather than melt. Of course if the value goes to 14:1 like what the video is speaking of than I will reevaluate.
I only got started about 20 years ago but have hoarded every single item I have bought over the years. Even have some sterling silver dinnerware that might have some melt value. I weighed it recently and it was over 23 pounds of the stuff.
