Genesis 13:2
Avram (Abraham) was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
“If” we are indeed moving back to a hard money economy, as it “seems” we are, it will be a good idea to have some awareness of historical pricing as a potential baseline. To that end, finding sheets like this will likely be helpful to some extent.

It’s not obvious if he’s aware of the massive paper manipulation on silver, but generally, this is a very good initial valuation to be aware of, moving forward.
This is not an auditing problem. This has (at it's core) NOTHING to do with auditing, that is downstream. I'm not saying it might be a reasonable approach to the solution, but only because it might lead to knowledge of the core. ANY approach to showing the core would work.
At it's core, the problem is the belief that their primary system of economic control is good (even more important than fiat currency, though that's a close second). In our current system, that fuckery model, the thing that's "the bestest thing ever" is fractional reserves. There have been other fuckery models controlling economies through silver:gold ratios in the past, but fractional reserves is the primary current one (and the easiest to manipulate, if you don't get put in jail for it).
I appreciate that, and it was a good point. But I suggest it's a cart before the horse issue. If people understood how the problem is what it is, the understanding of how to trade silver for other real assets would automatically happen. It is the false economic "knowledge," pushed through the "experts" (who are all criminals, writing criminal books, published by criminal publishers) that has created the belief that fractional reserve lending is "great for our economy." That is the core problem: understanding who created that specific belief, how they did it, and why solves everything (or at least it's the only reasonable starting point).
Strategic agreement, differing tactical approach.
Not unexpected. Tactics aren’t my thing.
I don’t think we have any disagreement, here?
I agree you have addressed problems. My only contention is the proper approach to the solution. It's not important, but trying to show the "real problem" is kinda my thing. :)
