THESE four SILVER quarters are STILL able to buy 4 gallons of gas, based on the intrinsic value of the silver. THIS is one major reason why I stack silver.

I have long said that an ounce of SILVER can buy a bag of groceries, as in food staples, such as milk, butter, bread, pasta, or rice. At $15 per ounce last year and $23 now, that still holds true, a bit.
