Private-Trade Friendly Silver Coins
If you ever need to sell to a neighbor or friend, you cannot use obscure bullion. You need specific coins that build instant trust.
Most people assume they will sell their silver back to a coin shop. But what if the shops are closed? Or what if you simply want to sell to a friend without a middleman taking a cut?
This is Private Trade. And for private trade to work, you need Trust.
The Trust Problem
If you hand your neighbor a generic silver bar that says " Happy Birthday 2012," they have no idea if it is real. They have to trust you. And when money is involved, trust is expensive.
The Solution: Sovereign Minted Coins
To trade privately, you need coins that carry Institutional Trust. Your neighbor might not trust you, but they trust the US Government (or at least, they trust that the US Mint doesn't make fake silver dimes).
Top 3 Private-Trade Coins:
- Pre-1965 US 90% Silver: It is illegal to counterfeit US Currency. It has a distinct look and sound. People recognize it as "old money."
- American Silver Eagles: The most recognized bullion coin on Earth. Even non-stackers know what an Eagle is.
- Canadian Maples: Known for extreme purity (.9999) and advanced security features (radial lines) that make them hard to fake.
The "Frictionless" Trade
If you try to sell a generic bar, you might have to go to a shop to get it X-Rayed. That is friction. If you pull out a roll of Quarters, the trade can happen on a handshake. That is frictionless.
If you believe that peer-to-peer commerce is the future, stock up on the coins that make it easy.
