The Smallest, Simplest Way to Own Precious Metals
You don’t need a safe. You don’t need a broker. You just need a pocket change jar from 1964.
The world of finance loves complexity. Derivatives. Options. ETFs. Crypto Wallets with 24-word seed phrases.
But there is a growing movement of people who crave the opposite: extreme simplicity. They want an asset they can understand, hold, and hide without needing a manual.
For these minimalists, the answer isn't a gold bar (too expensive) or a mining stock (too volatile). The answer is a Silver Quarter.
The "One Coin" Philosophy
Imagine buying a single pre-1964 Washington Quarter.
- Cost: About $5.00 (depending on market).
- Storage: A drawer. A pocket. A piggy bank.
- Maintenance: Zero.
- Value: It will always be worth ~0.18 ounces of silver.
It is the lowest friction investment in the world.
Why Small is Beautiful
1. No "Manager Risk"
If you buy a silver ETF (SLV), you are trusting a bank to hold the metal for you. If you buy a coin, the "management" consists of you remembering where you put it.
2. No "shipping shock"
Buying a 100oz bar costs thousands of dollars. It requires insured shipping, signatures, and anxiety. Buying a small bag of coins can be done at a local show, a pawn shop, or via discreet mail without setting off alarms.
3. Incremental Wealth
Most people can't save $1,000 a month. But almost everyone can save $20 a week. Junk Silver is the perfect vessel for micro-saving. Buying 4 quarters a week (~$20) adds up to over 35 ounces of silver a year. Do that for 10 years, and you have a massive stockpile of wealth, accumulated painfully slowly, using money you wouldn't have missed.

How to Start (The "No Regrets" Method)
Go to our store (or any store). Buy one roll of Dimes ($5.00 Face Value). Put it in your desk drawer.
That's it. You are now a precious metals owner. If the price of silver goes to zero, you lost the price of a takeout dinner. If the dollar collapses, you have insurance. The asymmetry of that bet—low risk, high security—is why the "smallest way" is often the smartest way.
