Provident usually has the best prices, but I haven't looked in a while since the prices have been skyrocketing. I invest in the stock market when metals are high.

Some folks think they're going to barter precious metals when SHTF. Those folks are retarded. Most of my friends wouldn't recognize a Gold Eagle from an arcade token. I buy Gold for a long-term hedge, and I never have more than 10% of my assets in precious metals.

I'm not sure what charts you're looking at but Silver prices are rising too ... not a good time to buy: https://www.jmbullion.com/charts/silver-prices/
The folks who don’t recognize gold and silver won’t be the ones accepting it. Simple as that. This is why you don’t put all your eggs in one basket. I don’t know HOW the S will HTF, so I keep a variety of things stored from food/water, medical supplies, guns etc
