lots of good advice here. Since you're looking for physical silver I recommend that you find a dealer from whom you can buy direct. This eliminates the Internet and waiting for the mail man to arrive with your order.

My shop sells for cash. The owner is very professional & knowledgeable. He knows me but not my last name or address, and he does'nt want to know, I like it that way.

Holding 'junk' silver will give you small increments of value that is instantly identifiable as legit and could be easily spent in a SHTF scenario.

One oz rounds, 10 oz bars, 100 oz bars would be hard to 'spend' but will nicely store value in a more efficient way. A mix of both 'junk' silver and rounds/bars may be ideal.

Exactly. That is my thought. I live in NYC and am looking for that contact though. Beliefpve it or not I have full carry in NYS but it is not valid in NYC.
