I don’t think gold nor silver will help when a real SHTF situation happens. I don’t think it will help much in a full blown depression either. As far as silver goes you might get better on a melt down of that silver as it can be used in medical items such as making colloidal silver soap and such. I do have both silver and gold but got it long before 2012 when all the mess started. It is not much but I will not be counting on it for anything. I have been pondering the idea of taking it to a seller and sell it off. Some of it are collectors gold and silver and the rest is just junk silver.
