I’m not surprised that US Silver Eagle sales continue to climb. They are gorgeous, they make an interesting noise when you clink a pile of 10 or so onto your desk – I love the sound of hard money in the morning – and we all know where the dollar is going. Although they are a great inflation hedge, I am buying Silver Eagles more as a survival hedge: when the dollar is gone, and the economy is gone, and even the grocery stores are gone (this will all happen around spring-summer 2012, when a certain Middle Eastern Black Swan takes flight), you local flinty-eyed farmer at a green market will not accept paper oblongs with portraits of dead presidents ; he’ll tell you to take them back to your shack and use as wallpaper. Just one Silver Eagle, though, will get you a nice armload of groceries.
