@Hoss I bought this 3 months ago on the week they started taking preorders. I bought mine for $66.34 it's almost doubled in 3 months by time it gets to me in 3-6 days it will double at this trajectory

Worth it to also invest in elements other than Ag, Au, Pt, & Pd. You don't even have to invest in the metals themselves. Just get jars of the oxides for most of them. Even with Ag, Au, Pt, & Pd you can get simple compounds or solutions of them so that they aren't readily identifiable and less likely to be stolen or even searched for.
Beyond bullion, don't forget the other two of the "3 B's": Bullets and Booze. Stock up on ammo and quality alcohol, both of which will be far more useful than gold or silver after the collapse of civilization.

@LoliHat @Hoss @hakui next place I go I'm gonna set up a distillery so I can have the Independence of making my own and use that as possible currency if needed. I collect plat and palladium and I actual have a lot of aluminum cans as well as copper scrap and I've started collecting copper pennies en masse as I'm betting they're gonna be a great short to medium term investment since people are melting them down causing a market rarity. Once people can't get pennies they're gonna blow through the roof and only get better with time. I've gone hard on pennies for years niggas bout to feel me lol

Aluminum? Knowing how to make aluminum metal from bauxite or similar minerals will be useful. Admittedly, you'd have to develop some other technology first, but imagine having that knowledge and skill back in ancient times. You'd be a god-king of a powerful nation with that type of power.

@Soy_Magnus @Hoss @hakui That's because they don't know how to do it properly. Which is exactly why knowing how to to it right can be so beneficial.

Aluminum isn't like iron or steel. This is why, despite aluminum being one of the most abundant elements on Earth, the metal was practically nonexistent until the 19th century.

IIRC the capstone of the Washington Monument was forged out of aluminum for prestige because modern refinement techniques had not been discovered and metallic aluminum was extremely rare.
@Hoss @Soy_Magnus @hakui @LoliHat 20x the time of gold. And ~18 months after the topstone was laid aluminum refining dropped the price to below copper

1Imagine being the first guy to figure out how to refine aluminum when it was still the most valuable metal on the planet. The alchemist's dream come true.
