I know they're over $600 for a one oz coin but it's the standard of the world. If everything else goes; that will remain.

True, I just kick myself in the butt at times for not investing in precious metals when they cost less. I remember when silver was $6-$7/oz and now it is over $12/oz. and when gold was less than $400/oz and it is now around $600 or more an oz.
I wonder though if the pre-1964 90% silver coins are a good way to go for those that can't afford others. I had a buddy of mine offer to sell or trade me a bunch of peace and morgan dollars. But he is holding on to them for the time being.
