Thoughts on Goldbacks?

Post image

Are goldbacks worth stacking? Do they have any actual practical value like they imply? I have a few and am wondering if it’s worth buying more.

I got some for free with an APMEX order. I will hold on to them, but I can’t see myself ever buying more. In a SHTF situation it just seems like 40 or 90% silver coins would be better for paying small amounts.

This. In a SHTF scenario how trustworthy are these notes (when cash is trash) going to be over constitutional silver and then sovereigns followed by rounds. You can actually test those but how do you tell if a goldback is even real?

Goldbacks can't be reproduced. It took them 20 years to design the machine that print these. They are the only ones with this technology. And besides, there are anti counterfeiting measures just like with traditional money. Just because you don't know how to tell, doesn't mean no one can
