Burt Reynolds nude on a 1 Troy ounce bar of silver.
I could spend this post discussing the likelihood of the US Dollar collapsing and a subsequent rush on precious metals. Or the urgency to buy silver and gold now before the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009— which isn’t a ‘stimulus’ in any regard because it doesn’t increase demand of anything— needs to be paid for with inflation. Or how global events indicate the point of no return has already been lapped two times and crashed through by Alan Greenspan’s Rolls Royce with a number 3 painted in lamb’s blood on the doors; and that all we can do now is plan to provide long term security for our family and friends.
Nah… that’s for another post.
Instead I will present this amazing bar of silver my friend found on ebay. (The auction is over so I quickly grabbed the pictures.)
Lots of independent refineries mint their own silver bars out of .999 fine silver shot. This one decided they would use a plate of a nude Burt Reynolds centerfold to brand their product.
It sold for 22.55 + $5 shipping… way over the current spot of 14/oz.
I hope whoever bought it keeps it in the back of his safe during the end times. And I hope when he reaches in with shaky hands, for that last ounce of silver to buy a loaf of bread or box of ammunition, he sees this and bemusedly chuckles.
Burt Reynolds nude: the ark of the covenant. The REAL stimulus package.
