I stash graded Ben Frankiln Half Dollars - so should you! These are among the last 90% coins minted by the U.S. Mint. China is actively counterfeiting US Silver Eagles - you cannot tell the difference! Unless you own a magnet slide (vid on YouTube about that). Silver is about to skyrocket and this graded coin is the best value now and will bring the greatest premium. NGC is my personal preference however many prefer PCGS - these are the two biggest names in graded coins.
The reason I collect graded is because the coin is vacuum sealed in a protective, holographic 'slab' and certified as genuine. You can pick these up at online auction for well under $20 which is less than the cost of sending in yourself to be certified!
Mercury dimes are another highly recommended coin and also 90% silver - obviously more divisible and that's makes them attractive as well in a barter scenario.
I love silver! With the current gold-silver ratio, silver must rise in the next couple of years. I hold a lot of silver coins and bars and I believe the demand of silver will become higher and higher, especially when India's demand for silver soars and the demand for solar power will reach its peak in 2018.

Brother pockets - I have seen coins on this nature graded as high as PF66 with a star (NGC). My collection focuses on PF65 and up however I am now trying to grab up DDR's (mint error coins) and always on the LQQK~out for FBL's. This will be key currency during the days of the imminent economic collapse!

High Grade Coins are kind of like Rare Works of Art...
Collectors will pay very high prices for the better ones...

Preppers insurance & survival barter. Good choice. I also stack the Mercury dimes. Don't want to have to make too much change in a trade.

I'm a big fan of Classic Commemorative half dollars produced from 1892-1954. All of my commemorative halves are slabbed. I currently have a 1936-D Texas, 1936-S Bay Bridge, 1925-S California, 1926-S Oregon Trail, 1923 Monroe Doctrine, and 1924 Huguenot-Walloon. I also own a 1893 Columbian Expo as a raw VF/XF, with rainbow toning. I also buy common date Morgan dollars with proof-like fields. I own a couple of Carson Cities. The most expensive silver coin I own is a 1921 high relief Peace dollar graded by PCGS. I also really like the pre-1933 US gold coins, I got a good deal on a 1883-S half eagle that I think is a "sleeper" coin. The 1883-S does not exist in MS65 or higher, MS64 is the finest known. Sorry for my previous comment.
