RE: One Ounce of Silver will get me Two Ounces of Gold...

Distortions have a tendency to revert to the mean, and while they also tend to overcorrect, I can't see what you're calling for here...even back to ancient Egypt (before widespread trade and based more or less on regional availability) you're looking at around 4:1 silver to gold and a historical median of around 15:1. Sure, the current 80+:1 is absurd and is driven by the paper markets, but 1:2? No.

I know you're also playing face value in there, but when SHTF those numbers won't matter...even now I don't see 1c on a copper cent, I see .03 dollars of metal (and the more the system continues as it is, the more dollars they will be worth - face value be damned). No person with 2 brain cells would trade you a Morgan dollar for face.

Face Values don't set the Values of Coins, when it comes to Collector Coinage... Actually, the Silver/Gold Ratio will be 10 to 1 in Phase One of the U.S. Monetary Correction... Our Silver Coins will range from $1 to $10 and our Gold Coins will range from $10 to $100... There will be a 100 to 1 Exchange Rate, away from Fiat USD's and into our New and improved Product Line of Silver, Gold, Platinum and Palladium "Coin" backed U.S. Dollars, Cents and Decimal Cents... During the Redemption Period, a person turning in a One Dollar "Bill" will get back a One Cent Coin or One Paper Cent... We will need Decimal Cents to pay for any amount "less" than One Cent... This is when a One Cent Coin will have the Spending Power of One of today's Fiat USD's...
