I don't see how are you going to persuade somebody who has something real like food, energy or clothes you need that these old worn coins are worth more than what is written on them. "Son, it says 25 cents right there on the coin you gave me so why should I believe you that it's really $10? I'll just keep my jerry can of gasoline thankyouverymuch".
For sure. But if you aren't buying silver and gold, how likely are you to have the food, clothes, off grid energy and gasoline?
a dystopian world the value of precious metals go DOWN relatively to essential goods,
I assume this is not serious. If you haven't prepared your defense, you are buying for someone else.
I don't see the correlation. It's perfectly normal to have shelter, food and means to defend yourself but no precious metals (not counting the wedding ring).
It is burdersome to check precious metals for purity now, it will be exponentionally harder to do so in the preppers dream world of "who was nothing will become everything".
when someting that used to be worth a small fortune before SHTF was being exchanged literally for a loaf of bread.
So the time to AMASS precious metals is AFTER SHTF, not in preparation for it.

The idea of surviving 6 months sitting on a bag of beans and a box of gold bricks with a shotgun in a suburban house amid total societal collapse is a fun excercuse in mental masturbation,
I can tell you who will be looking to acquire more gold and silver during a collapse, people who are prepared, will easily survive the collapse, and are already thinking about what happens when we rebuild.
I forgot about cheap whiskey also being a good barter item!
When society starts to recover, then expect a new currency by a new stable government which will repeat of the paper or fiat currency cycle.
