Scammers are playing the most naive (extremists) with disinformation.

Bay Buchanan (sister of Pat Buchanan and right wing Secretary of the Treasury in the early 1980s) is now part of a promotion for a $2 silver coin.  As if it was legal tender.  They are not marketing to moderates.  Only extremists would be so dumb as to think the Cook Islands are part of the US.

Cook Islands were a British protectorate.  Now an independent nation in association with New Zealand.

Those coins are marketed to easily conned consumers who then 'feel' it is US legal tender.  Buy a clump of silver (quarter troy ounce) worth $7, marked as if worth $2, for $20.  Targeting people duped as if precious metals always create a profit.  Yes, profitable only for a con artist broker who promotes such myths.

Is probably especially profitable now among the many who are in fear.  Justified fear.  But fear never justifies actions.

Always invest only in the future. Then wait a few hundred years.
