Where do you pick up junk silver? Paying more over spot for junk silver vs. ASEs doesn't make sense.

I get my stuff at Provident. I pay a little more for Junk because I store it for different reasons. My reasoning is that I am going to need a smaller denomination of "real money" some day. and rather chopping up peices of ASEs, I will be prepared for when someone wants to barter in pre 65 coins. So for what I want I'll pay more.

I also don't care about "being tracked" There is no way that I can be totally incognito about my lifestyle anyways. I am sure my purchases/posts/email is all going somewhere to be tracked anyways. My phone for cripes sake knows more about me than I do. So if it gets to the point where they are going door to door and seizing silver/gold/preps/ammo/guns, we got a bigger problem, and I am hopefully prepared enough to meet that challenge.
I am not an expert, but that is how I see it. You have to think about what more people will recognize in a low tech world. If you are trying to barter in the U.S. won't U.S. coinage me more recognized? Let's say there is no more exchanges or stocks, or USD anymore, and someone wants to give you an ounce of silver for your bottle of Jack. Let's say you are presented with an ASE by one guy, and a 1oz silver bar that has pandas or dragons on it and you don't recognize the maker? Who would you give your bottle of jack to? You can "rack-and-stack" what you store or buy based off of little scenarios like that.
BUT, if you don't believe we are ever going to get to that point, and the USD and world economy is going to be just fine, then get your silver and gold the cheapest way you can.
EDIT: I am going to the tanner for the first time ever this weekend. Maybe I'll pick someone out. :-D

Here's an interesting view of what may be coming (or, more of what's already here) in forced wealth transfer:

Here's a snippet:
We expect that financial repression as well as wealth taxes in various facets will increasingly gain in importance in coming years. We believe this to be a disastrous strategy, as the redistribution will merely buy time, while the structural problems remain unsolved. King World News note: This is an incredibly ominous warning from Stoferle and I suggest all KWN readers around the world take it very seriously while there is still time.

FORCED Redistibution of wealth... Then they start dipping (Social Security is nothing left but IOUs) into people's 401k's (because it is not fair for the working folks to be able to save for retirement and the folks that spend a life mooching off the system cannot save), etc etc
