eBay has released an infographic comparing gold and silver buying across the US by state.
While it is no surprise that California, Texas, and Florida lead the way for total sales, in per capita sales, Alaska, Wyoming, Nevada, Hawaii, and Montana lead the way. Not exactly the leading financial centers of the US there- at least prior to a US dollar collapse. It seems the average back country prepper and stacker is more educated on the current financial system than those living in the financial hubs of the US.
