      You might be interested in a channel called losing Louie. He goes over the best deals on metals from the large dealers. Puts out a vid daily. eBay as well but only from trusted sources. And as far as YT sellers look at vermillion enterprises, corn huskers, minot coins and bullion. 🎉 few others as well. Hopefully others will chime in with them. Congrats🎉❤

    Last year I recieved a set of silver bars with my last name on them for Christmas. I know they paid way over on the premium but I said nothing about that simply because the meaning behind it couldn't be priced. They are not even considered as part of my stack and I absolutely love them.

    From my observation and historical market pattern, there might be a bit of turbulence in the market coming up, but here's the deal: Trying to guess what's going to happen next is less important than spreading your bets when trading and thinking long term. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Laura Brockman whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

    Stacker from Europe here. Love to watch your channel, especially the episodes in Harry´s shop. Decent people, a delight to watch.
    What´s both entertaining and insightful to me are the differences I perceive between US and EU. For you, the Eagles are the most common bullion to stack, despite a usually mentionable premium. We have our "locals" in EU - Britannia, Philharmonics and (less common) the armenian Arche Noah (actually produced and sold by a german mint with concession from Armenia). But we fancy Maples, Krugerrands or Kangaroos, too. Prices are all the same, more or less. But Eagles? Usually available, usually the same or maybe slightly higher prices, but not that sought after as bullion. Not considered a common bullion coin over here, as far as I see. Is that an european thing, or are the Eagles not that popular outside US in general?
    A lot of coins from collecting series, e.g. such as Kookaburra, are only slightly higher in price than the common bullions. Efficiently stacking the metal AND having some collector´s delight easily possible - as long as you don´t go for completing series way backwards, some older years may have a substantial premium, then.
    Keep up the good work, always a gain to watch your episodes!

    Can you explain the acid test for silver? I'm never quite sure on the results. Some say use the silver acid. And, I have seen people use 14k acid to test it.

    • @Steelythestacker
      @Steelythestacker Місяць тому +2

      My experience with the acid is, it works with sterling (.925) to 9999 fine silver best. Absolutely use the silver acid, and the darker red your result the more pure the silver is. I let the acid sit on the stone for quite some time, then wipe it with a pure white paper towel, then you can see the color best. When it comes to any silver under sterling I have had inconsistent results I don't recommend the acid test for Constitutional silver, at least with the acid I bought.

    • @RandolphRelicRecovery
      @RandolphRelicRecovery Місяць тому +1

      @Steelythestacker Thank you! The jewelry I tested with the silver acid turns the paper towel pinkish. I saw Robert Ferguson, a California beach detectorist using 14 k acid. Wasn't sure what that was about. Appreciate the heads up.

    • @Steelythestacker
      @Steelythestacker Місяць тому +1

      @@RandolphRelicRecovery Don't quote me on it but I would guess you are dealing with a sterling if it's that color. If you have a 999 bullion silver coin you don't mind scratching on a stone, you should try it and you can see the difference. One other thing I said in a different post as well, keep in mind that acid only stays fresh for about a year. If you have older acid, more than a year old, you should replace it.

    When I started stacking gold and silver, I didn't know anything about testing. Soon after watching a video about counterfeits, I started getting paranoid about my gold and silver and learned as much as I could about the methods of counterfeiting, and tests to detect them. After an accurate scale and precision vernier, but before you get to expensive verifiers and XRF machines, there are a lot of different tests that can be done, many can be done cheaply or for free... the venerable acid test to test the quality of the metal, the ice test that tests for thermal conductivity of the metal, a magnet tests for an iron core, the ping test to test for resonant frequency of the metal, the magnetic slide tests for paramagnetic or diamagnetic properties, the water displacement density test to measure the average density of an metal... Any one of these methods can be fooled but not all of them together. And lastly, if you have a good relationship with your coin or bullion dealer, they will often test your precious metals for you.

    It can take years for milk spots to show up in silver coins--even those that have been slabbed. Remember that the contamination occurs at the mint. If the cleaning process is compromised, the coin/round could very well exhibit milk spots eventually. Once a contaminated coin/round is exposed to air, the damage has been done. That is why 70's may turn into 69's over time.

    This is why I'm more comfortable dealing with the SLV ETF. No premiums, no fakes or purity/weight issues and no lowballing come time to sell. Market price whether buy or sell. Way easier for beneficiaries to deal with as well. No unscrupulous dealers looking to take advantage of people who may not know what they have.
