Sorry to interrupt your video 6:35 🤭 Tim is a great guy to do business with he is the closest one to me and I am not the type to do business online so I’m glad I got the chance to meet Stormey gives me piece of mind to spend money on the internet. All good people here!
Thanks for the great content. You hit on a point i was just talking about which is trading collectibles for more weight. Talked about it briefly in a video this morning.
i think that benjis are a good stacking option, as you can get them near spot, they usually have little wear, and they arenet as boring as kennedys or as pricey as walkers
I'm not a proponent of stacking war nickels. However, I do have a small amount of them that I picked up at a coin show some time ago for $1 each, which is below melt. I'd rather stack 90% and .999 though.
I like all Silver and Gold and to me it's all Fractional. Silver in all types could be used for smaller purchases and Gold of all types could be used for larger purchases. In the event of a complete crash to the Economy I only hope Metals will be the answer for those who have put everything they have into it. Now Collector pieces that fetch really high Premiums I just buy because I like them and never consider those items as part of my stack. Thanks for the share!
I think if times got bad, collectibles won't be worth more than spot price. Therefore, not a wise investment. Anyone refute that? Remember, times must be bad.
I love Morgan's and if I can find any in boxes silver half dollars or if I'm lucky when I buy a lot of 40% half dollars i end up with some 90% halves mixed in 😊
I tried selling 35% and 40% silver coins, can't give them away even under melt and all gold Sovereign coins goes right to the refinery. Not a good seller for me anyway. Thanks for the video guys👍.....Life is good....God Bless
I like having my constitutional hoard but i only have a single war nickel and partial tube of 40%ers ive found. Definitely prefer 90%. I would eventually like to top that tube off but focused on other things right now.
I agree. I always buy with selling in mind. War nickels are very hard to sell. Just like 40% Kennedy's. I frequently see these sell for below spot because nobody really wants them. They also take up too much room for the silver amount.
American gold eagles are 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper. Known as kings gold alloy, and has been used since the 1400s. Gold Krugerrands are 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper. It's interesting to see the color difference in a side-by-side comparison between a .999 gold coin, an AGE, and Krugerrand.
Ive been thinking exactly what this guy is saying about 90% bought by weight. Over a year ive been going thru my collection and have found roosevelt dimes are the best. Ive traded in alot of super slick mercs straight for roosies at my lcs. I told them why but they got so many that love mercs they were fine with it. Quarters are even worse. Basically my rule of thumb is the more surface area the more gets worn off. I still have a decent pile of good walkers , quarters and mercs but none are very slick. Im actually getting ready to sell a bag of slick dimes to my lcs for a few more $ than i paid for them. When prices correct ill get them back and have less slicks. Guess for me i stacked 50 slick mercs next to 50 64 roosevelts and realized i was 12 dimes short in the stack. That was my wake up moment.
I was told by someone who takes metal to a refiner that they dont want less than 70-75% coins. A lot of foregin coins are less than that. They are a lot more work to refine.
When it comes to fractional silver, those war nickels have a place. Folks thought constitutional was junk. Try finding that silver at your local LCS or getting it under spot. If silver moves and has staying power around $30/ ounce. The thinking will evolve.
OUR stacks are where there is a WICKED fire suppression system, its called cinderblock and metal, surrounded a fire rated safe storage, off property!! !.. haaa I thought of a fire.. as worry by 1995! 💱💱WE ARE THE MONEYCHANGERS💱💱I dont normally buy 35% or 40% in general! We all have our plans my plan has been a proven success with physical metals. LIFER stacker here!!
In 1964 Franklin half dollars have been extensively melted for their silver, and many dates are rarer than the mintage figures indicate that's why people should stack also collectors search for certain MS or PRDC graded slabs because that's the closest to guaranteed mintage of your Franklin coin.
@@stephenbassett9451 I never said there was a 1964 Franklin half dollar please re-read my comment until you can understand and then do your own research on why the Franklin half dollars were melted you might find some results.
@@stephenbassett9451 Are you serious why do you think they switch to 40% silver in 1965, 66,/67, 68 and 69 the value of silver was increasing so people started melting 90% silver half dollars for silver content in late1964 and by 1970 has rapidly increased melting because of the value of silver increasing as a coin it's only worth 50¢ but melted much more. Why does this info bother you so much the information is out there.

Haha you’re fine! Happy to have met you!
I appreciate the business! I bought a bunch of silver and some fractional gold today. Stop in if you’d like.
I found a couple of silver nickels from circulation.
Don't forget the old Canadian Sterling! lol

I'm not a fan of Krugerrand gold coins. When paying over 2400, whats 20 more bucks to get and Eagle. Gold Buffalo and Maples are my fav. Nice video.
Thanks to the both of you I was wondering why buy junk silver coins. So I just bought a roll of bu Roosevelt dimes.

You arent wrong

My favorite is 90 percent silver the walking liberty
Dead Kennedys FTW.

Silver is silver. And they’re cheap!
@@vtcoins not a lot of places want them. Not very liquid.
@@TalkingBullion hey TB are you going back to doing UA-cam again? Nice to see you still on love watching your constitutional silver unboxing!
