46 years just poking along today at 30 ozs. a week. The least I have put aside in my life. As I have had a good run now through life. Never put 1 oz away to get rich. Instead only to retain wealth and provide a nice comfortable retirement. You beginners with less then 10 years of stacking experience keep it going you’ll never regret your collection.
@@TheComicsDen Thanks for the advice. I am buying with cash and 1oz pieces. I do need to learn how to check for authenticity. I did pay alitttle over $4 over spot.
@@TheComicsDen I`m from Canada so we pay about 30% more than the US. The dealer I buy from is cheaper than any online seller I can find. Do generic rounds sell for less? I don`t care about who makes them as long it is good value. Also I pay cash and in Canada we don`t have to clam anything under $1000.
@@marilynbuchfink7062 IF you don't want the government to know you have precious metals, then a paper trail is something to avoid. A secondary risk is any bad actors within the transaction chain who could theoretically use the information to come and steal your PM. Unless you're buying a LOT, that's a lower risk than the guy who stakes out the LCS and follows people home to pick his burglary/robbery targets. Most such lowlifes are more likely to hang around ATMs, just as there is more risk that someone inside the transaction chain will steal your identity than somehow knock off your house.
Great advice for beginners! Anyone who knows a young stacker or someone who's just getting interested in stacking needs to share this video with them. Thanks for the quality content! 👍
Great tips as always! Junk silver is a great way to get started since you can purchase in smaller amounts with less premium than fractional bullion. It still is the primary thing I stack so far as I can find it on a deal.
Have an exit strategy. After 8 years just now finding out what I can get for my silver so I can trade up for gold. Luckily the info on this channel and in the community is pretty spot on. Never thought much about selling silver ever.
I greatly appreciate your videos. I'm just starting out and found you online. I watch your videos one after another. You have really changed my mind on how and what to buy. I just wanted to say thank you. Without you giving your time to help educate me I would be completely lost.
As a new stacker, started maybe 2 weeks ago, up to 15ish oz. All you’re videos have been more than useful. Wish I had done some research before buying some stuff like Eagles. Money towards rounds would have been better spent. Live and learn though.
For a cheap safe put an exterior grade door on a closet or bedroom and install an electronic deadbolt. It works good & you can have multiple combinations for authorized users. 👍👍
9:00 We had the foresight when we bought our house (which needed finishing) to buy a safe from a hotel furniture surplus store. So all my metals are tucked away in a solid safe anchored in concrete - whose key lives in the gun safe. ❤️
I have 6 5 gallon buckets weighing 650 lbs.+ of constitutional silver coins pre 1965. Only quarters dimes and halfs. Been collecting since the age of 5 1950 - 1970 were the best years because the 90% coin age was still in circulation in quantities. I was a paperboy and I had multiple large routes and skim of every silver coin I could get my hands on. I have over 20,500 troy ozs. of constitutional silver. I have over 70,000 ASE'S in sealed mint monster boxes. I have over 17,000 troy ozs. in silver bullion 5 - 10 - kilo - 100 troy oz. .999 bars. I have over 22,000 troy ozs. in silver .999 sovereigns. I been stacking almost 70 years I am 77. I trade silver for gold sovereigns only no bullion for this guy. Bottom line gold is the metal of choice. I was buying gold in Saigon Vietnam back in 66-69 two tours of duty on the black market from the Viet Minh Viet Cong for 35.00 a troy oz. they dealt with me because I paid in American dollars which was illegal if caught. I bought hundreds of ozs. and had a friend send them to my sister's home back in the states.
Started my silver stacking around late last year, but now with everything considered, you have given me the best idea how to stack. It works for me, especially being that I barely have enough for me. Thank you Silver Dragon! 💙👍😁
Wow your voice sounds like a kid in this video compared to recent videos. It's giving me a good laugh this morning. Hope you don't take offense, it's just the way things go in life... we start young and inexperienced and then old and wise. As for me at 61, I'm old, maybe a little wise, and just beginning with buying silver and gold. I'm the kid in this silver and gold thing we're all doing and you're the one with the experience. I watch several of your videos each day, learning more and more, and I thank you for that. Really love the videos at Harry's shop and when you visit other shops, especially the Tucson AZ shop, that place looked really cool. Take care.
i've known about people that have stored silver/gold in banks and companies that hold precious metals. it's a dicey thing cause should the company or bank go out of business, the customer can lose the metals to claims from the company or bank. I would always keep your own safe. I 100% agree with silver dragons on that.
This is very helpful. I have no idea what I am doing and I don't know anyone that is metal collector than I am aware of. I took notes and I bookmarked this video. Thanks much.
All great points! The only question I would ask is about exit strategy. When I began a few months ago, once I began to understand premiums and spot price, that was my sole focus. In my area (South Austin, Texas) it seems that the local LCS establishments either are elite high capital requirement bullion dealers or places I wouldn't necessarily trust. It seems as though there's no in-between trustworthy LCS places like you and Yankee are fortunate enough to have. Thus, finding a place to eventually sell off some of my stack is going to be a real challenge.
I would consider purchasing or selling to the larger companies such as Apmex or US gold bureau. The overhead is usually a bit lower for the transaction.
Great Information. If I had only saved Junk Silver when I was much younger I would be very well off. But it's not too late. Silver and Gold, especially Silver is why undervalued. Have a great day.
My boss got me into stacking recently and to start me out he sold me 5 maple leaf's for $75.00. your videos will be a big help in the future. Thanks.....
Very helpful comments. I am starting to buy silver Brittania coins in small , affordable amounts , and was encouraged by the way you similarly began . In the U.K. they are legal currency and free from Capital Gains Tax ( I THINK !) . Best wishes .
Start young. Low premium! Junk silver. Rounds. I agree completely! Thanks! Texas Precious Metals, offers free shipping for all purchases. No minimum, with insurance. Good prices.
@@SilverDragons47 I’m glad you reminded me about MCM. I actually had placed two orders last month. I was thinking they both were ordered from MCM. When I got an email confirmation from the one that wasn’t MCM I called to question the shipping cost before I realized what I had done. Thanks again!!
Thanks to YT and people like you, We was schooled by the best Stackers around. The worst mistake we have made in the last 3 month when we started stacking, is buying from Silver Towne! We watched a lot of YT videos before we spent the first $. Even checked videos to see if the online bullion dealer was legit!
Great video! I have been seriously thinking about buying gold & silver for a while now, but didn't even know where to start. Your video was informative and is great for new comers. The only problem was when taking notes you talked way to fast so I paused a lit!! Lol. Thank you for your video. I will be buying them now!!
Highly unlikely that local coin shops sell fake metals. They are required by law to include a specially signed receipt for every purchase. The shopkeeper doesn't want to get sued because their patron actually checks the authenticity of the metal they bought. This is more a problem with private sellers or handshake deals.
One oz at a time is what I did and love it over the 2 months since I started I’ve gathered 34.5 oz of silver and 5.5 grams of gold and a few goldbacks and very much agree with heavy safe lol 😅
I started about a year ago and find junk silver and scrap gold jewelry far below melt value. The scrap gold will be tested and sorted and melted at that karat and sold to jewelers at market plus 10%. Holding on the junk silver and bars. Always take a metals tester when you buy at auctions but good deals there.
@Shane Ashby 1oz Boston TeaParty / Don’t Tread on me coin 👊🏻👍🏻🤓🇺🇸 I REALLY wanted that USS Constitution ship coin , if I had an up to date balance of my paypal account I would have bid much higher !!!
MD has taxes on less than 1000 purchases :( i remember paying with a credit card for a tube of eagles. So i payed credit fees and taxes at my lcs and it ended up being like 7 over spot. Spot was 16 at the time so im actually in the clear lol
I would never recommend a bank to store my gold. Safety deposit boxes are not FDIC insured, if a bank closes, or brought by another bank, it might take a while to get to your safety deposit box. If the government decides to have a bank holiday, they could essentially take your gold. I would recommend a heavy fire proof safe in a well hidden place in your home. I also have a question. When you go to a new lcs, do you bring a magnet and scale with you and do a ping test? Besides that, great video as usual!
Though I do agree with you on dollar cost averaging, I disagree with the amount per purchase, I recommend to meet the threshold of 1500 dollars per purchase. #1 reason is there are no taxes above 1500 dollars. # 2 if you cannot save up 1500 dollars, chances are you will end up needing to sell your stack to pay the bills. #3 The larger the purchase the lower per coin cost, this can be substantial, Apmex typical spread is 2 dollars. Right now per 1500 dollars the spread is equal to 4 ounces or 37 ounces per monster box . that's my 2 cents
Also I think that the ping test app is excellent, costs a few dollars and compliments other testing methods. Many government bullions also have security features such as radial lines and micro engravings
@@SilverDragons47 fake coins are capable of passing the sigma where a ping test can pick up on it No test is completely full proof except for melting it down 😆
I bought my first gold and silver recently went for a 10g gold bar a gold Canadian maple coin 1kg bar of silver and 6 silver Britannia coins very happy with my order but will be stacking silver rounds and bars I think.
FYI. Watched a video on heavy safes, digital key pads were easy to break into with an earth magnet. 30 seconds is to fast. A much bigger magnet than the one you're using though. I'm looking for a safe for my guns, silver and coins.
When you weigh a coin, shouldn't you also verify that it corresponds to the expected volume? I suppose that you need to have a special vessel that makes it easier to read, something with a very narrow spout beyond the room for the 1OZ coin + water. I suppose a caliper can be used, but since coins aren't completely flat, its not as precise as submerging it.
My local coin dealer sells tarnished American Silver Eagles for one dollar over spot. What is the typical buyback on silver that is tarnished like an American silver eagle?
Thank you for the interesting video. Do you own gold and silver in a particular ratio, eg 10 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold? If so, what is that ratio and your rationale? Thanks.
Very helpful, I'm getting ready to start stacking. You make it easy, at least for me, to understand the do's and don'ts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. ✌🐲
Great video my friend very helpful information. I thank you for taking the time to share with us what you have learned and what you wish you had known as a beginner collector. Hope you have a great day Best wishes
Thanks, I plan to make my initial junk silver purchase today. I plan to invest at least $150-200 and want to make sure I make the right choice as far as who I buy from. I'll be shopping online bc I live in a pretty remote area but I always research the reputations of online businesses before I spend my $ so I'm hoping it goes well. Is 15x face value pretty acceptable rn? I last heard a junk silver dime ia worth appx. $1.40 so 15x sounds pretty good to me but I know very little of this game. I appreciate the videos!
I'm a beginner, I enjoy this video. Is the spot value and face value the same and where would this tool here like me go to look for prices of silver and gold so and can gage it when to buy and not to
I know I’m late to this video.. maybe I’ll comment on a recent one too.. any inexpensive coin scales you can recommend? The Internet is such a hit or miss. No clue how they end up with the ratings, especially when quality is really mehhh
When stocks go down silver and gold should go up in price, and vice versus. Am I not right? Why are they both dropping at the same time!? Manipulated much?
@@SilverDragons47 Hands down the government/ banks control silver and gold price by manipulating the market with printed money. JP Morgan is a prime example. Only a matter of time in my opinion until it explodes.
Great info. Sure gonna help newbies! The most important thing to help you get there faster and safer is to find a good LCS and develop a relationship with them. My guy buys and sells for weight. (Unless a rare item). So I get to pick up Maple Privy for the price of generic!! That's the best! I got Superman Shield on par with Buffalos. In any case, Kudos for this great vid. I hope those starting see it before making costly mistakes. Cause not everyone out there is honest. Cheers
Do you reccomend having an "x weight value" to keep as a stockpile? As in, you should keep 20-40ozt on hand and once you get over that weight start selling /trading the "excess"? Hope this makes sense.

What do you mean by gold to silver ratio? I'm just starting to buy, I have about 15oz in silver. 5 grams of gold. And 5 grams of platinum....
Start in 1981 like @Yankee Stacking 👌
I wasn’t even born for another decade 😂🔥🐉
I was born in 81 lol
2001 anyone? 👀🤣
I must be around his age…old. My pocket change is collectable! 😂
Great video and very informative! Thank you
awesome thanks so much for watching my friend! 🔥🐉
Good video. Thank you.👍
Great video my friend very helpful information. I thank you for taking the time to share with us what you have learned and what you wish you had known as a beginner collector. Hope you have a great day
Best wishes
awesome thanks so much for watching my friend! 🔥🐉
I got mine hidden in a poker chip case from wAlmart
Then put in family game closet with other games
Or is it 🤔 🤔
Great report, I wish I heard this when I started. I'm sure you helped alot of people!
thanks so much my friend! that is the goal 👍🏽🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 i am part - sadly - of the newbies... Never new it existed before. damn...
How can I buy silver if they charge tax for under 1,500 purchase? I like to buy often but I can't spend so much every month 😔
oh do you live in California? we don’t have any sales tax in Oregon 🤷🏽♂️🔥🐉
Purchased last night The Fisch to verify the gold American Eagle Coins, do you recommend?
Love your videos just started stacking thanks..
I have never used it before 🤷🏽♂️ hopefully it’s a good product! 🔥🐉
Thanks, I plan to make my initial junk silver purchase today. I plan to invest at least $150-200 and want to make sure I make the right choice as far as who I buy from. I'll be shopping online bc I live in a pretty remote area but I always research the reputations of online businesses before I spend my $ so I'm hoping it goes well. Is 15x face value pretty acceptable rn? I last heard a junk silver dime ia worth appx. $1.40 so 15x sounds pretty good to me but I know very little of this game. I appreciate the videos!
I'm a beginner, I enjoy this video. Is the spot value and face value the same and where would this tool here like me go to look for prices of silver and gold so and can gage it when to buy and not to
I know I’m late to this video.. maybe I’ll comment on a recent one too.. any inexpensive coin scales you can recommend? The Internet is such a hit or miss. No clue how they end up with the ratings, especially when quality is really mehhh
Awesome video thanks for sharing.
When stocks go down silver and gold should go up in price, and vice versus. Am I not right? Why are they both dropping at the same time!? Manipulated much?
no they go down together at first... same thing happened in March 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 Hands down the government/ banks control silver and gold price by manipulating the market with printed money. JP Morgan is a prime example. Only a matter of time in my opinion until it explodes.
Most banks/investor will sell to cover their margin calls when the price drops. Is what I’ve heard at least. This is often followed by a trend up
Very good points, SD. Well done.
thanks so much my friend! 🔥🐉
Buying silver definetly is an addiction.. with the prices beginning to go up i might start too load up on junk silver
There is no coin shop in my area 😢
A dollar over spot I’d buy everything they have up here in Canada we’re looking at anywhere from $8.50 to $10 over spot.
Does silver need to be stored individually, in tubes, etc.? Do you combine the metals when you buy from different online sellers or does it matter.
What up silver dragons 🐉!
hello my friend! 🔥🐉
If your thinking long term, minimum 10oz bars or 1 Kg bar ( Silver ) if you can.
I’m sooo fed up of silver coins milk spotting, mints really have to sort this out.
Definitely a good video for beginners! 🌋
thanks so much my friend! 🔥🐉
How can you weigh it if its in a container? And would it work on that machine?
Always enjoy the vids, SD.
thanks so much! 🔥🐉
All great advice! Thanks!!
Great info. Sure gonna help newbies! The most important thing to help you get there faster and safer is to find a good LCS and develop a relationship with them.
My guy buys and sells for weight. (Unless a rare item). So I get to pick up Maple Privy for the price of generic!! That's the best! I got Superman Shield on par with Buffalos.
In any case, Kudos for this great vid. I hope those starting see it before making costly mistakes. Cause not everyone out there is honest. Cheers
for sure and that is a great LCS you got there! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 I luvs that place LMAO
Do you reccomend having an "x weight value" to keep as a stockpile? As in, you should keep 20-40ozt on hand and once you get over that weight start selling /trading the "excess"?
Hope this makes sense.
Please rephrase your question.
