World Silver Stacking 101: Pros & Cons Of Foreign Coins As A Silver Investment Beginner's Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Let's think about the pros, cons, and considerations that you want to cover when stacking via world or foreign coins. They are certainly not the basic recommendation that most people give or flock to in terms of buying, but the world has produced a massive amount of silver coins over the years and many are out there, often relatively cheap, to be acquired and collected and stacked with. However, there is a lot less know-how and expertise around the sector, as well as far less liquidity, so it pays to be careful with how you approach it - listen to the video for the full picture.

That is an incredible pile of foreign silver ... great history and value.
Really amazing mix of world coins there. You're living my dream right now.
Thanks!
I’m a foreign junk silver junkie myself. I have small bins of coins that I separate by geographic regions. Some countries like Australia and Mexico get their own tubs. I’m partial to the Aussie .925 coins for their high abundance and purity and Mexican coins due to my heritage.
Yes, apart from U.S. and Canadian, I think Australia .925 is probably one of the most reasonably priced coins for what you are getting. Seems many other foreign countries with high purity silver coinage have more premium attached to them.
I am more of a collector than a stacker so I have a decent sized collection of foreign junk silver. Not expecting to get my money back but am enjoying the journey. You can find a rough value on Numista.
That's super fun - and collecting very different from stacking.
Agree, I think if someone wants to collect foreign silver, or even stack it, they need to go about it not worrying about what you might have to take for it when and if the time to sell comes. Honestly, someone should take the same approach when stacking U.S. Constitutional silver too. There is no guarantee that if you need to sell it, you will make a profit at some point in the future. Personally, I focus mainly on stacking U.S. Constitutional, but I do it because I enjoy looking for the best deal on what I buy, and I look at my stack as a type of savings account while I'm alive.
I could just watch you go through every coin in that been. Love world silver
Lol! That would be a cool hunt!
I don't consider myself a stacker when it comes to foreign silver, but I like the fact that you can get it for a lot cheaper than US, even when accounting for lesser silver content.
alot of coins there have more value than scrap value over here in the uk , we collect coins for coins not as a scrap metal dealer
I definitely enjoy collecting world silver. It’s cool to have little pieces of history from all over the world. Not necessarily as a way to preserve wealth.
I love foreign silver! Will any of this be for sale? There are some really nice pieces in there!
Wow! That is an amazing stack of foreign. My first love in collecting!! Well done, good video. New sub.
I'm a stacker and a collector. I started doing this years ago. Great idea
I always go to the NGC site and check the values, composition, etc as I buy foreign silver. Great help there.
That's cool! Often the values can be slightly overstated, but it's a good source for figuring out relative value.
Idk, I think foreign coins and particularly old foreign constitutional silver coins are gaining in popularity. I know a lot of people that collect it along with American. Of course people still love American more but foreign silver definitely has a place in the market that I think will only grow.
One pro about foreign silver is that people leave it in coinstar machines
Yeah, free Canadian silver dimes!🤘🏼
Great point!
You can also find an occasional .900 fine silver U.S. dime, quarter, and half-dollar; thank goodness the Coinstar rejects them because of their heavier weight. If only the machines would also reject the pre-1983 bronze/copper cents !!! 🤔 🙃 😉
Just now subscribed.
Went to my first coin show ever last Sunday in Columbus Ohio.
First dealer I visited had very nice foreign silver and my first purchases were from this lot...beautiful designs and just love them!!!
Most of my collection will be U.S. coins, but how can you deny the beauty of these foreign coins...I'm with you ;)
Love it, dawg!! So comforting during these perverted final days!! Keep 'em coming!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
i consider foriegn silver treasure....i love it....i stak 999 silver and american junk silver but also (collect) canadian junk. mexican...and many other countries....
True!
I just love when I get them under or at spot, because in my country bars are way over spot and rounds also.
I really like the foreign silver, I try to get some from every country I visit as a souvenir, it has its intrinsic silver value as well as a cool memento piece to reflect upon. I’m looking for the best way to keep and display my collection; I feel like a binder is probably the easiest, but eventually I’d like something more unique
That is really neat! I have a video along the lines of "World Coin Collecting 101" that shows a cool woodworked box that's a fun way to display.
In Switzerland where i live is difficult to find american junk silver and it's expensive. A Walking Liberty or Barber half dollars not under 20 swiss francs. A barber dime at least 15 swiss francs and an ordinary silver quarter 7 swiss francs or more.
In dollars please .
@@vegassincity702
@Vega Guy702
20 swiss francs ~ 22.15 us-dollar, 15 swiss francs ~ 16.61 us-dollar and 7 swiss francs ~ 7.75 us-dollar.
Most swiss silver coins are in 835 silver. 5 francs before 1931 are in 900 silver. 1/2 Franken, 1 Franken and 2 Franken before 1874/75 are sometimes in 800 or 900 silver.
I like the Swiss .835 coins, but they seem to have more premium on them.
@@jzak5723
Not for me but only because i live in Switzerland.
@@cardaveux
Yep.
I think world coins are massively underated. If i can buy them at or below spot, im a happy camper.
🦍🦍🦍🦍✨ PHYSICAL SILVER ✨🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍 keep stackin 😎😎😎💯💯💯💯
Nice collections of silver coins! You have a 10 øre 1875 from Norway in nice condition. Its one of the key dates, and valuable in this condition. The catalogue price, based of your pictures (from a coin dealer in Norway), is in range 1400-2750 NOK. (150-300 US $).
Hey do you sell like little packs of foreign coins cuz I would be interested in buying some
Thanks to foreign coin hunting, I have several 18th century reales, which was the same currency as the pirate's doubloon. The greatest benefit of foreign coin hunting is that you find coins that were minted before the US was even founded.
0:28 5 swiss francs in 835 12,525 gram fine silver (i live in Switzerland and i have over 4 kilogram swiss silver coins with a face value over 1000 swiss francs) ;-)
Wow! About 8 to 8:45 in video...nice Elizabeth, is it a 1/2 crown? And is that a giant Balboa!? Cool!
Great video, although you picked up and showed a few coins from Panama it wasn’t mentioned that these coins are in fact 90% Silver and were minted by the US mint with the same planchets as our coins of the same period. Much easier to spot because the weight and purity is on the coins.
Nice coins Christian! Nice video!
Thanks a bunch!
Wow that’s a lot of silver epic
I like foreign silver, but stick to better known countries, canada, England, france, Australia, etc....
Look for .800 or better on purity.
Makes sense on staying high purity / well known countries for silver investing.
I would not go with anything less than 80% purity either.
What the website I would be interested in know the silver content of different world silver
I love the Canada coin I wish I had them for my book 🙂
Thanks!
How much would it cost for the 1784 8 reale you have?
salamat sa pag share ng collection mo boss godblees po sa channel mo
Hi; I would like to get some Philipene wor coins but do not have a dealer nere me . Do you have any for sell.
V nice coins ❤️
Have you seen a salvadorian colon coin becuase they seem interesting
I have same coins!!
Other than U.S. 90% percent junk silver, I really like Canadian 80% percent junk silver and some of the old Canadian 92.5% percent silver. I think junk silver will eventually have much larger premiums because they do not make it anymore and it has lots of history!
That's interesting - thanks for sharing!
I just recently started branching out into junk silver other than U.S., so I went with Canadian since it is our neighbor country and I have always liked their coin designs up to 1964. The other positive about Canada junk is that I can currently buy it for 16x face at my LCS which is much lower than U.S. junk which is going for 21x.
@@jzak5723 16 x $1 face Canadian 80% is really good! All of my lcs are selling it for 19 x $1 face and U.S. junk silver for 23 x $1 face.
@@jameycollins725
Yes it's a good price, I'll probably go back tomorrow and get more of it. He says not many people coming into his shop are interested in Canadian, which is surprising at that price.
@@jameycollins725
I did go back and get more George VI dimes and quarters to finish up some tubes I had started. Price was still 16x $1 face. I'm liking these Canadian coins more and more, especially because the premium is so much lower than the U.S. silver.
I have this where you buy
In my country I can buy obsolete 80% constitutional silver coins at spot, fine weight. Does that sound like a fair deal? They have seen alot of circulation and have no collector value. I'm buying them for the silver value only.
Not bad! Is it Canada? Less liquid but good for stacking in Canada, I'd imagine!

Silver is silver
From a strictly financial perspective, "stacking" anything other than US Constitutional or .999 fine rounds/coins makes no sense, at least here in the US. In other countries it's a different story of course. World silver goes all over the place for silver alloy and the refineries aren't too happy about getting it, and pay less. Of course if you just like silver coins, then some of the world silver is really nice stuff, and the stackers will look right past the numismatic value of a particular coin because to a lot of them the ONLY measure of value is silver content. Many aren't coin people per se; they're bullion accumulators who are simply grabbing bulk silver for when the economy collapses or whatever. (There are people who do pretty well digging through piles of "junk silver" looking for errors, varieties and scarce dates that the stackers don't know to look for, or care)
Great points!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching, Ross.
Is there a machine that can detect fakes ???
The silver Phillipines coins we made the coins for them
Latv 2ls silv 835
You guys have to make up your minds. Are y'all stackers or coin collectors?
I've been able to pick up junk world silver as low as 40% under spot.
Im not a stacker, just a collector but foreign silver is better than American 90% in my opinion. I still love american 90% but the designs are just so much better on foreign silver lol american is just so boring compared to the rest of the worlds.
Foreign silver easy to buy hard to sell. I do have some. I do think it's beautiful.
Not hard to sell at all on Ebay.
With foreign silver it's too easy to fake as many coin shops don't know right off hand what they are looking at. I would only collect it from English-speaking countries myself.
Interesting - hadn't thought about that
