Thank you for this tutorial, this is why I buy my silver from you, I went to 3 other shops before I found you & ever since I have never been anywhere else, customer for life.
Investors are drawn to gold for several reasons: its long-standing history as a store of value and medium of exchange, its effectiveness as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its scarcity compared to other commodities. Gold also provides diversification benefits, as it typically has a low correlation with traditional assets like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to recognize that investing in gold carries certain risks and may not suit every investor. It’s essential to assess your financial objectives, risk tolerance, and overall financial situation before making any decisions.
Personally, I find gold to be a solid investment and plan to keep increasing my holdings to recover past losses. While silver, equities, and digital assets also offer good opportunities, my collectibles don’t play the same role in my strategy. Defining clear investment goals and educating yourself about your chosen investment types is crucial for long-term success.
Yes, gold is an excellent investment and a strong hedge against the declining value of the dollar. I’ve held a position for some time, and I’m especially thankful for my advisor’s rapid adjustments in response to market shifts-without that, my losses could have been substantial.
Rebecca Lynne Buie has consistently been my top recommendation. She’s widely recognized for her expertise in financial markets and has a strong track record. I highly recommend her.
Great explanation. In the U.S. during the last few months one thing has become clear. Buyback, local, premium or deluxe, they all have one thing in common. When you sell, you will get spot, if you are lucky.
I love a nice buyback bar .. I have a beautiful dinged Perth mint reverse swan but not that big … love it also have premium ones, if I’m buying I choose based on reason for purchase. I love me the old character bars 🥰
Thanks for the education. Been stacking for a while, but always can use the education. I try to get a some from the four categories with the focus on the premium category as I see them as being easier to move with the least hassle; however, I do a little of deluxe premium because there are times you can get a little extra from them when you go to secondary market with no "middle man."
Thanks again for some information new to the game and trying to obtain information. My question l live in Nt Qld do I just ring too see if there are buybacks available and I guess it is a lucky dip? Cheers.
The best part of buybacks is the lucky dip component. I'll always take buyback/secondary market silver and gold if it's available. I've picked up some real gems including some high premium items and interesting foreign stuff
I tend too buy a mixed bag I like new silver and am not so worried with the brand it’s what catches my eye but I also like a buy back as it has character with the dints and scratches and tells a story about who’s had it where or what it’s been stored and some times the toning is beautiful my favourite buy back I have gotten ages ago was an old Perth mint left facing swan bar .
No doubt the best silver to stack because it is an investment at the end of the day is low premium silver bars I sold a whole bunch of coins just this week at bullion now I’m Halton get spot but gee I bought these coins at way over spot it’s just the way it is with high premium silver, p.s gday oscar did tell Michael he needs to do something about aircon at bullion now it was like a sweat shop there on Tuesday lol
Australian dealers can do whatever they like. If you don't like their premiums, you're free to shop for your silver in the USA and have it shipped to Australia.
The Perth Dragon one dollar rectangular coins are getting a fairly high premium in the US (which I paid.... because they are gorgeous) and the new Perth Swan/Kangaroo bars are some of the best looking bars available. The engravers at that mint have got some mad talent.
I like buy backs. I am new to the metals, and just the swings I have seen the past few months, make buying the dip really good. I have noticed 1kg silver bars do offer the lowest premium of 75 cents USD over spot when on sale. So personally I keep an eye on weekly deals from online retailers, and when the dip happens, pull the trigger. When Silver does go to the moon, premium wont matter. An ounce of ugly silver bar will fetch the same as an American Silver Eagle, which is exactly why I stay away from Silver Eagles. I just want cheap cost effective silver to stack for when silver goes to the moon. Kookaburras is where I do splurge. All the above reason and logic goes out the door 😎
@ptaeiy no I live in Texas. I have only been in metals for like 3 months. I think they were paying $10,$12 above spot last year? What I am referring to is when silver went to $50 an ounce. An ASE was the same as any oz of silver, as far as selling.
28 days and counting….. who is going to the 2023 Key West Fantasy Fest? October 20th to 29th. This year‘s theme is “Uniforms and Unicorns” 200 years of sailing into fantasy. The theme reflects the Florida Keys 2023 bicentennial. It’s to celebrate 200 years of the United States Navy in the Florida Keys.
@@frankabler That's your opinion and you are welcome to it. Johnson Mathey and Englehardt bars are highly collectible and sell at collectible prices. You are free to pay and collect what you like, just as people who seek out and buy antique silver bars are free to pay for what they like.
@@frankabler That simply isn't true (at least in the US). If a local dealer tries that move, walk out the door. The big online dealers do pay premium prices for the collectible bars and coins because they know they'll get it back when they sell them.
@@titanuranusJM Bullion sells 1 oz Engelhard Silver Bars for 40.65 and purchases them OTC for 25.41. Sure, they pay a little bit more over spot for them ($1.90) but look how much they're reselling them to the public for. If I purchase one for 40.65 I will only get 25.41 on the resale back to them. That's a complete rip-off for the consumer. All other online dealers have similar pricing structures. Like I said, Engelhard and Johnson Matthey bars are just a scam. Now if a consumer is able to retail these bars by themselves and get a price close to 40.65, then that's a different story.
The "Germania" name comes from the Roman Empire, that referred to anything east of the Rhine River and north of the upper and middle Danube River as "GERMANIA". This would today include Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. Their coins and bars are second to NO ONE and have superior anti-counterfeiting and security features. They are LMBA certified and (at least in the US) not significantly more expensive than their competition. Their products are beyond reproach and when I order Germania bars, I know I am getting a top quality product. And no, I do not work for and am not related to anyone at Germania. I am just a very happy customer.
U.S. silver and gold eagles are hands down the single best thing to stack. America produces the world’s currency. American eagles are US gov backed and command respect.
Thank you for this tutorial, this is why I buy my silver from you, I went to 3 other shops before I found you & ever since I have never been anywhere else, customer for life.
In America, myself and others think the Pearth Mint products are premium Au and Ag.
Also American, and agree! Perth Mint are the top of the very good ones!
I once managed to get a really nice pamp suisse bar with a certificate for buy back price. Really happy with yhat one 👌

I'm new to all of this. Where can I find a fiduciary advisor? Do you have any recommendations?
Rebecca Lynne Buie has consistently been my top recommendation. She’s widely recognized for her expertise in financial markets and has a strong track record. I highly recommend her.
Thank you for the recommendation. I looked her up, sent her an email, and I'm hoping to hear back soon!
Excellent tutorial Michael!
This will help a LOT of new stackers. :-)
Premium low = high stack.
Very well explained
Being semi new to stacking, this is much appreciated. Cheers michael
Thanks for this video Michael. This Info is invaluable.
Thanx good information to know
As someone who only recently started stacking I appreciate these kind of educational videos.
Well done. Pitched excellently for beginners and the curious.
Buy Buy Buy!

Great video Michael!!!
100% Michael it’s always knowledgeable hearing your thougths
I like Sunshine as it has the SI security feature on the reverse.
Great video ..Cheers..
Best to stick with Royal Canadian Mint and not have to worry.
So are buy backs in some sort of order when a person comes in or would you give a regular customer a "nicer" buy back bar?
"nice" customers get "nicer" bars .... "nice" idea....
You'll never know. Be nice to the staff. 😂😂😂
@@markbainbridge5654 thats a nice statement😂
Excellent delivery of sound info!
I like buying high premium buy backs
Why not the best of both worlds?
😂
Very good
Hi Michael, That was Great info and if I win lotto I'll be down to buy the Melb Bars. cheers. Stephen.
Great display buyback all the way I like the surprise
Informative and useful for new starters
Nice work mate
Taz Oz
Great explanation, thank you.
I recently acquired some one troy ounce find silver bars that are three nines what is the difference between three nines and four nines.
Makes me want to buy a kilo bar 😂

If i sell metals am i subject to capital gains tax?
yes if you tell the gov lol
No. Becasue you always lose money buying and selling silver, unless you're a dealer.
@@frankabler SPOT ON!!!!!
wish you guys were in the UK :)
These videos are fantastic and more would be appreciated in the future. 😊 You must win the award back from ABC.
Please tell me if a box of 500 2025 Canadian Silver Maple Leafs 1 oz. at $2.50 over spot is a good or great deal? Thank You Much!
Relaxing vid and low nice music👍
How much price difference would there be between a buy back and a deluxe version of the same bar size?
Look up Scottsdale stackers vs buy backs
No doubt the best silver to stack because it is an investment at the end of the day is low premium silver bars I sold a whole bunch of coins just this week at bullion now I’m Halton get spot but gee I bought these coins at way over spot it’s just the way it is with high premium silver, p.s gday oscar did tell Michael he needs to do something about aircon at bullion now it was like a sweat shop there on Tuesday lol
how much is aus wide postage per kg ?
Premiums have/are starting to really fall in the USA. Australian dealers need to follow, most premiums here are still too high on many things.
The supermarkets blame it on “Inflation”
@@melbournestackeryeah, while they make record profits *facepalm*.
@@jamesdoe3713Profit inflation.
Buy gold if you want to have a lower premium %.
Australian dealers can do whatever they like. If you don't like their premiums, you're free to shop for your silver in the USA and have it shipped to Australia.
I love my Perth mint bars
The Perth Dragon one dollar rectangular coins are getting a fairly high premium in the US (which I paid.... because they are gorgeous) and the new Perth Swan/Kangaroo bars are some of the best looking bars available. The engravers at that mint have got some mad talent.
Personally, i do not give a flying duck, my silver bars are sealed, looked at them once, than stored...maybe when im ready to die look at them again..
He basically explains why its a bad idea to physically hold bars. Because of the spread between buying and selling.

Sorry, silver will never go to the moon. That's just scammers trying to sell you silver. Better chances with lottery tickets.
@@frankabler It has before, and the pre I’m never mattered. Hence why I stay away from stacking anything with high premium.

Still have to get myself a 1kg bar...😂

One doesnt just sell a vintage, J Mathey kilo bar for spot melt! Ever!
Silver is just silver, mate! Premium vintage bars are just a scam.

@@titanuranus Dealers will sell them at collectible prices but they will repurchase them from you at no more than spot. That's the problem.

I just found out that Germania Mint ain't in Germany. It's in Poland.

Buy backs for me any bands cheaper the better
U.S. silver and gold eagles are hands down the single best thing to stack. America produces the world’s currency. American eagles are US gov backed and command respect.
I will stick with Scottsdale mint.
First 😊
Royal Canadian mint worlds best.
My last 3 kg bars have been buybacks from BN and never disappointed.
Countries with the best gold/silver mints.....
1. Australia
2. Canada
3. UK
can any one tell me is silver would go up if a world war started
Idk but if we waged war against the werewolves silver is going to become very valuable, as our ammunition will need to be made out of it.
