I've been buying 90% lately for barter when SHTF later on this year. Sold almost all my generic a few weeks ago to pay for a cabin on my remote 10 acres. My wife pointed out that generic would only be effective barter with other stackers. 99% of people out there wouldn't put any value on it, but people know our coinage used to be silver. Mercury dimes in particular stand out as something old, cool, and comparatively valuable. Besides MD, I've got 90 silver quarters in a velvet bag, and LOVE the jingle they make.
Great vid 🔥🙏 I finally got the una&the lion and the three graces and both 10oz 007 bars ,And just picked up a 10oz pamp sussie lady fortuna bar as well 🔥
Knowing that our stack will eventually be liquidated (by me or our kids or grandkids) at an LCS or other dealer at close to that future spot price, my criteria for silver stacking is weight & purity. Only a few collectible pieces.
Still, as inexpensive as bars are (with regard to premiums vs. coins), it's helpful to grab bars from mints with well-known names, or even an occasional vintage-name bar (like Engelhard) if you can snag a good deal.
Relating to those previously not interested in silver and are cashing in their fiat investments, trusts and retirement funds they will want standard recognizable coins and bars.
I hate that for some reason I really like the expensive stuff. Ild Spanish 8reals, Morgan's, peace, libertads ect. Im probably going to start moving to bars. But I really love constitutional.
That's why I like vintage silver as well, I get excited about it! Buying generic weight is great but it's old hat if you have been stacking for years.10 ounce bars🔥🔥
Dude its common sense. If you stack silver . You buy the cheapest silver you can buy. Its not rocket science. Me personally i collect silver and i could careless about spot price.
I dont collect much high premium anything. Low cost silver for me. When it comes time to sell I hear "Silver is Silver to me" so many times it just isnt worth it for me to pay a lot. New metal - Expensive Secondary Market Metal - Slightly older, used, dinged up - Less Expensive Vintage - Really old, beat to heck - Expensive again! Isn't it funny though. The metal isn't affected, it is still just as good regardless of age or shape it's in. I installed a Vintage Tag on my rear end... waiting for a collector. So far no takers. 😂
Probably for some . I’ve seen others get very discouraged paying high premiums because of FOMO or “ silver just not pulling its weight” and not sticking with it and selling off. Kind of depends if they have it in them in the first place. Thanks sal
In my opinion when it comes to silver there is so many ways that work it just depends on your situation. Peer-to-peer vintage, collectibles,, low mintages, set runs. Generic low of the low to LCS, Pawn shops. It just depends on your situation who you know and where you're located at.Great video 🇺🇲🦅⚖️
If you can get 90% silver for a decent price, you can't go wrong with that...I picked up 56 1964 Quarters today. I've been stacking 90% since silver was $15 per ounce...back then you could get 90% at close to melt...I remember buying 90% Roosevelts on eBay for under melt back then. I have some 10 ounce bars myself, my favorite one is the Provident Prospector 10 ounce bar with the old timer miner and his mule beside him...they carry a premium nowadays. I guy in my area bought over 100 of those when silver was $15...I remember him paying $160ish each. They sell for $300-$370 each now on eBay.
I have a baaaad taste for high premium stuff. Cool show pieces. Honestly, watching and listening to you has really helped me keep that in check. Thanks bro! Good to hear you!
Guys like you are more collectors, which I can’t understand when it comes to something like silver or gold, but also it’s your life. I buy silver as a savings account incase something happens to me. My wife can sell it to cover bills during the legal stuff like life insurance, my investments etc.
@@TheBajamin Ooh I do to. I just like the cool stuff that is made and I like to support the creators of the awesome art. It's a lot about the community for me too which HAS kinda became my life. My favorite things that I have stacked are the awesome members of this community.
I love 10 oz bars, especially the Brittanias. The new Mercury bars are nice, and I got a few of those now. Ive been focusing on gold more. I think it has a better chance of 20% increase in 5 years.
I love the 10 oz bars too, and my buying is what is closest to spot most of the time, Eagles or bars. Advantage of 1 ounce silver is selling it can be easier, but I still lean to the bars.
I'm in Canada and our exchange rate is 1.34 CAD to every USD. I've been trying to keep my silver to under $40 CAD an ounce. Most of the time I succeed. I wish I could buy silver in the twenties 😢.
JUMP OVER THE BORDER AND GET WHAT YOU WANT IMHO. THEN YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IN GAS,TIME, ETC. TO SEE IF ITS WORTH IT TO TAKE THE ROAD TRIP. PERSONALLY I HAVE TO RUN FROM WI,USA TO ILLINOIS WHY? WE IN WI HAVE A 5.5% TAX SUCKS BUT ITS WORTH IT TO ME SO WHO KNOWS? JUST AN IDEA
75% of my stack is 10 ounce bars, mostly because of the price available (51% off premiums) when I purchased them. And though I do NOT think there will be much if any silver utilized for bartering in most future SHTF scenarios, the rest of my stuff are rounds and junk silver... just in case. Kilos and 100 ounce bars, no. Just not liquid enough. And try bartering with a 100 ounce bar... what are you after, a tractor?
feel better. thats one thing we all have in common unfortunately... needing meds at some point. binds us together as a species I guess. Enjoy your videos. Would like to see what you do for PM "go boxes/bags" debating about how to best separate my stack... how much gold to silver etc. Gold is obviously much lighter but also pricey. I'm not one that goes for end of world stuff, but moving, leaving in a hurry due to a natural disaster makes that a legit thing for everyone. Stay well!
I was looking for maples at one of my lcs on Saturday to finish a tube. 30 bucks for maples. That's crazy. 10 ounce nadir bars were 26 an ounce. For that price, I could also get a tube of mercury dimes and stay in my budget. 13.5 ounces total instead of 12. Guess which way I went.
My last few purchases have been generic 10 oz bars. The deals are just too good! I just paid $221 and $231 for 10 oz bars. I only pay high premiums for collectables, and those purchases are few and far between.
I am a bit of a prepper also and have several 10oz. bars but I really like the constitutional, mostly because it's widely known and second because its not being made anymore, what do you think about stacking junk silver as a prep for barterability?
wrong, the world is consuming more silver than comes out of the ground. Only 800 million ounces mined globally per year...thats not very much at all...silver is getting scarce. There is less than one ounce per person on earth...thats very rare!
@@bobsilver3983 This is why I feel silver won't move...If the world needs more silver the price will rise and people will sell silver and the price stops rising..USA is holding its own reserve that's why I say we are silver heavy people haven't sold in years and a lot will sell at a loss or slight gain not covering premiums nevermind inflation...this is why I say it could be many more years
It's the old stacking vs collector dilemma/trap. You know you shouldn't be buying high premium silver but you can't resist. If you buy high premium stuff, try to have at least a good chance that the collector stuff can hold it's higher premium value. Often, in order for you get the money back out of high premium silver you are going to have sell it person to person route.
I never buy the big money silver. Anything clows to spot is good silver to stack in my opinion. Bro silver gold bull has ten oz bare at spot deal right now check it out. Thumbs up.
Uma & the Lion = Sweet .... As for my stack , it is very diversified. From the beautiful bars to bullion rounds to soveriegn Maple & *ASE as well as a little constitutional. The rest is comprised of a few collectibles . Last run for PM in April and tben its all crypto accumilation until the market tells me otherwise.
I’m a firm believer that the cheapest bullion isn’t always the best bullion to stack. If generic buffalos are $1 above spot and engelhard or jm bars are $3 above spot, I’d take the vintage bars every time despite a 3x higher premium. I’m one of those types who is fixated on what he likes to collect and I will try to find a good value, but for me, silver is not just silver and the cheapest silver isn’t always the best silver to stack just like the most expensive silver isn’t always the best silver to stack. 10oz bars and larger are a great way to avoid obscene premiums while still collecting something more desirable than pure generics.
@@user-tn7hc4ww3j then, by that logic, if everything costs the same, the better strategy would be to buy what you like or buy as much as you can afford since everything is priced at a level playing field. My LCS prices everything at quite a competitive premium as well, but they rarely have nice 'vintage' or collectible pieces on hand. Availability definitely depends on your locality!
I ask because I’ve never lost money on gold but with silver if I would to sell at the wrong time or purchase at the wrong time I could easily lose money. But with that said I’ve actually made great money on silver by buying at the lows and selling a few dollars higher in spot price. I think many of us stackers make the mistake of buying at the wrong time . For me I believe in gold more then most stackers because I’m always in the green with gold but if silver is purchased at the right time it can be very rewarding. This is why I talk about changing up my stacking strategy so often on my channel. Because there’s definitely a wrong and right time to buy both . There definitely needs to be a bit of strategy and not buy out of FOMO . There’s lots of stackers that believe only in silver and just purchase frivolously and I don’t believe that’s the right way to go about it . I believe in metals I would of never saved as much as I have without it but there definitely is a respectable way to stack precious metal It’s probably our responsibility to teach that . Anyways thanks for the comment I truly appreciate it. I’m always open and interested in other’s experiences with precious metals . Cheers thanks

I like untested silver over gold bars myself …they are cheaper but have great upside

Great video brother awesome advice😊
There’s no best silver to stack. Silver sucks. Lost lots of $$$ on it. Should have bought gold instead
Just curious how long did you hold on to your silver ?
If you buy high and sell low...you are suppose to buy low and sell high. I started buying silver when it was at $15 forever around 7 or 8 years ago.
About 2 or 3 years@@savagestacker
