Just started stacking silver, your videos have been extremely enlightening. My first silver round I purchased last week was a silver eagle, I got home and realized the coin I arbitrarily chose had my birth year! Took it as a good omen and I immediately began buying and trading for more. Will switch from eagles and leaves to buffalos. Thanks dude
Buffalos are “rounds” Eagles are “coins” the difference is coins are made by a countries government and can be used at the face value of the coins as legal tender. Rounds are just generic and that weigh 1 Troy oz
@Josh Gunter I would stay away from minted government coins unless they are close to the price of silver buffalo's which are silver rounds especially since you are new into stacking.
Hands down the best form of silver to stack and resell during volatile markets. I've generated the best buy and sell returns on them in this order: 1. Standing Liberty's & 2. Buffalo/Bisons rounds. Love ur videos btw 🎉
I have heard from multiple stacker’s that Britannias will develop milk spots and it might be a reason not to purchase. I had started collecting them but stopped after reading comments multiple times
Its Regency mint that makes the textured design on the rounds in this video "R" inside a "Star" logo 🙏🏽 love your channel as a new stacker you've taught me a lot🤘🏽
Liquidity largely depends on who you're going to be transacting with. Yes- with dealers, rounds can be an easily tested or otherwise trusted product. In a barter situation or with private sales, rounds may be problematic- particularly if lacking an identifying mint source stamped on the round. I have seen Philharmonics as low as $2.99 over spot and for me it makes much more sense to purchase sovereigns, and especially with a price point that low.
I like those buffalos. I actually got the same mint (a small star with an “R” in the middle)! I like the texture around them since you can’t see your fingerprints lol. I hope when I buy more my coin shop still has them. I’m about half a year into my stacking journey and I’ve found that the more bang for the buck I got are from the 1oz rounds and 10oz bars. With gold I like getting the 1/10oz philharmonics.
I just did my first ever Silver purchase and hope I did ok. Went through Costco and ordered the Pamp buffalo 1oz Silver rounds . To avoid the tax in Ca I had to purchase $2000 plus so I ordered 4 tubes of 20 1oz Buffalo rounds. Of course they went out of stock after I ordered and they came back with the American eagle 1oz coin. I wish I had an option to purchase 2 of each instead of 80 rounds of one. Not much info on the buffalo round so hope I did ok at $639.99 a tube.
I have been buying silver rounds 99% of the time due to premiums. Specifically the sunshine mint rounds because of the security feature that I really like. The other 1% of the time I've been grabbing 5oz and 10oz germania mint bars.
@@unclefester6501 LOL! I bought my first Brits WITH Charles, deliberately---because I have this strong feeling that the entire Monarchy is doomed, gonna crash entirely (like many institutions from the Old World) so I figured these might gain some extra numismatic value. I just don't believe he'll be 'King' for long. I have plenty of other silver with QEII on the back from Australia and Canada (and other territories).
AGAIN !!! Thanks to MR SD I just purchased the Libertad silver 2022 I been trying to get. . And I want to thank you for helping me in all my purchases Endless learning with you. Thanks again.
Just started stacking a couple weeks ago and went with the golden state mint Buffalo rounds. Went with some Maples, Cook Islands and Krugerrands a few days ago to add some sovereign coins before the premiums got way too out of control. Now, as premiums are getting crazier, I’m going to go back to the buffalo rounds and some sunshine mint 10 oz bars. I want to get some Germania bars and maybe some 1 oz buffalo bars. I’m interested in getting 1/4 oz sovereign coins in anticipation of the price going up and for bartering purposes but my local dealer can’t even give me an estimated date on availability. As a new stacker I appreciate your videos. Thanks.
I absolutely love Kilo bars of silver. Of coarse I have all kinds of rounds and 1oz, 5oz and 10oz bars also. Kilo bars usually have the lowest spot price compared to others. A kilo bar feels soooo good in your hand also.
Great video S.D. Love how you always break things down and explain them in depth. And right now, I completely agree with the rounds. IMHO, they are the best value. I've hit the Asahi proof rounds hard! They are gorgeous.
The radial line rounds are the best. I got a silver gold bull round with the security lines similar to the 2014+ maples. I seen incuse and proof buffalos too
Keep looking for them deals!,they are out there...I just picked up 2 buffalo rounds from my LCS for 27.25 each out the door, along with a 1891 Morgan for 30 bucks and some junk silver...forget what I paid , think I got a buck fifty face for 30 bucks...at any rate premiums are high,but so is spot..GL!
Love love buffalo rounds….wish I could afford a full tube….gotta buy a few at a time. Hope what SD billion is doing won’t start a trend. Received an email a few hours ago that since their demand is so high they’re only taking orders of $500 and more. Makes me hope other online dealers don’t start leaving us guys without deep pockets out.
I'll stick with coins.. But once I finish off a few more tubes I am considering stacking at least 100 oz of worth of buffaloes or something that catches my eye... but more than likely they will be the first thing I sell if I need to..
Hey SD. You mentioned rounds have lower premium. All my lcs sell rounds same price as Britannia or maples (~27ea). In that instance would it be better to buy those or buy rounds. Is buyback better on rounds?
How can you use these silver rounds as a barter? How would you know how much they are worth in the future? Can you do a video on this? Another amazing video! 🐉🐲
Just 2 & 3 weeks ago, on credit, Bold Precious Metals in Texas: 25 2023 Britannias (king version) were $24.60 each and 25 2023 Krugerrands the next week were $25.12 each . Knew this was very likely going to be the last of sovereigns at this price... BTW, Thank you for your videos! 🕊️
Hey Silver 🐉. What say you about the price on the Libertads you mentioned ? It seems too good to be true at that price and you've warned about low prices on certain coins as being fake coins. Why are they so low on their website ?
I would like to know also. example If popular companies coins were stamped would it only be valuable to a person that likes that company? Vs someone that had a bad customer experience with the same co? Thanks.
Cool video love those buffalos, just a suggestion that may be worth mentioning, all over RU-vid including your videos you find these dumb scammers in the comments, saying how they can make you so much money and how they became rich investing with a Mr or Mrs and a generic name, maybe it would be worth mentioning in your videos so no one would ever fall prey to them, although I think everybody here has enough brains not to.
I prefer stacking everything I can get my hands on. I've only been stacking for 6mon., but I've got over 100oz's already... not counting the 50 Morgan/Peace dollar's that belonged to my grandmother. She also left me 4- 1/2 oz. Gold Liberty's (1990, 92, 94, and 95). And 1- 1/4 oz. Gold Mount Rushmore. None of my Gold coins have been out of their plastic holders. If I could afford Gold, I would most certainly tweak out and load up... instead, I tweak out on 1oz. Rounds And Coins 😅
For me, the Maria Theresia Taler is best for stacking. Yesterday I bought 174 pieces of Maria Theresia Taler in the pawnshop of my town in Germany for a total of €3,045, which is €17.50 per piece, which is very close to the spot price. Each coin has 23.39g of silver That's 0.75 ounces per coin, so all 174 coins together equal 4069.86g of silver: 31.1 = 130.86 ounces, the €3,045 I spent divided by 130.86 ounces = €23.27 per ounce I paid what was as much as $25.57 and I think that was a good purchase, I have also bought Maria Theresia thalers before between €13-20 each and now I have a total of 392 pieces which corresponds to a total of 294 ounces, these coins are very cheap and have the most beautiful design
When DOW was in the 33k, silver price was down to 20/oz. Even dip under 20 for a few minutes. Then the banking "crisis"happen. DOW dropped to 31k and silver price shot up to 23.40s. Now, DOW is almost back to 33k again but silver price is not dropping back to 20. I miss paying 22/oz out the door for rounds and bars. 23-24 for philharmonic and britannia. Buying from California. Need to spend 1500 at a time.
I much prefer 10 oz silver bars as they often carry the lowest premium and can be sold in zero time flat to any coin shop or by posting an ad on any gun forum. When it comes to cheap, divisible with a high potential for appreciation, ammo is by very far your best bet (it was up 3x 4x during the pandemic).
Was surprised to see today that the Philharmonics have a lower premium than the generic rounds at my local coin shop. First time I've seen that though I haven't been stacking for that long so not sure how common that is.
The Philharmonics on SD Bullion were actually cheaper than any of the rounds. I think they are about even now and the same price,or nearly so, as the Britannias.
I have no idea what ACH means when paying for an order. I've never paid using that method. Would you explain how that works? Thanks a million. I appreciate your channel by the way.
A draft directly from your checking account. Give them the 10 digit routing number of your bank/credit union and your checking account. Both are on your checks. Works well, no charges, and no paper checks. Anybody that has seen one of your checks had this same info. It's not like some secret code.
@@unclefester6501 Thank you so much for explaining that to me. I had no idea. I see no more threat than writing a check to a grocery store when push comes to shove.
1oz rounds and 5oz bars is all I stack! Also I only buy silver when It's on sale. The last time I bought silver it was $2.39 over spot for 1oz rounds. $22.50 per oz
I'd personally rather have bulk weight in generics than sovereign bullion coins. I'll take 125 ounces of bars and rounds compared to 100 ounces in ASEs. Especially if you're holding long term, I don't think it's going to matter what types of silver you have
Dragons, I just wanted to relate something. Folks are often saying that you should buy at local coin shops, but not local pawn shops. I've said it before, and will say it again, that my local pawn shop, when he gets silver and gold in, is better than online or local coin shops for acquiring metals. Just today, for example, he had a bag of American Silver Eagles that someone just sold him, and he was selling them for $32.00 each. They are in very nice shape, too. I picked up three, but wish I could have picked all of them up. They all passed the ping, rare earth magnet, and jeweler's scale weight, tests. So it depends on your pawn broker whether or not he's a good place to acquire metals from.
@@justinholland9844 The going price for American Silver Eagles is a good bit higher than that. More goes into their price than mere silver worth. Essentially, I got American Eagles for the price of Britannias.
I’ve got rounds. But I also have a lotta 5-100oz bars. If what I think is coming, is actually coming, I can picture myself out in my workshop with a chisel and three lb. sledge chipping away.
Only if your buying 500 oz at a time . The premium on rounds is outrageous. I just bought 9 500 gram bars at 2.49 over spot. Had I bought 1 oz rounds with the same amount of money. That's several less oz I would have. 10 oz bars are the smallest I buy. 1 kilo is as big as I go. 500 gram bars on sale 2.49 over spot any amount at my dealer. That's what I buy. Just hit 700 oz🎉
I always prefer to include shipping cost and tax into my purchases, which is why I like eBay and trusted bullion dealers on there for deals and then I buy whatever’s cheapest at the time. Rounds or bars doesnt matter, just whatever has the cheapest premium total with all costs included
Couldn't believe it but had some generic silver rounds from Golden State mint and my local coin shop would not buy them. So does that mean some coin shops will not take generic silver rounds now? They were a hundred percent legit because I purchased them directly from Golden State mint. Does anyone have any opinions on this matter? Need to say also that I wasn't very happy and will not be going back to this coin dealer anymore. I've spent thousands of dollars there and he just lost my business. Afterwards I did go to another coin dealer I patronize and he bought them right away.
When I can't afford 10 oz bars I will buy rounds and constitutional only occasionally do I buy eagles. I started with eagle but now I buy Krugerrands, Maple and britanias. Eagles just have too high premium
personally it seems like it would be best to buy Kilo bars financially due to premiums as well as rounds so you can use them as 'change' if you make a semi large purchase using silver for something.
