Hello from the Isle of Man! Just started stacking gold this week after coming across your videos! Definitely the most helpful gold channel on the platform
Thanks and good luck!
Watch old vids from silverfishVT, he got me started about 12 years back.
Does the Isle of Man issue any gold coins?
You should look up Neil McCoy-Ward videos. He lives there too.
@@bhoward9378Yes they do. There are some at Bullion Exchanges but the premiums are high.
Absolutely love this channel. Way too many out there that are always shouting that the end is near and gold is the only way to survive. Others touting gold as a way to get rich. Really appreciate the nuance that it’s a savings method that has a chance to appreciate, and that you shouldn’t go crazy turning all your money into gold (though that’s better than the ways many people spend money).
Thank you!
*Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires*
I buy fractional gold every two weeks because that's what I can afford without saving up cash. Yes, I realize I'm paying a higher premium, but the premiums you mentioned (as high as 17% for a 1/10 AGE) are less than the annual increase in price. I'd rather accomplish a small goal on a regular basis than fail at a larger goal on the regular.
TL;DR hold fractional gold long enough you'll beat the premium.
@@bhoward9378 your plan is sound. Good luck and keep on stacking!
In Canada, Maple Leafs are number one (no surprise) and buffaloes sell well but hardly anyone wants American Eagles because coins with less than 999 purity are subject to sales tax (up to 15% depending on the province).
Yup I agree paying taxes on eagles suck
My savings account! Gold and silver! Good content. Enjoy the videos! 💪💯
Cheers!
💯
Don’t forget cahs if there is a chrahs jou will be happy if jou have cahs not Gold think about to expansiv know Gold remember my salarie is about 1 Unze of Gold here in Austria the same 5 jears ago 1 Unze
I love gold, but my country still has a bit of underdeveloped market. I learned my lesson when the pandemic hit Europe and everything closed. The big malls in the capital where the main dealers are closed and my gold was practically useless as there was nowhere to sell it. So I don't overdo it, but keep gold at about 10% of my portfolio.
Love your videos. 90% of stacking videos are people just predicting the price, which is stupid. Just show off your stack and discuss the things you are currently buying. Seeing peoples' stacks always motivates me.
🤜🤛
Great vid thanks
Thank you!
My local coin shop sent this today
Pete, I have 3 (.990) - 1/10ths Gold generic coins at melt ($233/each) & 5 (.999) - 1/10ths Gold generic coins at $10 over melt ($246). If you are interested, you have first option on them.
Please let me know as soon as your earliest convenience allows, if I should write these up for you or put them out for display. -Heath
I have a good relationship with them.
Yesterday at another shop I bought ten 1/10 ounce American gold eagles in capsules for $240 each and an Italian gold coin at spot for $440.
That is an amazing price on 1/10 gold eagles yesterday! I last paid that price about a month ago, but prices are higher now. Still substantially lower at my LCS than elsewhere.
@@bhoward9378 it does pay to develop relationships.
Great video!
Thank you!
Good stuff as always.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Great advice, IMO, and well worth the time to watch and listen. My dad was one of those 1-liner guys and he had a saying for just about any occasion.
One of his favorites was: "You never learn anything with your mouth open." Because of that, I learned to listen when good advice came along.
As to gold, yes, the national mint is usually a great option for gold and silver coins, as these very often will be easier to sell than foreign coins. I make
an exception for the Canadian Maple Leaf coins. Living in a northern tier of the US means that Canada is less than 300 miles from my home, so it is
pretty easy to sell Maples and every LCS around here usually has them in stock. I ventured a little from this to include some gold Britannias but since
the UK is one of our closest allies, it seemed good to get some of these coins. I have both 1-oz. and fractional oz. gold coins and really like the flexibility
they give when selling. It's good to be able to sell a smaller amount of gold than an oz., especially during a time of very high inflation, where I would want
to keep more of my wealth in gold and only sell as much as I need to sell to maintain a decent lifestyle. Yes, this costs more per oz. than the 1-oz. coins
but the added flexibility is well worth it to me. Others can and will disagree on this point and that's fine. I like reading and hearing comments from others
that differ from my own. This is a really good way to learn and all comments are considered.
Thanks Ed. I might be grabbing some smaller Britannias soon too. Cheers!
I'm new to this. Makes absolute sense. But sometimes you just want something different 😂
Great video brother thanks for the info nice stack 🥃🥃🥃
Thanks Nate!
Great advice as always
Thank you!
Weller and Blanton’s, can’t go wrong with those.
Agreed! 🥃
Hello from Norway🇳🇴
I have just started stacking gold and silver myself. I only buy gold and silver American Eagles and gold Buffalo. Thx for all of your advices, it is really helpful
Cheers!
Hello from 🇺🇸
I agree. The only other one I would add is the Gold Maple Leaf .. pure gold and its from Canada, which is ...well Canada, and not South Africa or Mexico or UK or Austria or Australia or fking China
@@jake8077tats nothing I have 2 250 g jeeeeee only cost about 16000 dollar haaaaaaaa how about know Doppel
@@jake8077 I agree with you 🤠👍🏻
Great topic. Personally like the diversity of your stacks. Thank you for sharing!
🤜🤛
Gold Is Gold! I like, hold, buy and sell it all daily 8K, 10K,14K, 18K, 22K, 24K, coins, bars, rounds, jewelry, watches, even gold "grill" teeth...lol. Guess that's why I say in comments "All I Want Is Me GOLD". I like, hold, buy and sell silver also but Gold Is King in my book, it's never let me down. You have the best table layout on your videos and your content is excellent and truthful. Thanks for yet another .99999 fine video 2 is 1 and as always you get a 👍. Life is good......God Bless
Thank you BDH! Cheers!
@@2is1gold Always a pleasure Sir..
More sage advice. Reminders are also appreciated
🤜🤛
Gold is going over 2500 this year.
2800 by 2025 🫡
@stevexracer4309 if gold goes to 1600 I will take out a loan and buy every ounce I can.
@@Frdtsl I will be doing the same but to be honest I have still been buying Gold at the high prices as well. Bit by bit it all adds up.
@@Frdtsleven in CA they dont tax below 2k. Which signals a floor although its possible. If it happens. I will get more even after losing all mine in a boating accident😢
@@stevexracer4309🤔
I’m in the states but I stihl believe the Britannia is far better looking than any other coin out there. Plus, the additional security features makes me think that will help IF ever I need to sell.
Great looking coin and cheap. No question.
That's what prefer as well here in the States
I'm coming to that same conclusion, although the low cost of fractional gold Britannias has risen quite a bit on a percentage basis.
Still, these are very attractive coins and I don't see any reason why they would not sell easily, if needed.
Yes! This video is the 2 is 1 I have missed. Thank you sir
Cheers!
Definitely worth buying the gold eagles and buffalos my opinion and silver stick to clean cheap rounds
When liquidity pukes, people sell what they can not what they want to. Gold will be cheaper in the first few days of the next major market correction. Keep your powder dry fellas.
Saving my cash just for that reason.
Solid advice. Any estimate how much of a pullback we could see? 10 percent? 20 percent?
You're right on target !!!
🤜🤛
I’m in Canada, I’m working on 1/4oz ML tube, as a schedule savings, thank you again for all you vids! Merci!
Bien sur!
Happy Tuesday!
Cheers!
Weller! A fine choice Sir! 🤩
It’s a good one - cheers! 🥃
A Krugerrand is international, pretty strong.
People that say gold isn't an investment are clueless. Just look at the charts. Not only is it an investment, but it's a pretty well performing one.
I agree- I buy one ounce Buffaloes and Maples when the budget allows, and I buy fascinating (to me) ancient and early modern coins to scratch my collectors itch. It's essentially two different things- one is savings, and one is a passion that may or may not turn a profit one day.
Staying away from 'novelty gold', however, is very good advice!
Nice! What kind of ancients are you into?
@@2is1gold I teach world history at a college in Canada, so I dabble in larger tetradrachms of the Graeco-Roman-Persian era. I'm also a sucker for crown-sized coins from the 16th-18th centuries. I love coins that tell a story, or speak to important eras in world history. The 'kids' love seeing this stuff, though I keep the rarest stuff safely tucked away.
Thanks again for a great video here- I've been watching your stuff for 3 years now and you do really fine work. Intelligent, sober and interesting- the best 'gold' content out there, hands down.
“As you can see here I break my own rules.” That’s exactly what rules are for! And what a blessing to be able to do so. Another informative, common sense video.
I’m a big proponent of private party sales or sales to shops who understand the importance of, shall we say, confidentiality. Of course, there is a potential for substantial danger when dealing with private parties; however, there are ways to mitigate those risks.
Yeah, I think you've mentioned meeting in a Sheriff Dept parking lot and brining a "friend" and metal authenticator. All smart ideas. Hope you're doing well, Vert!
Great stuff. How does pre-33 gold fit into the picture for US based buyers/sellers? Premiums have fallen to right around that of Eagles, but I wonder about exit strategy with these coins. Are they easy to sell? Thanks and keep up the great content!
They’re easy to sell, but I see dealers offer spot x gold content.
Great video! BTW guys, any recommended Gold/Silver Shops around Utah or Wasatch Counties? Thousand thanks in advance!!!
For me only Buffalos. IM from Ireland and I love America .:}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Flexing that elusive liberty bronco 😎
Ha, needs to get out and RUNNNN sometimes! 😅
I like the lunar year of the dragon Samoa and Perth Mint series gold coins. Not sure if either is a smart investment. I just like the design on both.
Started stakin gold n silver for gold right now all I can do is Fractional 1 gram 1/2 gram n quarter Ounce stuff but still fun
I have been investing in metals for years! I am mostly maples with Buffalo's in 2nd and most of my eagle's are all fractional. They have done me well. Got some lead that has "shot up" over the years and if it was a investment they am matured well😂. Great work as always man!
Thanks! Looks like you have the good stuff. ✊
Lead and Brass make for a nice stack. One never knows when a government rant will take a lot of ammo making capacity off the market, resulting
in a shortage and higher prices. 2012 was my wake-up call on that and since then I have restocked at much lower prices when available.
Hello 2 is 1 👋🏼, you mentioned that it’s easier to counterfeit bars, but what are your thoughts on Canadian Maple Leaf 1oz gold bar if you live in Canada? The hold slightly less premium than maples and come in carded.
Just bought my first gold today in the form of two 1 ounce American gold eagles.😊
Nice! Bet that feels good.
Could you make or recommend a video on what method you suggest to receive money after selling your stack in emergency, perhaps to local dealer. I can’t help but imagine it’s unsafe to walk out with a bunch of cash after the trade
Thoughts? 🙏
Easiest online sell so far was to SD Bullion. I have sold to Kitco but it’s not as smooth and SD had better quote.
Nice.
The buy back prices I keep seeing are the same for bars and maples - coinhuskers just posted his buy sheet and shows this - I’m staying away from anything but eagles and buffalo
I have a hard time buying from my LCS. His gold is much higher than I can find online, but he will do trades. His silver isn't too bad a price.
I spotted the Blanton's before the zoom out.
🥃
When you start thinking of gold to dollar ratio in terms of ounces per $1,000 it’s a completely different perspective. Now it’s gold money vs. paper currency where Au 1 oz costs one ounce of gold and $1,000 can be traded for less and less than Au 1/2 oz.
My mentality for the past few years has been, "How much such-and-such fiat paper currency could I buy with an ounce of gold?" Gold is always the default.
@@jordanw8382 need to have spare gold for that, but it’s hard to get…
I agree completely with what he’s stated. Think of KISS
KEEP IT SIMPLE SHERLOCK
Here’s to saving, investing and incurable Dragon sickness ✨🐉✨
Thank you for the great video
Best wishes to all
Cheers!
Your right collect eagles and Buffalo. I have alot of America friends that love maples but that seems to be the top 3 to collect
K.I.S.S. is almost always good advice.
Started stacking it’s the best thing that has happened this year
Wrong it was in 2017 only 17 Euro haaaaaaaa to late
Cheers!
What do you recommend for buying gold in states where they charge tax on any gold currency coin but not on generic bars or rounds?
Id love to stack buffalos or gold eagles but hate the tax charged. Any advice?
The premium on quarters is still cheaper than silver premiums.
Gold is what I use in place of treasuries, long term in particular. As far as bars, Pamp is pretty sound. Swiss gold is Swiss gold.
PAMP is my top choice for bars too. Cheers!
I'm not into gold bars but if I was, PAMP would be my choice too.
@@edb3877all the same it’s only gold
@@edb3877
The security is in the price you buy it. . If its close enough to melt when you buy it , no need to worry about when fashions change.
Coins tend to trend up and down more , meaning you can do better than bars , but also a little worse.
I know this myself. I could sell bars without getting too emotional about losing my shinny, incorruptible object. I have both for both those reasons. One for selling if I need it, and coins that fall from cold, dead hands.
Can you share your opinion on stacking Pre-33 in the US? With current premiums common dates in AU and below seem to have lower premiums than AGE.
I personally like them a lot, but they introduce a variable I don't think most people will be on the good side of in a sale. It's very hard to make money on the numismatic side of them.
@@2is1gold can you explain that more (I'm fairly new to this)? What is the variable you mention? The pre-1933 coins are so beautiful and it's so fun to think of their history and all the hands they passed through and all the things purchased with them along the way.
Keeping it simple is boring right up until you get that new piece. It may look exactly the same except for the year maybe but for a short time you treat the new one different than the old ones. It is weird but I know I'm not the only one.
I’m with you.
My private buyer tip of the spear coin is the CML. Micro-printing features make authentication as close to idiot-proof as possible. (AGE still doing that missing ridge silliness?)
Yeah, the security features on Maple Leafs (and Britannias) help a lot in a private sale. Cheers!
In Europe I have consistently noticed that historical gold coins like Roosters, Vreneli, Sovereigns or Ducats have a lower premium AND a lower spread than modern bullion coins, and they are as liquid as gold can be.
I don't know if spread and liquidity are also good in the US for those coins, but I do know one thing: modern mints can make money on modern bullion coins and they can't on historical ones, so modern coins are advertised and historical ones aren't. So the fact that modern coins are popular might be due to the advertising more than to them being a better option. Any thoughts?
They lack liquidity here - it’s hit or miss. Sovs, LMUs, Ducats are all similar. I’d definitely buy them there. Cheers!
If exiting the country is a consideration then you should absolutely avoid eagles and krugerrands. I don't think 9167 gold should ever be more than 25% of your stack for that reason.
Why would that matter? I have bought and sold gold across Europe and East Asia and never had any issues with Sovereigns or Eagles, and Eagles are kind of fashionable in some places. Pamp bars are pretty standard everywhere. The only gold I ever heard bad things about was Aussie because there was a bunch of fakes, but that was over a decade ago.
Where are Eagles hated? Middle East? I know they hate Americans there, and they certainly look down on Africans. I never knew what real racism was until I visited the Persian Gulf. Whoa. I do not understand it.
This has me concerned for a “friend” of mine who recently acquired a 2013 Australian 🦘
Kangaroo. Any thoughts?
@@sinesaii Australia, Canada and Singapore and undoubtedly other will tax non 9999 gold. As an English speaker those are places I might have to escape to. East Asians have a strong preference for 9999, so I'm surprised they liked your eagles.
@@PatriarchalRain I love kangaroos. The changing design and uniqueness of the Perth mint shade of gold makes it difficult to counterfeit. There is always a latent 'P' inside the lettering of 'Kangaroo'.
@@sinesaiiyou still don’t understand!? Do you expect them to welcome you with Champagne after wrecking Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan….😂
Your advice, but damn good advice! Now....lets have a pour of the Weller or Blanton's! : )🥃
Yep! 🥃
Thanks for the insight
I might splurge on a flowing hair from USMint this fall... we'll see. They look nice.
Agreed. I might splurge too.
Hey Im from Austria and I just started my Gold journey. I think the Wiener Philharmoniker is the best option for me, mainly because it is the local coin. Is my reasoning correct, or do you think the Philharmonic is a bad coin because I never saw one in your videos, or is it just not a good coin to have in the USA?
Thanks for your time and the great videos.
You are definitely correct. Great coin, probably the best there. Corona restrikes will be cheaper, but Philharmonics are the top. Cheers!
@@2is1gold Thank you so much !!
The Philharmonic is a beautiful coin that is well known. I’m in the US and have several. I’ve heard that it’s the most popular gold coin in Europe.
The most important coins in Germany are Kruger Rands, I think...
What are your thoughts on buying gold from sellers on places like Reddit or Facebook groups? I’ve joined a few like r/PMsforsale and it seems like you can find some pretty good prices on bullion.
I live in a small city with only one coin shop and it isn’t doing well. They almost never have gold bullion and the pawn shops around here are shady to say the least.
Reddit has a good system. Facebook would be dependent on the community. Personally I’d want to have a sigma to verify if that was my primary strategy.
honorable mention for our neighbors to the south.... The Mexican Centenario!
The problem is the odd gold content.
@@2is1gold problem for who?
I full cash bought a nice piece of land for 3% of full ask price with gold yesterday. Using My original gold purchases made during early mid 2000's. So by todays equivalence I got a nice piece of land for less than the price of a decent bicycle. Using the "girl math" calculation, the closing costs were more than the initial gold investment. Thats what Gold does and I did not have to pay taxes, interest, or other stuff involved with a paper investment.
SD Bullion is not great on price, and they charge shipping, even on big purchases. Despite buying oz gold coins, they couldn't even include an airtite case.
Free shipping on anything over $199. They send air-tites with Perth Mint coins or others that come with them same as anyone. Cheers!
I find that when you're buying from a gold dealer in person and you ask the ridiculous questions like if gold goes to 5 or 10000 would you buy it back and he says yes and then you ask how much of the premium will I get back in it gives a 2% percentage you're in a good spot
You could build a time machine...go forward, get charts, go back in time and own the markets.
Reason reigns supreme.🥃
Cheers! 🥃
AGEs are the coins for me (love the ASEs, too).
Always great content! Peace!
✌️
Show Krugerrands please 👉👈
I agree 100% with your philosophy of keeping it simple. After you've achieved a realistic goal with your 1 ounce American/Canadian gold coins, then you can start having fun with fractional and graded coins. Just don't go too far down that rabbit hole because you will not get your money back out of them. And if we have an SHTF situation, no one's gonna care if you have a MS 70 grade on a coin or not.
By the way 2 is 1, did I hear you say the Eagles are 24 karat? I believe there are 22 karat. 🙂
I probably said they all have the same gold content. Eagles have some silver and copper on top. Cheers!
3:46- you're right, when you said they both happen to be 1 ounce of pure gold I was thinking of purity. But that is true the eagle does have 1 ounce of pure gold and a little extra silver/copper for fun 😄
Passing it on to my kids and as a backup until that time.
No mention of perth minth coins? Are they harder to sell than maples, brittanias and krugs?
I split time between a few places. If I take them to Asian markets like Chinatown, they do better than most of what I have. Anywhere else, they get no benefit of popularity, so I'd be selling them for melt. It's easier to do larger deals with Eagles, Buffalos, MLs or Krugs. Cheers!
What's your view on 50 peso Centenario for selling inside the US?
A lot of older stackers are very familiar with them since they were one of the few options in the early days. They do pretty well. The gold content in them will be confusing to most people, though.
@@2is1gold That's right, 1.20565 oz, 37.5 grams. They're beautiful, the oldest mint coins in the continent.
Eagles Krugerrand Buffalo Britannia Roos Philharmonic are where its at. Sovereigns also in uk. Location is a factor. Great video so true. Premium heavy should be avoided.... Keep it simple safe, as sexy sheqels
I'm confused and new to this. Is there a reason you didn't mention the St. Gaudens and Lady Liberty pre-1933 coins? Would those be easy to sell?
Yeah, Pre-33 like the coins you mention are easy to sell. They're harder to buy at a decent price, though, so they take a lot more work to preserve the value. Lots of dealers will sell them higher but only offer spot x gold content when they buy them back.
@@2is1goldOh! Thank you for explaining that. Would they be considered semi numismatic making them have the higher premiums?
I love your knives 🔪 ❤
The Weller & Blantons look tasty! When in Louisville, let’s share one. 🥃
🥃
do you consider Numastic coins ?
I have some numismatic stuff, but I consider that a different category. Even the American Liberty Mustang I showed in this video has tripled in value. So, there are opportunities in the space. Cheers!
I'm over here struggling to get my first ounce and then he's just putting 20 ounces on the table like it's nothing 😭😭
Ha, I've been at it for 16 years. It adds up if you stick to it. Cheers!

Do you believe bullion exchange is a trustworthy shop to buy from? I have bought a few from them but am curious if there is a catch with why their prices are always a bit cheaper than everywhere else.
They’re legit.
Can anyone tell me why I see gold coins selling on eBay for much more than you can buy them for from the big online seller?
What do you think about the modern us commerstives? 10$ or 5$? Also the gold metals?
Terrible. So many LCS won’t even buy them .
I won't buy them.
@@2is1gold why not?
@@ajswital I stick to widely understood / widely desired options.
I purchased the 2021 American Liberty Bronco one-ounce gold piece from the U.S. Mint in 2021 for around $2700. I had a coin dealer tell me that these gold coins are retailing for $3200. Dealer offered me $3000 for a $300 profit. I don't need the cash so I'm thinking about trading it for silver rounds or silver Eagles. Were you aware that these Gold Broncos coins are valued so high?
WHOA WHOAH WHOAH!!! They’re going for $8,500 on eBay. Do not sell to that guy! 😄
Thank you for the information. Thank goodness the dealer traveled to a coin show in Florida this week. I was going to meet him Monday and trade for silver. Amazing how much the Bronco Gold has appreciated. Not sure I'll trust this local dealer again. My wife checked on ebay and saw where one dealer is asking $12000 for a MS 70 graded. Again, Thank you.
Don't think I don't see those bottles of booze in the background! I much prefer the low rye mash bill #1 from Buffalo Trace. Benchmark, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, EH Taylor, Stagg. Those are all my jam from Buffalo Trace. Four Roses, Knob Creek, Michter's and Old Forester are some more of my favorites.
As for the gold, I definitely think that 999/9999 is the way to go for at least part of your stack. For liquidity outside the United States. The world is gold hungry and they like 24k gold! 22k is really just a thing here in the US and South Africa I guess.
Similar taste in bourbon. I’d probably put EH Taylor above Weller Antique. Barely. (Two of my favorites.) Pinhook Single Barrel was a recent nice surprise. Russel’s 10 is a go-to here too. I’m right around 50/50 on 24k. 🥃 I’ve seen so many giant deals involving Eagles and Krugs that I’m not worried holding some crown gold. Cheers!
Can you pls explain why a buffalo is thicker and wider than a maple leaf. Also, pls explain why a buffalo is thicker than an eagle, even though they both have the same amount of gold and eagles have other alloys bringing it to 1.09 Ozt
The rim is thicker. The actual gold content is the same.
Stacking silver and gold is great but stacking ammo over the past 25 years has made the biggest gains in value.
A “buck a round” has gotten crazy.
@@2is1gold Indeed, especially for those of us who remember MUCH lower prices. When I first started target shooting back in the 1980s, .357 mag ammo was
relatively cheap and available. So was 9 mm ammo. But .41 mag ammo was eating me out of house and home, so I fought back via reloading. It's a relaxing
Saturday afternoon when I can load up a couple of hundred 5.56 mm rounds or any of the other 5 calibers I reload. Also cast my own lead bullets and the 205
grain .41 hard-cast semi-wadcutter is my favorite. At 1200 fps, it hits with plenty of authority. If not, then some jacketed 220 gr soft points at 1450+ fps will.
What are your thoughts on Gold IRA ?
Please tell me what that beautiful knife is.
It’s a Rockstead Higo II in ironwood. Blade is mirror finish. They do great work!
What about buying gold coins with abrasions?
Not a big overall difference. You’ll pay less to get them and get less in a sale. Cheers!
Aye, there's the rub
I bought a 1907 20$ 😅
Nice!
2024 ..2034...2044....shit..don't hold dollars euros for 2050
Gold makes me sleep like a baby. It is the number 1 backup fund and insurance for a rainy day. Living in continental Europe gives a stacker tons of options. Britannias, Wieners, Ducats, Sovereigns, old generic European .900 circulated gold coins, the choice is endless. Within the EU the preferences vary per country. Keep stacking!
🤜🤛
If I were in Europe, I would want gold in Switzerland. I would be horrified about the Russians. If they knew they could get away with it (Trump), they might just take a chance. The Turks had raids for centuries, and I am not convinced Europeans could stop them.
Then again, I am reading history all the time and probably crazy.
@@sinesaiiwe will have to see what the future holds for us, but the Euro is toast. The dollar is the cleanest shirt in the hamper but also not a great way to hold value. So that leaves silver and especially gold.
@@kaliber73but why has the euro gained on the dollar lately..from. .93 to .92. Last week or so...makes no sense
He man Beter jou have 2 250 gram philorobarren jeeeeeeeee to high the price vor the coin
I buy silver low and trade silver for gold when the GSR falls below 40 to 1
In the past 40 years, it's only been near 40:1 once in 2011. 🤷
Good luck, that won't happen again. If it does, finding a shop will be difficult to trade it.
@@drewmcclintock7034 what they do is cash the silver out at their price and then you buy at their price so you lose a little in the process.
@@2is1gold That 's why they say silver is a long term investment, but when it pays it pays big.
Those are some great tips I’ll keep buying a 1/4oz coin per month but Face Reveal when?
