I always carry a 100oz JM bar for self defense 😁🔥🐉
I only carry one when I want people to see what kind of undies I'm wearing....it works.
violence! watch out if you're around Debby everyone! chick has some silver she'll beat you with!!! ;)
100oz Britannia. In a soccer sock. Get a kiss from the Queen 😄
LOL I suppose that will work if you put it in a sturdy tube sock. Better yet put two in there and make your own tube sock nunchuckkas bro haha
i want a few silver bullets in .357 Magnum for a you know what!!....
The irony is that Roosevelt outlawed gold ownership.
Roosevelt dimes and 90% quarters are my main go to to stack. One reason is i just love the feel and sound of it.
Thank you I will be looking for quarters also! I’m thankful of those who are willing to share their knowledge with others.
Yes!!!!!!!!!
I agree. I started with silver rounds and bars. I have now switched to pre1965 quarters and dimes because of fractional use, practicality, recognition and due to increased premiums on bullions
On 90% silver quarters ,dimes call around. Different coin shops sell for , in some cases vastly different prices. Also look for shipping costs when ordering online. Cut as many costs as you can
You make good points. However, you'd be amazed how fast the public will educate themselves should silver become popular.
I totally agree with you. I think it’s something that confuses people into thinking that this will happen like a lightning bolt with little to no build-up. People will hear from news, others, radio, etc what is money. Thanks for the comment.
Several US states have already legislated to reinstate metal as legal tender. The tide turns!
James DiGriz GoldBacks are love; GoldBacks are life!
@@jamesdigriz7971 Sauce plz
Everyone recognizes dimes, sure, but they are often shocked to learn that the older ones contain silver. Most recognize them as being just .10 in purchasing power, and slow to accept they are actually worth more. This is a problem I have consistantly come across. That is not the case with silver eagles.
This is something I worry about.
in shtf/ barter, every transaction depends on the 2 parties, so claims that most transactions defacto will be with past forms of money, ie silver, is illogical. it's just basically silver pumping, hoping and wishing, and paroting. even amongst the stackers, everything will be negotiated. it's basically why government and legal tender with coinage exists.
@@Golden.Silver.Conquistador Good point. And the people who owns the goods that you so desperately need, if they do accept silver, has alot of leverage over you. It's unlikely that you will get what silver "should be worth" in such a scenario.
Perhaps prepping makes more sense if you believe there's a good chance of a SHTF scenario, and stacking silver makes more sense as a way to preserve existing wealth if there is NOT a SHTF scenario. We probably should do both.
Prepping was the norm just one generation ago. I suppose we're alot more spoiled than our parents, not having ever lived through a crisis, or even grown up hearing stories at the kitchen table of what it was like when S really did HTF, big time.
Oh, and to pay off any debt is key. A $20,000 stack of silver might not be very helpful if you have $200,000 in debt, and the interest goes through the roof.
Buy those from those people for face value then
The Indian head 1 oz rounds are well known and they are .999 pure Silver. More weight in Silver and more purity than old Silver coins . Ideal for high tech Industrial mfg uses . No need to clean out the copper here , because it is a pure fine .999 stamped Silver Round.
I agree. In 1979 when there was a gasoline crisis you could get a gallon of gas for one SILVER dime.
Maybe I'm the only old dude on this channel, but I hate trying to read the tiny date on a grungy old Roosevelt dime. I inspected the dates on all 200 of my Roosevelts and it gave me a headache. Instead I stack Mercury dimes. When you see a Merc you know exactly what it is, no worrying about the date and no eye strain.
It’s a great point you make N B. Many people prefer the Mercs over the Rosie’s too so you’re in great company :) it comes down to some preference for sure. Thanks for your time!
I don't mind having to read the dates to verify that a Rosie is silver. Of course most here know that they are a little cheaper than Merc dimes. I'm in the camp that no matter which type of silver you stack (constitutional, rounds, bars, or even Jewelry), you are vastly more prepared than the majority of Americans for a potential severe economic downturn. I think if we do face Great Depression 2.0, Vendors will adapt with various methods to be able to test the silver at their location (scales, chemistry kits, slide test, etc).
@@benfrankog6111 You said it 😉
Same reason I go for mostly Mercury dimes, and pick up Roosevelt's just when there is a deal. Mercury very recognizable as silver in transactions where you don't want to be hanging around attracting attention. Still got sufficient Roosevelts to make the bigger deals by the roll to the right people.
Mercury sell for the same price as Roosevelt dimes and i buy only good looking 1s to avoid any silver loss
90% quarters are also good for mentioned reasons, and have more silver content for higher buying power.
Yep! Half dollars too.
I think the core of a good stack is eagles and constitutional. But I also like to acquire coins/rounds with potential for appreciation.
I can agree with that.
pros of carrying a 100oz bar around: People can ask you "is that a 100oz silver bar in your pocket or are you just happy to see me"
Con.. when they find out it’s just silver :(
I agree 100%. The first coins I bought were 8 franklin halves then I bought 6 tubes of Roosevelt dimes. My stack is now comprised of half silver eagles and half junk silver. Your thought process is spot on. I don't care for rounds and bars because they aren't backed and local private persons pouring silver is very risky IMHO. Great video, thanks.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Great video Speg...I like the reasoning! I personally do as you said in the end (yes I watched the whole thing 😀). I stack all constitutional silver (well dimes, quarters, and halves...not so much on the dollars...too much premium). But I also make sure I stack generics and government issued. The thing is, we don't know FOR SURE what the next crisis is going to be and what will be the best to help get us through so just in case, I'll have some of it all. Thanks for another thought provoking video!!!
Oh good! so you didn't fast forward to the end ;) I'm very glad because I feel like it's important to see why other forms of silver get removed from the picture.
I'm with you though, stack a little of everything and then you can't be wrong! I appreciate you checking it out and commenting.
I started making the mistake a few years ago buying large bars when it came to silver; I have been focusing my attention on the fractional currency for all the reasons you mentioned. Great information, keep up the great work.
Thank you Mark :) we've all made some purchases that could have been better. Big bars are great but you'll need some smaller stuff too. Looks like you fixed your issue and now you've now become more diversified.
Big bars aren't a mistake. I sold thousands of ounces in 2011 and it was a pain in the ass to even bring my eagles and 10 ounce bars to my dealer. It took me several trips and several days to bring my stuff in and price was dropping big everyday after the peak. My 100 oz bars were the easiest to transport actually. I learned a big lesson in 2011 and I only stack 100 oz bars now. If your going to have less than a thousand ounces than 1 oz coins make sense but if your going to have a serious stack you'd be insane not to stack 100 oz bars. Depending on the bar size you can stack at least 3,000 ounces of 100oz bars in the same space/size of a monster box of eagles. You can stack about 18 RCM 100oz bars in the same space of a monster box of maples.
Constitutional is the most recognizable to everyone imo.
I guessed it it is the best for the situation that you were talking about you can trade in smaller increments it's recognizable there are many reasons why it is good to have lots of 90% in ur collection. Great video!!
I stack a lot of sterling flatware, tableware, and silverware. I can get them way under spot. I melted some of down and made them into 100 gram bars. Silver is silver.
Send me some pictures of those bars you’ve made when you get the chance! I’d love to see.
Silver dimes and quarters are perfect for new silver stackers. Halves are great also, but sometimes they may have a slightly higher premium, but not always. I was at my LCS yesterday...picked up 10 halves, and some various 999 fine stuff
My local shops tend to sell halves for higher sometimes....kinda weird.
In the 80’s silver run there was up to a 30% buyback price for constitutional silver because it had to go to a refinery and there was an 8 week wait time. Pure silver was easy to move because the refinery was not involved, gold was the same way.
I am very much inclined to agree with you on this matter. I have put a lot of thought and money, not to mention time and study into this exact issue. I have enjoyed reading the comments of the others also. Some great points have been made. Especially, concerning Rosie's vs. Merc's. I have a scale and have weighed them all against each other. The silver loss looks substantial on some mercs. But, if you change the scale setting to grains, you will see it to be minimal. Even though it looks much more significant on the surface, that is all you are seeing is the surface. These little scales are great. I highly recommend them. They are $9! And they come with a 100 gram weight for calibration purposes. But, if I am out bartering and run into a problem of validity, pulling out the little scale would be easy to do. And it would also help convince, educate, and generally help the situation a lot. And lightweight easy to carry. If we go off grid, get rechargeable batteries. Handy for buying and selling both. The main point is "fractional" silver!! Who is going to give you "change"? Nobody!! I am currently up to about five pounds of Junk silver. I have all denominations of it. I also have the 1 gram bars in .999. About 180 of those. Who knows what kind of buying power they will have? A lot I bet. Don't worry about trying to convince a seller to accept them. They will be out there selling perishables or whatever, and will WANT to close the sale for something of worth. So, i don't worry about that. Show them the Clad kind vs. the Silver kind. They will catch on fast. I don't know about the "Mellenials" they will be the first to starve probably lol. I stack eagles too, they are so cheap now. It's hard not to blow my whole paycheck! Great job on this vid Mr. Spegtacular!
Great point about people giving change back. Thank you!
It's mind numbing just thinking about millienials.
I lean toward eagles and maples as long as they're in good shape, not necessarily BU, but close. Having said that, when I first began stacking, the first thing I bought was a roll of Roosevelt dimes (I think I got a barber in there too, but...). Whenever I'm in my local dealer I'll always round the purchase up to whatever I have to spend by buying 90% dimes and quarters.
All good stuff Norman! I’m similar to you how I buy lots of different things ;)
Hope there's something to buy. (JIT) Just in time supply chain has dwindled warehouse storage for all corporations. Hope and pray nothing hits the fan. Great video
Yup solid points on why a rosie is king. Particularly most of the silver is still there and recognizable as far as design and still used today. I'm still looking for that graded slq vid. In the search for it I come across lots of vids you have done and it's been very enjoyable. Thanks. Awesome channel and added it to my featured channel list on my home page.
It’s the video on the NGC grading results.
I’m grateful that you’ve added my channel to your featured! Thanks for the honor.
was at the local pawn shop today. I'm lucky that they let me pick through and get the Ds,Qs,n halves with the best relief.
I believe if there is a run on silver/silver shortages etc...the 90% will be the first to sell out. Yesterday at my LCS, he actually was sold out of dimes and quarters. He had 18 halves, but I only bought 10 of them...the remaining 8 were a little slicked out.
After this video...I bet all of my local shops are going to be sold out of dimes.....great...now I can't get more :P
The only problem I have with this is, in a collapse of society situation anything associated with currency wont be worth anything. Most people don't know about Roosevelt Dimes or Pre-1966 quarters. So they will just see it as worthless since it's a dime. I think you overestimate the knowledge of the modern day citizen on precious metals. I didn't know anything until I started watching a few videos because I'm going to start stacking. But everyone will shy away from money since it wont have any value in an end of society situation. They know silver or gold. But even more valuable then those will be Food and Water and safe shelter.
Good information, you broke it down very well. I need to expand and add some smaller stuff to my stack. Thanks.
Great tutorial backed by solid thinking.
Thanks for the kind words!
I think having a variety of Dimes, Quarters, and Halfs is a good idea. Even the Dollars if you can get some cheap Cull ones. Great video!
You’ve got the right idea Tony!
At the beginning I was like "Constitutional or ASE's", then I was like "Constitutional", then I was like "OMG, the light above my head just went off! Of Course! Brilliant" LOVED The video - thank you for sharing!
And just for fun... what do YOU feel is the best choice?
Thank you for the comment and feedback!
@@Spegtacular - I like Constitutional quarters - they have a good size and carry a smaller premium, but I also have more opportunities to find varieties/errors, which can be sold immediately to purchase more! Thanks again!
A lot of people also like quarters so you’re in good company. I love them too!
I agree , I think you are spot on.
I'm really afraid to buy a big silver bar. But you made some good points. SHTF!!! It nice that you share your knowledge. I haven't watched your channel much but this video got me started! Thank you for the interesting content!
yarpos I agree
What? No dental fillings! 🙂
ooooo! Good call! I better remake the video :) ultra safe too! lol
Bart Enz
My Dad knew a mortician who took gold teeth and bought race cars...
To each his own!
I think another benefit to constitutional is that some DO NOT know they are silver. If you are confronted and asked to empty your pockets...who is going to steal dimes. For that reason, I also like war nickels.
But if the shit hits the fan money is worth nothing ie dimes and people don’t know there silver, are people going to want to trade with dimes and then your Gona have to melt them down to extract the 90% silver to make it tradable,so why not have the pure bullion and melt it down to smaller pieces? As your melting anyway, also you don’t need to explain that the dimes are silver but in money form ,that has just crashed and worthless people will associate money being worthless . Pure bullion for me .
Good point Matt. Never would have thought about that.
I believe other than stackers ,most people on the street wouldn't know the value difference of a 1964 dime and a 2019 dime ,which would make it difficult for purchasing or bartering.
In a shtf scenario a bandit well take your dimes nickels and quarters if that's all you have.
People have been killed for pocket change before so I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what you have if someone wants it bad enough.
Great to know of buying Roosevelt dimes. I bought some previously without viewing this video. I’m glad I done both. I also bought my first bunch of silver quarters. I plan on buying more of the both in the near future. Thanks for the details n making this video. Great job 👍
Thanks for watching, Aztec!
100 percent correct on the dimes and silver quarters and halves to round out your cheap premium silver.
I buy just anything I can get my hands on for spot, but my favorites are bags of walkers and mercs.
You sound like me...buying whatever is shiny ;) or even sometimes...not shiny.
Great setup and structure for discussion. Interesting that for junk silver you went directly to dimes.
If you are going for low premium, recognizable, *and* fractional - then dimes stand out as most fractional.
I probably shoot for even face amounts of dimes / quarters / halves for stack.
All junk is a great choice...but I had to choice one junk to rule them all for the purpose of this video!
junk silver? is there such a thing. The ptb have used linguistics to lessen the perceived value of silver and to spit on the fact that the smaller incremental amounts of currency are actually Constitutional money. The founding fathers gave us an honest money system. I for one will never refer to Constitutional Silver (money) as junk.
There was a guy last year that sold on Craigslist $600 for a full zip lock bag of dimes. About $25 under metal value. Basically I should have purchased it! Person from Minnetonka, Minnesota
Agree with your thoughts. I would go a step further and say, stack all constitutional silver. Thank you for sharing with the community
I stack all James...but this video only allowed for ONE to rule them all ;)
Easy answer for me in Germany, constitutional (junk) silver. It has a lower premium than bullion coins and not the high tax rate of 19% like bars and generic rounds.
It's european constitutional silver, US silver is a little bit more expensive here. I stack mainly constitutional silver from Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. Some of the big pre-WW2 German silver coins 2, 3 and 5 Mark can have a high collector premium.
Well there you go! What percentage of silver is your "junk" coinage?
@SpegTacular Depending on the age of the coins and country between 62.5% and 92.5%.
You want to have all kinds. Gov´t AG is respected but at the end of the day, the best silver to stack is the shit you have in your vaults. Stay liquid, my friends and May Your Dow Never Jones.
I totally agree with you .. I have been stacking dimes, quarters and half dollars... predicting in such a crisis silver pricing should be very high..
Lots of cool silver! I’m starting to like “junk silver” more and more myself. Thanks for sharing.
Junk silver is awesome!
Joe Shmoe is only going to think those are worth $0.10. The people who know what they actually are will be prepared and wont be selling their supplies. Good luck with that.
JoeShmoe will quickly realize that they are silver, because there will be enough other people that realize it's silver. Word spreads fast...
Old timers say that during the depression silver was worth more than gold, because silver is more purposeful. So silver always retains some sort of value.
I prefer quarters, but agree. 👍
Quarters are a close second for sure.
Quarters have a great sound.
i was just thinking about this tonight as i try to learn about Silver before i purchase. Thank you for the information.
You're welcome! Good luck on your choice.
Up to just shy of 60 lbs with my bigest denomination being 10 oz bars. I have a good even mix of 90% coins and bars leaning towards Shunshine mint bars with the micro confermation stamping . I am a bit light on dimes though I must admit.
Got Lots of copper clad lead and brass as well as food supllies too so life is good ! IMHO these investements should be first,,,along with good all around and well practiced survival skills.
Round out everything above and you'll get through most any senerio ,SHTF or just life in general.
From a prepping/shtf outlook I agree total!
Great interview with uncle Sal! I'm new to your channel, first video I've seen from ya! Liked👍 I'll have to check out more vids from ya next! Subbed!!
Eddies Little Stack! I have a few videos you may like. Feel free to check them out and let me know :) I appreciate you coming aboard!
The 1949(P) & 49-51 S's are semi-key dates (14:05) numismatically worth 2-3 times more than the normal silver Rosi dimes and should be kept separately, and also the UNC dimes too.
That’s really grasping at straws there ;) write those mintage numbers for me if you don’t mind. Also, book value vs real value are few and far between. Try selling those “semi-key” date Rosie’s for those prices and a shop will never give you anything over junk silver prices.
@@Spegtacular you didnt have any, so it doesnt matter. They're all worth about a buck but these few dates can be worth 2-3 times more. You are not going to get rich off of them.
I absolutely love your vids. Your intro music is calming and inviting. You have a unique recording voice and can pick you out the crowd of just audio silver tubers. Smart guy, love the info. Thanks for doing these vids and P.S. love the gloves 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks James! I love your love ;) 💕
As always it comes down to why. The best silver to stack for SHTF is likely different than for wealth preservation or investment. Great video!
Thanks for watching, Charlie!
The Canadian maple leaf are my favorites . They're just a good high quality coin 🤓
I agree! Very nice job on the Maples!
I have to agree, and I like the fact that they have a fiat value of $5 CAD and marked .9999. Perhaps the reverse of a collapse will happen, and they discover JP Morgan's stash of manipulated silver and add 200,00 tons to the market or something.
for 2018 and after yes. before that, milkspotting is horrible.
@@davefried What does that mean? Ive never heard that term milkspotting. Thanks
@@davefried What is "milkspotting?"
I think that you are likely correct or at least close. I think Mercs would probably be better even though they have a higher level of Silver loss. When Silver begins to trade, it'll be weighed, so the weight loss issue is really irrelevant. I think American dimes in general is the best thing to have, but I also think that diversity within your stack is your friend, so I would continue to buy a wide range of Silver. Once the market psychology really changes the recognition and desire for both Gold & Silver will change dramatically. And when things truly get bad, the recognition of and methods of dealing with Silver will be sought out and learned quite quickly. The point for people holding Silver is to sell their Silver slowly and ONLY AS NEEDED because the real point to sell your Gold & Silver is when things have stabalized and the system has been rebooted.
Thanks for your comment. Honestly, I have a belief in this whole thing and so does everyone who comments. Nobody is going to know exactly how things will go 100% when "that time" comes but we're using our best judgement and ideas. Truly, only time will tell! I believe my choice to be the best option period. Mercury dimes are still a great option and so is any junk silver out there... all my opinion :) luckily for me and most like me, I have some of everything so hopefully I can't go wrong ;)
@@johnnnoise Since silver has such a popular need through big businesses such as cars, solar panels, conductivity purposes. I know people will still care to purchase silver, just not the individual person since they may not afford it.
"I don't know why I'm using gloves"... LOL
Great video! I reached the same conclusions that you did, and I have some pre-64 Roosevelt dimes in my stack. I need to get more. I also have 1oz silver coins/rounds. 👍🏽👍🏻👍🏿
Great minds think alike! ;)
I just suggest what my personal opinion on the very best..not second place...not a decent choice...the best in my opinion. There's many types of silver and diversity should certainly be a part of a good stack.
Thanks for the comment!
I like to stack Mercury dimes more. But both are good to have.
It’s ok to have your preference.
I also like mercury dimes because they are easily distinguished from modern Roosevelt dimes.
I disagree. I prefer the mercury dimes. Yes, they are a little more worn. But every single one is 90% silver (minted 1916-1945). Anyone can tell at a glance your dime is good. With the roosevelts the other party has to take out a magnifying glass and check the date on each and every dime; 1946-1964 good, 1965 and after worthless base metal. This would slow down transactions.
SD bullion is selling mercury dimes at 20 cents less per troy oz than roosevelts, though most places charge more for the mercuries.
I like franklin halves best of all (1948-1963) every one is 90% silver, unlike the Kennedy halves. And the franklins are much less worn than the earlier average circulation walking liberties.
Mercury dimes are good too!
I'm sure they don't lose money on either one, regardless.
@@iloveamerica1966 yep, it will always be worth .10
@Sarah Feldersuch a boomer thing to write. Lmao.
You dont have to check the date. Look on the side, and you wont see copper.
I agree with you 100%! Roosevelt’s are some of my favorites and most of the silver is still in the coin. I buy Roosevelt’s in complete sets only 1946 - 64-D. I have 27 complete sets and like the individual date set-up. I never buy in a date repetitive tubes of 50. The difficult dates (key dates if you wish to call them) are 1946-S, 49-S, 50-S and of course the all elusive 1955 -P,D &S. How often do you get one of these in a tube purchase.... NEVER! Be well, stack on!
Woohoo! Nice Terry! Even nicer that you agree with me ;) I appreciate the comment! Stack on
Great video keep up the good work we need more videos like this
Dimes, quarters and halves bought at spot.... best
best!
David Harbuck where or who to buy from???
I like diversity when it comes to stacking. Junk silver, bars, bullion coins.
Right on regarding fractional stacking. Silver dimes also conceal and fit nicely in a money belt.
Easy and light weight. Love them
Wow great silver stack 🔥
I got 100 mercury dimes for just over $100. That is 7 ounces.
Good deal on those Mike!
If you put a 10 ounce silver bar in someone’s hand, you always get the same look.
No way am I putting a 10oz bar in someones hand! ;)
Excellent job, I never looked at it that way. Thank you.
Thank you for your support, Nelson!
I like your thinking for spending on small items.
I think mercs might be better just because if someone who doesnt know what date makes a coin silver they will see that its a different design and that may make it easier to convince them that it is silver... Plus at every coin shop ive ever been to the mercs are the same price as Rosie's... Slight silver loss but not much at all really and they are way cooler looking :)
EDC with Aaron -I agree with your choice of Mercs. Roosevelts could be too confusing because clad ones are the norm.
You're either telling people "Oh yeah, these are mercury dimes and they're all 90% silver" or with Roosevelts you're saying "Any dime pre-65 is 90% silver"
Either way, you're going to have to explain your case to someone who hasn't seen one before. That being said, if there truly was an economic crisis, and silver was once again currency, that people would be blind to what silver is.
Thank you for the comment!
EDC with Aaron I agree with you about the Mercs being better and less confusing.
Junk silver is what I expected to hear as the choice for best, then I would have agreed.
The only disadvantage to the mercs are they are more worn and in most cases aren't full weight.
I think people would learn very quickly what junk silver is. Also, doesn't the 14 dimes per ounce account for average wear?
You are 100% correct with the dimes, I agree.
Cool! Someone agrees with me! :) thanks Bob!
I agree with you. I knew what you were going to choose from the first minute.
Because... great minds think alike and you...have...a...GREAT...mind!
I completely agree with you, and thats the reason why I’ve stacked several pounds of these coins.
Thanks for your support, PM Pack Rat!
Also in this situation maybe copper jacketed lead is something to stack 😊
David Boyd --- Ya think
Am not worry about selling love 100oz kilo bars
10oz coins
One day someone is going to sell the stack I made.
bandsaw could easily make quick work of that bar. great video, subscribed
Great video, just discovered your channel. I had a conversation recently about stacking for SHTF with someone who knew nothing about silver. He wanted to start collecting some and was immediately drawn to constitutional. Makes good sense to me for the reasons you mention…...Though I have a real preference for Mercury's.
A lot of people love the Mercs Bob.. so you’re not alone. I love them too but for the purpose of this video I made aware that they are more worn on average in comparison to Rosies. Glad you discovered me!
Paid a premium for my dimes because I thought of buying a loaf of bread 8 years ago. also, 1/10 oz gold.....
Interesting... how much for the gold?
People that don't know silver will think they are worth 10 cents
They will learn awfully fast.
If refuse junk silver anyway
Brett Middendorf it's good for you and me the long it goes because we can get them out of there pocket.
That's why Mercury dimes may do better as they were minted when some of the Baby Boomers entered the World = recognizable.
Also, Mercs have the advantage of being an "old-timey money" that infers an intrinsic value to the coin itself.
Err on the side of caution: buy the Mercury dimes and the 1946-1964 Roosevelt (
:)...Good point; People ARE stupid...By and large.
Beautiful stack Sir. Thank you.
I appreciate you thinking so! This was all for example and reference purposes! Thanks for watching!
Don't forget about base metals also guys. Right now it's on sale. I'm talking about pre 82 cents and all dated nickles. Right now is worth a little more than their face value. Stack a few boxes of nickles from your bank, don't even have to sort them, they are all 75% copper and 25% nickle. The cent you need to sort for the 95% copper which is for sure 1981 and earlier. The 1982 cent was the transitional year from 95% copper to 97.5% zinc with a copper coating so you need to weigh your 1982s. Copper cent will weigh 3.1gm and a zinc will weigh 2.5gm. But nowadays people keeping the zinc cents too because the zinc cent metal value is catching up with its face value. All gain and no risk. If on a small budget go for boxes of nickles and cents. Better than holding a fiat dollar any day of the week. 😊
Definitely agree with the poured stuff, love it but art does have a massive premium..
Great video, 1oz rounds for me all the way!
Nothing wrong with your preference at all. Thanks for the comment!
I love me some junk silver😂😂
Me too. I LOVE that junk!
Thank U Sir I'm new on this u make perfect sense.
I’m happy to help!
Hey Speg, you make a great point, I was think about this very subject a couple of weeks ago, I am a stacker, growing my gold stack with pre-33's and have been stacking silver since 2010 on and off, now im stacking full speed a head because of what going on in the country, Right now. Im stacking ASE's and also have three rolls of generic 1oz bullion rounds and I just got into barber half dollars,I just love the way they feel and look, they gives me goose bumps lol, but my thought is that they weigh in at .361 ozT ea so 3 of them is a little over 1ozT (1.13 ozT to be exact) and I was look at getting some 1/4 oz bullion and In my opinion barbers are better then buying 1/4oz .999 silver bullion because doing the math for a barber half dollar which in todays spot is $26.43x.90 purity of US silver coins is $23.78x.361= $8.58 per barber melt, while a 1/4 ozT .999 fine bullion weighs in a .25 ozT the math is $26.43(spot)x.25=$6.61; so if my calculation is correct barber half dollars are $1.97 more in melt value then the 1/4ozT .999 fine bullion, so I would think that 90% Constitutional silver is a better stacking medium and bartering medium compare to any bullion under 1oz. What do you think? Thank you and stay safe
You're totally right! I've been small denomination stacking since the 80's...I'd love to buy dimes, quarters and halves every day...There are still billions of them on the market...Someday, they'll all be gone...All the pre 64 stuff will be stored away and we'll be stuck buy post 64 special mint issue or off beat mint stuff...Buy it while you can...
Right on!
@Mario Salinas It's the best way to really save money, real money! I hope you're still stacking, It's going to be going UP UP UP! I remember buying Silver Eagles for 7 bucks, then selling half my stack for 50 bucks apiece when I hit a rough patch in 2011...
@@godbluffvdgg I would like to buy silver Roosevelt or other wise. Where should I turn too?
4:48 *NAH, people WON'T be "looking through my stack" in SHTF, bro.... !!!*
They will if you need to trade silver for something... no?
The Eagle dude I about fell the f@&k out when I read that!!! Smashed the thumbs up. Lmao!!!!!
@@asmrcharlie4605 👍🏻👍🏽👍🏿😁😁😁
@@Spegtacular no, they won't *be looking through my stack* ... they'd be dealing with my weapons *long before* that. The only person looking through my stack would be me. 😁😁😁
The Eagle dude I said nearly the same thing on Backyard Bullions channel. I was cool about it and he totally came at me like I was some nut for saying I wouldnt let the government confiscate my PMs!!
I have Roosevelt dimes in my stack. They would work in a SHTF situation. A roll of 50 dimes is a bit over 3.5 troy oz. I remember many years ago during a gas crisis there was a gas station owner accepting a Roosevelt dime for a gallon of gas.
Awesome information! I wonder if the gas station owner is one of my subscribers ;)
Great video. I’ve been stacking Franklin half dollar coins here lately, got to love those dimes. Keep calm and stack on
Right on! Love some Franklins too
Siilver 'shot' has to be the most stupid form of silver out there.
Its sold mostly to those who perform their own custom pours. Very important to have access to it if you wanna mold rings or jewelry.
Oh yeah,what about wearwolves?
When the time comes for survival coins,diamonds, money will be worthless.
soap,dried food, long life tinned food,fuel,seeds will be king.
Think cave man cos that's what it will be.
I think we can agree that there are different levels of surviving and some really bad times may result in the needs you’ve spoken about if things get absolutely apocalyptic. However, an economic collapse is not one where guns/ammo/canned food/etc are the only solution.
Ive started collecting alcohol 5cl miniatures and I'll trade them for beans bread and water. Alcohol will be a good commodity it will also be good for infections not just drinking.
This is not just for SHTF, but afterwards when things stabilize and silver/gold are worth much more than they are now.
When the worst is over.... and rebuilding starts, then it will be valuable
Love your #1 choice. Your reason and rationale is spot on! By extension, you could say the same for junk quarters too, but I know your follow-up argument for that. Seems the coin shows I attend have the quarters but not the dimes. Hmm.
Quarters are second best... then halves.. agree? :)
Great video! Congrats. I just resonantly by 200 grams of this and silver Washington for 9$/oz. (may be the silver will really drop under 10 soon, if they sell on this price already) They are great. Good luck.
silver maples better than eagles. actually shows 9999
And it is not a bullion because it says 5 dollar
Also, industry demands 9999 purity!
this should only take about 10 minutes
You should make videos then.
I completely agree with you! My stack is made up of just under 70% junk silver and about 29% government bullion and 1% poured silver. I want to get a little more gov. Bullion but love the fact that I can get junk silver for and below spot.
I don't want to make a case against government bullion and I hope I didn't do that. I just wanted to present my thoughts for the best and it's generally a thought that isn't accepted in the silver stacking world as you know...most people feel government bullion is superior and I simply disagree. That being said, I don't think that government bullion is bad to stack by any means!
Thanks Alex!
Pre-1965 silver coins are the best. Patiently bidding on 99 cent ebay auctions with free shipping is the best way to buy. If you bid on a bunch and win only one, you don't get stuck with $3 shipping plus your bid. Patiently bid and win some low priced auctions. Most of the time you get outbid but when you win it's for your price and a low price
You have actually won some? Nice
@@Spegtacular Yes, win lots of auctions, but get outbid on many more. Try to just stick to my highest price; if I get outbid then I move on
In a economic collapse my firearms will be the best for negotiations.
That's true...But remember, everyone else has one or 20 themselves...It'll be a tough "negotiation"
The most precious metal is brass. Period
And if I and others observe your "negotiations" through our scopes from 200yds away how does that end?
Changes in the rules of engagement when the world flips over will be interesting
Best of luck to all
Peace
I agree with you, but I like both dimes and quarters. The premiums are extremely low, they're recognizable, and it's fractional silver.
A little of both! I like it. I had to choose the top option though ;)
Good points! I do stack silver dimes, often the price is good too, then I buy. About the .999 silver bars and rounds: I would now only buy the best brands such as Canada Maple, Pamp Suisse in Essay, Silver Eagles because they are well known. The trouble is for a lot of unknown brands and even some knowns, that there are chinese (and others) FAKING bars. They even sell them on Amazon. I already alerted Amazon through some bad reviews for known scammers, believe it or not Amazon warned ME to stay out of this.. no idea why they allow those fake silver sellers on their site. Anyway, thanks for your good input, love your style.
You're right, brother. Constitutional Dimes and quarters are going to be the best. I actually bought 2 $100 face value bags from APMEX..one of Dimes and one of quarters. I think half dollars.. Benjamin's or Walker's will be ok too. Especially if you're going to buy $20 to $40 worth of merchandise...It'll be easier to carry 4 to 6 half dollars and maybe about 10 dimes.
