      Your goal should be at least 100 oz of silver, remember to purchase United States 90% currency, don't worry about numismatic or extra fine condition, just by dirty Old United States 90% currency because it will be recognized as 90% pure silver. Focus on pre-1964 dimes, quarters and half dollars such as Franklin's and Kennedy's, Walking liberty halves. That is fractional silver, it's very important to have a good amount of fractional denomination.

    Thank you for a sober and well thought out topic. Very well said. You bring up a very important concern.
    What happens if you are forced to sell? I see a lot of comments on how people say “I’ll just hold on to my silver until the price goes up” There is the distinct possibility that it could be a very long time.
    One needs to be wary of fellow you tubers telling you to “load the boat”… do they know you? Why are they so eager to help a poor stranger?
    There are several good reasons to buy and hold silver. Some fool on the internet telling you to load the boat is not one of them.
    There is always risk.

    I'm stilling buying silver, but not any more than I did a few months ago. I was lucky on my last order I waited a few days and saved a few dollars with the prices going down. I've grown to see stacking as a decent hedge against inflation. The more my humble stack grows the better I feel about what I'm doing. Though, my sights lately have been on fractional gold queens beasts. Thanks for the video friend keep up the good work, definitely excited for 2000 ounces lol.

    Am I missing something here? In the video you said that you could have saved the guy £150 due to the price drop. But you seem to be in the UK where silver is sold plus VAT at 20% which would mean he could have bought the silver on the table much cheaper in the US (although not Baird bars).

    I am very new and I can only buy a couple oz a week as I’m trying to kill my debt first. Up to 77 oz currently and it’s killing me because I just want to load up with the prices being good. I do not see going above 10oz bars though as I would like to stick with lower oz bars and rounds. Easier to break up in my opinion. What do you guys think

    • @BackyardBullion
      @BackyardBullion  Před 6 lety +1

      I think that having smaller denominations rather than one 100 oz bar is a good idea. Keep it so you can split it up if you need to.

      @khankrum1 Před 5 lety

      I am a pensioner living in Europe,so I buy a little at a time like yourself. I will say that I can not speak about the USA but I find that bars once for ounce seem to cost more than generic coins. But at the moment 10 oz Queens beats from Euro Mint seems to be a good buy at the moment for me to purchase. Britain is a flat bust, over priced, and over taxed. Better buy in the UK is gold. Even in small amounts, Britannia's are the best.

  • @berkeuslu
    @berkeuslu Před 5 lety +1

    Why there is a lot of price gap between bank silver and real physical silver. When I check the price for example market says it worth 100$ but when I want to buy same amount of silver like bars they say you need buy 200$. Why is that ?

      And why would platinum be preferable to silver ?

    • @jahllanjustitia
      @jahllanjustitia Před 5 lety +1

      It is also at a low and may outperform silver if you need to sell sooner. For example, I had a 1 oz. palladium coin I bought for $383 and was laid off two years later and silver was down considerably however palladium was double the amount and I was able to sell it for $780. Regardless, I never said platinum was preferable, however, diversification is preferable over one single metal.

  • @ZXC_ZXC1
    @ZXC_ZXC1 Před 6 lety +2

    First decide how much money you want to put into metals. If it's large like $50K you should consider gold instead of silver as it takes up less room to store and the purchase premiums are lower. While Baird and Geiger silver bars are cool to own they seem to have about a 10-20% premium over spot making them less desirable than the 2 oz queens beast series.

  • @coyrandolph3855
    @coyrandolph3855 Před 5 lety +1

    Sure feels good that everyone here is behind the curve. In the early 90’s Silver sold for $3.50 to $4.00 an ounce. At that time my P.M. Dealer didn’t charge a premium over spot. I went all in then and never looked back. Today my stack remains just as it had then without the Debt attached. It was apparent to me History would soon again repeat itself. This time the difference is Debt is well beyond the Stars in not just America but the World. In fact due to the Derivative Markets the true Debt is masked. Places like Chicago are borrowing 10 Billion in Bonds to cover a short fall in their Pension plans. People who have personal debt live in homes that are far beyond their means. Robbing Peter to Pay Paul is the game plan for 80% of American’s. Once this Derivative Market burns down it will create a Vacuum. Absorbing all Net worth across the spectrum of Markets. Yes that includes all Pensions, 401k’s, in which case the Banks will call in all paper. We are going to witness the complete absorption of any and all instruments of debt. The only remaining wealth will be true Wealth without debt attached. Take it from there and then do as you see fit.

      @InItForTheParking Před 5 lety +2

      Not everyone is in their 40s-50s so to say they are "behind the curve" isn't really a fair assessment. Heck, for a lot of people, if not a majority since most older folks are done investing, are currently in the apex of the lowest prices they have ever seen since they had the ability to buy.
      My real question would be that if you bought at 3-4 for years in the 90s and early 2000s...why are you not filthy rich now after the 2011 peak? I mean even if you didn't catch the peak that would have still been almost a 10 fold return. Any investor would be ecstatic about a 1000% return over 10-15 years. Given the history of silver spikes, you are unlikely to see it spike like that again in your lifetime.

    Here's the thing, most people wait till it's dropped to buy at cost. But, if you really want to invest, you want to wait for it to shift up @ buy over cost and then when it hits a high point, a really good high point then sell and then you can double or tripple and then you start reinvesting, and i don't buy alot at a time or buying that much and i keep my portfolio at %100 at apmex. Cause your investing, not buying unless you do just want to buy and then what's the point unless you melt it down and plan on Armageddon

    I would love to invest in silver, but unfortunately, I am a bit creeped out by it. All of my local coin dealers adamantly refuse to buy bars at spot, and in fact, want to charge me to have them melted down because they don't trust them. Seeing that the premium on coins amounts to as much as 25% of the cost of the silver, how can anyone expect to make money (or even preserve wealth) on silver without expecting a huge upswing in price to make up for the premium and the loss against spot? I only pay 2% on gold coins that everyone will accept, which seems much less risky / lossy. Am I missing something?

    Living in the UK, I have an interest in buying some precious metals. I get that silver seems cheap right now - but it seems to sell for so much over spot. Between vat and a much larger % mark up than people sell gold, it seems I'd have to lose 30+% at the moment I buy. Have you any suggestions on how to reduce this?

      Buy from a European dealer, I use www.europeanmint.com
      You don't pay VAT as they are based in Estonia, and as we are all part of the European Union (for now) there is no import taxes or duties. You can get silver for about 15 - 20% over spot usually

    • @BackyardBullion

    • @marrtins
      @marrtins Před 5 lety

      OK that would make sense if he wanted explicitly these 100oz bars? Is that the case? At what premium per oz you getting these bars if I may ask? I'm wondering if wouldn't he get more oz by simply buying generic bars in US for the same money + shipping? 20% VAT places a pretty burden in my opinion. Because later selling one loses 20% VAT or looking from other perspective one could get 20% more silver now. Thanks!

    • @BackyardBullion
      @BackyardBullion  Před 5 lety

      He did indeed want these specific bars and could not get them anywhere else. I would say the 100oz I was about to 25% premium including the VAT so not actually as bad as you think, but I agree the 20% of VAT is a killer. This guy is just a collector of different types of large bars, and sometimes as a collector you have to pay more. Ultimately though he's saving, for 30+ years and these premiums will disappear when silver prices generally grow over time. He knew what he was doing and happy to pay for them.

    I made my first purchase in over a year. Just 20 oz, if it goes lower I will be happy and buy more.
    In Australia the opportunity to buy silver this cheaply has only occurred a handful of times in the past 10 years.
    Silver could go a bit lower but it is hard to pick the bottom, my view is it is at a good price now.
    Having said that if stock market continues as it has done then silver will need to double in price just to cover the opportunity cost of forgoing an active investment. So I won’t be keeping all my savings in precious metals.
    The silver to gold ratio is far too high to consider gold instead of silver at the moment with a higher potential for large losses in gold.

    Silver is great just a warning, when preserving silver coins and bars ammo boxes are airtight and excellent just make sure they are american made. The chinese are fine but they dont hold water out just a note. Also when preserving never use rubber bands when preserving the rubber residue makes a black line on silver and its very very hard to get off, rubber residue goes through airtight plastic as well never use rubber bands. Vacume sealers are awsome for long term usage and sticking in ammo boxes are best in my opinion. Thankyou and have a great morning all

    I agree 100%. What I hear is that the best thing to do is to buy what they call "junk silver". These are pre 1964 circulated coins either silver dollars, half dollars, quarters or dimes. Besides which, I believe nickels are worth more for the metal than $0.05. The problem is it's illegal to melt them down so you really might as well spend them well it's still worth a nickel. LOL.

  • @harryzero1566

    Compared with any other commodity, silver is the most undervalued store of value. I used 'value' twice deliberately. Silver is also more readily available to anyone who has spare money in the bank. If you find gold a little bit out of reach, take comfort in the fact that it's most unlikely that silver will be disregarded as a precious metal. My personal opinion is that you should make your first choice of silver coin, in the denomination of your particular country. If you go into debt to acquire silver, you need to add the interest of that debt to the cost per oz of all the siver of your stack to get a true cost of your stack. If you begin to live amongst a hyperinflatiing economy, forget the calculations and feel a wash of self-satisfied smugness before you go to sleep.
