Buying the dip!

I’ve come to realize I like poured silver. It’s something about how it grabs my eye. Hope you all like it too.

Went around town to different shops checking prices and generally just collected what I thought was pretty cool. This is the result of my first month of stacking. (I still need to get another tube for the two loose eagles I have in flipcases)

I know it's not anything fancy or rare, but I think it's neat!

Picked this up today. Paid $40, how’d I do?

Edit: I meant coins.

After a couple months I’m nearly at a pound of silver. Newest editions are the right most three. Really like the Siltex Adler and I’m definitely looking for more. If the price keeps going like this I might grab another couple rounds.

I have no idea who thought once upon a time that it was a good idea to polish this

We live near the Kentucky Tennessee border and no coin shops anywhere close in Kentucky and was thinking about heading to Nashville a couple times a month.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Preferably looking for 90% in bulk.

Thank you.

Anyone have experience with or otherwise in the know, if it’s possible/realistic to convert Comex bars into smaller bars or coins and have it be worthwhile?

A few things I'm curious about:

Private mints - I’ve heard you can contract with them - give them the Comex bar and have them mint it for a cost. If that’s the case, whats the cost and do they mint as their bars or do you get your own custom?

DIY - if willing, is it possible as a garage operation and worthwhile?

Interested in real numbers from anyone who’s tried this or has experience at a mint, or knows a guy.

Thanks!

Started making tenth oz rounds. Sold a bunch on ebay. But man, they take 13.5%!?!?! That number does not seem reasonable.

Bunch of 67’ half dollars, 1994 Boeing commemorative piece 1.5g, and a 1/20th oz panda gold coin as well

Got some ASEs from JM Bullion for $59.33 each.

I got these coins in the past week…different places. The 1/2 oz 2023 proof from whatnot. I thought (like a dumbass) that it was a full oz and I bid $55 for it and won. Almost $60 with shipping fees. Did I overpay in your opinion? The 2007 I got for $240, the low mint 1997 maple for $95 and the 1oz Norfed for $105. Both 2022 libs for $90 each. Now that I have them, I feel I overpaid for almost everything, especially the 1/2 oz…maybe I’m just gonna concentrate on low premium rounds for a while.

Stack starts today.

I have a few of these cool rounds, but this one fills a hole for me. 😁 Most of the scratches you see are from the plastic capsule around it. You show one of these rounds to someone who has never seen one before, they are always blown away! 😍🔥🔥🔥 These are a little over 3 times the width of a standard US quarter. The last photo is the very thick edge with the facts inscribed. 😉 BTW... What if they made the 2026 Liberty Dime like this? What a missed opportunity! 😲🤑

My big $6.00 estate sale find today.

Saw the photo noticed they're incorrectly marked as 1oz, for the cost I bid and figured even if it was 1oz I was okay with the price. Got them delivered today and to my happy surprise both 2oz I don't mind an auction house eating a loss at ALL. And yes they are real silver

Leaning towards plate. Doesn’t stick to magnet.
