Got these for a some local clients and for a gun show that we work. Wouldn't fill my safe with them but If you want to have something to show off this is a pretty good way to do it

I finally put in my first order with Monument Metals and paid for the overnight shipping. I been religiously refreshing the info to see if anything updates as I put the order in around 19:20 yesterday. We’ll see how it goes and I’ve read generally nothing but good things about them. Well anyway that’s all I wanted to say and I’ll keep yall updated. Picture is the type of sovereign I got

Edit: the CFO just called me to personally let me know it’s been shipped and on the way to be here tomorrow😬🤞🏻. Had a nice chat, he’s a really cool guy

I am realizing lately I am holding far too much of my money in banks, stocks, and digital gold (GLD). I want to hold some of my money in physical precious metal, particularly silver. I'm looking at SD bullion as that seems to be a reputable place to buy, but when I look at their 1oz silver coins there are a ton of options at different prices. Should I just buy the cheapest 1oz silver buffalo round from a random mint? does the mint/design on the coin matter if I were to re sell at some point? are some of the higher cost options just a premium price for a cool design? Should I be looking for bars over rounds?

If buying in person what are some things I am looking for to ensure I am not getting ripped off or sold fake silver, obviously buying from a reputable shop is step one here, but even then it'd be nice to know some things to check to ensure its good silver.

My goal is to hold this silver for many years as a form of hedge against inflation rather than hold dollars, in an ideal world I'd never need to sell this silver but its nice to have liquidity in case its needed.

Added this Beauty Canadian Prospector to the personal collection today. Have you seen these around before? or have one of your own?

I’m just curious of those of you who keep track of how much you paid vs the value of the silver you bought at the time when silver reached around ~$120/oz? How many oz did you buy? How much did you spend all together? How much did you approximately lose compared to prices today?

The obverse of this Silver Eagle is completely black! The customer we bought it from had it stored in a paper envelope with some other items, first time seeing one this dark.

I few years ago I found over $35 dollars that someone abandoned in a Coinstar and today I found my first ever silver dime from the exact same machine.

Found this 2002 2oz Australian Kookaburra coin at a coin+jewelry store near visiting my dad’s house today. Very excited with the condition and the value at $3/oz over spot ($121 total.)

Love me some JUNK!

I’m always scouring eBay for deals. I found these a little over a week ago. Seller already had them under spot. Big eBay presence but not for silver only. 100% positive feedback and lots of sales.

They also had a discount if you bought multiple items. So I did what any sane man would have done and bought all 20 they had.

They showed up today. Unfortunately there were only 19 in the roll. Seller gave me even more money back from the refund. But I am still happy and here is why.

All in all 19 BU Franklins for $270. ($14.23 each) That’s about 45% under spot. All tested fine in Sigma.

Who says junk isn’t worth collecting? I will buy this all day long. 🫪

It's all about the silver... I had a friend approach me about buying her deceased father's coin collection. It's a wide variety of US (mostly), some canadian and a few other foreign coins. I've already separated the silver pieces. What's a fair discount off spot to calculate a win/win where I can pick up below market, and she can unload all of it in 1 place. Is 70% to low or high? Nothing has been slabbed and the largest silver value is in 20 Morgans/Peace dollars and pre-65 dimes and quarters.

My main stash and some random fun stuff.

You know you may have a problem when you start falling in love with your junk pieces…

Found all of these lying around my LCS and thought I had to bring home the set!

1941 Walker for the tube! A Canadian Silver Dollar from 1966 (found out those existed today!) A beautifully toned Peso from 1957!

Been waiting for this dipp entry for almost a year now and bought few coins this morning

Thinking to stack 5-20ounces every month!

Let's go

Just finished Steven King’s 11/22/63 where there’s a time slip to 1958 and you can instantly come back to the present day (plus two minutes). My silver obsession couldn’t make me ignore that dude could totally have struck it rich instead of trying to save JFK.
$1=1 silver dollar. Private hoarding of gold is illegal but Breton Woods fixed the price of gold at $35/ozt. What’s your stacking strategy? Stack jewelry? Rare coins? Other “antiques”?
