A little tip for online retail buying if you're active duty/ veteran/ retired or first responder. Get in touch with their customer service and ask about discounts. I buy a lot from JM Bullion because they sell to military and veterans at the "as low as" price for any quantity.

@edwardhubbard9769 absolutely agree. Similarly, I can get a single new sunshine mintmark one oz silver buffalo round from JM cheaper than I can get an "any mint any condition" round from SD (unless I buy 100 from them)

SD’s credit card price is $30 less than JM’s but SD takes forever to ship. Great Lakes Coin’s price is $20 less than SD’s and if I order before 2pm, my parcel is shipped the same day. We aren’t talking like SD sending you the tracking number and actually putting it in the mail 4 days later. We are talking picked up by the carrier the same day.

Gold is cheap in the US for now. I live in Central America. Gold is very expensive to buy and to store where I live. They only pay spot for the gold when you sell, no matter what coin or bar you have. Many dealers pay less than spot. You have to be careful who you deal with. You cant trust anyone. As time goes on this issue will become more wide spread in the US also. We are headed for hyperinflation. You need a meaningful stash of gold that you feel you can hoard long enough for this hyperinflation cycle to pass. When the dust settles the hope is that you will have enough value there that you can start over again.

Anything that’s not priced for its numismatic value or limited mintage value will very likely be sold by us (or some future generation) at spot price. That means 2 things: Purchase coins/bars/etc at lowest premium possible and hold for the long term.

I've only been stacking for a short time but what I have learned and this is purely my opinion...but many stackers put WAY too much premium into design etc. When you resell you shouldn't expect anything more than spot no matter what design is on it unless it somehow has been AUTHENTICATED to be worth x% more premium by way of previous sales/auctions etc.

Same here. I've always lived below my means, saved religiously, worked hard, spent carefully, and invested wisely. My depression era mom taught me this. To this, I added 'find a great spouse and stick with them for life'. My needs are simple, our wealth has grown nicely, and if I want to put $300k or so into PMs, there's no one stopping me. My wife isn't into metals but she knows that I am, so doesn't object. Also, we have a his, hers, and ours money system, so how I spend / invest my money is my business. I think that she'll approve of all this once it becomes a lot more clear to her that buying PMs was a very wise move. That's what happened with our retirement planning but it took a few of her friends moaning about going back to work from retirement to convince her that not everyone plans well for retirement. 🙂

I ordered one of the Pamp Suisse Lunar dragons bars recently, cool design and It's currently in the "never want to sell" category. May get another when I can in order to justify keeping one. Curious to see what the Perth Dragon will look like if I haven't already seen it.

I love your vids. Very interesting and simple. Can any one on here tell me where or who is the best dealer to buy from in the uk? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I just bought the Pamp silver dragon bar. I really thought hard about it since 1 oz of silver for $50. (I bought 5). I knew the year of the dragon was going to get me, oh well. The lunar dragon will be next, lol. Overall, i stick to the plan, buffalo's, and eagles. Great video, like always.

I remember buying the Istanbul gold grams for $25 each back in 09ish. Now they are $70.

Only reason I don't buy high relief silver rounds is because of the extra effort you need to make that premium back, and you probably won't even make extra. The only profit you could possibly make from these ultra high premium coins, is the difference in spot price from the day you purchased to the day you sold, that is if you could find someone that will buy the premium you paid in the first place!

I am diversifying my portfolio. Two more dirt bikes in the shed…. Somehow I think they will keep costing me money and no one will pay what they are worth to me? Lol but it’s not a Daffy Duck coin. 😅

I want liquidity always and I never figure on getting more than spot at the sale. And yeah, I expect to supplement my monthly incomes from my stack when I retire for off-the-books increases to monthly budget and spending money. I am not a collector and refuse all numismatic premiums. Because it's affordable, I will be collecting the new silver "Commander" series from SDB That's my only "just for fun" outlet.
