I managed to snag 2 buffalos at spot in Daytona on Saturday so it wasn’t a total waste of my day lmao. 40 isn’t bad , if I didn’t take the break I’d probably have close to 150-200 .

One coin/ounce at a time. 20 years from now when silver is $200 an ounce you can sit down and look back at the start in 2024. By then you should have at least 10 thousand ounces, 500 ounces a year is a possible target. Congrats on your first 40 ounces and a future silver fortune of 2 Million Dollars...

​@@mikeladley5149What?

PF = Proof. Specially prepared dies (polished). The planchettes (coins) are typically struck twice to bring up all the details on the dies. The planchettes are also typically polished or at least carefully rolled and cut prior to striking. MS = Mint State. Planchettes are mass produced and single struck on regular production dies. MS coins typically have a frosty appearance while proof have a mirrored appearance.

On the gold coin it’s an MS/Mat due to the fact that it’s not a gloss/PF the mint sells both mint and uncirculated.

I only have 2 collectibles, one batman coin my mom got me many years ago (which I recently found out was silver) and a Dr who coin my wife got me for Christmas.

As a newbie, I bought only slabbed coins in the early days. Then I realised the folly of my ways. However, do still buy the occasional numismatic coloured coin because they do look exceptional.

Thank you for the video.

I quite like the different toning on the numismatic coins! When I come to the USA 🇺🇸 next year, I’m going to buy as much as I can bring bank to Australia 🇦🇺

If you can get a slabbed coin for regular price, then should leave it in the slab because it authenticates it better. If I’ve got 2 guys offering me a gold buffalo for half of a cow, and one is slabbed, I’m taking that one. But agree to not pay extra as you did with Tim.

TRUE! Moisture. Should have mentioned that.

I have bought graded silver eagles, but only as gifts. The one exception is the type one and type two silver eagles, I did buy one of each in a PCGS slab. Not because I thought they'd be more valuable down the line. I just wanted them. My type set is a different story. Every coin is a slabbed example in the best condition I can afford. It's often times several months between additions to my type set. Sure is rewarding when I do get that next coin.

I’m one of the ones that buys those once or twice a year just because I think they are pretty and I like having them. They’re on annual subscription from the U.S. Mint. Are they overpriced? Heck yeah they are. I still like them. But yeah I agree no one should stack them like boring bullion

Won't buy the graded stuff. But when I started stacking, I said no gold and only the best deals on $ilver. Wellll bought a little gold and fell in love with all fancy coins and rounds. So who knows .... Phil out ....

only times i've bought graded bullion was when the price is equal to the raw price or if only the graded is available from the dealer I'm at & the price difference isn't worth the time to find a raw one elsewhere.

Nice gold stack brother.

I've basically figured out that graded bullion, unless it's for "rare" dates, is virtually useless. I walked an MS70 $50 American Gold Eagle around an ANA coin show and was basically offered a tad above spot and not much over raw. Grade silver Eagles are even worse and almost all treated as raw essentially.

This vid auto played as I am a newish and very interested collector/stacker, so I didn't see the thumbnail until the end when I went to comment. As a beginner it really gave me some confidence that I knew which coin and why asap

Does anyone know when the 3rd Commander coin is coming out? Any idea who will be on it?

Numismatics and stacking weight are 2 different things. I personally choose both. Also, history of type coins has increased in value way more than spot values. Like waaaaay more, depending on what type of coins. He should've said, don't stack what you aren't educated on.

I have several modern gold coins that are graded but picked them up at a non graded price just like YS did. I won't pay for graded precious metals but that Patton was fantastic looking!

I started stacking because I was (and still am) a coin collector. Certified coins are fun if you're a collector. If you're stacking the only reason to buy certified bullion is if you're confident that you can make a profit on it. If that Buffalo had been MS70 and you bought it close to spot you could make money on it. An MS 69 may as well be cracked out because there's no advantage at all. The PF stands for Proof, which is a high die polish coin, mostly with high shine fields and frosty features. They're designed to be pretty. The MS stands for Mint State which is a standard circulation strike, with "circulation" in quotes when it comes to bullion, that is made from dies designed to push large numbers of coins with less reflective surfaces. Thanks, Yankee!

Trying to figure that out, Elle!

Great video, metal does tarnish over time, it gets spots of various types etc, both gold and silver, it is just what it does and it can take many years. However the one good thing about bullion is that you do not need to be concerned too much by the condition. Most of my gold coins for example are best value gold sovereigns, that means they are worn, that is the way I like it and most of my Silver Eagles are toned and worn and they are lovely. Life is too short to be worried about scratches and digs and the grade, just buy the metal and stack as you say. Great video. A bullion dealer will likely only pay the bullion price for graded coins as well. I think there is an easier way, towel on top and bash with a hammer gently.

Will you be giving full transparency on how much you invest and what % that is of your total portfolio Yankee? Love the videos but some context on the promotional aspect would be great 👍

I got into precious metals right around the time when the Type 2 eagles came out, so I bought a First Strike gold eagle to pass down to someone. I figured it might be a nice collector's item decades from now. I think I might have one silver eagle slabbed, but that's it.

Just checked. I have 2 slabbed silver eagles. One is another 1st Strike. The other is from the Philadelphia mint. Same idea with the passing them down to someone.

Yankee, we need more videos of Tim telling us about the price of gold and silver going down every time he talks about that the prices skyrocket hopefully we can get to $40+ silver and $2500+ gold

The only graded & slabbed stuff I hold is pre-33 gold and pre-21 silver. For those I go high grade and specific dates & mints for greater numismatic value as a collectible. I'm also buying graded/slabbed at a market bargain, not just automatically buying like I would stacking material. The bulk of my stack is bullion, not slabbed. Two products, kept for two purposes. I also found it humorous you broke the Buffalo out of the slab and then put it in another case for the bullet. Oh, I do buy graded ASE's for my grandson (MS69 brown label NGC - not the up priced early blah blah blah high premium stuff). Buy when first released every year starting when he was born in 2018. I'll give them to him when he is an adult, but he likes to see them with my stacked supply in the safe now and understands those are special. I'm hoping he will appreciate stacking early. Those are not for a profit, but more for him in the future to remember us by and hopefully start his own stack and collection.

I think a coin has to be at least 3yr old before able to get a 70 to make sure it doesn't milk spot. Just my opinion.

Some stuff is for stacking and some is for fun.

I bought a silver eagle first strike.... it bought it for under the going rate during the period when eagles have $13 premium. The eagles were selling for $43 at dealers and I got this one for $38.

I definitely agree with your point. But I would say, you probably could’ve sold that slab and used the money to buy another buffalo and the additional premium to buy an additional 1/4oz to add to the stack. Couple of 1/10s at least….

The only Slabbed silver I have is ONE MS70 American Silver Eagle of each year since inception. I buy One every year.

When ASE’s are $5-7 premiums. And you can pick up GRADED ASE 69s & 70s on whatnot for about $9-10 premium (if your patient and careful). A lot of times, depending on their designation, these coins are bringing $30-50 premiums on eBay. There’s a lot of room there to make a few bucks. I typically stay away from slabbed bullion but I’ll admit I’ve been guilty of picking them up when the premium ends up being just an extra couple bucks. They’re so pretty!

I like high grade slabbed bullion coins because you get an unscratched coin for your money, I hate scratches

I have been finding some high grade coins, around the same price as regular bullion. That i find as a positive.

Good video

Slabbed ATB 5 oz quarters are great for flipping! Premiums have skyrocketed over the years

Proof coins are struck with specially polished dies, so normally have a mirror like background field and sometimes a frosted foreground which contrasts with that. Buffalos struck in proof usually have a higher premium. I think a lot of the times you will find a lot of modern slabbed coins in MS-69 at close to bullion prices because people will take the best examples they can find and pay for them to be graded in hopes of receiving an MS-70 grade. All that come back as MS-69 they then sell as bullion.

Got burned on Numismatic coins 20 years ago. Never again, will not buy ever.

I would really like to get my 1851 3 cent O graded.

I didn't know anything about gold and silver but I was watching one of the peoples videos and she was very adamant about having old coins that the government can't confiscate so I bought a coin from the company that was 1400 2 years ago I wanted to sell it back and now it's worth $600 I would like you to do a show about that please

Graded coins are more a collectors thing. If you trade among collectors then graded can be a good investment IF you buy the right stuff. Question is, what should you buy? Definitely more challenging than just stacking where all your goals are oz vs price per spot + premium. As far as mining, if you want to invest in stock there is no more risk than holding something collectible. At end of day, holding something physical pending time permits is likely to be your best bet!

I already did. and i like it a lot. Semi numis now are my grandkids gold. Either way, you slice it. A cowboy already made their treasure map to a bequeathed.

I watched one where the coin dealer said we were off the gold standard in 1933 ..That's not true ..the people were forces off the gold standard but the Gov't still pegged their currency to the gold holdings ..otherwise we would've hyperinflated away before 1945. Bretton Woods agreement was the settlement of the dollar replacing the Pound Sterling as the global reserve currency. The allies agreed to it because of gold backing the paper and Gov't

they won't grade it first strike unless you sent it in 2 months or less after it was released, it's meant to mean that it had used a new die, but I admit these days with the new equipment it doesn't mean much, but before 1836 when dies were handmade and powered, first strike would seriously mean something. 1850 double eagles and 1854s double eagles both used a brand new die, as did 1874 cc doubled eagles and they have a strong strike

idk , i like slabbed coins if you can get them close to non slabbed price... definitely a good protective case, but if i buy slabbed coins they are morgan dollars.....

I have a v a u l t of silver ounce coins, graded all ms70, pr70, uncirculated, everything. the premiums are never going to be even in a realistic ballpark for what you are paying for a plastic tab. however, for older coins, this is probably your best bet for long term investment returns.

Pretty cool

Graded numismatics are great, better than stacking bullion for return on investment if you know what you’re doing. Slabbed modern stuff is almost always a bad investment, outside really few select rare pieces like the recent V75 privy mark AGE and ASE
