I can argue for 15-20% premiums. Everyone needs to make a living, and profit margins are necessary. When the premiums are 75-100% that's uncalled for. Especially when the buyback prices remain 5-10% over spot.

In my experience, you can often find previous year Maples for less than 2022 premiums. I've found occasional deals at JM Bullion on them at very acceptable prices. Even look at their non-sale prices for Maples today. To you, it's a question if your Monster Box has to all be the same date? Or if it just has to be 500 Maples.

Then weeks went buy saying I had purchased 5 and didnt fulfill my part. So they charged me a 250 $ for los preventions. Even though the gold I was supposed to get made a profit - not a loss..

Why do you buy from SD Bullion? What are the big benefits? Their prices are higher, and they require a $199 order before free shipping.

Did you get back to stacking maples?

Is there a reason you don't buy from places like golden state mint for lower premiums? Their maples are $5-6 over spot. I know you're sponsored by SD bullion, but I'd never even consider them because of their extreme premiums . . .

Iv only been stacking silver for 4 months and I'm already putting a hold on maple leafs. Beautiful coin to stack, but I agree the premium is too high. It's a little cheaper buying them in bulk, but unfortunately I'm an ounce at a time sorta guy.

Was buying 9mm for $9.99 regular price, and $7.99 on sale. Selling it for $50 a box last year. If I could get 5x my buy price on silver, I’d sell it all tomorrow.

I stopped buying the Britannia ever since I noticed that at least 1/3 of them developed mild spot. They really need to put a coating on those like they did with the maple leafs.

I fortunately have an LCS that sells that for a decent price, as they are an RCM Authorized dealer. I also live in Winnipeg, so I can purchase directly from the Mint, though that is for some reason a bit more expensive. But yes, they are more expensive than others. That said, when I was at my LCS last Saturday, I watched 3 people walk out with 6 monster boxes of Maples, so apparently people are still buying lol

I have a Germania beast set coming yet form 2020... cant wait. there rounds are so beautiful and 4 nines fine like the maple. Happy Stackin eh!

Maybe you can purchase from Toronto Gold Bullion. With the exchange on the dollar it might be cheaper?

Good call.

SD is a decent company, but it’s not hard to find cheaper. As for stacking, I agree with you on the maples. I love them, but yeah, the premiums are creeping higher.

True. There is a higher premium of Silver Maple Leafs - for two good reasons. There is a world-class security feature on the Maple Leaf’s not typically found on large silver bars. Secondly, when SHTF it will be will much easier for daily commerce/barter to deal in single ounce Maple Leafs than impractical, cumbersome silver bars.

As far as I'm concerned Bullion Coins are sovereign coins and should be noticed for their numismatic value with short mintages. A local dealer was not going to give no more than Gold Spot for a 2019 Gold Buffalo. I think there should be an official ruling on Sovereign Bullion Coins. What do you think Silver Dragons?

Everyone has their own approach, but living in the US I strictly stack eagles and maple leafs when i can get them for a good price which believe it or not is pretty often at my LCS! In my opinion some of the other items you can for spot or very close are a lot harder to move in my area

But don't u get almost half the premium for the sell price rn??? High or low? Govt coins r always valued over spot.

Hey Silver Dragons you should buy those 10 oz James Bond 007 silver Diamonds are Forever bars. The design is awesome. You need to get some of those bars. You should get more St. Helena 1 oz silver coins. Their design is breathtaking

I am with you and I have about 200 to 225. It's some odd number from buying sales. The premiums just too high. Averaging $6. I've been liking Britannia. To me and nicer coin and $2 cheaper. But if I see a good sale on Maples you know I will buy them. My favorite the maples but not the premium
