You have to sell to a precious metal guy you have in the area or a precious metal shop. Also, if you don't have the tools and knowledge on how to fully test gold and silver, i would never buy on eBay. Additionally even with proper test tools and knowledge I never buy more that 1/10 oz of gold or 1 oz of silver from a person so if it turns out to be fake there is less on the line as part of the ebay claim... Additionally, I would only trust buying from well established US shops that have stellar seller ratings.. finding a trusted local shop is best and safest.

Thank you for that information, new to stacking although I have bought a fair lump of silver my attention was turned to sovereigns and have acquired a few inside my budget. Will continue when funds allow. Thanks again.

Often go to the coin dealer saying I’ll buy a gold Britannia or a Maple Leaf, but end up buying a couple of historical Sovereigns instead. They’re just cheaper individually, and a lot more fun. Always thought I was just not a very effective ‘stacker’ and was being tempted away by the numismatic aspects, but interesting to see you’ve reached the same conclusion as me. ;-)

You’re right it’s very hard to outweigh heart. I also agree with you with silver. The problem with silver right now and even gold for that matter so the premiums. If you can get silver rounds/coins at $1-$2 over spot go for it. Most coins are going for $10 over spot and silver will have to go up a lot to make it back. It may go up this year but it’s still pretty risky.

Agreed, I also made a number of poor purchases when starting out. I hope I am somewhat wiser these days :)

I think commemorative proof crowns are a good investment. I just bought a 1977 Queens Jubilee .925 silver crown with case and COA for damn near spot price. It's common, but really stunning. A new 1oz silver Britannia bullion coin (same weight) is almost double spot price, even direct from the Royal Mint! An oz of silver is an oz of silver. I'm purely stacking as a hedge against inflation and a store of value, not really for numismatic value. I also started buying a few victorian silver coins, but only if i can get them near spot price. I also have an Aldernay quarter gold sovereign, low mintage. Nice. Thanks for the info!

It's definitely tough to balance what is and isn't a 'good deal'. Even without the high premiums, I feel like many times I am buying metals knowing that I could not turn around and sell it back for the same price. If I take it to an LCS I will likely take a hit on the premiums and if I sell it for a bit more on EBAY, then there is 15% fees as well as shipping to deal with - not to mention the higher risk. I am pretty new to metals and I am realizing more and more that it is definitely more of a 'savings' and a long term investment.

I unintentionally started to stack fractional gold because I’ve been using the gold pesos as pendants and have worn them around my neck like jewelry . Pesos are more worth it to me just for the jewelry aspect . I’ve had a few offers to buy my pendants off me because people don’t genuinely understand how much their worth and how they themselves can order the coin and pendant .

One thing I would say, If you're buying silver in the 10oz bar range, even if silver dips you're typically able to dollar cost down quickly where as 1oz Gold for most people you make your purchase and you can't turn around a week later and just follow the down market.

A good take; I agree regarding silver. My only point of disagreement is that some of the limited edition fractional bars can have a nice, reasonably short term increase in value.

Thanks for another video

First I don’t normally buy either silver or gold based on the design. I buy it based cost. I had a monthly subscription each month but after looking at surcharges and shipping I stopped the subscription and bank the cash and each quarter I buy enough to spend what I accumulated. This way I pay one shipping fee and sometimes I get a lower surcharge based on quantity. Also most services offer newly minted/casted bars and round but also offer a random option I may get a new sealed bar/round or a redeemed bar/round with a random design. Most come sealed but a couple were tarnished however that is easily polished if needed. I normally only choose specific designs on the bars and rounds I’d priced the same. I only buy a legal tender coin if it’s a good deal or design means something special to me on rare occasion

Couldn’t agree more with the bonus ramble.

Also, I like the new sovereigns. I think they will age well. I am tempted to get a half for a ring

Thank you, I've been thinking about stacking for a little while. I would have bought the proof point as I use to collect proof coins if i didnt watch this and would had made so many mistakes like buying kugers. I'm only looking at around £200 a month to invest.

I think the second hand market for silver in the uk through TSF for example is pretty healthy and means you can avoid most of the tax premiums, I wouldnt buy new and there is more volatility risk which can be a potential benefit too. Im stacking both; silver is easy to purchase satisfying lumps and as long as they're well liked i dont think it would be too hard to shift them. Gold is definitely more of a head purchase and 1/4 brits/qbs and sovs are where i mostly focus, with a few nice foreign coins to spice things up, generally it does deliver less of a dopamine hit though. Im weighed more towards silver right now but front loaded with pieces i liked, i'm closing the gap over time and by the end of next year expect to have more value in gold. I steer clear of proofs, i dont doubt they will continue to be a valuable market and understand how scarcity can effect price but i get enough satisfaction from bullion and it serves my aims of saving something that is liquid but high enough friction to ensure i dont waste the money. On the bucket list once ive got a decent collection of fractional coins is a cast gold bar, totally impractical and pretty illiquid but something like a perth 5 or 10oz would be art and investment.

Lots of BRITs and some maples. I have one tube of American silver eagles, despite the high premium, just because, well, I’m an American. And then I did get into some more collectible coins. I really got into the Queen’s beast series and paid an absurd premium for a few of the older 2 ounce coins, but it’s pretty satisfying to have the full collection of 2 ounce coins. And they seem to be increasing in value. I also really enjoy the 10 ounce British coins. There’s something so satisfying about their mass and heft. And I’ve been able to pick up quite a few of those at fairly low premiums. Anybody out there want to buy a 10 ounce Yale coin? 😂

I collected some us and silver coins back in the 90s just as a hobby. Wanted to go back and get some silver and gold coins just for fun and gifts. One of the things that spoke me is how there are fake coins circulating. Before the fakes were metallic so using a magnet would help spot them. Seem they got really good at using non-metallic materials and make them weight the same as the real ones. Would be good if you have a video on an easy way to test them out.

With the cash transactions threshhold for private transactions tightening here in Europe, down to 1,000€, it makes more sense to stack fractional, specially with gold revaluation possibility rising. Also inflation competes with income and it's harder to transact full ounces. IMO

@@The_Raven_ explain, I think he makes a good point

If given the opportunity to buy a 1oz Britannia or 10x 1/10ths what would or should I buy? Confused because the 10ths work out more expensive! My goal it to tuck away all my current and future wealth in physical and for all intents and purposes ( big brother) Be skint.

Just started collecting silver and gold as a hobby. I have around 30 grams of gold jewelry in a bracelet and necklace i wear. Obv not all of that weight is gold as the bracelet is only 10k but the necklace is 24k. Gonna focus on silver first and try to get up to about 10-20 ounces before i start on some gold sovereigns. I ordered a one ounce silver myth and legends king arthur coin last night that i really liked just for my first coin since i dont ever plan on selling that one. Next im looking for the Britannias, buffalos, and eagles. Like to get a couple 10 0z bars as well.
