    Thanks for the education. Been stacking for a while, but always can use the education. I try to get a some from the four categories with the focus on the premium category as I see them as being easier to move with the least hassle; however, I do a little of deluxe premium because there are times you can get a little extra from them when you go to secondary market with no "middle man."

    I tend too buy a mixed bag I like new silver and am not so worried with the brand it’s what catches my eye but I also like a buy back as it has character with the dints and scratches and tells a story about who’s had it where or what it’s been stored and some times the toning is beautiful my favourite buy back I have gotten ages ago was an old Perth mint left facing swan bar .

    @@titanuranusJM Bullion sells 1 oz Engelhard Silver Bars for 40.65 and purchases them OTC for 25.41. Sure, they pay a little bit more over spot for them ($1.90) but look how much they're reselling them to the public for. If I purchase one for 40.65 I will only get 25.41 on the resale back to them. That's a complete rip-off for the consumer. All other online dealers have similar pricing structures. Like I said, Engelhard and Johnson Matthey bars are just a scam. Now if a consumer is able to retail these bars by themselves and get a price close to 40.65, then that's a different story.

    I like buy backs. I am new to the metals, and just the swings I have seen the past few months, make buying the dip really good. I have noticed 1kg silver bars do offer the lowest premium of 75 cents USD over spot when on sale. So personally I keep an eye on weekly deals from online retailers, and when the dip happens, pull the trigger. When Silver does go to the moon, premium wont matter. An ounce of ugly silver bar will fetch the same as an American Silver Eagle, which is exactly why I stay away from Silver Eagles. I just want cheap cost effective silver to stack for when silver goes to the moon. Kookaburras is where I do splurge. All the above reason and logic goes out the door 😎

    The "Germania" name comes from the Roman Empire, that referred to anything east of the Rhine River and north of the upper and middle Danube River as "GERMANIA". This would today include Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. Their coins and bars are second to NO ONE and have superior anti-counterfeiting and security features. They are LMBA certified and (at least in the US) not significantly more expensive than their competition. Their products are beyond reproach and when I order Germania bars, I know I am getting a top quality product. And no, I do not work for and am not related to anyone at Germania. I am just a very happy customer.
