dude i subscribed the beginning was funny af

I dove right into buying bullion, along with numismatics just buying what I like and into the hype. But today I traded all of my bullion for high end numismatic Morgan’s and some cash. Never been happier as a collector because bullion is too stressful worrying about what you’re paying. Especially with online dealers. My thing is collecting high grade type coins but I will never stop stacking 90% junk silver and pre 33 gold to keep my stack growing

You are doing a great job, thanks for the content Friend-O! Really like your opinions.

Liked, subscribed and saying hello. Good luck with your channel and you stack/collection. 👊

Enjoyed the video! In my opinion Silver is never going to be priced fairly until the Comex paper contracts end.

Man you for sure need to read more before making these videos

Do yourself a favor take 10 ounces your silver go sell those 10 ounces for same penny you paid you can’t do it

Hey Go read history we can look at Germans for what they done when it happened to them did Germans use silver or gold NO they kept same currency they already had in place the MARK the facts are it just took more Marks to buy items then before if you will read history it has happened few times it always the same currency as people are familiar with so think WHY would US go to silver and gold especially in this day in time I hate to inform you if you think in 2025 and beyond if something happens US citizens are going use silver and gold to pay car notes or buy food your just as crazy as Yankee

I lived in Reno Nevada In 1976, And I could go to the mid-day matine with just a $1.00 Dollar bill. And for 50" cents I could purchase my movie ticket. And with the other 50" cents, I could get my popcorn and a large drink. Try and do that today. They also don' sell penny candy. Or Apples for a Nickel anymore. Also not everyone owns pre 64, 90% SILVER coins any more. The only people that even have any of those coins are people 40" or older. Most people these days, are into E.T.F's, X.R.P, or BitCoin. The youth of today live in the computer world. If the 💩 S.H.T.F today, people 50" years old and older would survive nicely. We still have the Education of our Grand parents. And they really knew how to make it during hard times. You really can't compaire the 50"s buying power of the American Dollar, to today's Dollar buying power. Because we had only been of the GOLD Standerd for just two decades. And our Debt Dollar had just started. Keep Stacking GOLD & SILVER. put your Fiat Money into something that saves your wealth, and purchasing power. 👍👀🖖👻🤘😎🎸🎶🎵

For you to notice increases in the price of everyday items due to an increase in the price of Silver, you would need a lot more than a 3X increase. Most things that use Silver, use it in relatively miniscule amounts. Typically, you're talking about grams or fractions of a gram, unless you're talking about large items like cars, missiles, etc... Silver will necessarily go to $100 and far beyond, if price in U.S. dollars. How could it do otherwise? The dollar has lost 98% of its value in the last 100 years. The dollar has lost 45% of the purchasing power from the year 2000 to today, and the average price of Silver in the year 2000 was roughly $5 per ounce. Is Silver going to hit $100 tomorrow or even by 2026? I doubt it, but it is certainly possible. So long as we are measuring in a devaluing fiat currency, we must necessarily expect the price of Silver to rise in US dollar terms. $100 Silver in 2028 may very well be the equivalent of $31 Silver in 2025. It isn't the price the Silver or Gold that is the issue at all. Instead, the issue is who we train ourselves to see the price change. Do you choose to see the rise in price as a rise in the actual value and/or purchasing power of Silver? I wouldn't. Instead, you're better off to see the rise in the price of Silver and/or Gold as real money accounting for the decline in the US dollar's value or purchasing power. Why do I say this? If you see the price rise as a rise in the value or purchasing power of Silver, you might be excited because you hold it, and you might buy more. However, you might choose to not buy more because it's getting too pricey or maybe over priced. That's how people think when they see the rise in price as a rise in Silver's value or purchasing power. However, what happens when you see that rise in price as a drop or decline in the US dollar's value? The US dollar, that thing in which you get paid every week, two weeks, or month...what happens when you realize that the medium of exchange you hold your day-to-day wealth is is dropping or declining in value? If you knew that your US dollars were just dropping in value right before your eyes, what would you do? You'd seek to put that value into something that would preserve your wealth or purchasing power. It's unlikely that you'd choose to just sit in US dollars and wait out the decline that inevitably always leads to a ZERO valuation. Do you see the motivational shift based upon simple perspective? If you start thinking in terms of real money and NOT in US dollars, price becomes more of an irrelevancy than something to be looked at, followed, examined, and diagnosed. What matters is that you are constantly and consistently converting your earned wealth from devaluing fiat back into real money that over the long-term will preserve today's value for tomorrows needs. Imagine if you'd been able to preserve the actual value and purchasing power of money from 2000, which had 45% purchasing power. Imagine that. Guess what, if you bought Silver in 2000, that's precisely what you did...and even better. Football lost me in 2020 when they embraced the whole BLM thing. They'll never get my eyeballs back. Interesting video. Keep stacking!

I try to add to the stack a little at a time. Whatever I can afford, usually 2-4 pieces a month on average. I like the vintage generics.

I still don't agree with $100 silver making everything else more expensive. Vehicles are at all-time highs. Housing all-time highs. Gold all time high. Bitcoin over $100,000, and bread, eggs, and gas are not tied to the price, but somehow, if silver goes to $100 bread, eggs and gas go up. Silver is a very small market, and the biggest majority of people have no interest in silver. I still like silver, but I don't see any corelation between the price of silver and anything else. It's more of an industrial metal just like copper, lead, zinc, and nickel. The comex holds silver for the big banks and industry.

Thanks for the video. I just bought my first capped bust, the most beautiful XF I've ever seen (1826), and I'm loving the design. Looking foreword to learning more about the capped bust series.

i’m sorry for being boring. i will do better.

Very nice collection . I don't have anything older than a Morgan. No half dollars, I have 4 71s ike peg leg 40% proof brown box dollars. I do have quite a few graded newer Morgan and Peace dollars and a lot of silver eagles. It's fun collecting different silver coins, mainly American, for me, and I can tell you definitely enjoy it yourself.

15 to 18 minutes r the best

The video was pretty good 👍

Don't know if proof Ikes are very collectable or not.still learning

Like to hear from stackers very interesting.my coin shop right now is flooded with silver 40 percent ikes.

Love your humor about your family reunions. I'm a mostly stacker/ lil bit collector combo. Another great book is the United States Coins "redbook". I became your 150th sub. Good job.

Been they done that at least it wasn't a live stream

Just subscribed you did good on the video I still get jammed up doing videos as long as you have the knowledge you should be okay

Awesome video! You forgot about “the saver” (me) in 27 and I was horrible about saving money until a couple years ago I started buying a 1/4 oz gold coin or $5 gold coin every month and when I got a better job recently I started making much more money and on top of saving with gold I started being able to put equally as much $ into the S&P and recently bitcoin while still buying the gold every month and it’s so far the best decision I’ve ever made! I didn’t think saving the amount of $ I am able to save was possible! And yes getting into precious metals I do splurge on more numismatic items from time to time😂 most of the time it’s graded CC Moran dollars (I’m like half way through with the set! I have the easy dates like 78, 80-85 In ms64 but will settle on much poorer quality coins for years like 79 & 89) and I also like high grade type coins walking librty, standing liberty, Indian cents and those types of things) oh and also cool silver pieces like bullion in the shape of bullets, arrow heads, ext…

nice video keep it up !

[PART 2] Regarding your worst case scenario, I would only say this. Chaos doesn't reign forever because it cannot. Very quickly, some semblance if calm and normalcy is reached, usually in well under 6 months. In a lot of the U.S. it would probably be during the Spring to Fall time period when people were more readily out and about, but you can rest assured that law and order of some kind and at some level would emerge. It does this everywhere else, though things will be vastly more dangerous. What you would find, is that burned out big box stories and grocery store chains would have their parking lots turned into giant swap meets, where people would come to get the things that they needed to live. There would farmers, farm animals, produce, mechanics, plumbers, electrician, etc... People would be selling their services and their products. There would be canned foods. There would likely be doctors and nurses offering treatments, advice, and possibly even simple surgical procedures. There would be car alternators, batteries, inverters, solar panels, tools, firearms, bullets, first aid supplies, medicines, etc... It would be the only place you might be able to buy clothing, children's toys, or a variety of other things like fuel, tires, or replacement parts for any number of items that are necessary for survival. These places would be heavy on security, and prices for certain items would be high, to be sure. However, in order achieve the "double coincidence of wants", where two people have different items that the other person wants, and avoid the common "barter impasse" because one side of the transaction doesn't want what the other is offering or the value amounts are very unevenly distributed, a money system of some kind will develop relatively quickly. The more people who are stacking or even collecting, the better off the base of money will be to get a currency up and running in a local area. This would apply to a lot of things like pre-'82 Copper pennies, as well clad coinage like nickels and dollar coins. It would especially apply to things like Silver and Gold coins, as they would serve the function of large bills or bigger purchases. Money is what brings efficiency to trade and avoids the "barter impasse". So yes, it would be important to have chickens, but it would also be important to maintain a deep pantry, possibly to have a few months worth of freeze-dried foods on hand, and to possess things that would be readily tradable, including Gold & Silver coinage. You make a good point. You're actually more likely to die from disease than you are from the violence that occurs during and into the immediate chaotic period of a collapse. Dirty water, lack of medication, and the break down of emergency services will kill far more people than actual violence. With regard to compounding interest, I'd say yes and no. You can certainly make a case for it, but based upon our fake system that is persistently being goosed and propped up by money printing, I think relying on that is fairly high risk. I think if things don't totally collapse, they will try to force us into, NOT a crypto currency, but some form of CBDC. If things do collapse, I think you will see sound money crop up all over the United States and elsewhere in the world. I also think that you're likely to see Gold & Silver become prevalent if and when the government becomes openly and unjustly hostile to people who don't tow the government's line. We saw inklings of this with the previous regime in the White House. Stacking became popular as a result of the GFC and the election of people like Barack Obama. It really got into a higher gear in 2021 and beyond. If things got far worse in the future (i.e. Biden regime on steroids), I could easily imagine Gold & Silver becoming a very very important "out of system savings". If you had started buying Gold back in the 1990s, when it was only two or three hundred dollars for an ounce, you could easily possess $500,000 to $1,000,000 in Gold coinage, but few people have done that. Today, even using modest means, if you are consistent and persistent, it is very very possible to purchase several hundred thousand dollars worth of Gold. I have always had very limited means with which to stack. I started out with only $10 to $40 a month for the first decade that I was stacking, and yet I was able to stack hundreds of ounces of Silver and a respectable amount of fractional Gold. Today, I usually have $120 to $200 for Silver (depending on overtime) and about $80 being saved for Gold on a monthly basis. So long as I'm consistent, I can regularly buy both metals, and my concern for compounding interest becomes increasingly limited. That doesn't mean that I don't make use of compounding interest. It just means that I know where the risk lies and where it does not. Compounding interest = Risk. Gold & Silver = Non-liability money. Good video! Good discussion! Keep stacking!

Hello from Perth , just subbed 👍

[PART 1] There is something that needs to be kept in mind, when it comes to categories and talking about things like Silver & Gold. First, the word "Investment" needs to be qualified. Too often, in fact, almost every time people talk about these things using the term "investment", they are moving back and forth between one definition and another definition for the same word. This is called equivocation, and it just creates confusion and can lead to faulty or false conclusions. The first definition of investment is the use or deployment of purchasing power, wealth, or money for some sort of guaranteed profit or material return. For example, the purchase of a stock with the expectation that you might have made 10 or 15 percent and possibly higher return on that "investment" at the end of a year's time. The second definition for the word "investment" is a place to put or park wealth, purchasing power, or money, with the purpose being primarily the preservation of that wealth, purchasing power, or money over the long-term. Gold & Silver DO NOT FIT the first definition, but they DO FIT the second definition. Too many people who don't actually understand the monetary metals speak using both definitions without making any distinctions, and too few people understand the metals well enough to stick with the second definition over the first. Gold & Silver are money by nature. They are the highest exemplifications of the nature of money that exist, though Gold is a more perfect exemplification than Silver, and Silver is better than Copper, for example. This is why the Wealth Storage Density Capacities (WSDC) of each of the three major historic monetary metals are so different. Gold is meant for large purchases, Silver for medium-sized purchases, and Copper for the smallest purchases. Each of the monetary metals below Gold are change makers for the monetary metal above them. Real or natural money functions as monetary wealth insurance in unsound money environments like we live in today. They function as money in sound money environments. They do not provide any kind of guaranteed material return, and anyone buying them because they've been given the erroneous impression that they are going to skyrocket in value is essentially being tricked into thinking of Gold & Silver by way of the wrong category or definition. You can make them into investments, if you want to buy into an ETF, an art piece, or a high-end numismatic coin, but in general Gold & Silver are just money or, in bulk, a commodity that will feed some area of industry. You can be a stacker with an emphasis, and therefore, possess a different kind of stack and other stackers. For example, if you are stacking, but it's only for a job loss, an emergency fund, a retirement supplement, or perhaps even a retirement replacement (i.e. moving from a 401k, pension, or bank savings to sound money held outside of any banking system). This kind of person might have a lot of 100 ounce, 1 Kilo, 10 ounce, and 5 ounce bars to go along with this generic Silver arounds, ASEs, and 1 ounce generic Silver bars. They might also have a number of 1 ounce or larger Gold coins and/or bars. That person is expecting a limited kind of utility from his metals operating within what is essentially a full functioning system that will allow him to liquidate his holdings at almost a moments notice like he can today. On the other hand, you might have a stacker who is expecting a massively higher degree of utility from his metals, and he's making no major assumptions about the the kind of environment he may or may not be selling into. So for example, he has ZERO increments of either Silver or Gold that are above 1 ounce. He only possesses Gold in fractional 22k coin form. His Silver stack is 50% Constitutional or 90% old American coinage. The other 50% is divided into thirds. 1/3 is government minted 1 ounce bullion weighted toward his home country, so it's 85% ASEs and 15% Maples, Libertads, Britannias, Philharmonics, and Krugerrands. The second 1/3 is made up entirely of generic 1 ounce rounds, and the last 1/3 is made up of 1 ounce generic Silver bars. His Gold holdings are 90% American Gold Eagles in the 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 ounce varieties, with the most weight being hold in the smaller increments. Why this configuration? This configuration has the highest utility in any given future environment. Whether you're talking about a 100 ounce Silver bar, a 10 ounce Silver bar, or a 1 ounce Gold coin, you're going to have a larger universe of possible buyers as you move down in the increment/size. In any given environment, more people will able and willing to buy a 1 ounce Silver coin or a 1/10 ounce Gold coin than they will a 10 ounce Silver bar or a 1 ounce Gold coin. There is nothing that a 10 ounce or a 100 ounce Silver bar will do for you that 10 ounces of rounds or 100 Silver Eagles won't do for you. There is nothing that 10 small fractional 1/10 ounce or 4 small fractional 1/4 ounce Gold coins won't do for you that a 1 ounce Gold coin will. You might talk about premiums, but then you have to remember the definitions. You are preserving wealth or purchasing power for the long-term, which means that you will have been holding your metals for many years, hopefully decades, and whatever premiums you paid for 1 ounce Eagles or fractional Gold will shrink into utter obscurity as the US dollar declines massively in value and your metals rise in their US dollar denominated price but not so much in their purchasing power. This second kind of stacker is out for utility first and foremost. It may be that he is also stacking for a job loss, an emergency fun, and even a retirement supplement or replacement. However, it may also be that he's stacking for a much higher impact and significantly lower but growing probability of a systemic dollar and possible societal collapse due to outside forces that he doesn't control. The dollar's demise isn't really a possibility as much as it is an inevitability based upon the nature of the US dollar, the nature of economics, and the nature of reality. You simply cannot have a debt-based fiat financial system that requires continuous exponential growth in order to avoid recession, within the context of a finite resource environment. At some point, that kind of game or ponzi scheme necessarily comes to an end due to its logical and physical limitations. The probability of that inevitability is only relevant when it comes to deciding whether it's likely to happen while you're still alive or when your children or grandchildren are having to deal with it. These are stackers, though you seem to want to use the term investor, which as I have explained, is really more of a mistake than a moniker. You are correct, in that people can also find themselves as more collectors than stackers. If you're buying gimmicky items or what they often term collectible low-mintage semi-numismatic items and a variety of low-end to mid-tier numismatic coins of old, then yeah you've moved away from stacking and into something different. If most of what you are buying is genuine Silver and/or Gold, I suppose you could still call yourself a passive stacker, as you still would always have the melt value of your collection, should a worst case scenario come about. In a true crisis situation that impacts all people, things like numismatic and collectible value often evaporate, and collectors end up taking a bath on all of the things they purchased over the years. CONT'D

Long hold hedge against inflation as long as it’s bullion. I’m flipping low grade numismatics for more money to buy more rounds and constitutional bullion. Still working on my first rolls of mercs and walking liberties

Download a free editor on your phone and play around with it. I’m sure those kids could help you figure it out. Btw., I’m happy to be one of your first subscribers. Your channel will do well as long as you’re consistent with it. God bless!

No 85-CC? The story goes that it would've been rare like the 89-cc except 65% of the mintage was sold in the GSA auctions. Circulated 85-CC Morgans are even less common than circulated 93-S ones. If you wanna hop on, they've taken a dip since last year--call it an $800 coin in MS63/64. None of the holes in your set seem unusual at all.

This is the first channel I’ve seen breaking things down so it’s easier for us newbies to understand. Thank you for your time!

❤❤

Very informative

Wow! What a stack!!! Im years behind you bro.

Thanks for talking about buying what you can afford. I sold $160 of things this month so I've been shopping with my $160 budget and eyeing a specific 90-P PCGS MS-64. One topic I'd love to hear about is- pros and cons of buying graded or ungraded.

I would say (from my specific experience)...many, many "Professionals" are far, far from "Experts".

good luck bro

Cheers, Welcome to KZbin :D Subbed, looking forward to more contant

i want to be clear. the couple examples i gave does not apply to all stackers. i was just trying to give a few not to make the video to long. i appreciate everyone watching.

I’m very interested in the point I think you might be getting to, but if you would just talk at a normal pace, your video would be half the time that it is

is that 78 prooflike?

I hope you didn't think I was hating on you, but I have heard so many times that if silver goes to $100, a loaf of bread will be $10. I don't think so. The reason is that the dow is at all-time highs, gold at all-time highs, bitcoin all time high. What makes people think that if silver reaches $100 an ounce that somehow bread will be $10. Makes no sense to me.

Compounding interest has nothing to do with making regular deposits. Compounding interest is a interest payment added to the principle at a set interval. I'm pretty sure ?

Possibly if the Green Seal Dollar fails we could go to a Red Seal Dollar ?

Some people like me Stack Silver as a "Be Your Own Bank", like a savings account, you put money in it little at a time and then when you want to buy something you can't afford you sell some Silver to make up the difference. Again the world does not come to an end.

Just because I am a Silver Stacker, does NOT mean I am a Dooms Day Prepper. In my ten years of Stacking I have had to sell some silver to pay Bill's three times and the world has not came to an end.

Go cowboys

Subbed today, like your videos. You have a fan here in Eastern Canada.

Your knowledge and coins got people coming back

Well I am watching this whole video nice coins keep up the video's i am a little bit of both stacker and collector i will never sell a coin but have no problem selling bullion
