Buying Gold and Silver For Beginners [How To]

[@CampbellsCoins]

Feel free to leave any questions you might have. If you have buying advice for beginners, let us know down below! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonwright703]

Is 2.5 gram gold bars an ok buy?

[@pluto4847]

What are your thoughts on investing platinum?

[@CampbellsCoins]

@@pluto4847 I like platinum. Currently 50% from it's all time high. However, it's an industrial metal. This means it's tied to industry. If the economy crashes, not many things are being made, thus using less platinum. If platinum is used for some new tech, ie, giant air scrubbers, I could see price skyrocketing.

Is a 2.5 gram gold bar ok to buy? (This is a question)

[@CampbellsCoins]

@@jasonwright703 Ehhh, sort of. Very liquid pieces but it depends on the brand.

[@KAP0112]

I was kinda skeptical about stepping into the metal exchange “trade” being 24 years old but after watching this video (even if it’s a year old) I can confidently say I will start my “stacking” as of today. Thanks for details

[@GettingGood]

Im 29 and just started stacking, did you go get any thing ?? Wish I started sooner ! Gold prices when I was 24 where much lower than today of course!

[@elongatedmusket2584]

Same 29 just started stacking last week I bought 6 gold backs as they can be used as currency in Nevada , and this week I bought 9 gold backs and an ounce of silver. The goldback can be exchanged for Fiat currency anytime through goldback or Alpine so they are a sound investment. After reaching 100 ounces of silvery goal is to get one ounce of gold in 1/20th maples

[@margaretadamson6239]

The Britannia is a beautiful coin.

[@toddkaufman5990]

Just started about 15 months ago and I am hooked on selling my fiat for silver. I was up to 700 plus ozt but I just lost it all in a boating accident. Keep stacking

[@chadwick703]

I'm a new stacker, and so far, you have been the most informative person on the this topic. I really appreciate your video content so far. I haven't bought anything yet, but I'm looking into your videos to learn as much as a can before I do. Thank you again!

[@CampbellsCoins]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching and congrats on starting your stacking journey!

[@tkhardwood9542]

Yes I am a new stacker!!! Received my first purchase in the mail today. A 1oz gold PAMP. It sure is beautiful. Your videos are very helpful for a newbie. I watch several of your videos every day. I feel I can avoid a lot of mistakes by taking your advice. Thanks.

I'm new to precious metal and don't understand how it really works. Can anyone guide me on the right approach to invest and earn a good profit from gold and silver?

[@reginathomas2808]

All you need as a beginner to make good profit from gold is a professional trader who will trade on your behalf, otherwise you risk incurring losses.

[@willintongbagge]

That's right, you need an expert trader to make a good profit from trading.

[@sainmezyan]

Get an expert trader who will guide you on how to receive profit. This is the best way to make a good profit from investing in gold

[@chrismartinez8860]

How can anyone know a trustworthy professional trader when it is hard to find legit traders these days

Is not the same Mr. Brad Moore that my neighbors are talking about he must be a perfect expert to get people talking as well from him...

[@Jodyrides]

A lifelong friend of mine since the 60s started buying silver coins in the 1990s. He bought a few corns every two weeks. He was buying them from a company that was advertising them on television for $29.99 plus shipping per coin.. so that’s $35 a coin.. their television commercials kept this hype going by saying that silver is going to go to $50 an ounce any minute now.. these coins were 1 ounce coins.. years later my friend got into financial trouble and had to sell many of his possessions. His motorcycle, his guitars, tools, etc.. and his coins.. he called the company that sold him most of the coins he had and asked them if they would buy them back. They recommended taking them to one of those outlets that buys grandma‘s old jewelry and coins and things like that.. so that’s what he did and that’s when he found out that those places do not give you anything near what you pay for the silver or gold. They pay you spot price at that moment for silver or gold. Spot price at that time was around $12 an ounce for silver. But he paid $35 an ounce for each coin.. he was in a tough spot so he accepted the $12 an ounce, that’s when he found out that they deduct 10% plus $.85 a coin transaction fee.. So that was $12 minus $1.20 per coin minus -$.85 per coin.. that comes out to $9.95 per coin after paying $35 per coin.. so let’s say there was a monetary collapse around the world which they like to tell you buying gold and silver is a safeguard against that happening.. OK so someday, dollars have no value but-you have gold coins that you paid $1800. each for.. Just how do you fill the tank of your car or buy a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk with a gold coin if your money is no good at the gas station or supermarket. What are they gonna give you change with? Monopoly money?

[@user-oj3ip3qi9y]

Precious metals will only be traded fairly when there is no other means of government accepted currency. Gold or silver purchased today will only become valuable in about 20+ years. I purchased a 1oz Kugerand back in ‘86 for roughly $450. It’s almost 5x its value. Buy metal for a hobby or fund. Treat them like expensive trading sports cards.

[@patrioticstacker]

I’m with you that’s the only fractional ill buy 90%! I stack 10oz and kilo silver bars now and government bullion Silver coins but holding off on eagles due to premium’s. Gold I stack Buffalos and eagles and other government gold coins I prefer to buy 1ozers but the lowest I’ll go is a 1/10oz but it’s good to have fractional too! Yes people need to watch on for that FOMO and just take it easy! Very good point CC 😎👍🏻 another great video my friend and absolutely hone is the best place but make sure you have a tl15-tl30 safe , security system, cameras .. it’s all about buying time!

[@crashburn821]

You are so right! I acquired quite abit of silver coins and started looking and all of a sudden got the bug! I also own gold, in different styles! Wishing to get more, cause I really feel it's gonna skyrocket. Invested early on gold under 1400 a oz at the time. But your so right on the knowledge your passing! Thanks!

[@lextek1]

I have been going to Royal Coins in Houston for years, love them! It was wild to randomly hear about them while listening to this!

[@B29p]

Great advice for the newbs. To put things into perspective as far as those TL safes go. Knowing exactly the model of safe and obviously its location, it takes me about 2 hours to get into one. So I'd say it's definitely worth the investment.

[@CampbellsCoins]

Thanks B2. Yeah those safes are beasts. Doesn't hurt to hide the safe either haha.

I’m a new stacker. It’s been rough watching metal fall but it’s a long term game. I’ve done my homework via videos like yours. My biggest lesson I’ve learned is not everyone is honest. I caught fake 5oz silver bars and had a confrontation with the individual. If your new like me learn everything you can and know what your goal is. For instance I don’t like constitutional silver. I don’t like premiums. My goal right now is generic rounds and 10oz bars.

[@CampbellsCoins]

Congrats on starting your stacking journey! That is an important lesson learned. There are many who will f people over for a few bucks. Sad but true.

[@madam.c.j.walker1700]

Hello, Hope you’re having an amazing day! Can you please explain how “Premiums” work with silver and gold? I’m new and trying to comprehend, the use of premiums and how to choose good or bad ones. Hope to hear from you!

[@swinn848]

@@madam.c.j.walker1700 spot price doesn’t include all the middle people from the mine to the consumer. Everyone needs to make a buck on a piece of silvers journey to make it worth dealing. You’ll rarely get all your premium back unless you can hold long enough for spot to come up. Precious metals is a long term game. Don’t expect to flip quick and turn a profit. Your money will be much more secure though. Savings accounts give you very little. There are many great channels to educate yourself. Don’t FOMO (fear of missing out) make a budget and always have a back up fund so you don’t have to emergency sell your metal for a heater or something

Well put together vid, if anything I would suggest new stackers to stack at least 1oz of gold to every 300 - 500oz of silver - I store my metals externally and pay for ‘volume’ of space and well it can start to get expensive if space is taken up with to much silver, good problem to have but you will face this challenge in time 👍😀

I started accidentally. I bid on a sealed box at an estate sale. Got it for $10. It had a couple of fairly valuable rookwood pieces of pottery, some other junk. But, at the very bottom was a 1988 us mint $25 gold piece in a presentation box. Been picking up stuff here and there when I find it. Have some 10 Oz bars, some 5 Oz rounds and a bunch of 1oz rounds. I’m hooked lol

Suggestion: maybe do a video on verifying your coins are real on a budget ie Pocket Pinger, Earth Magnet, Scale and maybe some Calipers. Also maybe include a sheet of visual oddities that may cause you to suspect something isn’t right about a coin.

Great advice. I recommend buying US gold Buffalo bullion coins. They will be easy to sell when need to and if selling outside of the country you won’t be taxed in most countries since pure 24k gold. If selling American Gold Eagles out of the country, you will be taxed in many countries since not pure gold. International sale of silver is heavily taxed in Europe.

In your opinion, what percentage of one's net worth should be in precious metals and Bullion?

[@CampbellsCoins]

The "experts" say 10% because they don't want to be sued if it's more and doesn't work out. I do whatever I'm comfortable with and it's much higher than 10%. I think this number should fluctuate. When all signs point to an economic crash, I would go heavy into bullion. When other sectors cool down, I would transfer some of those funds into the now unloved sector. And on and on it goes like a cycle. Don't remain static.

[@WookieLove1]

@@CampbellsCoins I'm really enjoying your channel. Good question and good answer. For just starting and wanting to build oz.s of silver do you think bars over silver eagles?

[@CampbellsCoins]

@@WookieLove1 Much appreciated! With premiums the way they are, definitely bars over eagles. If you're looking for coins, I would select either Maples or Britannias at this point, simply because of premiums over eagles. I would not buy eagles until premiums come down to where the Britannias are at currently. Bars will have lower premiums over all coins.

[@WookieLove1]

@@CampbellsCoins Thanks! Much appreciated. My local guy was charging 14 dollar premium for an englehard bar. I thought that was crazy. All other bars were 6. I just saw one online shop that had premiums for 3 for bars.

[@CampbellsCoins]

@@WookieLove1 yeah that's too much. Some bars command a high premium because of who mints them and how many were made, but it typically applies to older collectible bars. Personally, I think it's dumb but if people like collecting them, more power to them. Last I saw, bars were going for around $3 for your basic silver bars, as you mentioned.
