Top 5 Mistakes Stackers Make (MUST WATCH!)

I stack silver and gold to hedge against our debt-fueled, fiat currency-based economy that I am convinced is in deep trouble. Consider stacking silver and gold yourself to help you build and preserve wealth. And thank you for watching Campbell’s Coins!

[@Ziegfried82]

Here's my advice as somebody who has been doing this for many years when it comes to storage of your metals: invest in security! Buy a top quality safe! If you are able to afford it invest in a security system as well. Most smaller safes cost around $500 to $1000, ideally you want one that you can bolt into the floor but not everyone lives in a place where they can do that. If you can't bolt it into the floor hide it as well as you can and fill it with heavy metals (lead, iron, whatever) so it will be harder for the thief/thieves to move. This goes for a lot of things in life not just storing metals...make it as difficult for the criminals as possible.

[@mauriceorayii2964]

For those who are on a tight budget, 90% Constitutional silver is a good option. I was one of those people who bought to fast, and had to sell. I'm on a budget now, but when I had to sell, I found out that the most demand was for gold and rolls of Constitutional silver in my LCS. Silver eagles sell, but it's better if they're graded. And silver bars can be a challenge.

[@CampbellsCoins]

We all make the mistakes at some point. It's good you learned early on and changed it. I'm not sure about graded eagles. When I ask people to trade, EVERY ONE of them tried to pawn off their graded eagles to me. I wanted only raw Morgans and or Eagles and they wouldn't budge. I think graded bullion is a scam but that's my opinion.

I have to say I hope you get lot of views on this specific video because there is a lot of great information on it. Keep them coming brother.

[@CampbellsCoins]

I think we are all guilty of stack envy at some point, some stay in it and others move beyond and build their own vision. I suspect many get out of that envy mindset but I wish it was more prevalent. All people have to realize, is holding one ounce of silver is more precious metal than 99% of the world holds. Perspective is everything. Anyone who stacks precious metals is a winner in my eyes. Thank you my friend, I hope so too. I appreciate you 🙏👊

relative to gold fractionals, i've found "10g" PAMP and canadian bars as the best margin deals that are easy to get rid of on the backside

[@5ivestring]

Happens easy enough. The first few years I had no problem as I was buying very low quantities no sure of what to do. But as I came up with a plan, I suddenly found I was buying more and more and soon found I was pushing my buying limit. Even exceeded it a couple months. But I didn't panic, I just backed off, got back in control and am in good shape now. Now I have a monthly budget for building weight with silver and still saving enough to find a nice piece of gold now and then. My reality, I'm still a little guy but happy.

[@interpolagent9]

I've been stacking silver for under a year, and I made some mistakes. Now, I stick to a budget of 20 oz per month. My fractional is 80% Canadian coins, and I can still find them cheaper than one ounce rounds, when converted to dollars per ounce. I've avoided gold because currently, fractional is too expensive in Canada, to the tune of $400 more for 1/10 ounce when compared to one ounce of gold. Silver is my sweet spot because I can stack more ounces affordibly.

Hi there. Great advice! I just wanna put in my two cents and say I mainly buy from APMEX for a few reasons; They are the fastest to ship my orders, I've had nothing but superb experiences from their customer service and lastly & most importantly, they always have what I want in stock, whereas the cheaper online dealers seem to run out of stock almost every time I'm ready to buy. That's why I mainly buy from APMEX, despite the fact they are more expensive than other online bullion dealers. I also wanna say that I would have access to a coin shop to sell some of my stack in the event of an emergency, but not on a regular basis and that's why I buy online. I take all this into account when look for my next gold or silver purchase. Thanks for the advice in this video. Good job! 👍

[@paulleonardo4042]

IMO, its not a mistake to buy fractional silver and gold. It may be a bit more expensive but it gives you a chance to easily purchase it a little at a time and if im correct, its easier to sell if needed. The trick is to shop around, shop all the different Bullion dealers and shop ebay but make sure the seller is reputable.

[@claytonhofer1622]

Fractional, is good for a emergency. if you need to buy food or something you don't end up using a a larger amount. I can buy gold silver in all sizes at a very good mint near my place and there is no fees like this video says. but i have scene these fees at online stores and stuff. So it goes back to find a great supplier

[@paulleonardo4042]

@claytonhofer1622 I agree, I've purchased fractional from bullion dealers, and there were no fees at all....

[@FlyByNick]

Really the only fractional silver I buy are Libertads with which I make my own yearly 5 piece sets. Palladium & platinum I usually buy in 2.5 gram increments. Gold usually all shapes & sizes up to 1/2 oz.

[@CampbellsCoins]

Libertads are in a category all on there own. Simply phenomenal pieces. I didn't cover Plat or Pall because most stick to G&S but I would agree with your strategy as long as your premiums aren't super high. 👏👏👏

[@CampbellsCoins]

Hi Betty! I don't think a gold confiscation will happen in the true sense; troops literally ripping gold from people's hands. Mostly because too of few people own gold and it's difficult to track down. What I think is more likely, is an insanely high tax on buying and selling it. Which can be implemented as a prohibition and confiscation in it's own sense. I see what's going on in Australia and it's crazy. Be well and safe. Thanks for watching.

Good video, I just have a rant on a point you made: Whatever you think the "true price" of PMs are, you'll always be paid the paper/spot price, which is why PRICE ALWAYS MATTERS. Especially for an asset whose value is solely determined by the ability to sell at a higher price than you bought. Price matters when you buy, price matters when you sell, price matters PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't see this has been blinded by shady dealers who use this "oh it's manipulated" as a tactic to keep gullible people buying their stuff at prices that are sure to bring financial ruin. Manipulation is just another shady tactic to get people to think it's worth way more than what it is actually worth... so what? That is the market so deal with it, don't sit there and complain, actively manage your assets at the realistic prices that they are likely to remain at.

[@robertlaw4073]

Interesting video. I wonder what it is that you think gives gold a fundamental value? The other day I was at a goodwill store and a guy was buying a cart full of old desktop computers. I asked him what he does with them, and he said he gets the gold out of them and makes his own bars. My guess is that (1) he is investing a lot of money, not in the junk computers, but in the chemicals and/or heat and equipment he needs to use to re-process the gold. Let just imagine that all he has to do is torch the boards patiently, then carefully pour out his gold into a mold, and finally clean up his stuff from impurities (carbon, etc.) before the next run. That takes time. From one perspective, "fundamental value" of that gold is his time. Now the financial value is what he gets if he were to sell those bars on a market - if he takes a few trips to the NYC jewelry districts a couple times a year, maybe he even has people who will assay his bars and then, on the PERSONAL reputation of the assayer, they become marketable to, say, a NYC jewler who is making custom designer pieces they want graded at a certain carat purity. OK, so having established that product pipeline, which is "fundamental value"... his time it takes for him to make an ounce or the number of dollars he gets selling an ounce at "metal value" in the jewelry trade (something not so easy to negotiate for an unknown goy). The fact is I think you mean something entirely different from either of those, and that I believe is the idea that gold is a value store... that it will go up in demand as faith in fiat currency declines. A reasonable prognostication, but only to a point. You cannot eat a gold coin. You cannot throw gold coins into a mob of people out to take away your food stores - sure they will take the gold, then just go on to take away your food. At the end of the day, that is my one possible critique of your point about fractional gold/silver. Yes, there is something scammy feeling about a commodity being market up so much. But in the zombie-apocalypses, if it takes roughly $100 worth of "value" to feed a family for a week, aren't you better off having 1/25 oz. gold coins on hand and ready to go than, say a 1 kilo bar?! Conversely, though, if you might need to flee a place quickly, is it not easier to account for and transport a single bar than 25000 coins! But for some people, that is why gold becomes important - if you've got the dual citizenship to say Israel, well, a 1oz gold coin going through a metal detector doesn't necessarily get noticed. Or maybe you ship "fresh fish" out of the country and inside that fish's gut are 10x 1oz bars. So it cuts both ways, and depends on goals, not in terms of holding a certain percentage of portfolio exposure, but in terms of "will you stay and barter for bullets with your gold" or do you have something else in mind. What is your prognosis for these bankrupt nations whose workers are now lying flat? Is it anarchy ensuing from the evaporation of purchasing power of entitlement payments? Will the gray-beard-boomers simply elect a complete kook when their social security checks are no longer are worth a cup of coffee at MacDonalds?

[@CampbellsCoins]

Gold gives itself fundamental value with it's rarity and properties.

[@3jaskat]

Would you say that rule 3 applies to platinum as well or would it be similar to gold and be better off buying a 5 gram bar than say 1/10 oz Britannia

Great question because it's a tough one. If you can afford 1oz Platinum, go for the 1oz. I think it's incredibly undervalued right now and like silver it's one of those buy it and hold it for long term situations. If you were worried about the price dropping a lot or were going to sell it off as soon as it reaches a certain price target in your eyes, fractional platinum might be best. A warning though, as you might have seen, the premium on platinum is incredibly high for fractional pieces.

Where do we buy? Where is the best place, a local shop?

Link to the constitutional silver video?

Need to use a cheaper gold supplier . VBCE

[@JulioGlo]

Thanks. I just committed a mistake. It's okay won't be repeated

[@justintodd5145]

It is so hard reselling fractional silver. And you're most likely going to take a hit. Lesson learned.

You can see what trying to forecast the future.... lol 2 years after this comment now.

[@antekswiech9209]

Hey im 15 and made myself up to 1600usd from buying and selling pc parts locally was wondering whether you would recommend buying a 5gram gold bar to start with or a 1gram one.

[@CampbellsCoins]

The bigger the better. Smaller premium too. That being said, buy whatever you feel comfortable with buying.

[@marktan8423]

Could anyone give me the source of the spot price of gold being at the delivery of 5000 ounces of gold at a single time please? Much thanks!

[@IP0Monsturd]

Check Fantasyland

[@hunterhamilton7111]

I haven't had to sell in years because I've been buying a kilo of silver each month from option trades and useless crypto. I can sleep at night knowing I am not using my own money going to premiums and at the same time being able to stack some serious silver.

[@CampbellsCoins]

That's awesome! Keep it up!

[@robchesley4591]

Noob here, I hear many people who have an issue with buying online due to its tracable nature. thoughts and advice?

[@CampbellsCoins]

The only untraceable manner is paying in person with cash. But anything over $10k is reported and many shops have security cameras which footage isn't always kept in house. Only untraceable way is in person, with cash with no eyes on.

[@makdaddy8399]

I'll put mine in a bank safe deposit box right after they give me access to the safe.

[@matthewkohen2288]

What are some of the websites you like to buy in 2022.?

[@olegpetelevitch4443]

I buy direct from ABC mint ! Cash !

[@kaynefryday1251]

The biggest mistake, is not stacking enough. Speaking for myself that is.

[@CampbellsCoins]

😂😂😂 touche.

[@billyhurst4319]

I agree , now only if my wife would see the light 🤔🤣

[@willweed6168]

Those fractionals will kill you. The only fractional that I buy are libertads. Those fractionals are for peppers. Also Apmex isn't a good example lol. If you don't get them when it drops then you're getting robbed.

[@CampbellsCoins]

I only mention Apmex because it's known by all. Not a great example for pricing as their's are the highest but many first time stackers have purchased from them and it gives people an idea of things.

[@michaelturner7641]

There's a leprechaun down the road that has a huge stack and I am and I am jealous.

[@CampbellsCoins]

I don't blame you.

[@michaelhayes7471]

Silver getting to high to buy now it will have to get forty to make any money on I got alot at fifteen not any now

[@CampbellsCoins]

I think silver is just getting started. Like you, I got a majority of the stack at $15. Thanks for watching! 😎👊

[@thomasblea1676]

Don't forget the tax implications (IF)...you purchase over 10 grand or more in a 24 hour period of time. Despite higher premiums, the US Govnt. Mint has no tax liabilities. When selling the US Govnt. Mint coins, the same is true. Buy or sell Canadian Maples...do not buy or sell 10k or more in a 24 hour period due to tax liability (capital gains tax). That is if the IRS still exists when silver hits a spot price of $300.00 to $1000.00 per Oz.. If anyone out there has more detailed tax liability data on the purchase and reselling of precious metals, please post it for us as I'm going on memory. Thanks.

[@fat-bald-guy]

My goal in silver is , full tubes of 90% for trading stock in emergency. Then stack rounds/ bars when budget allows. I want my son to crap his pants when I go and he opens the safe .

[@CampbellsCoins]

Haha, there's a visual.

[@cakensteak]

Bizarre

[@flyingsaucer1268]

I've made all of your 5 mistakes (hehe).....but no more mistakes for me......my next purchase will be a 100 oz silver bar, and I will dig it down in my garden, under my potato-plants

[@realvoicevideos3402]

I never understood why people buy fractional silver.. unless your getting it for your 5 year old

[@teaadvice4996]

Update: 2 years later stock market is still going up.

[@CampbellsCoins]

Don't forget the 30% crash it experienced just six months ago...

[@jplifts3008]

If you want fractional silver just buy 90%. Buying fractional rounds is honestly just stupid. You are spending way too much on silver. Fractional gold though is great!

[@CampbellsCoins]

EXACTLY!

[@Bill-xx2yh]

And don’t forget TAX.. If you do…it may kill the whole enterprise.

[@onloveandsublimation4912]

You can keep your stack at my house. Rent free.

Sounds too good to be true 😂 but I'm a gambling man. Whats your address?
