Coin Shop Owner’s Private Collection of Vintage Silver Bars & More!

A good interview. The gentleman was very open and cordial. 60 years in the family business has proven to be an asset to all in South Bend. Thank you for the post! A real good one! Happy 4th of July from Hollywood California!!

Nice video, store, shop owner, and interview! You're blessed to have so many decent coin shops relatively nearby that you can get to. I knew you'd come away with a Libertad when I saw some as you panned the counters! Nice pickups today... my kind of stuff with all those wonderful Franklins! Besides Morgans, they have always been one of my most favorite coins ever, always bringing back fond memories of a Leave It to Beaver style childhood for me. Having one of them in my pocket as a kid was a huge, big deal few can even begin to appreciate today.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Hey Buddy! I read a biography on Benjamin Franklin and find him to be one of the most fascinating characters in American history. Someone needs to make a modern movie or Netflix series on him. Enjoy your weekend! Hope you have a fun one!

Looks like an awesome shop, Mexican gold, vintage bars, and chop marks oh my! 😄🤓 🔥🦈🌊

Great video T Alan is my coin dealer he is my go too 100 percent of the time loves to talk about history and always makes me feel super welcome. He has some very interesting items in his shop. If you go through the door and turn to the right there is a turning case that has lots of toned coins and toned Libertads as well.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

You’ve got one of the best right there buddy. Tell him you saw this video next time you stop in. I could spend a lot of time in that shop!

I LOVE the Trade dollars and think they are underappreciated and have a ton of room on going up in value! I have a "chop marked" and opium case trade dollars...Alan nailed it saying about the "providence" of these,perfect word. Thank you T for your time, input the education and ALL that eye candy as you say! Always looking forward to your post!!! Stay safe stack on and Peace from the land of OZ!!!

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I’ve always been intrigued by those opium case trade dollars. The skill required to make those back in the day is incredible. Have a great weekend!!

[@skizzlemane1]

I used to spend every summer in Niles Michigan (which I think is in “Mishawaka?”) at my grandmas and grandpa’s he had the coolest coin collection I thought as a kid… cool vid. Thank you

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Niles is real close. Just over the state line. Mishawaka is in Indiana, not far away.

Man, I love the old stuff. The older, the better. I have the Engelhard one oz Silver prospector rounds, about 15 of them. With both the eagles and E logos. 1983 Silver Libertads, Hoffman and Hoffman Silver rounds, man I getting excited.

[@goldsilverjunkie]

Happy New Year my friend. Hello from north Chicago

[@silverbarstacker]

Engelhard was bought out by BASF in 2006 and they are mainly into producing chemicals now. Those Engelhards are very nice! I have a 100oz bar like that one, but not as clean! The 5oz is super cute! Those do not come cheap! As for those rare 10ozers... those are definitely some Tier 1 or Tier 2 ingots with the 1. prefix and there are probably no more than a couple dozen, hundred, or at most a couple thousand minted of that particular bar type. Unbelievably rare Engelhard products! I'm drooling! Silver is definitely still very undervalued, imho. I can totally relate with becoming overleveraged with too much inventory and being unable to keep up with market movements. Sometimes, you need to cut your losses or look at it as an opportunity to make a shift and reorganize your stack. I can’t believe you found half kilo JM bars. I’d be kicking myself if I sold those off for near spot.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

[@noicue8078]

OMG! Out of all the wonderful things in your videos, There’s only one that drives me nuts (well, more like jealous). And that is, I can’t believe how big those LCS’s are. I’m from New Jersey and the two LCS ‘s that I frequent, (One of which I drive across state line to Delaware), both customers area’s and maybe my car can fit into the shops that you visit. lol As for the Engelhard bars, I only have one which is a 5 ounce bar that was gifted to me by a friend maybe seven or eight years ago. On the box it said: Engelhard Australia. Great video. Thank you. Take care. 👍

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thank you my friend, I appreciate you watching! Yes this is probably the biggest shop I’ve ever been in the nicest too! I bet that Engelhard five ouncer is a beauty!

[@saltwatersaddletramp7229]

That’s a beautiful coin shop. I’m needing a Trade Dollar for my type set. I just haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet. Great deal on that proof Libertad.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks Saltwater. I don’t own a trade dollar, but I’d like to get one someday! Have a fun and safe 4th of July Weekend!

[@cmsilver552]

What a nice looking shop. It seems that very few owners are collectors as well. I have a few Engelhards and I also love old chopmarked silver.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Yes. He took me into his vault a while back. Those bars are just a very small sampling of his personal collection.

[@silversummit5628]

Great interview. I don’t get out that way too often, but definitely want to go see his shop sometime. It looks very well laid out and set up. My favorite coin shop in our area is JJ coins and stamps in Hammond, but it is by far the most unorganized looking mess of a store. But if you know what your looking for and call ahead they can usually find some things you might want. Nice pick ups and as you know I love my proof libertads. Thanks for sharing.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

J & J was a store I used to stop in back in the day. I actually asked about making a video, but the gentleman declined. Nunemaker’s is worth the stop if you find yourself anywhere near there. Happy 4th!

[@andrewkolb6309]

SIlver dipped below 20 per ounce just a few days ago and now is just hovering over 20 and some change time to buy IMO P.S I also like the seating are as well makes customers feel like they can stay awhile and not feel rushed most coins shops I've been to don't even have seats

It’s a mystery as to where it’s gonna go from here, but I too see it as a buying opportunity. Thanks for watching!!

[@TheLionOfTheNorth-1621]

Yes i collect Engelhard and they are not easy to find i Europe

[@TtheSilverStacker]

They are pretty scarce around here too. I rarely see them at shops.

[@arte9855]

What's up T. I commented before about maybe going more into detail on those 10 ounce Engelhard bars. Looks like you didn't like me questioning the bars. I did a quick look on AllEngelhard and didn't see them at first. I also was courious as well and looked again. This time I did find the series. Looks like maybe a 3rd series with the 1.xxxxxxx serial number sequence. Guess I didn't look deep enough? My Bad, now the really BiG issue I have is my first question got DELETED??? What's up with that? I tune in to get information and gain knowledge. Overall you have some good videos, BUT I also gain more knowledge reading people's comments. Can you explain to me why my last comment and question was DELETED? I'll check back for an explanation from you T.

[@arte9855]

Would also like to see these 1.xxxxxxx bars authenticated if that's something Engelhard could do. With around 200 produced it would help in the sale of the bar. Looking forward to the next video.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Hi rte. Maybe I thought you were being a smart ass. That’s usually the only time I delete comments. Refresh my memory. What was it about again?

[@arte9855]

@@TtheSilverStacker I might have come off that way? At first glance on those 10 ounce Engelehard bars, seeing the 1. in the serial number looked way off...threw up a Red Flag. Me not knowing about them, I hopped over to the AllEngelhard side for a quick search. I didn't find anything, I made a comment about looking into them more and maybe you could elaborate on them more. I then went back to the AllEngelhard site and looked further finding a series of bars with the 1. Prefix? Came back to your channel to edit my comment with some new improved info and PROOF gone. To reiterate, with all the fake or altered bars in circulation and looking to educate your viewers. I thought it might be a good idea to contact AllEngelhard get their opinions or for verification and OR authentication on those bars. What are your thoughts? With the toned serial number with the lack of tone on the 1.?? Place of the 1. and so forth... There is a large price gap from a standard Engelhard bar and one with the 1. Prefix.

[@chrissahar2014]

Very nice store and inviting. As for the 2022 ASE, I am thinking of buying one now only because if coin shop owners are reluctant to buy them (and I know my local one has also held off buying them) the mintages might be especially low for the series giving them a little more numismatic value than other ASEs. I must say the golden age to start a coin shop seems to be about 1940 to about 1972,

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Hi Chris- I only own one or two of the 2022 ASE's. For the same money, I'd rather have Libertads as the mintages are always just a fraction of the ASE and they are beautiful coins. Thanks for watching!!

Hey T, any idea of price ranges on Type 3 Libertads (1996-1999) ? Thank you!

I rarely come across those. I’ve found them to be the most scarce. eBay is the only place to find them consistently, but they are super expensive!

[@partynxs5351]

My question is if everything is rising in price due to the cost of diesel, WHY DOES SILVER CONTINUE TO GO DOWN, despite the increased cost to mine the material since they use diesel engines to dig up the metal? 🤔

Everyone is baffled by that one. Doesn’t Makes sense.

It is overpriced and is very abundant; and the US government wants to keep/bolster the fiat dollar up.
