How Much Silver Should You Own?

[@BigMKatmn1]

the best part about buying silver or gold is that you scratch the itch to buy something with some of your savings, and yet you are still saving.

You are exactly right, stacking for me scratches multiple itches lol. Thanks so much for watching!

[@JUST_A_GUY835]

It's retail therapy I don't feel guilty about. 😀... Stacking silver got me out of debt because now instead of buying 2 oz at a time I buy 10 or more.

[@dive2drive314]

I like that, but it somehow doesn't feel right. I don't want to get too attached to it, which i have been lately, spending a lot on high premiums trying to collect all the different series out there like from RCM and the EC8. I know nothing about investing and have nothing else on my portfolio.. i almost feel like i am too ignorant about finances to be in the silver stacking game. Oh well, it is fun, and its the only way ive been able to 'save' money.

[@kaynef6637]

It is better to buy stocks, you scratch to itch to buy and are investing not just saving

I only buy when I save enough to take advantage of the 199.00 or more free shipping. It saves quite a bit in the long run if you aren’t having to pay shipping fees.

My broker has a 200oz minimum for silver and a 7oz minimum for gold (or additional charges apply), so I simply accumulate savings in credit union and buy in bulk. Also, this broker doesn't charge state sales tax (9.5% in my state) like most online dealers do.

True, you should never put ALL your eggs in one basket. Though the 200 ounce thing, can't say I agree. I think most anyone who works a decent job or is self employed, can afford 2 ounces a week of silver. That's about 100 ounces a year. 2 ounces is less than the cost of a tank of gas, eating out at a nice restaurant, etc. This cost is basically what many people spend every week on Starbucks. Yes, it's important to have balance in your investments, but I don't have much faith in the fiat currency. We are far from seeing the end of inflation, market crashes, and a looming financial crisis. Something you can hold in your hand that has UNIVERSAL value, is worth infinitely more than any stock or crypto. So IMO, the more of it the better. The goal SHOULD be to invest and save every cent you can.

This is an area for keeping up with the destruction rate of the currency. 20 years ago, I was buying 1oz rounds for under 5 bucks.

Exactly, stacking is the ultimate insurance policy, and like all insurance it should be a policy you never want to cash in on! Everyone needs some basic insurance to help your loved ones in a worst case scenario, then use hard assets like precious metals to lock in thier long term comfort, remember insurance companies are in business to make money! The value of precious metals will always rise with time, and the proof to me is, we don't carry them in our pockets any more even though we could!

Since my primary concern is the potential need for a temporary replacement for paper or electronic payment, I'm focusing on silver eagles. They are the most recognized silver coin in the US and therefore most likely to be accepted as a form of payment. With an accurate scale and calipers, a person can be reasonably assured of the fact that it is pure and genuine silver. Right now I'm still stacking 1 oz eagles but I'll probably move on to 1/2 oz eagles as well so i have a smaller denomination for trade. If someone wants to buy/barter with me and they try giving me junk silver or some unknown silver rounds, it's going to be harder to know for sure that I'm not being scammed. If they offer a silver eagle, I can check it against the known attributes of diameter and weight for a little assurance.

[@NapoleonicStacking]

Thanks for watching!

[@edb3877]

I think that ASEs only come in 1-oz. weights, so if you want 1/2 oz. or 1/4 oz. weights you will have to buy silver rounds for that. US 90% silver coins are also a US Mint product and should be just as easy to use as ASEs and come in dimes, quarters, halves, and whole dollars. If we get to the point where we are using silver coins as money again, people will get educated pretty fast on which coins are real silver and how much silver they contain. Those of us living in northern tier states also recognize the Canadian silver Maple coins, so collecting them can be good too. They usually cost about 50c less each than ASEs.

[@Userhfdryjjgddf]

I hate eagles. Been stacking for over 7 years and have never once paid a crazy premium for a silver coin. My goal from day #1 is how much weight can I get. Bars and billion rounds but I also love that constitutional and have quite the pile. The way I looked at it is I will never get that premium back for an eagle so I'd rather have a melts the same billion round. As the videos from some people a couple months ago showed most shops offer only $2 in that area over spot to buy back an eagle. What a rip-off those have been. Shoot I even started picking up 2021 maple leafs and of last summer cause they were only $1 more than a billion round at my shop. Better security and that maple leaf side is pretty cool. That's the most over spot I've paid for any gold or silver in last 7 years. I want weight

US 90% silver coins from 1964 and older are also a large part of my stack. This is rounded out by some bars and commemorative rounds (gifts). It does make quite a pile. For the past couple of years, I have been buying gold AGEs and Maples but not much silver, unless something really appealing comes along. I bought 85 Morgan dollars from a good friend and all are beautiful coins. Not only that but the price was below what many online PM vendors were charging for coins in much worse condition. But don't feel too badly for me in this because I loaded up on silver when it was in the $15 an oz. area. 😉

Three years ago silver was in the teens,.....so there has been movement. But I totally understand your frustration. Silver supply is reaching new lows, world is in crisis, inflation out of control, but silver prices falling.

Couple of thoughts. Silver and gold are money- they aren't an investment and they aren't insurance. They are money and have been for thousands of years.

Why on earth would someone with a brain apply conventional wisdom to unconventional times?? Someone not so long ago interviewed Jim Rogers about investing.
