Concur. In my family, we don't keep our money in either banks or bonds. If silver/gold at least keep up with inflation, then why would you ever take a negative yielding bond or anything paying less than 3% per year (that's the stupid gov calculation of cpi). You do have to hold long in some date ranges for it to work, but only keep the short term working capital around in cash, say 1 years expenses or 10-20k around for emergencies. The rest gets stored in real money.

I wanted to share my junk silver story...... I saw an ad on Craigslist where a small time retail dealer was selling some junk silver for spot price (he probably was short on cash). He had a bunch of silver quarters that I was interested in and he said I could look through the pile and pick out any ones I wanted.So I was picking out a lot of shiny ones that were mostly 1963 or 1964 dated because I knew they had more silver content than the older, more worn quarters. One of the shiny ones I picked out was a 1930 something date but I didn't look at it too closely because I didn't want to draw too much attention to it. When I got home I saw that it was an uncirculated 1937s which I promptly put on Ebay and it sold for over $50. !! You should have seen that poor dealer's face when I told him about my lucky find and how much I sold it for on Ebay !

[@martinbeaubien440]

I’d like to hear others opinions on a question I have. Say there is an economic collapse, do you really think you can walk into your local grocery store & trade a few mercury dimes for food? I have silver & I’ve never been able to grasp the concept of bartering with precious metals for tangible goods in the event of a collapse. How will that work? Will some govt official have to make a declaration or will the public have to agree that pm’s can be used? Also, if the economy does take a dump & silver prices go up enough to sell, what are you going to sell your silver for, a failing currency? Just some thoughts.

[@Spegtacular]

So Martin, I'm not sure if you wanted me to answer this or not. Silver and gold are money and have been for thousands of years. They're precious to people. Now, an economic collapse doesn't effect only the USA which may cause you to think "why would it matter" but it's a global problem because many countries are seriously tied to one another. If the dollar fails then it will be like a domino effect. What will be valuable if that happens? Likely, the same thing that has always been valuable. Hopefully others can chime in.

[@mgtowlife54]

In Venezuela an ounce of silver is worth 4 million dollars. People sell there silver to a shop. The shop credits their account. Then they go and buy groceries. No wheel barrow needed. 4 million sounds like alot of money but it will buy about $18 worth of food.

[@justinsnider9772]

Honestly if there is a major "collapse" like a lot of people think then gold and silver will be the least of your worries. Food and water and weapons will be what people would barter with in an all out collapse. Now I don't believe we will ever have a situation like that but you never know. I buy silver and gold more as a hedge to my other paper investments due to the inevitable inflation that is coming from current monetary policies. And I also treat it as a hobby just collecting for fun. Hopefully one day my grand kids can benefit greatly from my hobby when I'm gone. Ill probably never sell any of my silver or gold unless things got really bad.

I think you get a better bang for your buck collecting pure silver bullion coins or bar. Another Overtaxed Payer has a video that looks at the cost per ounce. Junk silver used to be good at one point in time when you could find some silver coins in bank rolls. Now you have to primarily get junk silver from coin shops or order bags of junk silver from the US mint. These options can be quite pricey. These coins are also not .999 or .9999. They are no doubt silver but unless you are familiar with silver content in US coins, it is not the best option if you are looking at quantity, quality and price when stacking silver.

[@Spegtacular]

Even though there’s some coins that have “features” or design traits specific to a certain coin’s year, if the coin has a worn off date, it’s worth next to nothing. Look on EBay at 1916 quarters that have the date worn off. They have a hard time selling.

According to the US Inflation Calculator, 10 cents in 1916 is the equivalent of $2.35 today. So holding that silver dime for inflation protection wouldn't have worked.

Silver was above the rate of inflation in 1916. It began to correct soon after 1916.

I did it to when i started collecting sovereigns and ended up with only gold value ! the the coin was worth $3000 ! ONLY ONCE ! Now i study what i buy and gloves !

Golden State Mint is running a sale on war nickels right now, $37 and change for 40 and if you buy 120 or more you get free shipping. I was going to buy 80 buy I bought 120 to get the free shipping.

[@Spegtacular]

Not too bad of a deal really.

[@johnm1008]

@@Spegtacular yeah, I'm new to stacking so I'm not too sure how to do the math on those but I think they state that at that price they are under spot.

[@anthonytsi]

Where do you buy your junk silver? I am starting out with silver stacking.

[@Spegtacular]

Anywhere that sells it pretty much .. as long as the price is decent

[@toddfather1971]

I buy a lot from APMEX and haven't been disappointed yet. It's all I've been buying for the past year.

[@OdySlim]

I have started to collect coin sets for the birth dates of my Grand parents. Grandpa on dads side was born 1894. I am going to try to obtain every U.S. 1894 coin made for that year. One in memory of each grand parent. Sounds dumb but I cant use any coin I already have. Regards from Ody

[@Spegtacular]

That’s not dumb at all Ody. I keep pre1983 pennies for their copper content.. everybody collects something different;) we’re all snowflakes ... in a good way

[@OdySlim]

@@Spegtacular Thanks Speg. I too hoard copper pennies amongst other things. I love old dimes but havent saved any since my silver collection grew feet

Roosevelt was one of if not the worst president ever!

why?

[@rdioactvgmr]

There have been many presidents that were worse than fdr. Such as L. B. Johnson.

[@bina21]

Another awesome video- I always loved collecting dimes- I have an old piggy bank of just dimes - I’m going to look though them tomorrow.....at least $100 in dimes in there - maybe I’ll find some silver in there💰👍 if not, I guess I’ll have to go to the LCS....😊

[@Spegtacular]

Wow I’m willing to bet that you at least find something cool in there.

[@Barada73]

I love the American history, “Americana”, aspect of coin collecting so that’s why I gravitate towards the coins that were actually used as currency. Plus, in the event of an economic collapse, I believe that many people will find comfort in the familiar and it will be easier to use these kinds of coins to buy day to day items.

[@woezacardoza5659]

Not going to happen in an economic collapse gold or silver worthless

[@vincentdelosa4044]

Whats the differncce red& blue books

[@Spegtacular]

Blue is supposed to be for dealers and their buy prices and red is for a collector and their sell prices

[@kyledecell554]

I want to know where you’re finding barber dimes for “$1-$1.20-$1.30”!!!

[@Spegtacular]

Watch my videos. I find a lot of deals.

[@jay-rus4437]

Kyle Decell .....my LCS bucket. Tulsa OK. Typically I pay $1.25 to maybe $1.35. I order regularly online, but always make sure to go into my LCS weekly also. They know me by name, they know what I look for, and they know that I never leave without buying something. On rare occasions I will pay slightly more for something, like silver eagles, just to keep the relationship with them. I don’t hesitate to say “yeah...I will take those. That is a little more than I can get them for online, but I like visiting with you guys”. So I say it nicely, but also strategically let them know that i am also throwing them a bone too. In return they sometimes cut me a break on certain purchases. For instance, the other day the manager sold me kangaroo bullion for $1.50 over spot. That was a pretty reasonable deal. They also sold me a Scottsdale 20oz kitkat bar for $1.00 over spot. That was a really good deal. You just have to be out there looking...”chitchat” with them, get to know them, and be a regular customer. With all of that said, I can tell you that if you just walk in and ask the same guy how much a barber dime is, he would likely tell you around $2.00-3.00. So its all about relationships in many instances.

[@kyledecell554]

Justin Russell dang! Down here in Texas it’s hard to find deals like that.

[@MickeyRobsBanks]

Love my Junk Silver. I found a 1932D in at worst VF Condition for 11xFace!! You can check the vid!

Sounds like a win!

[@J-Rad-]

And ya, my local lcs doesnt let me comb thru the junk silver, he picks thru it for me but usually the coins are in good shape,..the dimes are more Roosevelt then mercs, but it is what it is ...world junk silver he does let me comb thru to an extent,....i dunno he has good prices...but i guess alot of demand for the junk silver, so im just lucky he has some in stock ..ther isnt any competition, because the other coin store closed ...so i just deal with it ...its still silver and its still cheaper then anywhere online....so i take the good with the bad

Are there any good places to buy junk silver in NYC?

[@Spegtacular]

Online companies can ship it in right to you.

[@G7MIX]

boa coleção de prata👍👍Parabéns pelo trabalho

[@mikerulon]

Seems like the red book is becoming obsolete due to Ebay, and especially bidding. I find USA coin website to be closer to what things go for but that is still on the high side also. I would think coin shops have taken a hit to the bottom line with coins getting hotter and hotter on Ebay.

[@Spegtacular]

In my area, coin shops are so few and far between so I think they stay busy enough simply based on their rarity. Pawn shops are much more common.

[@tarilitteral3510]

So if you buy a bag of say $1,000 face value junk sliver would you open the seal and go thru it looking for more valuable coins?

[@Spegtacular]

Always! Not everyone does that... but often times I find more valuable coins among the others.

[@richardb4787]

I was wondering what "junk silver" meant. It probably means that it's not 99.99 pure.

[@DPacVV]

Is12.5 face value worth it?

[@Spegtacular]

That’s under spot I believe

[@christofour217]

I recently bought $300 face at spot when the price was $10.86 per $1- face, and then i bought $325 face at $11.90 spot silver value. Not bad huh?

[@Spegtacular]

Really good! Don’t you wish you always got those prices?

[@christofour217]

@@Spegtacular I remember when the premium for 90% junk was over $4- an ounce. So yeah, it's a steal at these prices. Cheers....

No sir you can’t. Especially when you can get it below spot price right now as I can.

I don't believe that the "appearance" of junk coins would matter very much during an economic collapse/apocalyptic situation; as long as the silver content is greater such as 90%.🤔 What is your viewpoint regarding that🤔?
