I stumbled onto the 10 Ozt bars and was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved them. Great size, high value, yet not crazy expensive, to me that’s great.

[@SilverForeverX]

It's a nice thing you like them, they are a reliable size for sure. For me, I've started stacking those kilos from the Germania Mint because I think the premium difference is beginning to justify it. Just hoping I don't need to sell in a slow market!

[@TexAnts-xp7tl]

I'm stacking with the savings strat... Generic rounds and bars. Weight. Lower premiums and I've got 20+ years to invest.

[@PlatinumAbra]

That's what I've decided to do!

I love the look and dimensions of that 500g silver bar. Not too big, not too small. That 10oz. Britannia is a BEAUT too! The coins are as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@swinn848]

My first purchase was 100oz. I had no idea what I was doing. Thanks to the education of KZbin. I stick to rounds and 10oz right now

[@SilverForeverX]

I think that's probably the smartest play... I personally love the Germania kilos just because the premiums have been much lower than 10 oz bars over the past couple of years--- but of course there's much less flexibility for smaller sales

[@karltaylor5643]

Just started middle of August 2023. I like antique vintage classic silver bars. Getting 1 oz. 10 oz prob the best. Got 10's and 1 kilo. Order a 100oz today for collateral investment building.

For me 10 oz pressed bars are tops for collecting. I have a few of the 10 oz Britannia and you are so right, they are very reflective. I keep bars in original packaging, however I'm thinking of capsuling 1 of my 10 oz Britannia and RCM for display. Might jump on a 1 oz gold Britannia some day.

Love the 250 gram EIC coin bars. Whats the big deal working in grams?

[@SilverForeverX]

Working in grams just makes things more complicated in the States. I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing if you tried to sell this 250g coin bar at the LCS, most would just pay you as if it was 8 ozt (rather than 8.04). In reality, it's not a big deal if it ends up just being a $1 difference, but the point is it will typically require a conversion to troy ounces, which is just another layer of complexity that can lead to price confusion during a transaction. In the states, 10 oz bars are really the standard, so I don't see much advantage to the 250g size. Many shops will have a much easier time reselling the 10 oz bar because that's what people are familiar with, so they may be less likely to make a competitive offer on the oddball size. In this case, the same EIC coin bar is made in 10 oz form, so you have the option either way. Here's my video on the 250g coin bar: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6iWinRsZat0n6M That being said, I'm actually stacking Germania Mint kilogram silver bars (instead of 10 oz) right now because I think the difference is premium/spread justifies it!

[@SilverForeverX]

[@robertoh.20]

you don't need to bust out a calculator for the 250gms bar, it's just a quarter of a kilo, and you should easily be able to find out what a kg of silver costs, not in terms of oz, say a kilo is $1000, therefore 1/4 = $250 extremly simple.

@@SilverForeverX In 2007, myself and 4 other buddies purchased 2 Comex Silver contracts (10 x 1000oz bars) and we had another friend who was a commodities broker guide us through the process. It went smoothly back then. We each bought 2 of the bars. The bars are not pretty, and they are heavy (over 75lbs.). but they are now the foundation of my silver stack. I have been stacking since 1987. But I really didn't get into silver until the 2000's. They have held their value compared to the US dollar. I think we paid about $10.25....

[@NoName-tz6ex]

Newbie here. First off, I love the video and subbed. I definitely am not stacking for a collection (although I do have 2-3 rounds, I got for that purpose) I am stacking purely for investment/ pass on to kids. My stack is still very small, only 1 10oz bar and maybe 30 1oz and 4 grams of gold. One question I do have is do shops do swaps? Like if I bring in 10 1oz bars do they swap for a 10oz? Or any size really? It sounds dumb but with my nubbiness I have no idea and I'm sure it all depends on the local shops. Thanks, and keep up the awesome job. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos.

[@SilverForeverX]

Not a dumb question at all, Alex! I think you stand a good shot of trading 10 x 1oz bars for a 10 oz bar, but it really depends on the shop. Lately, my local coin shop hasn't been discounting 10 oz bars, so you pay the same price per oz whether you buy 10 x 1 oz bars or just the one 10 oz. In that case, it doesn't really make sense for the LCS to do the trade because it just takes up time and they don't stand to profit from the transaction. Always think about what the other guy stands to gain from the trade/swap; unless your friends doing each other a favor, people don't make trades to benefit the other guy. Because smaller bars often have higher premiums than larger bars, many shops or private parties would probably be open to making the trade. BUT keep in mind that stacking is a long-term journey. Over time, you will be making new purchases and growing the stack anyway-- so maybe just continue buying 10 oz bars now and just keep those 30 x 1 oz bars stashed away. One advantage to the smaller bars is that you can sell them 1 oz at a time, whereas you don't have that option with the 10 oz bars. Just some things to think about-- I'm not a financial expert or adviser so you have to make your own decisions here. I'm really glad to have you on the channel. I'm still pretty new but I make high-quality videos, so I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy in the video catalog! Stacking is a fantastic pursuit, wishing you the best of luck!

One advantage I can foresee with the 5-oz size: Less of a financial commitment for a possible buyer. 10-oz bars are great, definitely, but I'd say those are where you start getting into real money. It might be no problem for _us_ to buy a 10-oz bar but unless you know you'll deal with well-to-do people exclusively, possible buyers may or may not balk at buying something at that size...especially if you're selling when the spot price is higher (which I assume would be the case). For the near future, I'll probably stick with 5-oz bars & 1-oz rounds whenever I find good deals.

I'm a newbie when it comes to stacking, but have been collecting silver coins for years. I want to start stacking because I'm concerned about U.S. currency and I want something else to rely on besides just the "dollar." I would buy whatever silver was the cheapest. I'm not concerned about how pretty it is and/or who makes it. I'm going to stack because of the economy. So what am I missing??? I'll wait for your reply and I thank you ahead of time.

[@SilverForeverX]

If you believe that the price of silver will rise significantly, then stacking for weight (versus collectability/numismatics) makes sense; however, one advantage to stacking pieces with semi-numismatic value is that they are more likely to retain their value, even if the price of silver tanked. Although it might seem silly to focus on how 'pretty' something is or who makes it, these factors can (and often do) have a big impact on private resale value (e.g., Engelhard bars). However, if you sell back to a local coin shop, they will likely be paying you close to melt value regardless. As you may have noticed, silver has pretty high premiums right now. If you want to buy 'whatever silver is cheapest', the best thing you can do is to assess the spread, which is the difference between the price you pay and the price you could get for the item if you sold it. A 100 oz bar might be the lowest premium you can find and seem like the cheapest, until you have to sell it back. For many years, a local coin shop might pay you under spot/melt for large bars. And if you have 1 x 100 oz bar instead of 10 x 10 oz bars, you would have to sell the entire item at one time. Likewise, silver bullion coins can be highly variable in terms of their premiums and buyback prices. If all you care about is acquiring precious metals because of concerns for the economic future, you might also look into gold, which has even lower premiums than silver. There's a pretty big overlap in the precious metals community between "stacking for weight" and collecting. I am actually really curious about what silver coins you have been collecting, given that you called yourself a stacking newbie. There's no wrong way to do it-- it really depends on your personal goals. Glad to have you visit the channel and wishing you the best of luck on your stacking journey!

[@scotts1356]

@@SilverForeverX Thank you very much for the detailed and fast response. What you said makes sense. You said some things I never thought about. I said I was just starting to "stack," but I've also been buying silver coins from the mint for years now. So I guess I've been stacking! From the mint, I buy the silver eagle proofs and uncirculated, I used to buy the proof sets and I still buy some of the commemorative silver coins. I buy them because I like them and sometimes I do sell them. I bought the 2021 reverse eagle proof set and plan on holding onto it. I could use these coins for money down the road, but basically I buy the "nice" stuff, just to have it in my collection and to pass it on to my kids. I always thought of stacking as a hedge against economic issues and really didn't think buying silver from the mint was stacking. I guess I was wrong! Obviously you pay a premium for coins and hopefully they go up in value because of the silver price and also because the coins are in demand. I had this "mindset" that stacking was paying as close to spot as I can and using the silver bars and rounds for economic issues. So you helped me realize buying from the mint is also stacking. I should probably look into stacking gold. I stuck with silver because the price is so much lower but you're telling me gold has a lower premium on it. I never really looked into, but I will now. Thanks again.

[@SilverForeverX]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting anyone should "stack" silver with mint products that can have very high premiums, just because it can be really hard to recoup those premiums when you sell! Unfortunately, at many coin shops the proof sets will be bought and treated the same as "junk silver"(pre-1964 US coinage). Coins from the Mint are definitely in the numismatic category, but at the end of the day you're still accumulating silver. I guess you're a stacking collector? Stack-collector? I bought a bunch of the 2021 Morgans from the Mint and still haven't decided what to do with them yet... It's important to become as informed as possible before you start buying for stacking purposes. It's easy to get burned if you don't have a great "lay of the land" for the price environment. I'm not affiliated with this site in any way, but www.findbullionprices.com has good price comparison tools for every major silver and gold product from the all the big online dealers. Also, you should definitely check your local coin shops (LCS) in the area. Ask them for prices and compare to online options. You'll find each LCS can vary WILDLY in price! You can even ask what price they pay to "buy back" the item.. The difference is the spread, and sometimes it can be very enlightening. One last piece of advice: Don't go "all in" at once. Many seasoned stackers advocate for "dollar cost averaging" -- or spreading out your purchases over time, to minimize the risk that you buy it all at 'the wrong price'. I'm not a finance expert or anything, so you should do your due diligence before making your own decisions on this one!

[@shawnadams1460]

Yeah, with my bank roll right now I stay in the 5-10oz size, mainly in the generic brands. The sovereign bars just have too much of a premium on them for my tastes. That doesn't mean I do not own any, I just do not stack them in quantity. I keep some out to have my touchy touchy time with (0.o) .... and of course to show others. But mainly they stay in what they are shipped in. Like you I do not prefer the 1oz bars, but I did get a few tubes of them 5-6 years ago when buying the 1oz rounds and bars were near spot.

Also if you buy 50g-100g plus of the GOLD combibar the premiums are negligible at best, 3%-7-13% 13% for 20g.

@@SilverForeverX ...it’s a beauty. And it fits perfectly in the 10 oz. Air-Tite cases, unlike the other 19 oz. bars that I have to shimmy in there a bit to snap ‘em shut.

[@SilverForeverX]

@@origamioutlaww5056 If I can find decent deals, I think RCM 10 oz would be a good bar to stack heavy

[@origamioutlaww5056]

@@SilverForeverX Agreed! Four 9s fine silver, government backed, and a serial number for security. I have one on the way from Hero Bullion that was $264 when I ordered it a few weeks ago, but I’ve paid as much as $300 for them. It’s the one bar for which I don’t mind paying a slightly higher premium.

[@SilverForeverX]

@@origamioutlaww5056 $264 sounds pretty nice right now!

[@nonjaninja4904]

They make those St. Helena bars in 10oz versions too.

[@SilverForeverX]

Yes, true! But I always seem to find the best deals on the 250g coin bars.. I've added a few to the stack since this video. Maybe 10 oz is more of a "sure thing" though

[@MrGWN7]

You never mentioned the Scotia Bank Silver 5 Troy oz. coins?

[@SilverForeverX]

I think those are technically rounds (not coins).. but I'll have to look into those!

[@MrGWN7]

@@SilverForeverX I dug a little deeper and found them referred to by all 3 names. They have the brilliance of a double struck uncirculated coin (very pretty to look at), are large enough to be considered a bar but are made for a very prestigious company (Scotia Bank) and can be considered a round. If the mint that made them for Scotia can produce such nice work it will be worth taking a look at their other stuff. :)

How do I get started

[@mrlucasa223]

I usually just get junk silver, not sure if that's the best though. I did buy approximately 5 oz of silver quarters, and spent 92 dollars. Do the coins usually sell for less or did I just get a good deal?

[@TheMrdebro34]

Don’t have nothing bigger than a 10 yet! I do wish I had a 100oz JM or Englehard

[@SilverForeverX]

Yeah I have been hesitant to buy 100 oz bars, but if I did-- I think JM or Engelhard would be great choices!

[@demri123]

Kilos are great bc you can get them for basically spot price

[@SilverForeverX]

I'm a kilo guy!

[@DrSchor]

with close to spot as what you want, 5000 ounces are great

music in the background suxs!! No bashing here but I got authisem spectrum disorder means I can get totaly stressed out on that. Sux so mutch that many you tube videos got bg sound. Renders it almost unwatchable to me. =(

[@SilverForeverX]

Sorry to hear that bud, maybe try CC for now and I’ll work on toning down background.. music has been a tough choice for me

[@IngoPagels]

@@SilverForeverX I sometimes wonder about the markt. World is getting more and more komplex and mental disorders seem to be on the rise. Maybe less music would attract more viewers. When I watch old documenterys like 30 years + they seemed to make less use of background music and have less shakey camera movment. Anyhow its up to you anyway. Feature of 2 seperate soundtracks for voice and music would be a nice you tube feature. Less videos would be flaged or they only block the music track.

Yes your strong

you're a weak speller

[@oliverstianhugaas7493]

*SILVER IS SILVER!* Tho i get the whole "It is cooler" factor but frankly in the future when you will need this stuff you will simply be paying with them.

Where do you keep your silver bars overnight?

[@HDDynalowrider]

Did Johnson Matthey turn into JM Bullion?

[@SilverForeverX]

I've always assumed so, but looks like the Johnson Matthey refinery was sold to Asahi. JMB was started by guys named Jonathan and Michael so I guess that's where the name came from. Turns out they aren't the same... www.jmbullion.com/history/

We stackers all have part-time jobs as Mimes, Brett--hence, the gloves.

[@SilverForeverX]

At this point, I wear gloves just to protect the viewer.. fingers under high resolution, high magnification tend to look pretty rough! Doing a mime video on a faceless KZbin channel... now that would make for a boring video hahaha

[@jerrygarcia8372]

VATO i like your channel. Change your INTRO.sounds too close to another annoying channel and the content you provide is way more important and valuable. Great advice. Thank you.

[@SilverForeverX]

Noted! If you check out my video catalog (50+ at this point) you'll find I've been experimenting A LOT with intro style among other things. I'm curious about the channel you're referring to.. do you prefer no intro at all?

[@ebayaccount675]

What about asahi? They bought JM

[@dont.ripfuller6587]

Silver rounds are bars but nobodys ever going to say that casually because its too counterintuitive. Im a fan of the smaller silver, but its based on nothing other than frivolity, like easily carrying it on my person, which serves for nothing other than to tickle my ego.

How do I s

[@coreymennis155]

I noticed this is an old video. Hopefully by now you understand the difference between the rounds and bars.

[@ThatGuy-mu2rr]

Love these silver bars. Btw, is there any way to drop the music from this vid ? I am sure there is a way to do it.

[@SilverForeverX]

Only way to re-do would be making a separate KZbin video.. I asked my subscribers a while ago what they thought about background music, and less than 15% said to drop it.. I've always been conflicted about it

[@Saki630]

good financial advise for the preppers scared of WW3. Its going to be great looting their stacks at the trailer park!

Why not talk about how they put silver shot into the mould then put a lid on then heat the mould ? That’s exactly how Perth mint make there 10oz and 1kg bars yet people who don’t know what they are talking about call them poured , so where is the pour ?

[@SilverForeverX]

True, often times terminology gets confusing and inaccurately applied. I think "cast" might be the most inclusive term of these various methods
