The 4 BEST Types of Silver to Stack, and why we Stack them!

[@jonathanflores9874]

It's crazy to think that coins at one point in time in the passed 100 years were actually presious metals. So authentic and it's sort of like a fantasy. Today everything is fake, even the people are.

[@alanahenderson6030]

So true lol.

[@why6212]

Yeah I was surprised how it felt when I got a silver eagle. It was like back when I was a kid and held a $20 bill for the first time. I realized that over time I've grown to accept currency as intrinsically worthless, but silver is different.

[@Aus10McNeal]

Yeah, but back then it wasn't worth what it's worth now, maybe in 100 years paper will be worth a lot and people will be amazed we traded it to each other for goods/services.

[@ken76918]

@@Aus10McNeal it was valuable back then, the difference was that the currency was not deflated like it is now. One of the reasons for going off the gold standard was so that the fed could manipulate our currency. If we had stayed on the gold standard a dollar would be worth what an ounce of silver is worth now.

[@aaronwilliamson4045]

Lots of fake today, but Jonathan there are lots of good people as well, like yourself.

[@captaincoyote1792]

I liked that “thooonk” sound, when you set that 20 ounce bar down! Thooonk! I don’t want any collectibles…I have too much of that now. I want to touch (with gloves, of course) the coins….to be able to truly stack them. I really enjoy your videos, amigo!

I stacked U.S. silver dimes. If I have to trade silver for goods I can make change.

[@mg-Q17]

[@Stax-ht9md]

I've started saving silver this year due to concerns over all the money that is being printed. For that reason I like the constitutional silver. Denominational coins are a great option to fall back on, and will always have value regardless of which way the wind blows.

[@snickle1980]

😁 Grats on your new Silver obsession. Now that it's been roughly ten months since the beginning, I'd like to know how it's going for you. I'm an old silver hoarder from 2005-6' ($12.50 per oz+$2 premium) and I'm always curious to see how others deal with the first ups and downs. 😐Your first year appears to be a down year. That would be a serious "filter" for most people. Did you sell your stash in disgust as the price dropped or did you survive and add to the stack? I've had to start completely over at around the same time (2020-2021), so we're sort of at the same price point, regardless. I just picked up 9.4 oz's for $300 but i still have a long way to go in order to regain my former glory. At the height of my empire, I was sitting on 933 troy ounces.😁

[@itscommonsense3128]

Since I started stacking couple months ago, I have bought all from local coin shop. Super nice guy. Just made it to 💯 oz last week.. plus a few silver dollars and such. He also told me better to buy the silver dimes for fractional instead of the fractional

[@reaperundergroundexplorati2232]

Way cheaper, look at the price of 1 gram silver bars vs a roll of pre 64 dimes. 1gram of silver will run ya around $5 per gram (roughly) . The dime will have 2.25 grams of silverwith a price of $2.10 per coin.

I wish you'd mention how rounds have a ridged edge so they can't be shaved. This is an ancient security feature because not everyone had access to a scale when making a transaction. This is a feature that makes rounds superior to bars.

[@snickle1980]

Are you trying to tell me that With some knowledge and dedication, I could buy a ten ounce sunshine bar, shave off a small fraction, then sell it to my local dealer, rinse and repeat? I think I'd run into trouble doing that...Perhaps with a poured bar, but at this point, we know he's going to be using a scale. 😐Perhaps this scheme worked better in the olden days of yore. Do you remember the days of yore? Good times... and noodle salad. At the moment, I'm picking up whatever Mr local dealer happens to have. I'm in a tourist town, so there's like...one _REAL coin dealer_ and at least 15 "We buy Gold" shops posing as coin dealers. 😁 This paycheck with spot at $24.15, I managed to snag 8 SD Bullion rounds at $29 ea. I also grabbed two silver dollars at $34 ea. One shiny peace dollar, and one non-cull Morgan 1884. Good price on the Morgan. $300 total. Makes me miss 2006 prices. 😑

[@Ryan-sl2oe]

@@snickle1980 if the currency collapses, our society will be similar to "the days of yore" when we are using silver as barter. I personally will trust a round over a bar. Not everyone has the means to test silver. It's an added security feature and its easily dismissed by people who lack foresight or who stack silver as an "investment". I think its important to remember why we stack silver to begin with and not be so dismissive of the things that have worked for centuries.

[@snickle1980]

@@Ryan-sl2oe Unintentional dismissiveness. No worries. It's a good feature, no doubt about it. Always good to pass that on. I try and snag a little bit of everything, aside from numismatics and semi-numi. With the latter, you just never know early on what will happen. These days, a currency collapse is no longer out of the realm of possibilities...Officially, the care-free days seem to have ended circa 2020, eh? The number of counterfeit rounds being sold is up significantly since the last time i was stacking...2006-2011. At the same time, I'm buying my rounds from my local, so...Trust isn't really an issue. Still. When i can get a moderately decent price, I've been leaning more heavily into coinage this time around. Just to have some more interesting pieces.

[@VaporeonEnjoyer1]

I want to be a silver stacker, but I'm just so taken in by the beauty of your silver eagle proof, or the history of something like a great condition 1890's Morgan dollar that has passed hands god knows how many times over close to 150 years and I find the collection of history over the profit motive. I need to get into a place where silver stacking subsidizes collecting.

[@chucker625]

One more thing to consider is sales tax. Different states have different laws regarding taxation on the sale of sovereign vs generic silver. In my state, any "sovereign coin" is subject to sales tax ("coin" defined as "anything that has been or could be used as legal tender"). But, generic silver with .999 purity or better is NOT subject to sales tax. So, at today's prices and premiums - I can buy 200 oz of Sunshine Eagles (generic) for about $5,100 shipped whereas 200 oz of Silver Eagles (sovereign) would cost me about $6,900. So, basically, I'm giving up the first $9.00 of silver spot increase just to make up the gap in purchase price.

[@sthieman5860]

Another good video! Sign me up for some of those $24 silver eagles.

[@hdtwal1den]

One thing to think about: If and when silver goes parabolic ($100 oz?), there will be more counterfeiting. No one will be able to counterfeit 90% very easily. If they do, it'll be pretty easy to tell.

About 10 year ago a thief broke into my apartment and in addition to a lot of other stuff stole the piggy bank and an 18 karat gold chain over a foot and a half long and ridiculously thick (made Mr. T's gold chains look puny)my dad bought in South America in the 1950s. It really hurt.

Anyway. Someone broke into my house. They took the game consol and some stuff but they didn't look there and find my silver :)

[@fromontario6954]

I wonder if the crook knew the dimes were silver?

[@pedrowhack-a-mole6786]

I concentrated on 1964 Kennedy halves when I started stacking. Over 400 million were made for that 1 year, the vast majority were hoarded for their silver content so very few show any signs of wear, and they remain the best value for the condition of all Constitutional silver coins. I also stack Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes to have smaller fractions. Silver dollars all carry a numismatic premium because they were all minted prior to 1936 so they are a poor choice to stack. American Eagles and Buffalo bullion coins are so popular that they carry a ridiculous premium and that's why I won't stack them. If you really need quantities of gold or silver in your "collection" or hoard, rounds or bars from a reputable source are the way to go.

[@SilverGram]

I have dimes and half dollars too. Not as many quarters. I've kind of given up on ASEs for the time being. Premiums are insane right now.

[@TheWarnickthree]

Sorry I am new to stacking, but can anyone help me out what is a numismatic premium? And would you guys suggest stacking a mint silver ounce or what should I go for first?

[@pedrowhack-a-mole6786]

@@TheWarnickthree Numismatic premium has to do with the collectability, rarity, and/or condition of a coin. Kennedy halves don't have much of a numismatic premium because they are so common, even in uncirculated condition. A rare coin in fair condition can demand a high price because there are so few examples.

[@TheWarnickthree]

Thank you I have been getting some rounds from a guy here that is local to me and I am pretty sure I am paying a high premium, but I am not selling them any time soon. Thanks for the information on stacking and if you come up with any other helpful tips for me feel free to let me know.

[@Mr3016able]

I've just started stacking, thank you for the info.

[@greyshadow9498]

I tend to do all of the above. Junk silver is great because it can be had cheap, and if you're patient enough to sort through it you can oftentimes come up with a coin or 2 of collectable value. Plus the variety of sizes you'll usually have just what you need. I have the usual stack of ASE's that everyone has, because they are always an easy sell. You'll never have a problem unloading them. Mostly I have generic rounds (mainly Sunshine Mint because of the Mintmark SI security feature, but I also have Apmex and Scottsdale as well) And of course Apmex 10oz stacker bars. Generics and bars are all vaulted for security and mainly used for investment and buy/sell/trade

[@CSM-68]

I was born in 1968,. My dad taught me at an early age, early 70's, to check your pocket change every day. Back then we would find multiple silver coins in every pocketful. By the 80's there were fewer and fewer. To this day I still check all my pocket change and I average 1 (one) silver coin (dimes mostly but sometimes a quarter) a year. But I still check. If I were in banking or a cash business that dealth with coinage I would check that as well.

Something you missed altogether is that if you got a sharp eye and some further knowledge you can get your constitutional Silver out and glean some additional value by pulling coins with numismatic value. I love Walking liberty Halves Dollars and Franklin's also. Another very desirable type is Mercury Dimes. I pull all the Walking liberty Halves that are like very good or better and they always have a premium over silver spot and if they are fine, very fine and extra fine they can really get substantial premiums. I have rolls of better stuff I have pulled out and keep separate and would never sell before all my other silver was gone first. I could even sell them for more than silver value now but I love them too much to just sell for the money. You would be surprised how much more the Walking liberty Halves and mercury dimes are worth especially when you pull them out of coins obtained for just the Silver price.
