Why not stack Gold brother???

[@zed332l]

The National Debt clock has silver at 1,417.00 oz and paper to silver at 353:1. Today 8/5/2022 at 1827 or 627 Pm est... I read that as for every person who holds one oz 353 people have a piece of paper they own it also..... If you can't hold it you don't own it....

[@joecola6487]

How long is the 20 oz Scottsdale ? Got a shallow safe and can’t find dimensions anywhere 😀

[@ThatGuy-mu2rr]

I have been stacking the Germania Mint 10 oz and 1000g Ag bars. LOVE THEM !

[@woodelfdragon8603]

You should make a update video on bars to buy I'm 2023

[@anthonygalliart1789]

My strategy for silver stacking for the last 4 years is get whatever is the lowest price at the time. So long as it's at least .999 or better I don't care who put their company name on it or what the picture is on it. When premium coins cost the same as generic rounds I buy the premium. For a while there I was getting Britannias for the same cost as Asahi or other generics and many times got Philharmonics or Krugerrands that way. This has allowed me to stack several thousand ounces. I have no 401K, silver is it so get as much as you can and to heck with paying extra for fancy names. When the price skyrockets no one is going to care if it says Krugerrand or Highland Mint they are going to pay the current price for silver or better.

[@brandons7272]

Yeah how do you get better than .999? Let me know cuz I want some of that LOL😉

[@uhhTabby]

@@brandons7272 RCM bars are .9999

[@sswwiinnccee]

@@brandons7272Canadian maples are 4 nines fine, as are Australian kangaroos. All of the 2oz British Tudor beasts collection are 999.9, in fact there are more coins than you’d think that are 4 nines. You’ll pay the extra for that 0.9 though and I don’t think it works out as cost effective in the long run. It’s nice just to have a few for the collection though

[@goldeneye70]

That's your strategy, get it for the lowest price, that's a good strategy. Fyi, you should care whose company's name is on that silver bar, I would rather have Scottsdale than Like silvertowne

[@anthonygalliart1789]

@brandons7272 The silver bars and coins I get out of Canada are .9999 but the US stuff is .999+ but they don't say + what. My German 100 oz bars are marked .9999 as well. Liberty Coin in Huntington Beach CA gets what they call generic Buffaloes from Canada that are .9999 also.

[@jamesbaker6661]

I personally prefer the 10oz Royal Canadian Mint bars and the 10oz Royal Mint bars. I just think they are better looking, and I like that a government mint produced them.

[@christopherbolton4199]

Im a single father with 2 boys. Ive survived 5 bouts of cancer to include testicular skin and lung. 15 operation have left me with living in a trailor with a breathing machine on pallitive care because now this past year I have suffered congestive heart failure causing me a gfeat amount of pain and stress. Breathing with only one lung which I have COPD and Emphysema has become exhausting. I focuse on staying alive for my sons. My youngest 15 and the eldest 24. I'm trying to stack all that I can to leave for them a good lesson in saving for the future, their future. Im doing my best with limited funds but I want them to have a good and honest start. So far I've amassed (mostly coin) but do have some gram bars and a 10 oz. Which is my favorite. All in total 29 ounces of walking liberty's and eagles, as well as some generics. In the end scheme no-one cares who stamped it as long as it melts correctly. Hopefully I can find better deals for my boys up until I cannot afford them anylonger. That needs to be a part of my legecy. To everyone who reads this comment, I hope that you can find a happiness to stay with you always reminding you of how easy it is to love one another. Keep smiling!🤗

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Best wishes to you and your sons, I hope you find some relief from your pain and stress. Thank you for watching, sounds like you've got a good stack going so far!

[@JW52654]

Just came across your channel today, watch a few videos and am impressed with your level headedness, so I decided to subscribe. Campbells coins is my favorite and now you are in that category. Thank you for your work.

[@michaelsanchez8519]

I’m new to stacking and I’ve seen many videos of folks stacking coins and they prefer it. But I agree with you, stacking bars does seem more like treasure. Coins just feel like coin collecting. Nothing too sexy. But bars on the other hand kind of have a “wealthy” look and feel to them. Thank you for the video!

[@allen_p]

Most of my bars are 1oz as I have a limited budget. In late 2021 I started getting 100gr Germania Mint bars. The security features on them are a plus to me.

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Good choice!

[@rockymountainlockpicker9606]

The Germania mint bars are my fav

[@owenbanks3675]

Hands down the RCM 10 oz bar is the best & the air tite capsule fits prefect and stacks very well.

[@rogueinvestor2375]

Sunshine Mint bars and rounds are my favorite. They have cool security feature.

[@mikenelson7894]

Great video with good advise

[@eero6326]

Ratio between paper silver and real silver is stunning. When the music stops there will be only one chair for almost 400 dancers! Owning just some physical silver may feed your family for a year. About investing: better a year too early than a day too late -Chris Martenson.

I stack only five and ten ounce Sunshine Mint Bars. Love them.

[@ListenWell]

Great video Thank you for sharing Much love and blessings ⭕️❤️

[@HDDynalowrider]

I just got a 10 ozt bar ordered. Cant wait to see what Hero sends. It was a random pick. Got it right before the price went up. Deal is already 11 dollars more

[@lisabibby6274]

I am drawn to the 10 ounce RCM bars, I own several of them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge about this topic, it's much appreciated.

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Thanks for watching, happy stacking!

[@Silverhands]

That’s the only bar anyone should stack.

[@ReelX4U]

I love the “Germania Mint Bars”. I have one of all the sizes both the “Metric” Bars and the “Ounces” Bars. In fact, this video has peeked my interest back into the “Germania Mint Bars”. I think I will navigate to the “Hero Bullion Website “ to do a purchase, even though the spot price of Silver has been steadily rising. I will wait for a dip in spot price and then complete the purchase. Apart from spot price, the “Germania Mint Bars” are absolutely stunning to look at and to hold in your hands with their extremely immaculate and shiny look and the “Physical Dimensions” are enticing to look at also and these are just some of the reasons plus many others that their bars give me reason enough for me to purchase them. After all a quality product will always sell itself. Anyway Thank You For You Commentary.

[@kevinnovo2197]

I just ordered the Kilo Germania Mint I can't wait. Looks so nice

[@lilrockfromga5092]

I like the Engelhard, Johnson Matthey, Geiger & Germania bars are my favorite. I like them in 10oz or kilo bars

[@mikehastings1531]

Very nice clean info presentation for the noobs, well done !.

[@alexking8915]

Great vid, thx!

[@brandonkeck4404]

Germaniamint is my new go-to silver. I like how they come already in plastic and in a box. The prices are about the price I want to spend when I buy some SIlver. I have used a lot of online stores, but recently have found that Hero Bullion is a lot better priced than it's competitors.

[@JW52654]

I agree about Hero Bullion, unfortunately they don't ship to Minnesota.

[@edallen4936]

They're free shipping starts at $149 the cheapest of any of the major companies

[@garbo8962]

Yep they were over$10 cheaper for 10 ounce Germans silver bars when I purchased a few. Following week silver went up a small amount then hero was over $20 a bar cheaper.

[@arikjohnson412]

My 10 oz bar collection has been getting a lot of attention lately - so diverse I think they’re more interesting than 1 oz rounds and it concentrates a lot of metal in a small package.

[@allamericanstacker2563]

And it also resells very cheap

[@davemi00]

10 oz bars are now my favs At good premiums

[@bluesinaz]

Favorite bar? Scottsdale 20 oz bar, like the one in this video.

[@tomsrandomness]

100% agree and love hero and the Germania bars. I get 2 each payday

[@bubba9985]

I recently purchased a couple of 5 oz Germania bars. Recently best deals seem to be either 10 oz bars on sale or Kilo bars

[@manster1714]

No toe breaking my friend great video thanks

[@origamioutlaww5056]

I like to focus on bars throughout the year when premiums are low. I buy 10 oz. RCM, Asahi, and Academy Stacker bars when I feel that the price is right. Then into the Air-Tite bullion coffins ⚰️ they go. I also like 1 oz. bars and buy them in sets of five. I keep those in Air-Tites and store them in a 25-count Guardhouse box. I’m trying to get different sets of five and have filled one box by doing that. Now five deep into the second Guardhouse with the 1 oz. Samurai bars. 🇯🇵🏯 Makes stacking and collecting bars a bit more fun for me.

[@SilasMarnerAuAg]

cool bars. i also like the 10 oz donkey bars from silvertown. i wish they still put the serial numbers on them though. just a cool design of a miner with his burrow

[@flowergirl2day]

Germania Mint has been my favorite. They come in 100 gram, 500 gram, 5 oz, 10 oz and the kilo. They are very compact and easy for storage. They are also .9999 . I like Monument Metals in MD.

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Good to know!

[@jrtjonathanwinchell3955]

Smart Silver Stacker great video.

[@Lee-xb7lb]

Love bars. Current favorite is the Apmex's 9fine mint. Chunky and satisfying hand feel.

[@savagestacker]

Cool video 😎

[@vessela7484]

I mostly buy coins but the other day I saw the 5oz Aztec silver bar and just had to pick up one of those. Also got a couple of the 2oz Aztec rounds. They do make them pretty.

[@spfein]

My favorite bar I've seen are the 1,5,and 10 oz silvertown flag bars, I have a 1oz I still want the 5 and 10 to add to that collection another one I'm doing are those noah's ark coins from armenia

[@billparks7368]

A little late to this video but listened intently. Your calm reasoning approach to explaining silver and the world economy makes you my first go to when my silver alerts come up. Some go into such minute detail it gets boring. And when all their videos are them marking out to the local coin shop owner it just seems lame. Variety will be the key for whatever happens down the road. Big bars for investing, 1oz rounds for barter/trade. Constitutional/junk silver for backup.

[@Stackinginvestments1]

Nice Silver Bar collection

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Thank you!

[@Tellos]

I am just getting started so started with 1oz bars plan to mix in coins and bigger bars too.

[@vincentfuria7301]

I remember when I was paying $4.16 an ounce at $42.50 for a 10oz bar back in the mid 1980's.

[@JA-ux7dd]

Love the Germainia Kilo...

The Best Silver Bars is what i have in my storage Period

No 🐂💩‼️ 😂👍

[@silvergameofthrone]

@@origamioutlaww5056 thats right no 🐂🐂💩‼

[@anthonygalliart1789]

I agree, my stack would be a third lighter if I had to buy nothing but government stamped silver. I just get whatever is on sale. Silvertown, Highland Mint, Sunshine Mint, Golden State Mint, Istanbul Gold Refinery, Mason Mint, Silver & Gold Bull, SD Bullion etc. All that matters to me is it's .999+ and they all are, buying from reputable sellers like Liberty Coin, Money Metals Exchange, Ayden Coins, Provident Precious Metals, etc, you know it's REAL as they check it using electro magnetic systems to authenticate it. You are right on.

[@dontask8979]

Even if it was a tracker... Its not the chip they would track, it's the app downloads. Those 20oz Scottsdale bars are so damn cool.

[@SmartSilverStacker]

They're great, remind me of pirate treasure

[@garylynch9206]

I have a 10oz Germania coin I bought in expectation of flipping it to one of a few regular buyers I have. Sadly I fell in love with it qnd will never sell it.

[@trueconspiracies7945]

I just purchased 2 - 1 Kilo Germania Mint Silver Bars .9999 - I prefer the 1kG (32.15 oz.) size

[@ezal3634]

you can pick up scottsdale mnt bars on ebay for low premiums. :)

[@armin10211978]

This is true

[@jhtsurvival]

I started recently. I was just going to buy the weight. I got sucked into the cool ones tho

[@rarodriguez365]

My favorite bar is the 10oz silver towne bufallo bar

[@agentlemadness1348]

Good video & info - Thanks! Big fan of the Germania Mint bars - The 10 oz & kilos make up a large portion of My Silver Stack Also a fan of Hero Bullion - Purchased most of My Germania Mint bars from Them, Monument Metals & Bold. Found these Dealers tended to have the Best price on the Germania bars ~AGM

[@happyhippo4664]

Most of my bars are cast or poured. And I have mostly 5 oz bars. The 10 oz bars I have are mostly the pressed type.

[@mrfrisky5887]

I collect the vintage poured. lucky enough to have a source that does not charge significant premiums … just don’t know what some of that stuff is worth 😉

[@mikepict9011]

I like 9999 I value purity. It's nice having more then one option with the new Germania

[@SmartSilverStacker]

yeah I'm glad they came on the scene!

[@mikepict9011]

@Smart Silver Stacker I got serial 000191 in 10 oz , probably hold onto it for a while , think they'll be popular

[@barbaradimascio4623]

[@spfein]

That 20 oz scottsdale bar makes an excellent conceal carry lol

[@SmartSilverStacker]

it's got some heft that's a fact lol

[@kiwicory100]

Would you want something you could melt and not feel bad in the process of doing it? When you need to unstack? Something like a Hershey chocolate bar format?

[@betod3113]

I noticed that some 1oz bars are going up in price.. I saw 2 bars for $34 and the rest for crazy prices..the lady fortuna bars are expensive.. Al search for a cheap bar vintage

[@jacobjoab3952]

Monument Metals just ran a kilo bar sale for 1.99 over spot

[@georgiafetting6945]

I found your information on silver bare to be quite informative but was disappointed that you said so little about the 100oz.bar except that it could break your foot if you dropped it. Engelhard does have a great reputation and their name alone seems to command a bit of a premium.

[@Jack_Stacks]

The Germania shrink wrap contains PVC. Curious to see how it ages.

[@spfein]

I mostly have 1oz bars and 1 10oz slab lol

[@user-ww3lo3fo6y]

The one and only Mint ID bar I tried to purchase turned out to be fake when the dealer scanned it with a metal testing machine rather than rely on NFC digital database. Watch out for that trick!

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Did you also check the nfc tag?

[@user-ww3lo3fo6y]

No the metal itself didn't check out so I didn't bother with the nfc since its not really a real test@@SmartSilverStacker

[@Duck420Ag]

I have everything from 1/2oz rounds to 100oz bars. But most of my stack, maybe 70% is in 10oz bars. Just seemed to work out this way. Better premiums than 1oz bars/rounds, and not as problematic as 100oz bars.

[@thesilversliver5728]

Silver is the people's money #RiseoftheMiddle

[@Resistantspoon]

If my budget if 40$ and I'm able to spend 5$ on one gram after spending 35$ with ahipping to get one ounce I buy it because it's still silver and it will add up over time you're also not spending money on shipping for just one ounce or one gram so it's one ounce and 1 gram each time you buy a single and it will eventually add up if you can't spent like 60 for 2 oz

[@JA-ux7dd]

Kilo is the perfect size...a good port wine and a kilo silver bar go hand and hand...

[@zzyzxRDFwy15]

12:25 Don't be dinging up my silver bars, Dude...

[@flowergirl2day]

I previously used jm bullion - high prices, fast shipping but not so good in customer service. My three 100 oz bars or total of 300 oz bars shipped UPS and never came. I had to wait 6-7 weeks to get my money back. It was on the UPS truck and magically disappeared. I did report it to them within 1.5 days and it was insured. But I heard their insurance does not cover after being left at the door or if you wait like 4 days to report. Luckily, I did get my money and rebought kilo's from Monument Metals at a much lower price. They are small co. but very good. A little slower but superior! Their checking system is not plaid so it is compatible with my bank. They will not ship UPS in Denver metro either. Either FedEx or mail.

[@richardlovett4958]

I bought silver grams 2 years ago for prepper reasons. I wouldn't do that today

[@Disinfective_Vibes]

Man you didn't say a word about CNT 10 oz bar. Is it a good buyback priced ?

[@SmartSilverStacker]

They're about as generic as generic can get, but on the plus side they usually carry a low premium. At the end of the day, silver is silver so yeah they're great!

[@olveroliver52]

Don't forget the 1 gram bars! Lol

[@richardcontinijr9661]

In my 30+ years of buying silver I've bought everything from 1oz to 1000oz bars. My favorite for the last 2 years has been 10oz bars. Recently I've stumbled on a steady supply of 10oz poured fleur-de-lis bars at a smoking deal. Picked up 12 of them in the last 3 weeks. The older I get the less I want to mess with anything over a kilo. It's just too damn heavy. I'm not looking forward to the day that I have to move one of my 1000oz bars.

[@richardcontinijr9661]

Looks like I made the imposter delete their scam post

[@trapperbobpatriot8288]

I have a decent stack of everything that I bought on sale. I don’t understand what good silver will be if the currency is worthless. In other words why trade metal for worthless paper

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Trade it for other assets after purchasing power of the metal increases

[@markcarey5673]

Right now as I am watching your video the spot price on silver $24.56 and the Scottsdale mint is asking a $70 premium on a 10 silver stacker. That works out to a premium of 28.5% over the spot price. That seems absurd to me. Am I missing something? I can buy gold at 5.8% over spot. I am relatively new at all this and I am sure there is something I'm missing. Can you give me some clues?

[@michaelthearchangel4646]

Physical demand for silver is insanely high. But I'd expect to pay $3-4 over spot for 10 ounce bars

[@Wookietown]

Thats what he said in the video. Scottsdale makes great stuff and premiums used to be low, but now everybody loves them so premiums are high.

[@DaveEPie]

Seems like Scottsdale mint has a higher premium. I don’t know why. Like he said - just find the deals- Sunshine mint- And those RCM .9999 10 oz bars are very nice. I used to be picky. Now I just look for lowest premium. And yes, if you have 2k Buy a ounce of gold when the premiums drop- Imo You need both silver and gold.

[@joannlynch9910]

You didn’t mention PAMP Suisse bars. Do you not like them?

[@macclark4112]

Make no mistake into the future you will not get a Premium. Once you see Triple digit Silver even the Eagles won’t bring a Premium.

[@eazye519]

Germania mint bars are over priced for a generic bar

I like the 10 oz bars but would consider 1/2 kilo or kilo. Would stay away from 100 oz bars cause I need my toes☠️💀☠️

[@SmartSilverStacker]

Yeah I don't think I'll be stacking too many more 100 oz bars. I would kinda like an RCM 100 oz bar, but that would be about it

[@mikenelson7894]

[@steveguzman6319]

What is the best eBay selling for silver bars? In your experience/ opinion

[@ronan310]

I have lots of silver.....some gold.....but what i never hear anyone talking about is Palladium....right now...a 1 oz Palladium coin is $500 higher than a 1 oz ..Gold Eagle....I was just wondering what you thought about the ramp...Not gonna chase it....esp when i dont understand it....

[@richardcontinijr9661]

I wouldn't buy any. The big industrial use for palladium is in catalytic converters. When the world switches to electric cars and it will there will be a drop in price. It will definitely be cheaper than gold at that point. I stack silver gold and platinum and in that order.
