Hi BYB, I'm collecting two of each of the QB 10oz coins and due to current conditions, I missed the White Horse of Hanover. So after a search, I found Bleyer Bullion in the UK, which had them. The shipping cost was £26.50, but I did not have to pay VAT which would have been £110. The conversion fee to Canadian dollars was at the market rate and not the usual 4% more. This was through WISE money transfer from a bank debit and their fee was just CDN$1.07. Since I already have two of each of the first 8 coins, I decided to go for it, rather than quit, which I almost did. Hopefully, the last coin will be a little more available here in Canada, though the UK route may be cheaper. We'll see. I already have three sets of the 2oz QB's. And the QB 1oz bullion gold Completer is on my radar.

I went deeper than I'd like in PMs recently even with the silver premiums. I had a small amount before from a few years back but something about all this massive money printing and continuous UBI-like programs coming out...has me a bit worried, and came back in this year. I don't even really want it to popoff like others think it will. If it does then sweet, but tbh I just want to lock in value in some form instead of holding cash. The outlook of the dollar doesn't look too good, unfortunately. So I'm coming in from a defensive position not for speculative gains. If it dips back to what it's been in the past then I'm ok and will continue stacking at those prices. If SHTF then at least I'll sleep a tiny bit better. Lol

The bank bailout was only ~£500 billion and silver value went to around $50/oz. Who knows what could happen after trillions were added to the money supply recently. Gold is a solid option but I haven't explored it a whole lot yet.

[@geoffreyburks4463]

Well reasoned, I follow your logic. Trained as a scientist, so it's hard to buy alot of a "luxury" metal instead of a "useful" metal. Love new tech, so planning to get all sizes of the laser etched gold Britannias.

[@BackyardBullion]

Thanks, glad to hear your thoughts. Those new. Britannias are absolutely stunning!

[@cscratchy5126]

Totally agree, I came in around £18 to £19 pr ounce, I have paid near £30 for the odd coin, not for bullion but numismatic. Fortunately, where I am, I can still get silver coins for £25 ish VAT free delivered. I'd stop too if the avg price was hitting £30 I'm still in to gold too. My belief is that it would be easier to liquidate the sam monetary value of gold than silver in a pinch.

I only began stacking in January here in the States. I just finished my 2021 tube of ASEs and am 3-4 oz. away from finishing each of my "International" tubes: Brits, Krugs, and Maples. Once those are completed in mid-to-late June, I'll shift gears more aggressively to gold. (Currently have 185 oz. of silver and 2.5 oz. of fractional gold). Much common sense stated here! Thanks!

"Interest rate goes up, Gold & Silver prices go down." That's the narrative they want us to believe.

[@BackyardBullion]

It's verifiable fact, but sure OK

[@philhubb5885]

The question is do interest rates go up because the Fed is front running inflation, which would be bearish for PM's. Or will interest rates chase inflation, which would be more bullish. I don't think interest rates will rise meaningfully until the inflation cat is well out of the bag. So I'm still bullish at these prices.

[@silverbeancounter]

Can't argue. I've too been buying more gold. Only silver I'm buying are things I'm collecting. At least it can't go to zero and will probably continue to run.

[@silvermoneyphoenix1624]

I haven't baught any regular "new" bullion in almost a year either. I've "replaced" some old items with new ones, for example sold lunar 2 coins and bought Una and the Lion bars, with some net difference left in my pocket. I might start selling my QBs and do the same with buying new limited mintage releases.

[@BackyardBullion]

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts

[@johnmorgan9731]

That's what I did, traded my 2x duplicate QB off for 1x 2010 toned ASE, x2 2021 Britannias, & x3 different Marvel coins! For what I paid, my cost average was $82 per coin. So I came out ahead. Find a good dealer willing to trade & check their references or just sell & buy.

[@emmanuelleano]

I'm new to buying silver and I've been buying all my silver for around 35 dollars and oz. I feel like I should have waited. What should I do with it? Sell it or keep it?

[@BackyardBullion]

I would say you should keep it if you can afford to hold it without needing the cash for 20 years or more, then you will be fine.

[@TheDutchMasterStacker]

That's a lot for an oz of silver, but I guess that's becoming the norm now.

[@Chrisinsocal]

Does gold have more liquidity than silver? I would have thought because if the price point it would have been the reverse?

[@BackyardBullion]

Gold has way more liquidity in a speedy sale situation. Bullion dealers will happily take gold at spot price, that's only a 2-3% swing on purchase prices. With silver it is also fast to sell, but again only at spot price and for us in the UK that can be a 40-50% swing. So speed of liquidity is the same, risk is way lower for gold.

[@Chrisinsocal]

@@BackyardBullion Great point! Yes I figured both would be very liquid but you brought up a very important point about the premium factor!

[@kigiphoto638]

I kind of agree with this, sadly I didn't start stacking much before this year but I did as much buying as I could earlier, and as the spot prices and premiums continue to jump I'm going to slow down my buying of solver now that I have a base I am comfortable with... I feel like each person needs to think about how much of a base they need and it may still make sense to keep buying until you reach that point, doing so by seeking bargains along the way... I don't see inflation rate increases driving silver/gold down much at all though. I've also been doing a mixture of bullion and high premium collectable items.

[@rodpanhard]

For over a year now I have only bought the odd individual silver coins to complete series I am collecting. I bought the bulk of my silver in 2015 - 2018 and it's a considerable amount so I don't feel the need to be buying at todays prices especially given the premiums and the 20% VAT brought in after Brexit. I wish the silver squeeze guys all the best and if the price rose dramatically I would be very happy as their argument and the fundimentals seem sound but nothing seems to follow fundimentals any more absolutely everything is manipulated to keep the plates spinning.

[@BackyardBullion]

Thanks for sharing my friend. The thing I am concerned about is that there are so many people who think they are going to become instant millionaires with silver, not the case and there will be a lot of people left holding expensive metals for decades and some of them will end up losing money.

[@rodpanhard]

@@BackyardBullion The only possible scenario I can see for silver to go to the kind of outragous prices that some are touting is if the financial system completely collapses and JP Morgan decides to recapititalize itself with it's massive silver holdings. We have seen with oil going negative that sometimes the disconnect between asset reality and the asset derivative beomes so great that it snaps and with silver it would be snapping in the other direction. I view silver as insurance more than a speculative asset and something tangible that I can hide outside any cashless system if that is ever brought in.

I feel buying 10oz bars is right on the money but can save on Premiums. Finishing up the Marvel series. Got 2 Spidermans on the way at the greatest deal available 1x raw & 1x red slabb NGC MS70 First Release! Just need the Black Panther to finish it up. Then it's fractional gold from here on out! Traded my 2 duplicates QB 2oz dragon & 2oz griffin out for 2x 2021 Britannias, 1x toned 2010 ASE, Mavel coins Hulk, Iron Man, & Thor. So 4oz out for 6oz! Price equals out fairly well, my buying cost average was low. My exit strategy is always the buying part as low as possible for high liquid coins & bars. I also was able to get a hold of one of the Awakening Infinity 5oz coins low mintage of only 2,000 for $202!

[@BrianHeimbuecher]

I've been using my silver to swap for gold. Like you, I'm tired of the high price of silver. I've been stacking it since 1989. Unlike gold, which has been steadily going up since 2015, actually since the 1990s, silver goes to $30, then back to $22. I went into overdrive buying silver early last summer; I just finished buying gold sub-$1800. In fact I slammed it at $1685. But now I'll wait for the inevitable pullback. With silver it's a given. And if push came to shove, I'm good with my gold stack. Next week I'll get the Una 100 oz. silver bar to complete the trifecta (I bought the 10 oz. silver and the 1 oz. gold when they were issued)... and yes, those low-number coins may get me to buy some silver. Rolling in wombats now...

[@greg6379]

I'm basically in agreement with you. I am not stacking at the moment, just buying lower premium gold every once in a while and collectible silver. On that note, I'll be trying to get my hands on a few of the 'CC' Morgans coming out tomorrow :)

[@panthiocodin864]

100% agree of what was said in this video even though I am gold stacker! I reckon myself buying silver low minted or trying to buy some particulare series with a higher premium is not a good choice either as with silver it is so much new stuff comming out all the time it is hard to say if in 20 years someone will bother to buy your piece no with higher price.
