Top 3 Types of CHEAP Silver to AVOID When Stacking

In this video I talk about the top 3 types of cheap silver that you should avoid when silver stacking. When you star silver stacking it is important that you try to buy silver for the lowest dollar amount possible with a few exceptions. I go over the 3 worst types of silver for stacking and also the best type of silver for stacking. Any silver that is priced under spot online is probably fake silver and should be avoided. Silver that is less than 90% pure should be avoided. Large silver bars should be avoided when you start silver stacking. The best silver is 1 oz silver coins and 1 oz silver rounds. I think that larger silver bars should be avoided until you have a large silver stack. There are many types of silver bullion and the worst type is clearly fake silver coins and fake silver bars. In this video I show a clip from a recent Harry's Coin Shop Video where this bullion dealer talks about the worst silver for stacking and here is that video:

1000 ASE's will cost more than a 1000oz bar though. But it allows you to sell small increments as you need the money, rather than all at once. The alternative is to buy something in between.

I was on the fence for years on war nickels. I never pulled the trigger on them. Then I watched that whole video with our friend Harry. He taught us the refiners don't like them because of the other 60% metals make it too much to bother with. So now I'm a no thanks on war nickels. As for the 100oz bars, that actually plays into my hand. A lot of my stack is actually a savings account. I'm really bad with money. If I have it, it will get spent. So my converting it to silver, I have that extra step to liquidate it. That gives me time to make sure it's something I really want to do. But 10oz bars is my go to as it meets both needs.

As you showed in the under-spot segment, just because it says 999 doesn't make it so.

This is how you can tell silver They have almost as much silver as a pre-64 dime as they weigh 5 grams vs. 2.5 grams for a dime, or 2.25 ounces (a bit over 1/20th ozt per coin) silver per 40 count roll. If you do not think silver will ever go over 50-60/ozt, then don't buy these. Otherwise they would make great change for purchases made with whole ounces.

I just made 20 grand profit on "1,000 oz" good delivery bars. I buy them from silver bullion in Singapore and store them there, because I diversify political risk of the US government. There is zero problems selling these bars back and they are what is in demand when you talk about industrial demand of silver. No industry wants your 1 oz rounds or coins or 1 oz bars for industrial use. So for the industrial demand component and for the low premium, they make a lot of sense, especially stored outside your country. But I'm not using these as a form of money and I have several thousand ounces in various forms. No, I wouldn't recommend starting with these until you had multiple thousands of ounces stacked up. I started with 1 oz bars and went to eagles and maple leafs stored in their legal tender country, but after that, the premium got stupid on those coins. I have 100 oz bars and I like kilos. The thousand oz bars i am not keeping long term. I sell them to take a profit and reduce the average cost of my total holdings and years of storage fees.

I still find Jefferson wartimes from time to time while roll hunting. A lot still in circulation. No need to buy them if you put in the effort.

[@PoorMansInvesting]

I don't even spend nickels. I save for the metal content. Don't think I've ever seen one in circulation. Most 90% I've gotten at face was when I delivered pizza, people digging out their old coins.

[@jjwatt5126]

I think large silver bars are amazing. Serious stackers should invest in a needle nose torch so you can melt off drops from the large silver bar and use the silver shot to barter with.

[@Userhfdryjjgddf]

I laugh hysterically when I hear people think they will barter with silver shot. Hahahhahahaha omg hilarious. Try proving your bb is silver to someone hahahahahaha in a barter situation. You could barely convince me its silver now and if bartering no one gonna have a machine to test. Plus we will never barter with silver ever again. George gammon of rebel capatalist show keeps going all thru central America to try to barter his way across with gold, silver and bitcoin. Basically he is S.O.L. sold gold at a major discount and barely could barter with silver. That being Saud I have over $400 face value of junk. But in no way do I think I'll barter much with it. Dollar bills will be king in that world. Especially if we lose power before dollar hyperinflates. Everyone will believe in a dollar bill.

[@XrpIambo]

You haven't thought things through or you're young. George couldn't sell them now. Besides, you're going to watch one guy go to Central America one time and then figure that you'll never ever use silver to barter ever again? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If I tried to barter with a giant trash bag of sandals, I won't get too far. They won't have the proper channels to offload the sandals and no one really cares. What happens when the price of sandals goes to 500 dollars a pair? I think they'll find a way to move them. I stacked back during the GFC. I made enough to buy a car and go to college. 2 degrees, no loans. Nobody knows exactly what's going to happen, so don't act like you do @Immigrationsituation

[@arthurfraner3957]

If you’re going to melt it , get some tongs a crucible & some graphite molds. Be easier to verify.

[@Userhfdryjjgddf]

@@XrpIambo I just seriously doubt we will ever barter with silver again. Look around at how stupid people are. My God half the country thinks a man can wake up and decide they are a woman. Most have no clue of silvers value. Unless dollar hyperinflates away. That will be the main choice of barter. If power goes out tomorrow for a long time. The dollar will be king. That being said I do have around $400 fv of junk but seriously doubt most will ever be able to barter. In my area lots of farmers and ranchers who know what silver is. With them I could today if wanted. But I think your avg person selling things you need won't have a clue. Maybe I'm wrong but I do know as bad as America is falling apart. I still don't want to see barter world.

[@JimCAScr]

I think 40% Halfs are fine as long as you get good deals and I agree it shouldn't be your main silver. I think one of the best deals can be buying 90% in complete or partial sets where you can sometimes buy at the same per coins price as common dates, but get some slightly better dates/condition coins.

[@CloudwalkerDrones]

such a bad know it all kinda vibe to this ... (1) you can definitely get real silver under spot (2) under 90% is absolutely gonna barter in a SHTF scenario (3) you diss war nickels saying they look like every other nickel ... um ever seen a post 64 rosie dime? or wash quarters? jfc

[@cardaveux]

US junk silver is expensive but 835 swiss junk silver i get sometimes for 70 cents (Rappen in german ) or less for 1 gram of fine silver. So i can get for around 20 swiss francs more or less 1 ounce of fine silver in 835 swiss junk silver coins.

[@JL-kv2le]

Good to know Silver Dragons! I wish I would have found your channel earlier, but glad to be learning from you now! 😊

[@Aletaire]

I disagree with disregarding 80%, but that's where I'd draw the line. Also Canadian dollars have *very* low mintages if you get ahold of some earlier dates. If someone who doesn't like 80% wants to sell it for melt just to move it, you might find something with a hefty premium!!

[@randywhelchel4674]

No 100 OZ bars? No one can afford them? Using they logic one would. EVER buy a 1 OZ of gold AND just forget EVER getting a 5 Oz or bigger bet Harry has a few …. Or did I miss something?? 🤔🤔

[@stardust949]

I have a few of the 40% coins, but more for numismatic interest. Kennedy half-dollars and some Ikes, too. My hoped for plan is I won't have to barter or liquidate and will be passing along my whole stack to my 3 sons when I pass. Won't they be surprised?! No one in my family knows about my silver....secret stack!

[@Velcro_Ninja]

Was the winner of the last giveaway announced? I can’t find that episode.

[@mrbiglicks8267]

Yes

[@ReflectiveMetal]

I started stacking in the early 90s and I have over 700 40% Kennedy half dollars that I’ve accumulated between the early and mid-90s. I would go to my local bank and get $50 worth here and there took out the 40% and spent the rest as regular cash so it literally cost me nothing to accumulate all of that silver. That’s the best way to get silver is when it costs you nothing except a little bit of time and energy. Back then the spot price of silver was hovering around $5 an ounce. So, if silver ever does go to $50 or more, then 60% of that won’t be so bad. My local refinery is paying 80% of spot on those 40%ers.

[@vincentyeo88]

Excellent! Well done!

[@glockumollie1230]

You have real silver, 103 ounces wich VERMILLION IN FLORIDA WILL GIVE YOU SPOT -- MINUS $2.00 AN OUNCE WHICH PENCILS OUT TO $2898.00. THAT IS REAL MONEY BUD. ACTUALLY THE SILVER IS WORTH MORE BUT THIS GUY GIVES A SOLID OFFER MUCH MORE THAN MOST. IF YOU HOLD ON TO IT TILL SILVER HITS THE MOON AND IT WILL YOU WILL DO EVEN BETTER. PEOPLE ARE SELLING THESE EVERY DAY FROM $4.50-$6.00 EACH NOW ON E-BAY AND AMAZON SO WHATEVER YOU DO YOU'RE IN GOOD SHAPE. DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENT. GREAT JOB FRIEND!

[@Stacked_high]

what are those last three silver bars you were holding at the end of your amazing video?

[@The_Argent]

For anything you're planning to barter with, definitely stay away from anything "cheap" that doesn't come from a widely recognized source like small batch or home pours. Anyone can melt some mix of metal down and stamp numbers and letters on it. Stick to professional mints.

[@Bobbydazzlla]

I started stacking about 15 months ago after my brother showed me the 1kg silver bars he bought. After watching this channel and BGM on KZbin I've been fortunate enough to convert the some cash a stocks in my Superannuation portfolio. The increases in that time has already made it a very profitable move. And at the end of the day I look at it as a great way to hedge my Super for the crash I think is coming in the next couple of years. If it's certified 99.99 we can trade any amount here under the tax office radar. No declaration, no capital gains, cash in hand every time.

[@TheTigerStacker]

SD, I have stacked HARD in the 3 years I have been awake. I have made videos on this and most Recently with Local Silver Mint. Please see that video. I had no experience with metals initially but I knew I needed to barter/trade. I bought small fractional. I also followed some of your earlier videos suggesting getting 40% and 35% silver. They are not a big part but if I need to buy smaller priced items in SHTF, I have them (basically a guard house box of each - that's it). I am trying to get 4 family members out of Ukraine. So I am back to another guardhouse box of 90% dimes. PLUS 999 1/10 ounce incase to buy food etc. Slowly I bought bigger and bigger silver. I did buy ONE 100 oz bar at $2450 but sold it later at $3150 and bought 1 oz gold buffalo and $1000 fiat of 90%dimes. My advise, buy fractional first to build up your small buying power and when you think you have enough, get bigger for bigger purchases. Same with Gold.

[@robertrigbyjr5031]

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

I disagree about not buying 40%. Your goal isn't to use silver for your kid's college fund or even the bulk of your retirement. The real goal is to protect against a currency reset. At that point in time, the cost of refining your silver will be negligible to the value of silver. So, your goal is to buy as many ounces of actual silver as possible. And thus the lower the premium the better.

[@Ambassador_Gkar]

All those fake Ag rounds were obviously not real. Maybe some of those eBay's buyers were also channels deliberately purchasing for educational purposes. In New Zealand, old silver currency, like half-crowns, was only 50% Ag, SD. That changed in ~1945AD, to a Cu-Ni composition. Luckily, my junk was not bought; it was handed down, to me.

[@michaelbuckley6710]

I've been collecting early .720, .800 Mexican Silver coins, not really stacking them per say. But I am developing a nice stack of coins. Plus just bought some 90% junk silver dimes, quarter's and halfs.

[@coryhilleboe6938]

Correction silver dragons it is still as liquid it's just not everyone has $3,000 to afford a f****** hundred ounce bar and not everyone's going to come into a local coin shop and buy 100 oz bar harder to sell harder to buy
