Those look like they need to be in my collection. Gotta keep it fun some times.....................

That is one good looking piece. I am personally fond of the carded bars, however, the amount of fakes around these days.....really has me spooked. Not because I wouldn't get the bar from a reputable source and would be tested. But if I had to sell it for any number of reasons, they would most likely have to take it out of the card stock to verify it. Kinda sucks that you would have to ruin the packaging.

Agreed!

My absolute favorite coin to stack is the Britannia. US Mint doesn't do it for me.. Personally the milk spots don't entirely kill the love for them, BUT, if only they could change a couple of things to mitigate it, they couldn't make enough for demand. I know, I know, silver is silver, stack for the weight, but "they so pretty" lol. What do you guys think, 2024 will be different, or more of the same?

Thank you! I am happy I stubbled onto this site. I was starting to think that I was the only one seeing this...... Everyone is just asleep at the wheel.

water, food, brass, and PM's.......... gunna give it one hella of a go!

Thank you for all the responses. Trying times ahead..........thats for sure!

awesome response! that's great! Did not think of it like that!

I think we just became friends.... HAHA. The gas statement was the EXACT then I was telling my friend about. Its really a sad state with what has happened to us since 1913 when the Federal Reserve was established by an unelected few and have been controlling the monetary supply thus control on a populous of people and we all go about our lives living in the matrix. I am proudly one of the 1% stacking devesting from the system. lol. Still have to participate in the madness, but I'm doing my part, teaching my kids the right way.

hey 365, enjoying your youtube videos. TY

Like if I buy a silver minted coin for $28 dollars and correlated its intrinsic value of the silver spot price, why do they continue to mint silver and gold with a legal tender amount of $2.00. Just seems like a weird thing to continue to do?

I appreciate that thoughtful response.....It is a fascinating time line on Nixon removing us from the gold standard to print into oblivion to pay for Vietnam. My question was more about how gold and silver mints play into today commerce. I dont think I posed the question correctly. BUT I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond with your comment!

Oh I get that part. I guess I did not phrase the question. Not sure how the UK works with government issued coins. I was having a discussion with a friend about government minted silver in gold in the US. I could bring a American gold or silver eagle into a store and 10 out of 10 people would not know what it was or at least the real value of these coins. Speaking only for myself and how I have grown up, I'm 42 btw, we have been conditioned to view legal tender as only "antiquated cash" and credit cards/debit cards. We are told that gold is not a form of currency. My question to him was, well if that is the narrative that is being pushed onto generations, then why is the US Mint making gold and silver coins.

Hello! fellow silver peeps. Had to find my group. Friends and family are still sleeping.

I had a related question. If gold and silver are generally represented to the public that it is not recognized as "money", why do government mints release gold and silver backed coins with monetary value? I tried to do a quick google search and came up with squat. Does anyone have an answer?
