Hello I'm Paul and I'm fairly new to silver stacking, that said I did buy four silver santa rounds back in the early 90s, little did I know a seed had been sown lol.

The Basically Biased Corporation? 

Nah, never go on there. It's all woke, leftard, socialist propaganda

Time to start stacking tin foil, those hats are going to be very popular.

PR basics, don't give an answer, give a time when you will give an answer. Might forget or something more important come along. Works for project estimation at work as well. Don't say how long it will take, say when you will know how long it will take.

I have been building a collection of half sovereigns for many years now. A significant coin that I have always had an eye out for is a 1918-P. Marsh has this as an R3 with a ‘not known’ mintage figure, but the experts estimates are set at around 250. PCGS also notes the mintage as 250.
So to find one in mint state in an old antique shop at a good price was, I think, a once in a lifetime event. In fairness, I explained to the shop owner that their price was ridiculous and talked through what I would be willing to pay. I had to sell bullion to cover the costs but in the end the shop owner and I were happy. For me karma is important and part of buying and selling coins is honesty and integrity.
To get the grade back as MS64 was a significant moment for me. Especially as I had only recently bought a NGC example in MS63 that I had been planning on sending for cross over. No need now!
The coin arrived yesterday via FedEx and I am overjoyed to have this join the collection. 
 

So basically we're allowed to run silent auctions on the forum now. Sorry lads,but nobody should be making an offer,if op can't be bothered to name a price,then sales post should be closed.

Recent US debt of near $35 trillion will at a typical average real rate of 6%/year increase, in ten years time will be 1.06^10 = 1.79 times larger in real terms, stand at more than $62 trillion. As in another ten years on from that it might stand at $112 trillion. Equally however it possibly stood at a 1 / 1.79 = 0.56 smaller level ten years earlier. Either way and tax revenues/spending etc. will be multiples times larger (smaller in backward looking direction).
In 1960 US debt was $286 billion, so has grown 122 fold in 63 years, at a 7.9% annualised nominal rate. Inflation over the same period around 2.7% annualised.
The US system puts a cap on debt expansion, so the government have to periodically go to congress to ask for the debt ceiling to be increased - as a backstop to prevent any one government over-doing it.
That wont fail (excepting some exceptional circumstances) even though it seems like debt is at highs and only growing at rates that some mistakenly belief will result in failure.

PR basics, don't give an answer, give a time when you will give an answer. Might forget or something more important come along. Works for project estimation at work as well. Don't say how long it will take, say when you will know how long it will take.

Sounds a bit Bipolar to me, if you two switch your name around it sounds better. BipolarHead & SovStacker love it gents

Don't worry, the image is safetly stored at Chards HQ and will be making a return at some point 🤣

We can confirm it is NOT blood, or nailpolish as suggested🤣 - It appears the coin that we took the image of, has some natural toning.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention @KleinerVogel !

That’s a bit morbid mate…reported 😁

Never do this with a proof coin ............. This works a total charm on silver bullion coins, it does not effect the XRF reading on a 999 silver coin, it will effect 958 silver as it does contain silver. 
For fun you can silver plate a 2p coin and it will read 4% silver on a XRF machine.

Makes any silver bullion coin no matter how bad look like new, there is a knack to getting this right as its very easy to get swirl marks on the coins if you are not careful. 
 
ALSO WEAR GLOVES!!!!!!! GET THIS ON YOUR SKIN AND ESPECIALLY FINGER NAILS AND IT WILL TAKE WEEKS TO GET THE STAINS OFF!

Hey there!! 
 
I am new to the Silver Forum but not new to Silver! As many of you may know if you are familiar with my YouTube channel (culture of currency), I am aiming to spread silver thought common love and think that this is the best way to bring people to metals. As you know there are many more themes and variations in bullion and that can be the best way to find a coin or series that is of common interest of your loved one you are trying to get into metals. 
 
My channel has some benefits of data points I thought would be VERY beneficial for this forum and hope to post here my findings in real time (quarterly). I am doing a study of spending $100 a month on generic silver and $100 a month on premium silver. I am tracking them each quarter and tracking all of the data points to see over time if there are disparities present so that individuals could see short and long term statistics as well as the strength of small amounts monthly!
 
I am so very excited each month to relay this data to the community....
 
I also have amassed over 130 unique bullion 1 0z coins from around the world where I track them on a 60 point scale to see if they are right for the viewer. It really seems that the higher the coins score on the scale, the higher they are in demand over time. (not all but many).
 
Anyway, I am very excited to be here and hope that I can offer a service to this great place. Below you will find a screen shot of my Q1 findings but if you want more details on my tracking or the other cell data, just let me know and I can relay that to you!

 

Hi all, new member here. I’m new to the world of precious metals and have started to buy the odd gold coin as a way to hold a bit of physical money that will hopefully rise in value. Looking forward to learning more on here 😁
