Ps I will buy silver bullion

I will, once they confirmed my order....... 

I would love to share my experience, but I am still waiting for their reply on whether they shipped my 2022 sovereign already.

Gold should look gold. Period.

#sherlockholmesmodeon

If you take a closer look to the word Gold and how it is used one can vaguely see that there is a hint in the name 'Gold' itself. 

For example a Gold coin is Gold colored. A golden sunrise is golden. In both examples the Gold suggest a colour, a golden colour.

Let's take a closer look at some colours: 

Going by the official colour code chart Gold is golden. Not a redish-goldish-ish colour.

Hi everyone. 

I've been a member for a while, although have mainly stuck to the bullion Facebook groups where I'm quite well known as Aidan Howard. 

Since I'm collecting a selling a few bits of my collection these days I figured i would see what the Silver forum has to offer as I've heard lots of good reviews. I've helped out one member by providing him with date of sovereign he required!

hopefully when I'm able to list a few things ill get to meet a few more of you! I collect 1/10ths and young head sovereigns mainly! 

out of interest how are photos posted on the forum? do i need to host them on photobucket or similar?

 

cheers!

aidan.

 

Welcome to the forum Aidan! Perhaps you can help me find a 1838 and a 1839 full sovereign

I just ventured on this silver stacking route just in case this country goes in to ape terrible. I tried to research but man it is so confusing.

My purpose is to gather as much silver to sell not to collect. I see a bunch of different prices on an ounce of silver with different decorations on it which confuses me on what to buy.  I plan to buy 1 ounce bars but idk what to choose. there is so many variations.

First of all: Welcome to the forum. 

Second of all: There is no short answer to your question.

And like @KevinFlynn mentiones; Think of a strategy first. One that fits your lifestyle and budget. Read up on the different alloys in silver (or perhaps just stack pure silver). Circulated silver coins can hold 90% or 80% silver, these coins are used and have marks but some can be bought for spot/melt. 

1 oz pure silver coins look pretty and are clean but will cary a premium and silver bars cary tax premiums. 

Also take in account that if your theory will become real that you will need a big weight of silver to cary with you. And how will you sell or trade the silver in large chunks? etc etc. 

Choose which silver fits your strategy best. 

And start with a strategy. And by reading large parts of this forum you will be able to create one.

Cheers!

Hi to the forum,

 

i'm new here, i found thanks a google search, i would like to do some silver staking, i managed to find 1 kg bar via my local bank, but i guess perhaps for a better re-selling option would be better smaller weight bars, even if i will pay more per gr/oz, anyone can suggest a reliable website in EU that i get buy them perhaps with free shipping? or if you have an other suggestion.

 

Thanks 

Welcome to the forum, you can find some real bargains on this forum. And not only for the UK market, also for the EU.

Thanks Jvw I'ts a great place and I'm slowly finding my way around.

 We could have sent theBrits back but decided to keep them for the novelty. There a bit crazy looking but from a reliable source lol. I have 25, be interesting to hear of any others out there. Correct size and weight. with a slight oval of less than a mil showing up on my calipers.  

I haven't seen any, but haven't been paying attention either

Been following the page for a year and buying slowly since the end of last year (both gold and silver UK coins).  Still a real beginner but enjoy reading others opinions on what to buy and why.  I hope to start buying on this site but am being  a little cautious as of now.  

So far 90% of my monthly purchases have been from "Bullion by Post", or auction sites - just because I am trying to be careful.

Obviously welcome any free advice and am reading lots of post trying to learn from those with more experience.

Welcome to the forum, use a premium account to get some good deals on this forum. 

Most sellers have excellent feedback and there is nothing to worry about buying on this forum.

*Newbie alert*

Evening everyone, greetings from Lincolnshire (the slightly less flat bit....yes, there is a less flat bit!)

Just starting getting interested in building up some silver, I've recently bought a couple of Britannia's and I think it's the beginning of a bug! 🙂

Initially I'm just wanting to start to build a portfolio with a view of holding it for the long term.

I'll apologise now for all the daft questions I will ask (although I will be checking if they've been asked before I ask)

Be gentle 🙂

Dave

Welcome Dave!

Idk if I needed to start a thread for this but here we are:). Just wanted to say I'm happy to be here and part of the community! Just started stacking/collecting this year. I had wanted to for awhile but I didn't know where to start. I finally just bought some. Then I watched a bunch of YouTube vids (BackyardBullion;) a little backwards I know, but once I had purchased some p.m. I really needed to know what I was getting myself into lol so glad I did! Anyhow, Hello everyone and I hope to be talking/learning about p.m. on here for a long time to come. Oh and maybe some trades, sales, or buys 😀

Welcome to the forum, and beware: Silver is a gateway-metal to gold

Hello from Singapore.

Was an occasional visitor and now a newly joined member!

My handle is send2georgie but most just refer to me as send or S2G.

I love collecting/stacking coins/precious metals and have been doing this for awhile now. However I have only recently started to expand out onto online forums, as well as online platforms like youtube. I am hoping to build new relationships with all in the precious metals collecting community.

There are some of you I have already gotten to know from our youtube channels, so hopefully this forum will be another channel to expand our interactions.

Thank-you for reading this message.

My love and respect to you all!

Just a quick hello, I've been collecting bullion coins for a few years on and off but only discovered this forum last night watching a video on YouTube. Looking forward to participating in this community.

Hello, I'm Paul, a guy in his 40's living in Belgium. A country that sucks most of the time except for precious metals. I came along this forum by watching the video's of BackyardBullion. I hope to start selling some of my silver coins I bought years and years ago because my future goals is to have a more standardized collection/ stack with only a few special pieces.

Hope to learn a lot on this forum.

Welcome to the forum Paul!

Hi All

Greetings from Wales, I'm a total beginner as far as collecting/stacking goes. For some reason I bought some small gold bars from Bullion by Post (probably not the best place to buy from!) a few weeks ago. I got a Pamp 1g and 5g, once they arrived I suddenly got the bug! I've now got a Nadir 1 oz silver bar, 2 x 2021 silver Britannia's a 2021 1 oz silver Krugerrand and a 2021 1 oz silver Panda. My Mrs thinks I've gone a bit nuts lol. I haven't really got a clue what I'm doing so joined this forum in the hopes of learning how to collect and stack properly without getting ripped off. I originally thought of it as an investment but really like the look of the coins I've got so wouldn't mind collecting too, but as I said I know f~*$ all! Any advice along the way would be gratefully received. Cheers

P.S Are proof coins/sets worth buying from an investment point of view or are they just for collectors who like them?

Welcome aboard! 

I prefere coins over bars. Sign up as a paid member and you can find some real deals in the for sale section. I collect bullion mostly (sovs!) But I also buy my occasionally (Reverse) Proof Libertad.

Hi forum members. I've had an interest in numismatic coins and precious metals (mainly antique silver) for many years. Buying from jumbles, car boot sales, junk shops when i could, then from ebay when it came along. 

I have been into bullion stacking since about 2014 because I liked the idea of owning some of the .999 silver content Britannia's ready for a "sure thing" mega return after the horrendous price plummet of the time (having been unaware of their existence in 2013).

Still stacking So filling some of my time with some like minded people, and perhaps doing some trade or deals sometime in the future.

 Take a quick look at this new 2022 Brit. that escaped R.M. quality control. Great detailed strike but Its so off center struck it has completely ruined the milled edge. I know that its only bullion but Its practically an error/reject. If I didn't know what I was looking at I would think it to be a bit iffy. Hope they get their act together soon.

  Thank you for letting me join,

 Much love, F.

Welcome to the forum! And interesting error for sure!!
