Most investment vehicles have their day. Get in at the right time and you will make a decent to significant amount. Get in at the wrong time and the opposite applies. Most hard assets will go up big in fiat terms b/c fiat is going to hell in a handcart. Silver has appreciated a good deal in the last year. Silver is an undervalued asset relative to many. There is great potential. i had so much silver my boat sank and it was all lost in that tragic boating accident. If that calamity had not happened i would have made a packet. In addition i held almost as much in mining shares - gold, silver and uranium. i expect i will make up in those.

It very much depends on what form the silver takes as to what it is potentially worth. You might actually be better off selling the silver and then buying your gold with the cash. Swaps are not that popular on the forum and you are likely to be confronted by chancers who want your silver for peanuts.

Those manic eyes of the silver shill himself Jeff Christian. 😂😂 Just keep the squeeze coming lads.

The #silversqueeze is working. US Mint admits there is a silver shortage. Blaming bots for them receiving so much web traffic - the bots are ordering silver coins!

Vintage bars. Don't clean them. They are fine. If i were you i would be cracking open the piggy bank for those babies.

i was once asked to write a presentation on what the value of silver was. i spent quite a long time thinking about this and decided there was no clear answer. As a matter of fact the precious metal markets are heavily manipulated. Gold and silver are real money and so rivals to fiat. The trading houses are given a free rein to pursue many market antics, protected by the regulators and central banks. Some of the large banks like JP Morgan act for the Fed and so are acting for the Exchange Stabilisation Fund. In these circumstances we do not know what the fair price is of precious metals b/c true price discovery doesn't happen and people use the spot price as a guide when the spot price is in reality a paper price which is rigged. There are many factors which lead some people to believe precious metals will appreciate due to inflation and in real terms. Andrew Maguire has for some time stated the changes flowing for Basel III will result in a revaluation of gold. Not many agreed in the beginning but more are agreeing now. Gold and silver are linked - they are both real money. The Wall Street Silver movement is actually having an effect and is going from strength to strength. A lot of focus is given to Sprott PSLV - the PSLV is now taking 50% of the investment physical silver. It has more silver than the registered silver in the COMEX. There are many demands for silver for 'Green energy' and general electronics. This is not going to go away any time soon. The value of silver is whatever someone is willing to sell for and someone else is willing to pay them. Silver is a longer term investment - first know where you would sell the silver and what it would cost you to sell. You might ultimately feel it is most cost effective to buy PSLV (remember the P - this is not the scammy ETF called SLV). As i say silver is worth what someone will pay you. A dealer will pay bottom book price. So know a community you can sell easily and at a fair price. Then if you pay a fair price in the first place you will profit from price appreciation. In the USA, the American Eagle is the most popular coin. With the high demand for physical, the ASE has gone up a lot. You can sell ASE's all day long in the States - they are expensive but they should be easy to sell. Like for example gold sovereigns are easy to sell on The Silver Forum with most of the members being in the UK. Best value generally comes for larger bars. Having a mix of Constitutional silver, silver rounds, basic mint coins and bars is a good idea. Get involved in a community where silver is being traded and go for basic silver. Nothing fancy. You might get stuff that is fancy but only as you get more experienced. Some of the more expensive items i have bought in the past have doubled and more but you need to know what you are doing and until you do get basic silver. Remember it is a longer term investment - YEARS and you should find outlets where you can sell - which generally means not direct to dealers. Be careful of ebay.

My 2021 forum bars also arrived. Many thanks @BackyardBullion

Super handmade silver set - thanks to @GavinDevon - you made the right decision to sell to the pirate.

i suspect he won't be back - you scared him off Roy. He didn't expect Roy and an army of shirt lifters.

Wall Street Silver going for the jugular.

i went and posted the same video - a good video showing the Silver Squeeze lives.

Nice objective interview covering the silver squeeze. and a Getaway Car.

The forum would be a good place to put the coins / rounds up for sale. It won't cost you anything to advertise and general payment is by bank transfer or paypal F&F. Your only issue is you have no trading reputation. i would put the bits and pieces you have up for sale in the trading section. Show photos and put a paper with username and current date visible. This way buyers know you have got the goods. See what happens. It is sometimes suggested that if a new seller is willing to send the items before payment then the lack of a trading history doesn't matter. If you deal with a well established member then you will not be diddled and feed back for a well recognised name on the forum helps your reputation and then other members will be happy to trade.

This is quite possible now the gold and silver have been digitised and are spendable with a card - Glint and Kinesis are examples.

Well i can't disagree with that. Palladium rocketed in price b/c there was a real life short squeeze. Palladium is a very small market. There was all the business with diesel engines and VW and platinum exhausts a few years back. There was a switch to palladium and a physical shortage developed. Paper cannot paper over this sort of situation. Price exploded and is still climbing. Platinum is another small market. A concerted effort would blow it up. Now whether this would feed back into the monetary metals is another matter. i suspect it could be contained. Blow up the silver market and you blow up gold. They are both monetary metals. Blow up gold and Houston we have a problem in Fiat land.

Kinesis is based on the Allocated Bullion Exchange https://abx.com/ with vaults in 7 locations around the world. The metal is audited. The last one was gone over on the (Kinesis) Ambassadors' thread in Telegram and it matched to the ounce - it think there was a fraction too much silver in fact. The system is still developing. i expect the on boarding of fiat will get quicker and easier. i expect some of the transaction fees will drop. Another member investigated buying a couple of KVT's from Jim Forsythe who is selling discounted KVT's to spread them amongst a wider base. Jim wanted paying in KAU's (gold) and this member felt that transactions costs were too high - he was told it would cost him $25 to do the 3 transactions for 2 KVT's. i presume he didn't follow through. This isn't free banking and never will be. However as far as the metal being there i am as sure as i can be it is.

Authority is a guide and a resource when it is not forced. There is no need for control when acts are made with freewill. Force comes in when authority is there to make people do that which they would not do by nature. The more unnatural, the more force is needed. This is why there is so much force and propaganda during the scamdemic. The scamdemic is an abomination. There is nothing right about it but it pretends it is for our own good. This is why the Left acts through force b/c what they press for is unnatural - against God as many might see it. Political correctness was introduced as being about helping us be nice to each other, showing respect. It was never about that, it is nothing to do with that - it is about mind control. i concluded that when i was a teenager in the 1970's. Authoritarianism acts through lies and when they doesn't work, in comes brute force and aggression. It is there staring me in the face but so many just don't see it, they become its little helpers bringing on their own enslavement and destruction. So i am against authoritarianism - against the Left - it is unnatural, it attempts to destroy that which is natural and wholesome. It replaces that with perversion and repression.

The further to the right of the political spectrum you go, the less authoritarian it gets. The further to the left of the political spectrum you go, the more authoritarian it gets. i am anti-authoritarian - authority always seems to end up in the wrong hands and gets abused - we end up with control systems like the scamdemic. By observation and inclination i am very anti-authoritarian; i am far right. You don't want anyone telling you what to do - so you sound right-wing. Perhaps you are in the right place.

You have said that i have a political agenda - i take it i am posting propaganda. We can't know what is in each other's minds. For sure if you were to read all my posts you would see i am hard right by the true definition. i am something of an anarchist. i am anti the cesspit Leftist, woke traitorous perverts that are running riot and sham government fronting up the control system we have right now. i expect if you were to quiz most of The Silver Forum's members you would find the majority are something like me - perhaps not always as 'extreme' but very much in that direction. i am often getting messages from 'watchers'. There are many come to The Silver Forum for a bit a relaxation and precious metal chat. i also expect there are a good number watch these threads but don't want to get involved. i think a number of members just haven't got what #silversqueeze is about. They see ulterior motives and manipulators - when it is just getting old and new silverbugs to join in a big group and buy bits of silver with a common goal of getting a bit of silver and maybe breaking the precious metal cartel.

As i say i believe John Adams is doing a good job by bring the scam of unallocated precious metal vaulting to a much wider audience. i have posted about this for a few years on the forum. That eventually the suppression of the precious metal markets through paper metal will blow up once enough people realise the scam and take action. John Adams is part of #silversqueeze by doing just that. If he is getting some profit out of it - then good luck to him - we all have to earn to live - his message is true and needs to be heard. If exposing the unallocated vaulting scam as a scam is his agenda then i support him. i would say the way he went at Peter Schiff for selling unallocated Perth Mint holdings was a bit OTT. It felt too personal to my liking but otherwise i don't see what he has done wrong. Perth Mint was backstopping the COMEX with metal during the early days of the silver squeeze - this is why they ran dry. The Perth Mint said they have a ton of silver - as i remember 60 tonnes but when it came to delivery customers silver the cupboard was bare. They put out videos showing lots on silver but on close inspection those with eagle eyes spotted these videos were years old. They didn't have the silver and tried to hoodwink the public. If i had an employee going on a crusade albeit i supported what was said and he was running into legal expenses i am not sure i would be at the front of the queue to pay for this. If any money raised is spent on legal expenses there is no con. Highlighting the wrongdoing on Perth Mint is not a con. If he is constantly exposing the truth of a situation this is not a con. It is troublesome to those he is attacking but it doesn't mean Adams is wrong. Bullion dealers play a very small role in Wall Street Silver - #silversqueeze. It is dominated by private people. This is truly a grassroots movement.

Yep i see the large quote on the previous page. i don't see a con there at all. Who is saying it is a con? The first time i heard John Adams speak he was presented as the Chief Economist for Good as Gold - bullion dealer. He spoke openly about being contacted by clients of Perth Mint who could not get their silver delivered - it wasn't vaulted and available to deliver - plus the Perth Mint eventually supplying Chinese bars when clients expected Perth Mint bars from the Perth Mint. Once he started talking about this he says he received calls / emails from many others. He openly said he had (presumably through Good as Gold) supplied ex-clients of these mints / bullion houses with metal. Who is he affiliated with other than Good as Gold? What connections is he hiding? Again i do not see where the con lies. This sounds like it is probably mud slinging by certain parties who are covered in mud thenselves.

Ok i find it here: In the past month, the Australian Border Force (i.e. Australia’s customs service) has made importing physical gold & silver EXTREMELY DIFFICULT over fears of tax evasion scams. Multiple Australian refiners & bullion dealerships have been impacted by MAJOR DELAYS. These delays have impacted bullion dealerships such as As Good As Gold Australia. Fortunately, it appears that some breakthroughs have been achieved in the past 7 days which will assist in meeting the demand of the Australian market. i don't see anything here other than a statement that multiple bullion dealers have been having issues with getting supplies, with Australian customs being a reason. i don't see anything that would suggest Good as Gold or John Adams is running a con. Indeed quite the opposite - he is being upfront and broadcasting issues in the retail bullion market. Kitco have come at Adams with a 'cease and desist'. Adams has claimed a number of notable dealers / mints did not have bullion when their unallocated clients asked for their metal. He has published exerts from many individuals who he says have been in contact with him. That a mint / bullion dealer doesn't have the metal is an issue. It highlights the issue of unallocated bullion which has resulted in price suppression within the metals market. Metal created out of thin air, inflating the apparent amount of metal and so controlling / suppressing price. Adams has done a good job here. For many years there has been a scam by bullion banks where they took the money but never bought / vaulted the metal. i forget which bank got sued over vaulting and insurance fees they were charging when there was never any metal. It doesn't surprise me that someone started lobbing legal paperwork his way. This is a usual tactic in an attempt to get someone to stop broadcasting something you don't want people to know. Let's see what happens - my hunch is Kitco will make noise and then shut up - if they went to court it could lead to full disclosure and they might not want to disclose certain pieces of information.
