SilverPirate007

Some world silvers also arrived this morning Would ordinarily be excited to receive these but was a tad overshadowed by the gold this morning 😂
Another 2.5 gulden this time with the seahorse privy mark- these really are some of the best looking (and biggest) world silvers out there.
Lovely Edward VII florin- one of the best British coin designs of the 20th century in my opinion.

I bought the 100 oz from them recently. They shipped it to me in Belgium in less then a week. Poland shouldn't be an issue.
Also resale value is higher and easier for 1 kg bars vs 30 kg bar.

I would stick to bairds to be honest

I know a Ugandan prince who needs to hedge some money apparently, maybe he can help? 😉
If you've got a bead on something with more information and are trying to gather up a group buy try starting a thread in the main silver section and see what comes by! If you could post links etc that would help out. 👌

Sure I was lucky to get a few kg from bairds at the sub 500 price. My wife thinks I’m nuts as I have converted around half my cash to silver and gold.

Just finished this 4.8 ozt polished silver bar

I toyed with the idea of 'scrap' silver/old non-numismatic coinage not so long ago, I bought one batch and gave up on the idea. My desire for more silver but equal desire not to pay big premiums (I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Baird mint bar but even those are £4-5 over spot) mean I'm looking again. I won't pay more than spot or possibly a % or two over because although I think silver spot will go up I also think the supply issue will resolve. At that point there may be a good chance .500/.720 only gets bought by hardcore stackers and dealers for a lower % of spot price. Still got loads of potential for increasing in value, but less so if you pay loads for it now. I'd be looking at 'converting' the scrap into nicer silver or gold later down the line so looking to maximise what I get out of it.
But that's just my thinking to protect my wallet, as it is easy to get carried away (at least I find it is...😁).

This is an American site but I use the same sort of tubes for my 'junk' and the USA coins are the same sort of size so fit ok

Good luck getting them for spot price I have paid over spot on Ebay but demand is getting hot.   I keep mine in a zip bag that came with one tranche I bought from Ebay.   I am in the UK so I am buying pre 1947 Crowns/half crowns, Florins/two shillings, shillings, sixpenses and threepences.  The rules I go by are:
1/ I look at the sellers feedback, it must be 100% positive, must have mainly dealt in silver and especially pre 1947
2/ I take a price I am aiming for and establish a target and divide it by the weight (grams).  I do not go over that price and my aim is always to average down my main price per gram.
e.g.  someone is selling 800g and the price is already up to £209 (including postage!) So 20900 / 800 =  26.125‬p per gram.  This is a no buy for me as my total stack of pre 1947 coins is at 24.5p per gram.
3/  If a coin seems expensive and says something like "rare" I look to see if there are other bidders for it.  If there are a few bidders for it then it gives me confidence that the coin is indeed worth the money.  In other words I don't have the knowledge and experience in coins as I do in guitars so I am relying on other peoples expertise.
4/  As soon as I buy I do the weight magnet and ping test and satisfaied with that then add that weight to my stack and work out the new average price per gram

Its mainly from the same guy, I make sure I weigh them and test them, dont know where else to get them from at spot price

I am a new stacker and still working towards my target of 200oz I am 2/3 there.  I did not anticipate that I would fall in love with pre1947 coins.  I thought I would have trouble resisting pretty coins like my painted eagles but I swiftly started stacking a lot of junk silver but not pre 1920, for some reason I love the pre 1947 over everything else.  Although I have started buying more tubes of coins got a few more orders in at Baird now that my 1kg bar has been delivered 🙂

All silver is worth stacking at spot in my lowly opinion. Junk silver most of all.

Arrived today. 1st in a series of 3 James Bond 2oz silver proof coins from The Royal Mint. Limited to 2,007.


If you look closely the Bond movie titles have been micro engraved into the '0'

It's amazing I love mine

I use the site using my phone and have activated the auto translate from German to English, it works just fine

Absolutely beautiful!

So today I received my recent order. The first ever purchase of silver to start my stacking adventure. Ordered this on Tuesday and got it today so pretty please with that. Just thought I would share them.

Royal Mint 2 x 1 KG Bars.
Nothing too exciting but lovely weight to these things and about the only bars that had stock recently!

They are nice. 🤑

Seeing a couple of Geiger bars sell recently the Forum I just brought mine out for fresh air.

 

Finally came in today after patiently waiting for 1 month:
