beginner stacker

[Harryt4]

Hi everyone, I am interested in starting to stack silver with the hope of small gold pieces in the near future. 

I am still a teenager and wanting to start stacking now as a long term investment, I've seen 1oz coins etc on the royal mint but like people have said they have a premium, tax etc. 

I am really interested in learning more so any help would be massively appreciated, I have also scoured youtube for any information.

For my interested of stacking as a long term investment, say 2oz a month would you all say buying from dealers, second hand etc would be best or possibly buying from those websites, or also pouring my own silver bars as that does look very interesting.

But all advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Harry

edit: also curious in my case for wanting to stack, would coins or bars be better? or anything else I should look at getting over something else?

It is good that you are starting young I think everyone wishes they started buying earlier in life.

The best place to buy is on the for sale area on the forum you will find prices much lower than main dealers. If you want pure silver weight you can buy spotted or toned coins cheaper than shiny ones.

Pouring your own silver does look very interesting and you can buy casting grain often at a lower price than coins.

Harry, Welcome aboard The Silver Forum!

Well done Harry. You are years of wisdom beyond your age. 

You shall become a Jedi of the youth.

For you will have a hedge against inflation, which many of your and older generations do not.

Stacking early is cool and helping yourself.

Knowing the difference between real sound money and paper money is a good start.

I've got my son into stacking also and he's only 11.

Last of all welcome to the forum.

Welcome, don't forget some gold too. When I was a teenager, sovereigns were about £50, how I wish I had brought a few!

Hi mate wise choice. Just take your time, spend some time looking in the various dealers websites at what items cost what but also here on the forum listings. See what sells quick and what maybe takes longer to get a feel.
