Are overseas YouTube Stackers relevant in the UK?

[DrDave]

I love a bit of YouTube Stacking. My first introduction was with our very own @BackyardBullion, so thank you 👍

Lots of the recommended videos are from Canada and the US, but i can't help wondering how useful or relevant the info/advice that they offer is for UK stackers?

Their premiums seem way lower than ours so surely that'll influence their buying patterns and strategy.

So should we just watch them to pass the time, keep up with the trends, see what's new and LOL when they tell us that they can buy Maples at $2 over spot???

Yes, basically you have given yourself an excellent answer 🤣🤣

I watch for entertainment and actually find the lower premiums no distraction, fairly easy to upgrade them to UK levels in my head. It has given me a better understanding of US constitutional silver so that's a win .

I started to find them boring as in the end there is only so much you can say, and eventually all they keep repeating is the same mantra, buy buy buy, I do watch the odd video, mostly when it comes down to the history of coins and especially with circulation coins, any other video I gladly give it a miss.

It does pain me to have some of them complaining about premiums whilst unboxing more silver than I could afford in 2 years.

FYI Pawn stars on YouTube has a few great shorts of coins

Did silver stacking ever reach Instagram and tick tock? 

I watch the occasional one when they talk about their personal collection but that's about it. Oh I do like the 21 guy, he is pretty good if he doesn't do political or predictions
