Should You Buy Silver Bars or Coins? (My silver dealer weighs in too!)

Lost of fake silver coming out of china we need to cut out china.

Only gold

How do you keep your rounds shiny

American bullion silver coins are worth more in my opinion since the gold American coins are not 999 24k. I find it strange. Of course gold is more but not as much as it should be

Yep I sold my rounds 20 cents under spot. I was like "whatever" and just sold 5 of them. When it comes to bars I usually going for weight. I want a kilo bar just to have. I have some of the 5 oz bars.

What about government issued bars? UK and Canadian?

Can someone tell me what that scene was that he showed where the guy was stacking silver under the floor? I've seen the movie but I can't remember it for the life of me

Kilo bar vs 1 oz coins is not an even comparison. I usually get 10oz bars or the government issued coins but I’ve got a variety. 2 years after your video and the crisis seems closer than ever. Keep stacking but make it a part of your portfolio. If cash becomes useless your gold and silver will be worth multiple times more. If the US dollar holds enough of its value to remain relevant then your 401k will vastly outperform your precious metals

I just traded in my bars for Silver Eagles. I might do the same with my bullion grounds. In a hyperinflation situation we might actually be using silver and gold to barter for necessities. Somehow I think that the US silver Eagles would be ideal in such situations.

Any investor must have a silver bar for sure, not for premium or as an investment but as a personal satisfaction :))) then all in on coins. This is how personally I got my stalking, lots of silver maple coins and i got one 250g silver bar only to actually enjoy it haha

Have you ever heard of a precious metal verifier? Don't you know that coins are faked more than bars? LOL

What’s your thoughts about government 10 oz bars from UK or Canada?

I love my 100 oz Royal Canadian Mint bar

What about Royal Mint bars Yankee? 🤔

Eagles take twice the space than bars

Neither, buy property

I’ve got super varied thoughts about this. I totally understand the advantages of having sovereign backed silver, which is easily recognized and holds a little bit of the premium value, but the fact that buying bars have way lower premiums and we get more weight for less money makes it really appealing to me as well. I don’t plan on selling my stack anytime soon either, so I just stack both.

A bar is non government montée amount of silver… what about the Canadian mint silver bars.

I just started stacking a couple months ago and i got 2 kilo bars a couple 10 oz bars and a bunch of rounds 👌🏽 nothing like holding real money sound miney in ur hand

You have a lot to say, and you're doing a great job. It seems to me that you could say twice as much in half the time, though. Have you considered Canadian 10 oz silver bars from their Royal Mint?

Extremely new to this stuff, tbh I started collecting copper pennies and now I'm down this rabbit hole 😅. I was on the us mint website and was going to buy some silver coins. I take it the premium you are talking about is one silver dollar was 75$. Is that the premium you are talking about compared to the current market for silver being 25$ a oz?

Stack bars

Never liked coins. Sure it's worth a lot but from across the room it looks like less than a dollar. A stack of bars on the other hand is universally accepted as valuable treasure. You need a coin expert to judge and grade silver coins but grab anyone from any corner of the globe and show them a stack of bars and they instantly recognize it as a lot of money. Sure I know what stuff is worth but I don't want my grandkids making the mistake of thinking a $30 coin is worth $5 face value. Can't make that mistake with bars as there's no face value and there's no grading or condition to maintain.

Spot price???
"Spot price ", is to silver whats equivalent, to
Mickey Mouse, is to role model!!

A 25. 30 thousand dollars chunk of metal. No I don't have 😂

Can you use the sigma on that bar? I have the original. I don't have bars either but it would be fun to have one or two or??

I think you should try the 100 oz bars. You’ll like it! Makes a man feel like a man should.

I love all forms of silver but it has to be a sealed and serialized bar if I get it

The 10 oz bars make sence and aren't too. expensive . you can liquidate them. for 290. or so.

Thank you!

Yankee I'm sure when they collapse the "old currency" system, you won't be spending mercury dimes under some reset. The cabul behind destroying our financial system to get from here (where we are) to there (where they are taking us) use A.I. There is nothing you've thought of that they haven't planned for.

I have 20 kilos of gold and 80 kilos silver.. it’s in my secret room and the theme it’s pirate of the caribbean inside many different treasures chest….

My question is now it’s difficult to find a silver eagle for less than $40 today. Spot price is $23 for silver, so if you get a little over spot for your silver bullion how is it worth it to pay a 40+% premium on silver when bars you’re only paying between a 15-20% price above spot? It seems like a ridiculous mark up when it seems the only real value is having coins during a SHTF scenario. In any other scenario bars seem to be a better investment. Outside of a SHTF scenario tell me why I’m wrong?

There’s no liquidity issue in Aus, 1kgs are common the trade regularly, I don’t see many ounce rounds here more bars

I’m thinking in a SHTF scenario that bar would be useful for like clobbering somebody if it became necessary.

Así if the bar is stamped from a mint does it change

XRF the Silver Bar

Find out the composition

an earlier engelhard . second purchase . started stacking thanks to you !

you lost me at currency reset, which i think is on its way xD

If you are just starting and strapped for cash and trying to get some silver accumulated buying generic is the best buy lowest premiums. Then if you get extra money maybe go for the silver eagles or other coins but the main thing is to get as much as you can in a short time

Really bad advice. Gold and silver are about purity and weight. Period. Anything more is being a numismatists. No smart stacker will pay 50% premiums for coins when they can buy rounds for 15% premium. And if shtf and the government collapses, NOBODY is going to trust a government backed coin anymore than rounds. Pure silver and gold are about weight. Period.

The army can call the bars in to be used the coins they can't they stay for collection only

Coin costs more premium, if only for selling bullion I suggest to go with bar unless collection coins

Coins > all.

Non minted coins i like a lot i think you more bang for your buck because the premiums are much lower than the minted coins and their are alot of non minted coins to choose from 😊

i just saw a different video that said the complete opposite to you.....

I just found this video and I stack nothing but bars. But mine are all hallmarked.
And currently Venezuela shaves silver to pay for groceries. So it's just another form of payment. Besides if you need some high ticket item or repair done . One of those bars will be easier to trade instead of say a bag of coins or even the 1 oz bars..now don't get me wrong I inherited my dad's coins but I passion has been to stack bars in different oz bars so I can make barters as needed.
