Great video It really does come down to individual reasons for buying (sell vs hold vs collect etc) and budget of course

So should I purchase 18 gold sovereign coins at £6,09220 for 13q80 grams of gold or should I purchase a 100 gram bar of gold and a 1 ounce gold bar for £602900 ?brI plan to keep hold of the purchase for the next ten yearsbrThanks if you can help in my dilemma
Comment from : @mgtowchampion7961

Nice video, lots of information, I love silver coins, they look fantastic and are a price that makes it easier to save I’d love to move into gold eventually, the tax on silver is my biggest gripe but what you gonna do
Comment from : @bala8oo

Looks impressive!!!! :-D :-D :-D
Comment from : @joeneighbour3750

That does a low premium mean? Is that a good thing? And if i wanna spent a 800$ on a 1 kilo of silver should i buy it in coins? Im in the middle east we dont have what you mentioned like the mint thing
Comment from : @arabianeyes

WOW
Comment from : @Corundum1974

Great video 👍 brHow easy is it to sell your silver? And how would you go about the process of selling it? Thanks
Comment from : @mikeywillspt8795

Buy whatever! But when selling, expect to get spot price! Yes SPOT price

Germania Mint seems to be a polish company, website does not even have an imprint
Comment from : @hardypotter8454

Just like you said, people fake bars all the time even poured silver Anyone can buy an assay kit and stamp on it
Comment from : @numanuma20

I love to buy what I love to look at! And if it has a low premium over spot, that's even better :) These can be privately minted rounds or bars, government coins, and everything in between My most favorite silver pieces to buy are the ones from small private mints that make the most beautiful and detailed pieces ever but come with higher premiums (for good reasons)brHowever, spot prices have a lot to do with what I am buying at the timebrFor example, when spot prices are really low I'll grab some of my fav Pandas, Kooks, other Perth Mint coins, some ASE'S, etcbrBut when spot is what it is now ($18 or so) I am usually stacking the average round or bar that has the best price at the time and I'll even grab some ASE's that are on sale

I’m 13 I’ve been stacking with all the money I save up and I have about 40oz of silver and some platinum and gold

Great subject BYB I think it's going to be a case of what an individual prefer's at the end of the day I personally myself like both coins and bars Especially Umicore and Scottsdale Bars Also the Queen's Beast variety and the Britannia coins

Please stop focus hunt Use 2 manual focus cameras or a real rapid focus camera (1/10 sec)
Comment from : @maxg8815

I like silver and gold eagles and hand poured bars of silver Those 3 make up 95 of my stack
Comment from : @CoinsAndCapsaicin

A comment from another site, this man had to sell his silver, his coins were easy, his 10oz bar was difficult to sell, sold for just under spot As for barsI keep them in small sizes, 10oz is kinda big
Comment from : @jenette16

Another great video I love the big silver bar
Comment from : @DKW-Biker

I did miss coinbars being discussed as EU alternative for low premium not VAT subjected weight stacking Eg the 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg and 15 kg Fiji Agor Heraeus coinbars
Comment from : @MrSDS8

Fun Fact: The US state of Utah has its own gold-backed legal tender called the Utah Goldback which are bills containing real gold albeit only usable in Utah and comes with a high premium I've just learned this, but found it interesting
Comment from : @EhurtAfy

Very interesting commentary I'm sticking to coins with my own very small collection -- just got my first gold, a 1/10 oz Maple Not much, but it is a beautiful coin and widely recognized here Now if only I could afford a full ounce maybe one day Thanks for the tips!
Comment from : @AK-lg8fj

Sooooto be clear, what is valuable? anything silver right? Sooo coins with numismatic value are more expensive/valuable because they are "known" to be genuine and therefore easier to sell vice a round with no COA, or with a COA, but who knows if that documentation is viable???brIn my opinion and I am a "GREEN" NOVICE, it seems that coins from a mint with a COA are more valuable because they are of known reputation as well as the numismatic value stamped on themRight?brJunk silver (quarters, dimes, etc-of the proper years) coins purchased seem to fulfill value of the metal as well as the numismatic value without a COA because people will have seen that coin all their lifebrI would think (again I'm way ignorant) having a big bar of gold or silver could be tested chemically for its purity Is that not true? If not how do manufactures determine the "999 pure" of what they are producing in gold/silver, coin/bar is correct?brPersonally, my interest in gold/silver is for tender should the economy plummet small silver coins, or gold coins for that matter, seem wiser to buy for this situation just because of the value of the metal Having a large bar of gold or silver being worth much money is not practical to buy a bushel of fruit or 3 pounds of meatbrI dont say my way is right! I am searching for the best way to have my metals be useful as the situation dictatesbrThe other thing I think about is the premium paid for metals when purchasing When things go bad, who knows what the premium will be to sell or trade using gold/silver because there will be a demand for it (greed)brWhat is your intention for buying precious metal? Is it to balance a portfolio, to admire, or put it to use to purchase food should things come to that?brThank you for your videos and views! They are thought provoking
Comment from : @davekri1662

Another excellent video sir!
Comment from : @gorillahd9247

If you see silver and gold you must buy it immediately and promptly send it to me for safe keeping
Comment from : @grants169

Bars are for BanksbrCoins are for CommonersbrUnless stamped by govt as money, liability increases

Thanks Backyard!
Comment from : @richardc488

I'm new to silver stacking (just ordered my first two 1oz silver bars yesterday!) but your channel is rather inspiring to watch, let alone mesmerizing with your pours I find myself curious however, have you ever considered creating your own coins rather than just rounds? While I know the difference is really just a matter of weight, I for one have been kind of curious about creating custom coin designs, perhaps based around fantasy settings or even inspired by real-world items (I've always loved the King John penny), but how would one go about doing that? Or is it something that private vendors/mints might consider doing?brbrKeep up the great work!
Comment from : @Danthar

90 gold gov mint coins 10 Pamp gold bars (1 ounce and 50g half and half) I like the look of Pamp but gov mint coins apparently is the conservative play🤔🤓👍
Comment from : @gerrykelly-zk6lf

BYB I dont know why but bars dont do anything for me ,brcoins on the other hand I need and want
Comment from : @markbass354

Coins both lol
Comment from : @womblestacker7993

Is that a two-headed eagle? 🦅🦅 I like the germania designs but not the premiums, too high for a round, I’d feel guilty trying to play catch up on the 2019 releases
Comment from : @esurfrider7687

I like the 1oz coin bars (dragons) I stick with coins and waiting for Brexit to see how it affects my ability to buy any more
Comment from : @hairymotter5455

I like it all Not picky when it comes to silver
Comment from : @HodgepodgewithAngela

Aside from plated tableware etc and carded coins I stack it all Love the stuff !
Comment from : @TomokosEnterprize

I miss your guitar intro 😢brbrYour explanations are really important Especially in Europe a lot of PM dealers, coin shops etc do not buy silver rounds or bars if they are not hallmarked 👍brbrWhen can we expect your next poured rounds and bars? I am waiting for the 2020s! 😉
Comment from : @AustrianStacker

Great video as always my friend and I prefer coins to bars- rounds but I love poured silver
Comment from : @roczilla2405

Bars are better coins premium are to high plus if they get damage in anyway there goes your money down the drain
Comment from : @davidmuse5118

gold I buy bullion Gov issued silver I buy 10 and 100oz bars as cheap as possible Often my silver is bought at spot My gold I will pay a 50$us over for buffalos and 20 over on AGE Speaking as an American not sure what the Europeans have tax wise I can walk into my LCS and walk out with cash in hand with out any questions asked
Comment from : @BanditHat

I like them both, so I have coins and bars Thanks for sharing my friend
Comment from : @alexanderrdevoogt3235

What if there's a government confiscation and they pay you face value on coins
Comment from : @justaseeker4558
