Hey lads it’s snowing super hard outside, nice to have a fresh comfy thread

>>52890665
If you're going for sheer numbers, larger bars have lower premiums than 1 oz rounds / coins.
Mix some 100 oz bars in there, they're only like $2 over spot per oz on the low end right now.

>>52890665
I wouldn’t recommend anything to a family member unless you stress that it’s a speculation that could depreciate. No sense in pissing off relatives or friends over investments which nobody can predict.

>>52890665
eagles or buffs for gold.
no substitutes.

>>52890702
Silver is more on the speculation side. Gold prices tend to be more stable.

>>52890710
>eagles or buffs for gold.
heard

>>52890710
Eagle premiums are retarded right now, on both gold and silver side. You're just flushing away money on a brand. It's one thing if you're just stacking a few every now and then, but at large scales the premiums really fuck you over.

>>52890726
you get more when you sell. SD is paying $85 for an eagle, 20 for a roo. There are certain tax benefits and possibly restrictions from your state on non US used goods.

>>52890665
Gold. Spend maybe $1-2k on silver if you want, but only as a supplement.

Do not buy gold bars. Get coins. Personally I like old European coins. Krugerrands would work too. .900 purity is nice because its not so soft it might get damaged just by handling.

>>52890737
You're gambling on whether or not eagles remain scarce and in high demand. The whole situation with eagles is artificial because the US mint is at highly reduced capacity. If they suddenly kick up production again, and the premiums go way down, you could lose a lot.

>>52890618
Wow. They look like they are having a nice time. Would be neat if I saved this image and shooped a bunch of PMs in there.

>>52890583
Toastin' in a shiny bread

>>52890756
it always has been a premium product because of the inherent benefits of being a US dollar denominated product. People were bitching when ASEs were 2.80 over spot, and AGEs were 40. Ive went through the various stages of eagle hate, but in the end they are the best choice if you live in the states.

>tfw no pizzaslut silver shorty gf

>>52890782
The whole reason I stack is because I don't have faith in the US dollar. I could give a damn about the US dollar denomination aspect.

I'm not against the idea of stacking eagles. I'm just against the idea of overpaying for a brand that does absolutely nothing for the constituent metal.

>>52890800
Everyone is worried about the entry price, but at some point, you have to worry about your exit strategy. This is where AGEs shine.
>>52890823
you wouldnt have any government coins in that case, correct?

personally I just think they are ugly.

>>52890832
I have a lot of sovereigns, even Eagles. I don't see the point in sticking to US coins exclusively though. If at some point PMs do become in excessively high demand because of a failing currency system, buyers will gladly take a Britannia or a Maple. Hell they have better security features than the Eagle.

>>52890832
if you're treating your PMs as an investment and not savings you probably shouldn't be dumping them if there isn't an immediate market for everything you have. hell, it's easy to get rid of just about anything right now.

am i allowed to talk about gold backed crypto here?

If I was being completely utilitarian about stacking, I'd probably just buy gold and silver shot instead of coins, rounds, and bars. I like to strike a middle ground and diversify and try to get the best amount for my money while still having some semblance of convenience.

>>52890855
anything not denominated US is "used goods" when you go to sell to a shop, and depending on your state, might be held for a period of time, and will be reported to your local police. Its not about the gold content, its about whats on the gold.
>>52890862
im not interested in semantics, and this is not about the ability to sell, but the benefits when you do sell.

should I buy more gold or more ammo

>>52890910
absolutely retarded idea. The only possible benefit to shot is the ability to transact in minute quantity, which i have never once seen written as a benefit to buying shot.

>>52890915
I live in a very free state, so it's not an issue for me personally. I can understand the reasoning for someone living in a dystopian hellhole like California though. I just don't see the benefits in the massive premiums for me right now to make it worth it.

>>52890737
This makes a difference now, but when gold goes up exponentially, you’ll wish you had stacked more weight because the premiums won’t do a 100x like the price of spot gold will when we hyperinflate in 10 years.

>>52890943
i absolutely guarantee wherever you live, if you sell a generic whatever, it will be reported to your local authorities
>>52890960
eagles are not reported to the IRS

>>52891002
If you're talking about selling to coin shops, they will absolutely report US silver coins. I know they're required to report $1000 face value on 90% coin sales.

>>52891002
horseshit, the IRS makes no distinction between sales of different types of coins and I challenge you to provide a shred of evidence to the contrary

Golden ammo.

I agree having an exit strategy is important but I'm not going to let some fear of non denominated bullion deter me from getting as much as I can while I can in a metered fashion.

>>52891054
not an IRS rule, just an arbitrary suggestion from ICTA

>>52891054
Your chart does not support what you said. You specifically said if you sell a generic whatever. There are minimums. As well, >>52891032 is right about constitutional reporting requirements.
Why are you retarded?

>>52890398
>personally id want to see a do it yourself coin
Oh I like that idea, you could even have a voting system that is super autistic with cursive and coins etc.. and generate a lot of bickering, but something everyone can be proud of.

Oh ok, I will look that up and get a feel for the show. Not tonight though, it’s already late. Good night and thanks for the updates.
Everyone's coins are coming along nicely.

> I am excite egg boy.jpg

>>52891083
Eagles are not generally referred to as "constitutional" but I don't trust an LCS to not snitch on me over selling Eagles. So I don't really feel the need to focus on stacking ONLY Eagles.

Also the IRS can change their reporting rules at the drop of a hat. The way they're cracking down on 2023, I'm surprised they aren't already.

>>52891067
you can buy an eagle right now for 19, SD will pay you 55 over for it tomorrow, $1845
you can buy a disgusting maple for 1860, SD will give you 20 over for it tomorrow, 1840
oH mY gOd ThE pReMiUmS aRe HorRiBle

yeah im the retarded one, sure


>>52891083
that is to the IRS, the feds. Your local state frens have reporting requirements on used goods also.

Its so new and shiny I really couldnt help myself and its even arriving in a nice box

>>52890898
>Crypto

I'm seeing about an $80 price difference between the Gold eagle and Maple on SD right now. And that's for the cheaper pre-order of the 2023 Eagle.

>I enjoy

>>52891113
Fun fact: Did you know that the IRS was formed the same year that the we amended the constitution to allow income tax?

>>52890627
If you buy proof-like sets you can get some pretty immaculate copper pennies, alongside some immaculate silver and nickel coinage

>>52891081
And in that suggestion bars get 5 oz more leeway lol

>>52891176
Yes I'm very familiar with how fucked up 1913 was.

>>52891159
monument has eagles for 19
they have maples for 1860
when you account for what you get when you sell, the delta is much lower. Exit strategy is a much ignored topic in pms.

>>52891136
That’s beautiful

>>52891101
Anon, in your post I quoted you talked about 90%. That's constitutional.

>>52891123
Cope. What you said was wrong. Flat out.

>>52891185
My ideal exit strategy is that I never sell my cheapies for some disgusting fiat and then I die on my stack.

>>52891125
post the clipped side

>>52891212
your city and state has reporting requirements on used goods. the federal government has different requirements on gold and silver sales. If i wasn't clear on this, i apologize.

Whoever dies with the most toys wins.

>Maple hate ITT
Honestly? Just KYS. The humble gold Maple is 9999 fine goodness and is government backed bullion.

What happens if the US mint decides to strike more AGEs in the future? Your premium argument vanishes and all you did was pay some jew an extra $50 for a SPECULATIVE quality that depends on low US mintage and high demand. 1oz of Canadian gold = 1oz of American gold = 1oz of British gold = 1oz of Aussie gold

>>52891125
I want to buy 100 of these

>>52891270
He's just worried about playing THEIR game. Whoever has the gold makes the rules.

>>52891270
begone royalist. i will never buy anything else with the lizard queen on it. Eagles have always had a premium on all other coins, even when spot was low and supply was high. Because theyre the best.

>>52891295
wont be canada, thats for sure

>>52891313
I laughed my ass off when I head about Canada pawning off their entire reserves a few years ago. BRICS is going to eat their asses alive first.

Trudeau always was a giant China cocksucker. I bet he sold most of it to China. They've been stacking hardcore these last few years.

>>52891313
Wait, what? Canada has 2000k of gold for the entire country's reserves?

>>52891354
barbarous relic, etc

>>52891354
Canada has 0 gold reserves now. If you have anything, you officially have more gold reserves than the Canadian central bank. Congratulations.

Trudeau not even a stacklet. NGMI

Kek... jesus christ...

>>52891297
Is there really THAT much of a difference between rounds and ASE's? Each of these coins hold the same amount of silver but one you might have an easier time reselling because?...

>>52891364
Totally useless goyim. Give it to me instead.

>>52891366
Genuinely? Absolute madness.

>>52891366
Well that explains the reason behind people getting fake bullion form an official government mint. And now people are trying to pawn that crap on us. Lmao I would rather have any other then Crapnadian coins

>>52891434
What the mint orders for production is different from what the central bank holds. But yeah a country that doesn't stack definitely doesn't respect the metal.

>>52891432
im not arguing for ASEs right now. The premiums are retarded versus the benefits of that coin. It gets into either schizo territory or muh feels with that one. AGEs are a good buy when you look at the whole picture.

>>52891354

>>52891432
Its easier to resell but also more trusted. Thats why silver junk is so good as well, much harder to cheat something that is so standardized vs basic rounds which anyone can make.

>>52891634
I think it could be a good way for actual bullion dealers to do business
You buy tokens, then redeem them with a mailing address

If the US needs Gold, it'll just seize the Gold held within the NY Fed. Sure everyone else will hate them, but they were the ones gullible enough to store their Gold on foreign soil.
They already seized the Gold there that belonged to Afghanistan once the Taliban regained power, so there's more than enough precedent for this sort of thing.

>>52892583
Ah yes I remember when I was a (and compared to some I still am). This was about half my stack a year ago which was basically just all the silver and gold I had in my coin collection.

Gold is going to zero, you'll be able to get it for free off of craigslist soon enough if you're willing to go clean it out of dejected stackers' houses and transport it away.

This is pretty obvious now, isn't it? I would HOPE there would be universal redeemability, a la pre-Bretton Woods. But I would guess China would go straight to Bretton Woods if they can. Still, it will involve pegging gold to some currency and that will become the de facto international value for gold. So you might not, as an individual, be able to trade your gold yuan for gold, you WILL be able to trade your gold for a very large quantity of gold yuan.

A Western Union-type operation could wire gold or silver anywhere in the world instantly today. Why insert some weird internet token system? Hand your gold to the WU guy. He gives you a passcode. You send passcode via email, or text, or snail mail, or courier, or tattoo it on a hooker's ass, or any other method you like. Recipient takes passcode to WU guy. WU guy gives gold to recipient. Done. Obviously you use some encryption or other security measures to protect the passcode in transit. That tech already exists.

They already did it once when Nixon stopped gold redemption. The whole world was holding dollars based on the promise to redeem in gold and the USA just unilaterally said "fuck off" and the world did nothing at all. Of course it is a VERY different world today, but the folks who have their gold in the Fed still are probably not going to actually DO anything if it is confiscated. Most countries already hate the USA (for good reason) so giving them yet another reason really doesn't change much.

https://youtu.be/Hc5yfgeycTk

I feel robbed of better times and a better society. We've been duped, supressed, gaslit, and marginalized in so many ways across so many facets - not just our money and banking system, but our culture, relationships, education, science, history - that whenever I think on it (which is often) I get the impression of a Gordian Knot that can never be unravelled, but merely rots away.

I fear that I was born, and live, and will die in a time of passive misery which could easily have been a time of prosperity and happiness if we were brave enough to stand and point to the people responsible and beat them with controlled savagery into submission.

>feeling demoralized today bros
I cannot pretend I know what will get you out of your demoralization spiral (things that work for me may not work for you). However, I urge you to nip it in the bud as quickly as possible. We have a short time on this Earth and it's much better to spend it enjoying life and helping others where able. Try going to the shooting range today, I am.

>>52895702
This post is mental masturbation and circle jerk. You need to get on my level and get over yourself. Shits funny

>>52895747
I get that we can only really control the spheres of our own lives and I understand and intend to make the best of my time, but there's still this empty feeling. My society's rotting away. I don't want to be one happy island in a miserable sea. I want everyone to be happy and free, at least free to attain happiness untethered by the machinations of central banks, or self-perpetuating governments, or godless sodomites.
>>52895752
All I can say is I wish I could just switch into bliss. I'm like a rampant AI thinking itself to death. I know exactly why Genesis tells us that the original sin of man was gaining knowledge of good and evil. It's awful.

Never buy mutt gold, the more pure the better

>>52896969
If you have none? Absolutely. The market on platinum is extremely tight and is a very exciting investment. If demand starts to seep out of the bond and stock market and look for a home in commodities then platinum literally has no capacity to absorb anywhere near even a teeny tiny fraction of that capital inflow. It is extremely exciting in that regard. Although until that happens, the industrial demand may cause a slouch in the price. Just be aware of liquidity of platinum, not all dealers may wish to buy/sell it.

Ok we have talked more about it and if there was to be a super small limited run of coins (100-150 tops)would you guys prefer them to all be gilded or none of them. (this affects overall price and the small run would be closer to the full gilded price for cost management) or the run would only be unserialized to keep costs down as little as possible.

reminder these runs would be super niche in concept and the shows we pull from them would not be very big but they would bo cool atleast. The main goal of these is to make smaller runs of shows we really want to see and not light money on fire. their wouldnt be a PO period but a limited sale and thats it

>>52897268
Prefer ungilded.

"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor." -Thoreau

If there have ever been "Golden Ages" in which humanity did not suffer tremendously, they have been few, far between, and short-lived. Most of humanity for most of history would look at your life as an improvement on theirs.. And yet people have always been able to carve out a slice of happiness for themselves and those around them. The first and most important thing you must realize is that your happiness is FAR more dependent on the way you process your experience than on your circumstances.

You CAN learn to turn on the bliss switch. The human brain is trainable and adaptable. You can train your nervous system to find happiness.

>>52890746
> Do not buy gold bars. Get coins.
Why? Bars seem to have lower premiums (at 1/4-1/2oz 10-20g sizes…).

>>52897420
Agreed. But nobody is going to invade the USA to get their gold back. But they might close US bases and break trade agreements.

>>52897592
there's a shitload of things they can do to retaliate. a land invasion is the least of concerns.

>>52897547
I think this "dark age" is different, though. Think of all the institutions and problems and corcumstances existing now which are relatively recent, basically brand new in the grand scheme of history. A single worldwide fractional reserve banking system, the Internet and social media, population density on a scale never seen before, industrial-scale abortion and family erasure. I feel like the problems of previous "dark ages" were more direct, observable, confrontable. Societies have rotten from the inside out before but never so quickly.

I'm also frightened by the idea that, even if we started making all the right decisions today, it would take so many years and new generations for these corrections to actually manifest that if I did live to see them, I'd be a very old man.

Lots of nice round this year. Cop or not?

>>52897557
Mega wealthy stack bars for the majority of their metal because it's the most cost effective. Numismatic coins are a hobby.

>>52897490
>>52897377
Thanks for the feedback on that, if we cut out boxes and gilding and serializing that lets us bring the price down for the one off small runs to somewhere inbetween what we charged the regulars and gildeds for megumin

>>52897735
I also agree. I'm not a big fan of gilding. I hate coloring on coins as well, and inking of any sort. I just like my coins to have a pure relief.

If gilding can be done tastefully, it's not a bad idea.

>>52897711
i have the gandalf round. one of my favs
it has a really cool security feature, a quote of his in tiny text on the brim of his hat

>>52897735

>>52891515
Oman surprised me. Would have expected that sand people are hoarding gold. 0.02 tonnes, that’s 20kg! Sure, for your average Joe, that’s still a lot of gold, but for a country? Not so much.

>>52897735
>>52897870
No sweat, though I'm with anon. Serializing on a lim-pro run is an asset, imho. It's up to you finally of course.

What happens to PMs in a deflationary environment? If we go from inflation to deflation, will our stacks be worth less? Do we just stack more and ride it out?

>>52898143
>>52897880
>>52897870
>>52897784
We are also a fan of the numbering and i personally think its worth keeping for the smaller runs, non serialized coins should really be the ones we sell from the bigger runs for a store allocation. We also need to consider an effective 'reprint' policy going forward which is something ill be bringing up sunday

as far as the coins we have already made there wont be restrikes of those, though in the future reworks of them might get made and unserialized runs of the small run coins are something im thinking about. Being a group of people creates conflicting ideas so dont take everything i say here as fact of course. official statements will be made on tweeter and the website.

>>52891515
Got a link for this list?

>>52898239
Precious metals are money. Money does well during deflation.
The reason being you will be able to seize upon opportunities and you also have zero counterparty risk. There will be plenty of people whose investments go to zero, and people lose jobs and get laid off etc. But literally having ownership and liquidity will be a good thing.

>>52897268
I would prefer non-gilded, and I will order 3 silver rounds anyways at around $150+shippingThe gilded versions were $150 anyways. So maybe make a MOQ of 3?

>>52890583
Somebody is selling an 18k gold chain that's 300 dollars in the store for 150 dollars.

Should I go for it?

>>52898528
Whats the weight?

>>52898595
2,29 grams. Don't know if it measures the total weight or just the gold weight.

>>52898520
Oh and with a MOQ we can still do Serialization, I think.

>>52897557
Personal preference, mostly. Face value is a nice thing to have over just a round or bar -- it is currency. And they're more visually appealing than plain weight.

>>52898649
Probably total weight. Might be worth the risk either way.

>>52898649
It's not worth more than $90

>>52898649
The gold value is less than 100 USD.

>>52894422
Jannies deleted my other one but merc nation don't give a fuck.
Have another.
Merry Christmas jannies, I hope you all get a good holiday bonus this year.

In a choice between a 1 oz bar and a 1 oz coing from the same mint, is there any reason to go with one over the other?
Some bars have numbers on them and I guess people can call to verify that's in the mint's records?

>>52899104
it really doesn't matter
buy whichever you like more

This Christmas I've made a ring for my girlfriend. Fucking forged it in my apartment with a clay mold and a gas torch. First time I've dabbled in making jewelry.

Heart is 8ct gold, ring is .925 sterling. It is an absolute bitch to polish something like this without specialized tools.

>>52899128
Thanks for spending the time on a noob. It is interesting how only the bars (in this mint's case) have the name of the mint on it.

>>52899215
nice work, hope she's worth it

The simplistic style is nice

>>52892556
The message at the bottom is overkill and ruins it. The idea is conveyed by what the sluts say, using the empirical there only serves to annoy the reader

>>52899215
Take it to a jeweller and get them to polish it for you. It'll look professional and she'll be impressed.

>>52895207
No one is actually stacking roundmeal are they? Cube meal stacks better in the deep freeze for when shtf.

>>52899023
>>52899055
I didn't buy it but 50% premium seems really good on a necklace. Lots of silver coins have premiums close to 30%.

>>52899408
I'm adamant about doing everything myself.

>>52899215
it's really pretty, but would really shine if you did get the tools to buff it properly.

>>52899476
Get some polishing compound and a polishing cloth yourself then. It will look like a professional piece of jewellery

>>52899279

>>52899463
If the cost is 300 dollars, and the value is 100, the premium is 200%.

>>52899463
It's not bullion, it's scrap. It's 18k. Assuming the 2.29g is the just the necklace weight not including clasps or other non-gold items, the gold is 1.65g. That means there's a total of about $90 in gold. Scrap is scrap anon.

>>52899593
Her dad has a dremel with buffing pads. We tried those before during the process and they worked like a charm, so I'm gonna borrow that.

>>52897268
I think you could do anime and not have it be super niche shows. Like I'm sure a Chika Fujiwara coin would be quite popular

>>52899730
we plan to do larger runs with stuff not so niche, but we like niche stuff because those shows tend to be more impactful to the people that watched them. people will look back more fondly on those shows than something like love is war

>>52895395
what is that? looks cool

>>52899215
very nice anon, im sure she's gonna love it

>>52897654
But that is mostly in your mind. You stew in an echo chamber and it amplifies your anxiety. Take charge of your own mind. It is absolutely futile and destructive to sit around wringing your hands about things you can do NOTHING about.

Remember, when the Eastern Roman Empire crashed, life got better for most people.

Pretty much anywhere.
As long as the us dollar is the world currency. Europe has the Brittania and the Vienna Phil. Nobody cares. Aussies have a Kangaroo. Nobody wants it. Canada has a leaf and the government sold all their gold. It's rejected. Sud-Africa has the Krug. Doesn't inspire anymore. China has a panda, covid and concentration camps. Might make it one day. But for now buy Gold Dollars. Eagles. And Buffalos.

Uh, what?
The maple leaf and the Kruger Rand are like the most renown coins ever. Your stupid eagle might be nice for 600lb burgers, but other than that, nobody cares. Never seen one for sale, neither LCS or online outside of America. But Kruger Rand or Maple Leaf? Availbale and know world wide!

>>52899104
is it a sovereign mint?

>>52899104
When you say "coin" you mean an actual coin and not a "round?" Rounds are shaped like coins but have no government backing. They're just round generic bars.

Bars usually have lower premiums because they're easier to produce so you can stack more ounces. Bigger the bar, the lower the premium you spend per ounce.

Sovereign minted coins have more trust backing them, so they could be easier to sell and have potential for numismatic collectivity.

>>52897268
thank you for the updates. side question, if we missed the presale for the Boomer 1oz, will they eventually be avail on the site?

The Emu is really growing on me.

>>52901713

>>52901713
Thats a question for mintanon, pretty sure the boomers are still up PO on his site. threadly reminder we are two different people

I prefer plain silver.

Would we have any input in the design?
Or would you just design it, tell us and put it on the website?

I don't want to miss out with a super limited run of say a golden boy coin, the outer rim is a bicycle tyre and study study study on one side and him writing on his note pad on the other surrounded by big anime tiddies.

>>52902662
we will probably figure out a few designs/characters we want to go with and make it a twitter poll or something

>>52902673
then after that we will workshop the design and if anons arent peticular to it we will figure something out.

The gilding on the Yotsubas was incredibly disappointing, feels like the same look could be achieved with a gold sharpie. Don't bother. Focus on good designs and don't worry about the upsell gimmick.
