These threads are not as much fun as they used to be.

Haven’t t bought anything new recently, just some Vatican City 500 lira with the Pope on it. Wanted to round out my ASE another 7 to top up a tube O 20 but I have bills this month.

Good thing you finally took your meds, anon. Stacking shiny rocks is a mental illness and now that you are taking your medication you are on your way to a healthier lifestyle.

>>55653281
glad to see it's finally done. now i can pack my coins away.

>>55653326
probably because the jannies went hard with the ban hammer last month and pissed off a bunch of stackers. i know i quit posting often because i was on a ban 6/7 days a week.
when temperatures start cooling down i imagine the threads will become lively again.
also with ASE's down to less than 31 dollars its the best time to stack those in the past three years.

How good are those safes?

In fact anyone got any recommendations for a small factor safe?

>>55653637
I keep them in a locked room in a secluded area. They hold my PMs so, they're 'good' in that aspect. But someone could up and grab them if they broke a few locks and knew what I knew.

>>55653326
There's no happenings man we were all pumped for the SVB situation

>>55653637
You can get away with using a cheap safe as long as you bolt it to the floor and try to place it in the corner of a room where the wall physically impedes somebody from prying at it with a crowbar.

1/3 of my numistic coins in my last order did not ship because the shop realized it was sold out. Feels bad man.

>>55653345
I do, that’s my photo. I see them for about £40-£70 on eBay. Sometimes in the packaging from the mint. I just flagged it for watching on eBay and kept looking for low bid ones or buy it nows that were set to sell. Got this one when several were up at once for about £50

>>55653682
You chuds lost, there will be no recession.

>>55653847
Holy crap. That's no way to run a business.
As soon as you place the order, they should reserve what they have in stock until your payment fails. If it's good, they need to ship it.

why did the premium on silver eagles drop 10$, i dont see anyone talking about why it occurred just that its now a good time to buy, did one of the big holders like monument get tired of holding and decide to cash out fuck the premium we set a new one?

canadian coin and currency, an affiliate website of pmx. I have used them many times as a leaf and never had an issue. They have hundreds of coins in their physical store not listed online. Never had an order unfulfilled before. It was probably some online error because now it is showing sold out.

Do you frens have any ideas of what kind of cheap/free activities i could shill to my bros once we're there?
Thankfully i wont have to pay any rent since we are accommodated by one of the friends and his house is quite spacious. And it's another friend who will pick me up with his car so no problem on this side too.
But only 550-600 bux (hopefully 800 by then) will be super tight for a week.
And i know those fuckers since i'm 10, they all somehow managed to leave their wives and kids behind for the week, and when their roasties are away.. cash is like molten lava through their pockets, they will spend 200€/ea a day in coke, ecstasy and liquors at fancy places alone...
Thankfully the city is quite smol so hopefully they will struggle to bring in hookers and college girls (read: whores payable in drugs), but who knows..

I need to occupy as much time on the agenda far away from expensive stuff! Help me frens. They know i'm broke and a cheapsteak, but they don't know the extent of how ridiculously poor i truly am kek.

>>55655184
Lol I’m in the exact opposite situation frens wanted vacation I act like I want to go and shoot a message so it looks like I have incentive. But the guy hasn’t sent me a message yet. Douche move though we looked for places and then he just asked for 50 bucks, so I knew it was disingenuous. Known him since I was 4 so it’s kinda lame how he doesn’t have the incentive. But who cares, I don’t. I don’t want to speak with nobody anymore. here I am saving money instead of going on a shitty vacation.

>>55655414
He's done a lot of annoying shit, but the one I remember the most was his insistence that were silver to moon, ASE's would not only retain their premium on a percentage basis, but it would actually increase.

>silver goes to $100
>ASE's would sell for 80%+ premium($180+) while bullion rounds still sell for 20%($120). It was and is an absolutely pants on head retarded take.

>>55655332
>that's miserable anon but at lease you've learned about the liquidity of metals.
Now you mention it, it didn't even cross my mind to sell some shinies. Not for sale until SHTF.
>are your bros into old churches and sights?
That's more my kind of stuff, not really their. That said we all love nature, so long walks in the forest or on the beach should be a good (cheap) option.

>>55655384
Why did he ask 50 bux for?
>here I am saving money instead of going on a shitty vacation
Feel you bro. Usually i decline pretexting bad health, and when i want to go on vacation i put my lava lamp on yellow, put my sunglasses and launch google street views in the places i want to visit.
Then i scroll for few hours in the locations of interest. Last time it was Peru : the Lima plateau, Caral pyramids, mountains in the clouds.. pretty comfy.
It will be my first real vacations since few years.

but you're right its a lot harder to find silver now.

thats one way to test but there are some good fakes. heres a video on one: https://youtu.be/WR0mBAZ2bRo?t=82
he only found out it was 96% silver by testing with the sigma at 17:41

>>55655941
you should never be in a position where this happens to you anyway. many of these youtubers buy these just for the videos.

if you want a rare coin i can understand not going to a dealer but there is absolutely no excuse not to buy common coins and bars from a dealer. even on ebay just look for obvious high rep dealers. they test the metals. all the people here that have ever got fakes its because they got it from this one guy on ebay who had 2 rep and lived in israel

So do you guys not see asteroid mining devaluing metals in your lifetime?
I ask because I'm set to inherit a small fortune in metals from my dad (like 300k)

No.
I see asteroid mining as a way to extract resources for extending/expanding space missions, not returning to Earth. They'll want Al, Fe, Ti, O, N, H, etc. PMs might be useful, but would more likely just be a novelty of useless mass for the space farers.

See if there is anywhere you can metal detect that's not the beach and rent out some equipment, this would probably be a fun option.

Does anyone have any recommended reading about what inflation does to credit/mortgage?
And I'm not talking about
>Muh Weimer you could buy a house and a underage virging for a gold coin!!
>In Venzuela 1 Oz of silver buys you an appartment!!
hearsay, but I'm more interested in more recent, relevant examples.
I.e. the high-inflation phase in the 70s, or Turkey nowadays, which, while a shithole, of course, is still a somehwat working, civilized country.
Assuming a wage-prize spiral and a fixed interest, will my, say, € 500k mortgage I'm taking now always stay at this amount of Euros (eg. €500k this year, €450k next year, €400k the following year, and so on), even if those €400k in two years might only be "worth" the equivalent of, say €50k this year?
Or will the bank say
>sorry, as you've seen, our money isn't worth much anymore, now you gotta repay us €5 million!
What I'm trying to ask is, can I take a loan to buy a house now and just hope that inflation will pay a good chunk of my house?

>>55657501
And to add some shiny:
I'd love to have this little gem.

>>55653326
Ayoooo. Hol up, you racist with that fake white Britannia bitch. Get yourself the true coin. Present and forever

>>55657501
All you need to know is that inflation is money creation which is where credit comes from for mortgages because the banks print it out of thin air. Money creation must go at the same rate as the increased rate of production (such as houses) because if it doesn't, then it will create an imbalance in the economy. It wouldn't be a problem if the banks did currency deflation (aka destroying the money supply) to bring it back into equilibrium, but the banking system is a cocaine motherfucking addict which is leveraged to high heaven and must grow forever or implode. Everything wrong in today's world is due to the banks gambling with everyone's money. Now they have created a dilemma for themselves. Do they inflate more and more making everyone poorer, or do they raise interest rates and cause the flow of the economy to stop because people won't want to sell their houses if it means the imaginary price number goes down.

If you think all this financial shit is ten piles of bollocks, then congratulations, you've just figured out the debt slavery con system we all live under.

>>55657501
Also that inflation chart is bollocks. The way inflation is being measured is being manipulated. First it was changing the inflation system from RPI to CPI to make inflation look lower. Now the central banks are outright editing inflation numbers to make them look lower than what they truly are. They're not even hiding it, the Bank of England for example states on their own website that the inflation methodology has been changed.

basically saying no one would ever trade their end of the world goods for silver that wasnt "easily recognized" by the every day jackass

he basically just shit up the threads by arguing with himself . nothing wrong with eagles but the case to stack only them especially with the premiums being retarded is dumb as shit

>>55655694
this isnt true, been coin hunting for a while to fill in whitman books. found a few silver dimes; maybe one 64 quarter. never a half dollar. i search two $500 boxes and didnt even get a 40%.

roll hunting died in the 90s/early 2000s

>>55658069
He's right though. When shit hits the fan and the world you once knew comes to an end, only the American silver eagle coin will be accepted for trade by normal fag non stackers in exchange for their critical goods that you will need to survive. They will only trust coins from the US Mint thanks to their security features (it's missing a reed). Poor fags will cope with their generic rounds, but when shit hits the fan they won't make it. just imagine how scary everything will be. Better buy all the stuff you will need now.

>>55655958
buy from trusted sources but i have one of the sigma mini pros for my gun shop, ive had some customers bring in eagles and morgans that were fake as fuck. they usually said they were purchased at flea markets

>If you think all this financial shit is ten piles of bollocks, then congratulations, you've just figured out the debt slavery con system we all live under.
Thanks, but WTF do you do with this information? Sure, I can prepare for the eventual end of all this crap, but
a) I have to live in the here and now, while everything still is running "smoothly" and
b) the best preparation would be to have my own place (with some garden space) and this means playing this stupid game because there's no way I'm going to buy a house without having to take out a shitton of debt.
(Also, on the one hand, I need to have money liquid and "growing" in the markets, on the other hand, I wanna have some pm's handy, if stuff gets worse faster than expected. Fuck. Guess I'll just define my 2OzAu and 100?Oz Ag as sufficient)

>>55657501
>can I take a loan to buy a house now and just hope that inflation will pay a good chunk of my house?
The interest rate on your loan is designed to screw you out of that happening. You could still get that result if inflation goes well beyond what that interest rate accounts for, but that requires crazy high inflation, your loan terms/regional law not allowing the rate to be changed for any reason, and TPTB not flipping the table and raising the interest rate or redefining your principal anyway. At the same time, the value of your house may increase as well and you have the option to refinance later, however. Tons to think about.

You can still just play the game and ultimately do okay even if the can is kicked another generation down the road, but rates are especially shit right now. Owning anything you can is probably still a good idea if you can afford it long-term, but your timing may not be favorable.

>>55658859
yeah, it is a real nice coin. they're using a new capsule with it, too. it isn't curved on the top, like their old capsules, so no issues stacking it with coins in regular air-tite capsules. i picked it up from monument when they initially got theirs, but it is still up on most other sites. i like the other 5 euro 2023 malta coin too. both are real nice.

>>55659026
did he have more than one? you should have picked them all up. jm had them for $39 about a month ago but they sold out before i could get one :(

>>55659180
>The interest rate on your loan is designed to screw you out of that happening. You could still get that result if inflation goes well beyond what that interest rate accounts for, but that requires crazy high inflation, your loan terms/regional law not allowing the rate to be changed for any reason,
As far as I understand it, there's two models:
flexible rate (which now is fucking over quite a lot of people, who signed up for 0% financing (which now is much higher…)) and a fixed rate, which never was 0, but can't be changed. But before I sign up for anything, that's def something I need to be certain about. If that'd be the case, I for one would welcome inflation.
>Tons to think about.
Indeed
>but rates are especially shit right now.
Well, compared to what used to be normal just not that long ago, single digit rates are still quite low. double digits used to be normal. But on the other hand, wages used to be much better and houses much cheaper. I've got like 250k€ available, and looking at houses, that's like, nothing. WTF?
>Owning anything you can is probably still a good idea if you can afford it long-term, but your timing may not be favorable.
At least I already own some farmland…(for the memes!). Guess I'll wait how the situation develops for a year or two. I'm already fucked, so can't get much worse, but maybe it gets better. Due to
>flexible rate (which now is fucking over quite a lot of people, who signed up for 0% financing (which now is much higher…))
it seems like quite a few folks have to sell their houses at a loss which is lowering prices a bit (still way too go).

>>55659197
>did he have more than one?
He just had the one. He had a libertad and a maple as well, so I grabbed them all.

>>55654497
Sorry to hear it, but, yes, it has happened to me too. The one gold coin I wanted, I ordered, waited three weeks before they fessed up that they didn't have it. Grr...

>>55659026
Yeah, my local store tends to sell 1oz coins all the same regardless.

They had that haggard one of Britannia for £35 back when all the others were about £31 off the big UK stores.

>>55655968
I think everyone approaches asteroid mining from the wrong perspective. This same mistake is made with respect to oil. The price increases from scarcity to incentivize new kinds of exploration and production. The price signal drives the capex for extraction. I would be excited for asteroid mining because it would mean the price of metals is high enough to fund the venture plus profit.

Is this bullish for PMs?

Why does raising interest rates even affect existing credit? As I understand the banks are basically middle men and get the money from the central bank, from which they themselves loan it at the current rate. When those rates rise, does this affect existing loans from the central bank to the regular banks? I guess my question is are those loans fixed rate or not? If not, who why would anyone think unpredictability like that is a good thing?

>>55660938
It would depend on the terms of the loan if it's a fixed or variable rate.

>>55661000
So banks can choose betweee fixed and variable rate loans from the central bank? Assuming that's how it works.

>>55661066
How are my questions vague? I'm asking about how raising interest rates affects existing liabilities the regular banks have towards the central bank.

Silver feels like shit compared to gold. Like tin or aluminium. An ounce of gold is like half the size of an ounce of silver. Silver is truly a trash garbagemetal.

OK, so let's take a step back. Why does the central bank's interest rate affect existing loans?

>>55661497
No thanks. Even if you were serious I'd never interact with anyone from a chan in meatspace.
You're probably a glowie too.

>>55661501
do they impact existing loans? what types of loans are impacted by an increase in rates?

>>55658580
Prep as much as you can and get out of any outstanding debt as you possibly can. That means preparing to move back in with family, getting some tins of food with a life shelf of a few years, some form of off grid power generation to keep the lights on, warm clothes and blankets for winter, and plenty of bottled water. Now this isn't going to keep you going outside of the system, but what it does do is sort you out if there's a big shock to the system. You don't need to go into overkill, just enough until society can get some function again. It won't be long because people seek stability, but unlike most people you will be outside of the initial panic as people will be rushing to get supplies. If there's one thing the pandemic taught us, is that it gave us all an insight into societies in a crisis.

>>55654848
Because there's still an ounce of gold, but also a little silver and copper as well. You get a little bonus!

>>55661558
C,mon don't be a pussy faggot aboutit ,just make the trade on pmsforsale,I've don't it before ,and traded some generic silver for three commerative gold coins 500 each for 27 an ounce silver,

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Not giving up my silver.

That's exactly something a glowie would say.

>>55660938
When the Fed raises the rates it charges banks, it makes it much less profitable for banks to make loans, so they stop. That puts the brakes on money expansion and causes debt-dependent markets to crash.

>>55662005
Yeah, but does raising rates affect how much the central bank charges for existing loans already given out? Or are there different types of loans (fixed vs. variable) at this level too?

>>55662074
lmao you reply two seconds after he does but don't answer mine. i was right :)

>>55662088
Instructions unclear. Please elaborate.

I just bought my first lump of gold. It's weight is about that of half a Snickers.
That means i'm in the 80 oz silver category now, right?

>>55662201
Check the chart.

>>55661558
we'd probably get along swimmingly

>>55662264
Good, there is hope for me yet.
The plan is to get two more 1 oz coins and then 20x 1/10 oz. In my case it's just a hedge against who knows what.
Maybe i have to exchange it for bread and eggs.
Maybe i have to buy myself out of gulag duty.

>>55662403
>The plan is to get two more 1 oz coins and then 20x 1/10 oz.
The 1/10oz are really tiny, I personally wouldn't bother with them because it felt like I could lose it by blowing on it. I recommend 1/4oz as they're around 22mm diameter.

>>55662439
I see.
Still, 1/4 is a lot of value. I might not be able to get enough eggs for it when the dark times come.

Maybe i should consider buying a 50g bar where you can break of 1g pieces. 60€ a piece is manageable.

>>55662439
Buying silver fro smaller values sucks here, we pay 19% tax on silver, but not gold.

>>55662472
>19% tax on silver
Why would anyone care about that? If they aren't giving you the 19% tax back, they aren't getting the physical silver back.
They can print all the currency they want, but they can't print the physical silver, that's what they really need.

>>55662462
Sure, you can do that, but what you want to do is encourage circulation of sound money. Anything below 22mm becomes a bitch to manage.

>>55662514
You buy 19% over spot and sell for spot.
I fukken care about that. :-)

Bought like 25 ounces in 2021 and never did anything with them. How long until silver hits 50 bucks?

>>55662533
I'm not sure i care about encouraging anything.
I think about some kind of money reform where money get's invalid for a time. During that time i might want to eat, and thus need small pieces of gold to pay.
After that i might want to buy the new currency with the larger coins i have.
I don't care whether it will be more or less worth than now, it's just a hedge against bad times.

There was this guy in Germany that died in 1965. During his life his saved money was three times destroyed, but he had a small stash of gold, which helped him a lot. His story didn't specify what form that gold was, sadly. I suspect smaller coins.

>>55662555
Why would it? Silver is plenty in the earth and gets extracted faster than it's used up. Main reason is because it recycles so well.
Who would bet for silver to go up in such a short time by so much?

>>55662592
>I'm not sure i care about encouraging anything.
You are though, you outright talking about having small denominations of gold for food in the dark times. That's you wanting sound money circulation.

>>55662533
>Anything below 22mm becomes a bitch to manage.
But yeah, appreciate the hint. I never really thought what for gold used for bartering would be in.
Somehow i suspected people would just weigh rings, chains, pieces, coins and bars. That would then get assigned a value, like 1 gram is worth 60 liter of milk or 300 eggs or 6 kg of beef, your ring is 3 grams, so thats 18 kg of beef.

>>55662634
Yeah, maybe.

>>55662534
You just don't sell for spot, you sell for 19% over spot too.

>>55662648
you could get something like a valcambi combibar. they can break off into 1g or 1/10 oz pieces.

>>55662472
No you don't. You can get silver for spot and even get some copper for free.

>>55661975
Here's my stack just to show you I'm not a silver hater ,I've just realized that while I'm not losing money on my silver ,I also don't make as much gains as gold does ,think about it fren

why are these, or even the wiemar versions so expensive? a nice one of these is about 2 nice big windmills or 3 big eagles.

>>55663063
Andy Schectmen owner of Miles Franklin was the first to slash Eagles price last week. I wish I would have known that this was going to happen but I still scored by buying 5 100oz Canadian bars for 2736 each. It's kinda crazy what's happening, something is going on.

>>55663169
what is the connection with miles franklin here? they sponsor rafi and i see them brought up a lot. just people that work for them that post here?

>>55663272
Shit forgot pic

>>55663285
flip the bigger one over and take another picture

>>55663252
Just saying they were the first to slash eagle prices and were probably a week earlier than anyone else. Andy Shectmen is always doing interviews about gold and silver but as far as I have seen he has not spoke at all to why prices are getting slashed. Yes we know production of the mint is going up but why? They have been getting away with keeping production low which is illegal.

>>55663295

>>55663285
>>55663360
very nice! perth mint makes good quality coins.

>>55663360
very nice. i take it they do 10oz versions every year?

>>55663338
was just honestly curious. i never really heard about them until coming to these threads and now i hear about them a decent amount.

>>55663413
Yeah I really like Kookaburras.
I have been picking coins up of auctions lately (the 3 pictured are the latest), my favorite is a domed coin by the Australian Royal mint.

>>55663481
It seems so, I actually ordered a 2022 kilo Kookaburra last week, I'll have to post a picture with all 3 weights together.

I'm waiting for an anoymint order still. Hope it arrives this year.

>>55663493
So here is a picture of the painted domed coin. It is really hard to get a sense of it from a photo but it is really cool. The coin is in the shape of a dome. The convex side has a painted earth on it and the convex side has the queen and the planets around her.

>>55663622

>>55663622
its a bit hard to see from your pics but i found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur20a-KUZvc
cool coin anon. the earth really pops out and the design is super nice.

>>55663803
Yeah pictures do it no justice. I was blown away after I won the auction and had it in my hands. If I would have known how much I would have liked it I would have bought the other one they were selling.

>>55663638
that is a great looking coin

>>55663113
Maybe they were melted down because no one cares about non PM coins until suddenly they become rare and nazis cool again.

I wouldn’t be anti-silver if it actually went up like everyone here says it will any day now, meanwhile gold consistently goes up year by year

>>55664869
Maybe you are just shit at timing things and should look after the lows rather than buy the tops?

>>55664889
>and should look after the lows rather than buy the tops?
I’ve only ever bought at the lows over the past several years and I’ve at the best just barely broken even. If silver hits $50 I’ll admit I was wrong but I don’t think the internet will be here in 20 years

>>55664869
>I wouldn’t be anti-silver if it actually went up like everyone here says it will any day now, meanwhile gold consistently goes up year by year

The entire world is heading into a critical metal deficit in the years to come so both are going to increase in the years to come. There's a video in the opening post detailing all of this.

https://youtu.be/iibsrDXdEos

>>55664971
>The entire world is heading into a critical metal deficit in the years to come
Ah yes the solar panels and windmills that don’t work most of the time and can’t provide even a fraction of current energy use

>>55664921
>I’ve only ever bought at the lows over the past several years and I’ve at the best just barely broken even
How can it be possible? Because i too bought the lows only and i'm well in the green.
>If silver hits $50 I’ll admit I was wrong but I don’t think the internet will be here in 20 years
Dw anon, it wont take 20 years. Last year's silver deficit was 241Moz, 150Moz the year before,.. how long can this situation last to your opinion?
Sure, it's taking longer than we all expected i think, but i would be very surprised if they manage to keep it suppressed for another decade. Even half this timeframe seems like a stretch.
If i'm wrong i'll gladly apologize, but i doubt it.
That said, when we started to go after silver, we knew we were going after the big fish, we knew the rigging game was in the hands of JPMorgan, literally the most powerful bank in the world.
Either by self delusion of grandeur or by under estimating the opponent, they proved to be way more resilient than we initially expected, but it doesn't mean things can't change.
At some point it may also be in (((their))) favor to let silver go up, and once it happen, the accumulation window will already be shut down for good.

At worst i'm sitting on a pile of crabbing rocks instead of piles of worthless fiat or inflated IOUs. Only one of those can be created ad nauseam and ex nihilo.
At best i'm accumulating generational wealth of an increasingly needed and rare ressource whose price have been heavily suppressed.
This is a bet i'm willing to take every day of the week. Don't care if i have to wait 10 years instead of 5.

You were the one citing Solomon hoarding gold, thus being the good stuff.
JPMorgan is Solomon x100000 in term of power and influence. And they are heavily invested in silver. So much actually they are the largest silver owner on the planet. So by your own logic you should be in their footstep and accumulate as much as you can too.

>>55661812
First time been tempted to go on reddit just to shop for specialty silver cheap, anyway just hit estate sales to get lower priced generic silver, at or below spot, also potentially gold as well.

>>55666272
It seems to be an unspoken rule that seller sell bellow 1 percent of the lowest premiums that other dealers have,for example, a gold sovereign of queen Elizabeth's sells for 506 on monument metals website,where as on pmsforsale they usually sell for 480 ish,depends on seller but yeah,it's good for quick sells or buys but you'd sell a bit below dealers,seems that most people bought when spot was in the low, at least I did so I don't worry of lower price if I needed to sell ,I'm still in the green

>>55665922
Let me guess,royal Canadian mint?

>>55665071
>price have been heavily suppressed
Why does the price of silver get suppressed, but other commodities don't?
Who does the worldwide suppressing, the reptilian cabal?

>>55665893
So did i, 1833€.
I bought a regular Maple Leaf 2023.
I have set the goal of 5oz of gold for myself by the end of the year (you have to be registered if you buy more than 2000€ worth of PMs here, so i get my stuff piece by piece).

>>55666054
On gold coin could have more worth than all this stuff. You likely paid a lot more shipping/premiums on yours.
Why not go for gold or at least larger amounts, like kg bars?

>>55662648
That's exactly what is done in some countries right now, they break out a scale and weigh a piece of gold and even silver to pay for everything from rent to food. Personally I prefer silver for this but gold can be parted out or converted for silver as well if at a big enough business so it's fine to pick up 1 oz gold as a option, might be bad till places get established to trade in larger denominations. >>55662855
Literally these are a waste of money due to silver existing, change is going to be in silver dimes split into quarters or larger, no need and a waste of money when it comes down to resources to/from precious metals trading/bartering. >>55658580
Don't buy 100 oz silver unless you are prepared to either melt it down and cast jewelry/silverware at 1/2 to 1 oz weights, or chop off sections into weigh-by-scale places for goods and services. Let's say your in the united states, it's possible for the government to go after bullion and fed minted non numismatic silver coinage, even potentially foreign silver coinage. This means you would have to either hide it and can't use it, melt and convert into a legally tradable object like the old folks did with gold rings out of old gold coins, or make into jewelry form potentially like a coin capsule on a chain or a beltbuckle with silver coins in it. This can bypass some of the junk/constitutional silver, but I don't think you can walk around with a 100 oz bar as a belt buckle and get away with it, same for 10 oz and kilo bullion, possible for 5oz, 100 gram, and 1 oz bars/rounds if it's decorative enough, but that might be decided on a glowie by angry glowie basis. I will also add in the chance you wish to sell for usd or convert into gold during a low silver to gold ratio then it's wise to remain under 10k usd reporting that occurs, as you don't want your address and asset list in a databank that can be scraped and sold to a professional thief, just saying.

>>55654650
gold is gold. I have bought tons of gold jewelry around melt simply because its more enjoyable than coins and bars. as long as you aren't paying a premium you'll get your money back when you sell it.

Vid related is what I am wearing right now and I got it for melt value and it has 3oz of 18k with movement and strap removed and 2 carats of diamonds in the bezel.

More fun than coins and bars and I actually traded gold coins + cash for this and another watch.

At the end of the day - gold is gold. If my country goes through hyper inflation I will take these watches to the scrap shop and cash them in same as if they were coins and bars.

>>55666358
not really true. Lots of countries with bad currencies use the USD. Its when the USD dies that lots of countries are going to have to come up with something new since everyone is using the USD as a backup.

>>55666368
I still think the shop made a pricing error with these since they were basically at spot AFTER tax and they are both serviced and in good shape.

4oz with 80g of 18k after strap and movement removed.

>>55666295
I'm mostly interested in pre fed silver and decorative pieces to fondle so this is honestly tempting for me as I'm seeing people underselling ebay even on there, which is refreshing as I don't have much outside flea markets here for silver coinage/bullion or estate sales/auctions which vary weekly on prices due to people bidding below melt for old usd coinage or overpaying the next week $47 for nearly cull morgans like fucking lemmings.

>>55666346
Because who is going to really be making transactions in gold? No one carries $2000 bills. I'm not a rich fag.

>>55666380 Yes, many countries do use usd/digital, also some do use pieces of gold and silver, there is people that make money exchanging them both ways as well for those having to do business not just locally but abroad for some goods and services. Once people have been burned from holding USD too long and it becoming like the peso in Mexico, you'll start seeing people doing business all over the world in metals, not just mostly third world countries as it's been a form of exchange for centuries as not everyone wants to barter a specific good or service for another and precious metals was the catch all category for commerce exchange, now with no real need for bronze or copper no matter what the copper hoarders tell you.

>>55666438
nobody really knows. China is encroaching on the position as world hegemony so after the USD dies people may just start trading using RMB or some new brics currency.

>>55666368
I bought plenty of gold in jewelry form, sometimes below melt and it literally can sell for a premium over bullion due to maker and design, so no reason not to grab it up over bullion, if anything more of a reason as bullion is not protected in the usa against seizure as had happened in the past, but jewelry was pretty much safe to barter and trade with after many people had their bullion and gold coins bulk taken by the government. Also tip for anyone reading, if you want cheap gold, find a retailer that is going out of business that deals in gold jewelry as a part of their store, and wait for the 90% off sale, pick up many pieces barely above if not below spot, feel free to bring a scale the employees probably don't care as they are soon to be job hunting again, or go the day before and weigh out everything so you can just buy it before someone else starts picking up the pieces you want during the rush.

>>55666452
Possible but it's literally for a period of usd death and trust in a new currency forming, gold backed brics, china's currency, or even space bucks all we know, who cares I rather have the precious metals so I can easily swap over to that currency if needed, and either buy assets that generate more of the new currency or pay for basics if shops do open up accepting said currency, while holding onto what I wish to keep stored away, since it converts over to the new currency which can fall in value as we seen constantly happen to pretty much every country's currency of choice.

>>55655184
Dude, I've never understood people like you... At first I thought you were some 16 year old with almost no money on the bank. Sucks but it happens (although you should def have a few €k put away at that age from working as a jobstudent). But you're talking about your mates being married and having kids and whatnot. So you're at least in your late 20's... Just get a fucking job and stop wasting money on stupid stuff. That's all there is to it. Grow up, bro... Living like that is super embarrassing at your age.

Now back to posting silver, I had this in a thread that died shortly after when there was 3+ pmg threads up. Get yourself a beverage cup that purifies itself from bacteria, as this one will as it's now cleaner inside than in photo..

>>55666465
I also feel like gold jewelry is safer to travel with than bullion as it doesn't look like you're laundering money. I've heard. of bullion getting seized at airports but its less likely with jewelry IMO.

I've got cheap gold jewelry on ebay, from classifieds, and even from bullion dealers when asking what they've got in the melt bin. even bullion dealers make pricing errors sometimes and sell stuff cheap (like those two watches I showed above -- the diamond one I still believe is worth about $9000 USD rather than the $4500USD that I paid).

>>55666511
Isn't there some electric/chemical process to deoxidize the black stuff?

>>55666529 I used a sponge it was old dust and tarnish, literally shiny inside afterwards.
>>55666517 Never tried asking bullion dealers about their melt bin, probably nothing but low quality chains but honestly might be worth pairing with crappy pendants and overselling to grandmas online for extra. Thanks for the idea on that one, and yes gold is safe usually in jewelry form for travel on person, not in non carry-on luggage, and try for big pieces as the bag checkers and fellow passengers might try to grab a small piece in a tray or you might miss it due to size while being busy dealing with airport security screening, this is where size matters.

you'd be surprised what gets melted. there's a guy in watch forum that said he got a bunch of the gold 18k mega quartz constellation watches for around melt from a bullion dealer that was going to melt them.

Its easy for people to say that they'd get them but not that many people have cash on hand if a dealer says "I'm going to melt this mint condition omega but you can have it for melt if you give me 18,000 USD in the next 24 hours"

2,004.93 / 29.73 = 1 : 67.44 GSR post premiums
I believe the ratio should be between 1:8 and 1:20, so I’ll stack silver till it narrows up and when it happens I’ll swap into gold.

I've crossed 1000 but I still feel poor. I'm planning 1000 in just silver.

Well, lead is quite dangerous. Fuel containing even minuscule amounts of it is currently banned worldwide. Let alone 60% of it.
We'll see how it goes.

>>55668316
Lead isn’t as bad as what it’s made out to be. You don’t want to burn large quantities of it in enclosed areas, or ingest paint sanding dust from it. So long as you aren’t bringing it into your respiratory or digestive track you will be fine. People have been working with lead for tens of thousands of years.

That being said there are serious issues with children who have eaten lead paint chips.

Imagine a Tesla with 60% lead in its electronics randomly setting on fire.

You'll go from majority copper to 40% copper. We'll all lose.

the problem with bullion is the premiums.
I have to pay extra to buy, I have to pay extra to sell. who makes profit? the coin-shop owner.

silver eagles at monument down to $5 over spot.. i might pick some up.

>>55668492
Forget about bullion.
There are no premiums on Deutsche Marks. You even get copper for free on top. It's a steal.

>>55668492
You have paid a premium on every item you have ever purchased from a company in your life. That's how companies make money, they charge you more than they paid to buy or manufacture the item.

>Premiums only go up!
hahahahahha

>>55668470
Lead isn’t responsible for equipment failure, and a flaming Tesla has a lot more to worry about than trace amounts of lead.

>>55667234
You know the last paper talking about room-T° superconductor have been entirely deboonked, right?
Plus i don't see how it has any impact on silver whatsoever..

Ooophmf. Very impressive purchase fren. It's the first time i see this brand on a bar, "BGASC", where does it comes from?

Never thought I'd see the day Asahi rounds were about the same price as ASE's

What do you think about the saying:

Ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ IRSς IRSι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ

Render unto IRS the things that are IRS's, and unto God the things that are God's.

Good time to swap rounds for eagles.

Buy Gold and Silver Coins. First online bullion dealer I ever bought from and still buy from. Also switched to SD for deals at one point until I realized they don't take my CC and have limits.

>>55653281
I want to purchase a few silver bars, but how do I know which is the right one?
>some bars are different prices, even if they share the same oz
>stamps add or subtract value?
>other variables
I wish I could just walk into a silver store, purchase a plain bar of silver, and then leave. Online shopping doesn't bode well with me.

>>55653281
Wtf that image!?
How CENTS are better than DOLLARS?? You need at least 100 cents to get to 1 dollar and imagine buying something worth $1000+

>I want to purchase a few silver bars, but how do I know which is the right one?
>>some bars are different prices, even if they share the same oz
What do you mean by "right"? That aside, it should be a fine silver (99.9% or finer) bar. After that, it's a matter of provenance and taste. There are some brands that cost more because of reputation, (Englehard, JMatthey) or some highly polished bars (Germania). Kids here really like Asahi (for no particular reason I can discern). I prefer coin bars (those gov't-issued with a face value stamped), especially if they have a nice design (such as the St. Helena ship bars).

>>stamps add or subtract value?
If it's a coin and has that stamp, that adds a level of authenticity and might carry an extra premium (price above spot value).

>>other variables
Generally speaking, the larger the bar the less (percent) you'll pay in premium.

>I wish I could just walk into a silver store, purchase a plain bar of silver, and then leave.
You should be able to. Try a coin shop. Many jewelers do too, but my experience they're always marked up much more.

>>55670109
Thanks for responding. I suppose I'll order from kitco. Where should I store my silver afterwards?
I'd entrust it to the bank if it weren't [current year].

>>55670153
Get a treasure chest and a safe obviously

>>55670185
Already have one, but it's just cash and important certificates. Is a good safe burglar proof?

>>55670208
nothing is burglar proof. any safe can be broken into with the right equipment

>>55670153
>from kitco
Umm... hold off on that. Do some shopping around.
Check the OP post for recommended dealers. I was assuming you literally wanted to walk into a shop. For lowest prices on generic bars, I'd say MonumentMetals or SDBullion or LibertyCoin. Keep in mind they have a minimum for free shipping (usually $200), and it's cheaper if you pay by check (but slow - you have to send a check, it has to clear, then it's shipped), ACH (electronic check - faster because you're not sending a check via snail mail), or ecoin (fast I guess, but a little pricier), or credit card/PayPal (fastest, most expensive).

Storage: depends where/how you live. If you have roommates (at uni/college), store it at home. If you think tarnish is ugly, keep it wrapped air tight (that's why all the plastic in my first pic). As you collect more, storage may become an issue.

>>55670240
This.
Most of all, keep it hidden, keep it secret.

where did anonymint went? havent seen him in a long time

>>55670243
Found a shop selling 10 and 100 oz. It's reviews are better than other dealers in my area, but how can I be sure they don't smelt and sell?
>>55670271
noted

>>55670509
He was here last week. He said he has had pretty bad depression lately and been trying to smoke it away with weed.

>>55670153
Late night woods gardening, freezer in meat wrappers, in your fucking walls. Anywhere really, If you don't hold it, you don't own it

>>55670570
thanks for the update, sounds like he is just like me

>>55670599
No problem, yea sounds like they are in a funk, happens to everyone from time to time. He said they are still shooting for late August or September I believe for the crusaders. I think anyway, some other anon may remember better for the exact time frame he gave.

>>55670509
he was here a few threads ago.

love that anonymint ships internationally which is fuckin sick because none of these big dealers have the balls to do it. wishing him the best.

Fuck the depressed and nonoptimistic. Life is awesome!

Still no word on the pic related coin. Was that anonymint or a different one?

Why would they?
That's getting into foil hat territory.

>>55670570
>trying to smoke it away with weed.
Kek... That's not what he said.
He said the weeds were getting to him - literally. Like there was an overwhelming amount of yard work to do and it was just more pressure.

Not yard work, meant in a way of laying down and letting nature overtake

>>55671177
Sick that's great to hear anon :>

>>55671153
My bad, I was thinking he said he was trying to smoke the depression away.

>>55671476
