Why do scammers and scam victims post pictures of shiny rocks? They post the same pics in every thread maybe moving the tranime figurines or their hormone tablets around

Scammers post pics to trigger low IQ antisemitic reptile impulses 'must aquire shiny rock must take hormones must give my money to the people I hate'

Scam victims post pictures to be part of the community ( of scam victims!) like "look at me like me fellow losers I bought the current thing too like me please like me guys I bought rock" to try to acquire status, gotta keep up with the Joneses.

These are scambots they do this at the start of every thread

It really is this simple, bros :-)

Pre-drunken gold from a few weeks ago.

>>56511492
This scambot is run by mintscamanon. He shills for silver shitcoins all day with his trip fag off then turns it on to scam disgruntled youths and charges them only a 368% premium because he role-playing as their FREN. Lmao.

Here he goofed by leaving his tripfag on. Cmon mintscamanon you are better than this

This scambot, also run by mintscamanon, pretends to be a tranny and always includes tranime figurines and tranny pills in its p0sts. It seeks to capture the attention (and life force) of the 62% of zoomies who are lgbt or allies and get them to fall for the silver scam to harvest all their McPaychecks keeping them rentoids for life. SMART! and WEF approved!

Mintscamanon is a good bidnessman and deserves our respect and your premiums. Please support him by purchasing his rounds on which according to the experts he only makes a tiny profit margin (368% and rising) because of er something or other.

This scambot also run by MintScamAnon larps as a pirate. Every guy loves a pirate! showing , once again, MintScamAnons prowess as a bidnessman, capturing the 21% of zoomie generation who have manly qualities (and more importantly their weekly allowances from mommy). "Hey fellow pirates" I store my silver shit tokens (which you will buy from me with a 368% premium thank you very much) in a pirate chest. Buy shiny rocks now the images command you

>>56511861

>>56511520
As you can see he posts multiple 'treasure chests' from this scambot, which like "Bob's" Spanish dobloon ashtrays (pirate adjacent) are just poorly made junk from Wuhan "I only paid $299 for this but like the 368% markup on my rounds it's totally worth it for my pirate treasure errrrr matey

>>56511469

>>56511550
Notice the tranny scambot, run by mintscamanon, also has a pirate chest, mintscamanon doesn't usually slip up but he occasionally does. We still respect him though but encourage him to do better and harvest more premiums

Change insurance providers every 2 years. They will continue to go up indefinitely. I was with one company for like 6 years straight and despite having no tickets or accidents, ever, it kept going up every cycle. Switch to another company and pay half of what I was paying. Customer loyalty kills price competition. If it goes any direction other than down, switch.

I sent my agent a shitty email. Tired of paying extra for TV commercials and other garbage.

>>56512368
I will look into that 6 months from now. I looked around at a few this time and they were all comparable. One of the reasons premiums are up (other than inflation) is that post-lockdown, car wrecks are way way way up. Retards forgot how to drive. Since covid, I have had my vehicle hit 3 times while parked or stopped at a red light!

>>56512848
Yep, it helps to have a captive audience, like here at pmg for example. kektop remember that time when MintScamAnon raised his premiums from 268% to 368%? Lmao good times, "Bob" claims its reasonable though so yall should keep buying the frog tokens they are sure to go up in value (slightly lower than inflation)

>>56511469
what are the ethics if, say, i bought a used car from a friend and i found a potentially valuable coin?

>>56512949
what coin? does he collect coins? i'd definitely give it back if it is something like that.

>>56512397
All puny eagles must kneel before king Condor

>>56512901
That fucking thing will be impossible to move once it’s full, my friend. I pray you’ll concrete it into the floor before it becomes a permanent fixture. Or you could just empty it out once full into smaller containers to hide elsewhere.

>>56512959
it's one of these

>>56512969

>>56512998
what year, some of them are pretty cheap and others, like your picture shows, aren't. but i would definitely give that back. i was thinking maybe you were talking silver pocket change he wouldn't have known about.

How do I get exposure to rhodium as a US citizen? The only ETF i found is in South Africa.

>>56512949
If he's a collector and it's a coin that he bought then lost and still misses then give it back to your fren. If some randomfag passenger of his or the owner prior to him lost it then I'd keep it. If it's a coin he got as a gift or found on the ground and never really cared about then it depends how much you respect and value this friend.

>>56513018
1912, has a g under the head, non-magnetic, passes the ping test so I'm sure it's actually silver. I don't really know how to differentiate this specific coin between the cheap ones and the pricy one in my screenshot.
That said, the friend is a fellow pm collector, sold me the car which was packed full of trash, and moved out of state. Never mentioned losing any coins in the years I've known him. I probably should give it back, even though I don't want to.

>>56513069
>sold me the car which was packed full of trash
Then the coin is your payment for having to deal with that shit. If I were to see a vehicle to a friend I'd clean it first. A dealership is another story...

Yeah, selling you a car full of trash and grime you had to clean out is a bit different, I think it's fair to keep it.

>>56513431
yes, it's a scarab made out of a melted ASE. Just a second I'll post the rocks that go with it.

>>56513449
you just have big chunks of silver ore sitting in your driveway or wat

>>56513418
Those cheeky spools of solder are a nice touch lmao. I have an ounce of Silver Oxide in an old jar floating around, guess that counts too. QRD on the nugget and quartz piece in the box? Detected native silver or more of the local argentiferous sulfide ore like the chunks above?

I get to pretend to be Bob this weekend.

>>56513465
yes. I live in one of the world's greatest silver producing districts. We have high grade silver ore sitting all over the place. It's pretty, but it also has a lot of lead in it and lead is toxic. So most of my best and biggest chunks are outside. I'd take a pic for you but we have a couple feet of snow on the ground right now.

here's the bug. Pic didn't really capture the green of the malachite. But whatever. It's a scarab I cast out of an ASE back when silver eagles were like $5 each.

>>56513482
I've told the nugget story before.

a creek some distance from my house was once the site of a lost silver mine. Incredibly rich, never found.

I used to hunt arrowheads by that creek. One time I found that nugget in the creek. I thought it was a melted pop can until I picked it up and felt how heavy it is. It's a silver nugget, about an ounce. It is down low on the creek near where the lost silver mine was supposed to be.

much higher up the creek some more recent silver mines existed. So I don't know if the nugget is from those higher mines or from a lower mine that hasn't been found. Or if in fact the "lost mine" is the same as those upper mines. It's an interesting thing, and I spend a day or two every summer looking for the source of that nugget.

>>56513482
the quartz bit is gold ore, but runs hundreds of ounces per ton silver so I tossed it in there.

What should I get next?

>>56513552
A full tube of coins, or a 500g bar.

>>56513205

Find some weird niche category to get into; junk Canadian 80% or Franklin halves or reichmarks or anything.

Can I get things like this graded, what do?

>>56513520
From a lost Spanish colonial era mine? The nug looks pretty worn and rounded so unless it spent a lot of time churning around in a bedrock pothole in the creek I suspect it traveled, but you have a lot more experience. In your hunts for the lost mine have you metal detected other nuggets from the same general ore system? I bet they're worth a decent bit to collectors, chunky native silver nuggets that aren't from Ontario or Michigan don't seem too common. I need to find or buy myself a few specimens someday, they're quite cool.

>>56513552
A few ancient Roman silver ships probably wouldn't mind joining your fleet

>>56513715
yeah, you should be able to get that grade. it's a medal, right? i would try to find it on the pcgs or ngc site first, but they're able to grade most of the german ones i've found.

>>56513720
It wasn't spanish era that I know of, but it could've been since mexicans were mining in Colorado back when US people started moving in. Several of our best mines were Spanish mines first.

The way the story goes, this miner was working up on Weston Pass back in the 1860's, a good 15 years before silver was discovered in the area. Leadville was a gold camp at the time, called Oro City. So this old dude would wander into Oro City a couple times a year with a small wagon loaded with chunks of raw native silver. He'd sell it off and head back south to his mine. People tried to follow him but lost the trail each time. At that time there wasn't a road up Weston Pass, so he just disappeared into the trees. One day he stopped coming. Nobody knew what happened to the guy.

A few years later silver was discovered and the town of Leadville sprung up. A road was built over Weston Pass, and the entire valley was pretty well prospected. Way up high at the top of the pass a handful of rich silver mines were discovered and worked. But nobody believed those were the old man's silver mine because the ore wasn't that rich, there was no sign he worked those high mines, and it would've been damn near impossible to get a wagon up there before the roads went in.

So yeah. A lot of people have searched low for that lost silver mine. There's prospect pits up and down that valley. But it's also remote wilderness with some places people literally never go. I go to those places, looking.

I haven't detected the creek for more silver, I'm more interested in where it came from than finding more of the little bits that washed down. I suspect there maybe be some very rich silver mines low on that road. I like to think there might be. And yeah, they'd probably sell for a bit of cash, but I don't usually sell the stuff I find anyways so I'd never get rid of it.

I have another ~20 pounds of raw melted silver sitting out in the garage with an interesting story. I'll see if I can find it

>>56513739
Yes they are medals. Can’t find any of these in their census.

>>56513780
I love these lost treasure/mine stories, thanks for sharing Bob. If you haven't detected the creek, have you detected elsewhere in the area looking for more native silver clues to help narrow your search? Are you specifically looking for evidence of the oletimer's prospect pit or just an exposure of the same ore body?

>>56513884
Over the years I've gotten good at spotting old workings and old cabins. So I haven't used a detector up there except one time at a large cabin and mine I found of about the right age and location to be our missing mine.

Detecting would work I suppose, but looking for ore and veins and such is actually easier without the detector most places. That silver would stand out like a sore thumb if it's exposed on the surface. And if it's back in a mine somewhere it's going to be even easier to find.

Let me see if I can find the bottle we found up there on one of our hunts. It was with a few other blob top sodas of about the right age....

32 years ago it was illegal to own krugs in the US

this whole buying metals as an investment thing is pretty new. It was mostly illegal when your parents were kids.

>>56513963
So is the motivation behind your quest more the satisfaction and prestige generated by solving the mystery, or the desire to stake a claim (if possible) and mine some high-grade specimen silver? And yes please post the bottle, 1860s glass should be noticeably different than the post-1870s stuff you usually find.

>>56514471
>12 years ago it was illegal to own silver and gold in china
lmao where do you guys get this stuff? Is this some kind of boomer lore, or are you just trolling?

>>56514495
It's going to take me a few hours to find the blob top. It was found with that bottle I posted though. I can't say the name of the bottle, 4chan thinks it's spam. But it was just that bottle in the pic and a couple of blob tops. I'll do some digging in a bit.

I look for that mine because from the stories and from that nugget I found, it should be pretty much raw metalic silver. Worth a fortune without any of the EPA crap that applies to the other mines I own. I would expect to get rich. Well more rich. Wouldn't hurt any to find a vein of raw silver a few miles from my house, right?

>>56514497
just going off what the internets say and what I remember.

just because they were making coins doesn't indicate their people were allowed to own them.

>>56514525
Anon, stop spreading misinformation. It's okay not chime in on issues you know nothing about. China has been minting the gold and silver panda coins since 1982 and they've been hugely popular with Chinese citizens ever since they started. Pic related, it's him.

Before 2006, China only allowed certain people to own coins and bars of precious metals.

Don't think they gave out silver ones for Lizzy's coronation, just handed out these bronze tokens, can almost read Chucks inlay, shame they just repeated the same thing.

>>56513552
Maybe an old sea map to lay them out on :D

In 2004 C.E. the CCP was still executing married couples if they had gold or even silver wedding bands. And then the dog ate the couple and the police man shot the dog and ate the dog and then he got run over by a tank. That's why I love my freedom in USA. Simple as.

Ah, not sure but that torpedo doesn't quite look 1860s, it appears to have an applied versus just a tooled lip though which would make it pretty early for the area unless it's an import from England instead of an American bottle. Britbong glassblowing skills lagged a bit behind the craft here and they took their time implementing the improvements developed after 1860.

Heh that would be the dream man, if you find it can I come work for you? I was thinking that the EPA would have a harder time shitting on someone mining pure silver versus galena, that's definitely a plus. Would you mine it strictly for its commodity value or try extracting and prepping huge specimens to sell at a fat premium to rich collectors and museums? Any idea what form the old miner's chunks were in, did he get some sweet crystalline or wire stuff or just amorphous chonks?

I'd still let him know you found it. You paid for the car, not the coin. Regardless of the cars condition. As he's a friend and a fellow pm collector, I'm sure he'll appreciate the gesture. Not to mention he'll have that much more trust in you for being honest.

>not sure but that torpedo doesn't quite look 1860s
thank you, this is exactly the sort of knowledge I'm after. The date range on the mine story is anything from 1860 to about 1878 when the road was built, but I imagine if the story is true it took place earlier rather than later.

here's a pic of the neck of one of the blob tops. The cork is still present and I hesitate to remove it as it won't go back in. I'll post another pic of the bottom. The blobtop has 2 seams, a large W on a slightly concave base, and the bottom glass is quite uneven going from about an eight of an inch to maybe three eighths on the other side.

I'm not necessarily invested in this particular spot as being the mine site, as I didn't find any silver there. But it's a possibility unless the glass rules it out.

no info on the nature of the silver the miner was getting aside from it being native metal. Despite the Leadville district producing huge nuggets of native metal from mines, nuggets are NOT common here. Basically never happen in the Leadville area on the surface. So that native silver nugget is an extremely rare thing for our area, and gets my heart pumping a little. I'll try to get a better pic of the thing. It's really cool.

I would definitely sell specimens, and I'd love to have /pmg/ running the thing. Most here would be pocketing silver chonks all day.

aside from the torpedo and a couple blobtops all we found were steel cans with lead soldered seams and end plugs. Could date anywhere from the early 1860's to the early 1900's

a silver mine that we can actually do something with would be fun to have.

The 'W" is probably the initial of the bottling or brewing company, helpful and visible to people returning/accepting them for deposits as they were stored and shipped in special crates upside-down to keep the corks or closures wet and sealed. It also seems to have an applied lip where the blowpipe was snapped off the neck and a blob of glass was wrapped around the sharp jagged opening and then tooled, versus the later tooled style where no additional separate bits of glass were needed to form the lip/top finish. The difference is pretty clear when you look closely at the bottom side of the top and see the seam line of the bottle disappear under the blob, and at the stark contrast where the horizontal concentric circular lines made when the bottle was spun around as the top was tooled clash against vertical stretch-marks (or a simple lack of marks) on the neck. Applied tops/lips fell out of favor by the early 1880s and are atypical after 1885. Hard to tell what closure/retainer it had but the rust and the remnants of the cork make me think it had a Putnam cork retainer, used from around 1860 to the mid 1880s. The seam line going across the base and curving under the "W" suggests it was made in a 2-piece "Key Mold" which largely fell out of favor by around 1875, so that helps narrow the potential date of production back before your ~1878 cutoff. Unfortunately the significant wear indicates it was reused numerous times so it may have been tossed some time after that, but it's still a promising find so I think the area is worth combing through.

>>56514626
One last pic, a close up of the nugget. I suck at taking macro shots with a phone, sorry.

some pale green-blue rock is visible on the left and in a couple other places on the nugget. I first thought it was an aluminum can melted around some blue plastic or bubble gum. When I got it home under a lens I saw the blue is soft rock with copper mineral and veins of silver running through it.

the silver is pretty well flattened and rounded by tumbling, but the fact that the soft rock is still there indicates to me that it didn't travel far. Probably not the several miles to the nearest known silver mine.

regarding the cabin location, it was a large cabin indicating someone planned to stay there a long time. But the trash pile is tiny, consisting of about 6 bottles, mostly broken, and a handful of cans. So it wasn't occupied long, and probably only one person. The mine is a large glory hole or prospect pit about 50 feet across and 30 feet deep. It is caved in as it was dug through sandy soil. The mine is located maybe a thousand yards from where I found the nugget, on the ridge directly above it. Probably the most interesting thing about that mine site is it's never been claimed. But I don't know if that's where the silver came from. It just happens to be a rather large mine with a cabin that was probably lived in for less time than it took to build it, and it's directly uphill from the nugget location.

>>56515449
Thank you so much! This is indeed in the date range at least by manufacture if not in actual use.

Yeah, that sure sounds and looks like special piece! Do I see silver crystals that were protected from erosion in the recess in the middle of the left half? I bet that to the right person your nugget is worth enough of a premium to give IQDELET an instantaneous aneurysm. The source of that piece is clearly worth your continued searching, good luck! I'd like to hunt for chunks of silver that fell off the stamp/crushing mill conveyor lines of copper/silver mines up in Michigan, or metal detect the Ontario silver mine dumps for chunks of uber high-grade, but Leadville is a lot closer to me so sniffing around your area in hopes of an ore specimen for the collection is probably the way to go, have you heard of any mine dumps that are still accessible/not reclaimed where actual native silver might possibly be found?

crypto nerds will seethe

>>56515669
>Do I see silver crystals that were protected from erosion in the recess in the middle of the left half?
The rock is rotten quartz and feldspar in granite. So the cubic stuff you're seeing is shattered quartz with copper stain and tiny silver crystals all around and through it. This is another reason I don't think it traveled far- the granite in the nugget is only found low on the road, not at the high mines.
>I bet that to the right person your nugget is worth enough of a premium to give IQDELET an instantaneous aneurysm.
we can only hope! lmao kektop
>The source of that piece is clearly worth your continued searching, good luck!
Thanks, from what you tell me regarding the bottles I may have found it. Applied lips are not common in my area and I've never seen another torpedo. Leadville dates a bit later than those I think.
>Leadville is a lot closer to me so sniffing around your area in hopes of an ore specimen for the collection is probably the way to go, have you heard of any mine dumps that are still accessible/not reclaimed where actual native silver might possibly be found?
not native silver, but that silver bearing galena I posted upthread is all over the place.

the silver I mentioned in my garage that I need to dig for is an interesting story though. I was detecting on the dump of a large silver refinery located by a major silver mine, and found about 20 pounds of smelted silver that had spilled or splashed and then got swept out with the garbage. Looks like melted solder, but it's tarnished black instead of white like lead does. I'll have to dig it out of a bucket of junk and take a pic.

nice copper you got there, where's that one from?

>>56515669
if for some reason we don't talk again, the easiest places to gather silver-lead off the surface are on the Iron Silver Mining Company mines up California Gulch past the Yak Tunnel. Specifically the A.Y. and Minnie Mines next to the road. Just littered with silver. All private property, but a road and a bike trail run right through them so you can find silver ore in the public right of way if you don't want to trespass a bit like the locals do.

County road 2, up past the water treatment plant. You can't miss it, the valley very suddenly turns into about a mile of huge mine dumps on both sides.

>>56515669
also I never say this on 4chan, but you're one person I'd be thrilled to give a tour of the ghost towns and mine dumps to. I know all the rock spots, and bottle spots, and token spots. I would be proud to show the place off if you ever want. Not this year though, we got a shitload of snow now and it's gonna be here for a while.

>>56515669
>to the right person your nugget is worth enough of a premium to give IQDELET an instantaneous aneurysm
What kind of premiums we are talking about to your opinion?
Thanks to you and Panman i was aware gold nuggets could carry a decent premium, but i didn't expect silver to be the same. I mean, at first sight this rock >>56515494 doesn't look very beautiful, at least to the non-initiated eye.

Also i was wondering if nugget collecting was an US (+ AUS + CA i suppose) only hobby? I guess due to your prospection and mining history, but i couldn't find any similar market niche over here in EU after a quick search. Only gems and stuff like that.

>>56515879
My silver nugget looks like a turd, weighs about an ounce, and would probably sell for a couple hundred dollars here in Colorado. Not that I'd ever sell it, but it's worth a bit more to a rock collector than the metal alone is.

>>56515897
>sell for a couple hundred dollars here in Colorado
Seriously? That's much more than i expected

>>56515932
yeah, silver nuggets are quite a bit more rare than gold nuggets in my area at least. The silver in our area is usually in the form of silver/lead carbonate, so native metal isn't that common here. Maybe more common in Arizona or Mexico, but not so much in the US.

native silver specimens of any sort sell for hundreds here. Wires and crystals are the most prized, but nuggets command some high prices as well.

That said, Leadville had a handful of silver minerals that can only be found here, and those often sell for thousands of dollars. Not that I've ever found any sitting out on mine dumps, but some people get lucky.

>>56515732
>So the cubic stuff you're seeing is shattered quartz with copper stain and tiny silver crystals all around and through it. This is another reason I don't think it traveled far- the granite in the nugget is only found low on the road

OK I think I see it now thanks for recalibrating my eye, that nug is primo!

>>56515732
>Applied lips are not common in my area and I've never seen another torpedo.

Oletimer local digger/collectors would know whether or not those torpedoes held a product consumed regularly in town, but if you've never seen others that's a promising sign. I'd look harder for another rubbish dump area but if the big cabin was in fact only used for a short time that would support the abrupt disappearance aspect of the story, have you dug in the footprint of the cabin to see if it was burned down or to glean other clues?
>found about 20 pounds of smelted silver that had spilled or splashed and then got swept out with the garbage.
Damn that's interesting indeed, was the silver from just 1 little area or single wagonload or did you find splatters all throughout the dump? Mostly smaller bits or did you find some big splats too? You probably have better things to do but I'd be dry-panning trying to collect even the smallest stuff, the prospect of free silver is quite motivating.
Copper nugget is a 9.6oz piece of glacial float dragged down from Michigan which I found in an Illinois creek, due to the brilliant green color I thought it was melted plastic but after digging it out the density proved otherwise. I panned some fine glacial gold from that same creek last year, so now it's time to find some silver there!

Reading through Bob's adventures has me wondering if there's anything on my property. There's an old silver mine a few miles away from me in a local park. The mineshaft itself used to be fenced off and pretty deep apparently, but around the early 90's the county filled it in to keep the kids and explorers out.

Anyway that old mineshaft is directly on top of a hill. My property is on top of a hill. Are there any geological maps or resources for the eastern US that might help me determine if I should dig a hole somewhere in my backyard?

$2k seems to be the current resistance level. I say buy what you want, but if you're concerned about future premiums, buy low premium silver now and swap it for gold later. This $1ish an oz on silver is not going to last for much longer. It's only marginally more expensive to buy an equivalent spot amount of silver than gold RN.

What state? There were some small-scale silver/lead mines in the east back in the 18th-mid 19th century which exploited hydrothermal silver-bearing galena (PbS) ore and there are plenty of resources available if you search online. You could start with https://thediggings.com/ and https://www.mindat.org/ and also search the web for old geological reports for your region. I doubt the galena actually contained much silver, not like the rich ore found out west, and I highly doubt your backyard hole would happen to strike a vein, but hiking around your area looking for sulfide minerals could be fun if not particularly lucrative. You might have better luck panning for gold, it's rarely concentrated enough to be economically viable but trace amounts can be found all over the place.

I've run the torpedo past a few local digger friends. Nobody I'd met had dug one here, but they've seen them at shows and digging other places. One of them really wanted it so I gave it to him.
I did dig in the floor of the cabin because there were a couple tins setting off the detector inside the walls. No signs the cabin burned. Also no signs of a metal roof or metal nails so the cabin was a bit older or less finished than normal for that area.
Interestingly we found 2 arrowheads near the cabin, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything since there are arrowheads all over that area. It sparks the imagination though.
That's a really cool copper find! I love that moment of realization when the trash you picked up turns out to be treasure!
Regarding the spilled silver, it was lots of different sizes, spread out mostly on the surface of the dump, over an area of about 20x30ft or so. My detector would find that stuff pretty deep, so I don't think there's more in the top foot or so at least. Maybe more deeper, but I can't be bothered to dig for it.
Yes, you have very likely encountered one or more of my ebay accounts, though the items I sell there tend to get resold a few times by others. But you know enough about my inventory to pick me out of the bunch.
If we go on walkabout you keep anything you find. I feel bad if I take someone out there and they don't get some cool souvenirs.

Oh I forgot
regarding looking for a bigger dump, we detected and probed out to about 50 feet from the cabin, didn't find anything.

there may be a larger midden deep underground though. I didn't see signs of an outhouse, but it's possible one was on the site and we missed it. Potentially a much larger collection of trash there if that was the case. Dude had to be shitting somewhere.

>>56515994
The tins in the floor of the cabin were almost 2 feet deep, a pretty good depth of soil for the presumed age of the site. Same with the cans and bottles outside the cabin. A bit deeper than is typical for my area, perhaps indicating an older site.

Also trees have grown up inside the cabin to heights I'd expect from an 1860's or 70's abandonment. Most of the old cabins up there don't have trees growing in the remains. This one was forested over with aspen and pine.

cool pic showing the knobby nature of the native silver on the exterior of the nugget. It's not solid silver. Just a bit of extremely rich float that got tumbled a bit. Maybe half metal, half rock.

>>56521051
For instance a total weight goal for gold and silver. Not a minimum but threshold that is cozy.

>>56520727
300 ozt silver would be a rich amount of silver.
75 ozt Au would be an unreasonably similar goal. Unreasonable? Sort of. Although there is much less of the stuff than silver, most of it is held as a store of value, rather than industrial use. This implies a few things: Ag has a potential for a greater increase in value as industrial needs consume it, but gold is more readily recognized as a de facto standard for exchange. It's also easier to transport/exchange as its worth is more concentrated. So if you go by the prices, about 3+ ozt gold is reasonable.
Then there's the question of what you can *afford*. It doesn't do you good to hold everything in PMs and then have to sell some back for emergency payments (medical, repairs, travel...). So I'm assuming you have a buffer of cash as well.

You could target 1000oz silver and cool it on the gold. Keep your 6 month cash expense. That’s still in keeping with 20% allocation.

>>56511469
fuck what are "they" doing to silver spot price?

>>56521878
If it’s short term, it’s Naked short selling as always. If it’s long term then it’s bearish sentiment towards silver. It will come back up soon when tutes unwind. Suppressing metals is beneficial for the dollar. They need all the good press they can get, I’d be willing to pay quite a bit to suppress metals right now if I was Gov or Gov-adjacent. If boomers would just take possession of the silver they “own” then we could have some real fun.

>>56521878
I hope it keeps going down. I want sub-$20 oz for a little while longer. At least until I hit 250oz

>>56520727
It's a question of strategy. Say you buy gold and you want to balance it against other assets such as ETF or property.
You would put it all into a balance sheet and then sell ETF when they grow much higher than the planned allocation. If gold explodes you sell gold and buy ETF.
The idea is that ETF and gold are anticyclic to each other, if ETF are down because there is a crisis or recession, gold is up, if ETF are up because there is a boom, gold is down. Balancing twice or so per year allows you to buy the dips and sell the tops.
This works fine if you have a lot of time to stay invested, like decades.

Pretty honest, it's pretty much the prices i've seen elsewhere too as of late.
Good opportunity for the LCS to refill a bit before the next leg up.

What's wrong with the maple?

>>56522054
I appreciate the portfolio theory fren. That was a nice explanation.

>>56522499
Not giving gold away under spot especially a maple. That’s absurd

>>56521305
Neat chart.
No stacker here. Looking to stack silver once I'm employed.

>>56522511
It's important to remember we currently are knees deep in the twilight zone though. Those historic inverted-bets are no longer valid.
Historically, gold and USD/treasury coupons were always antinomic, yet lately we have seen both go down or up in pair.
In total clownworld you lose all your landmarks.

>>56522527
yeah, they probably consider they have enough maples in stock for the moment, so they give an unattractive buy back price.

>>56522371

First child was born recently. Planning to buy him 12oz a year, done in each quarter. Doing so until I give him the total chest when he’s married or another massive milestone

Also when is silver mooning? I WANT TO SAY

>smoll 1988 gold panda
Pandabro I see you are also a stacker of fine taste.

>>56522839
Jeez, how many panda puffs boxes did you open this week?

Reminder that the Chinese government pays people to shill pandas for a month or so around release each year.

>>56522800
God I wish they were me.

>>56522852
Oh man, you have no idea! I went back to the store to get another delicious box.

>>56522857
I believe it because it kinda came out of nowhere.

>>56522911
Yeah it's really something. Good thing nothing gets past us stackers who are real good at noticing things and going hmmmm.

So anyways, I got this new box of Panda Puffs home and I can't wait to see what free panda coin it has inside!

>>56522867
>>56522964
Wait they're giving out fake coins in cereal boxes?

>>56522997
Not fake - real! I got a 1/4 ounce gold panda in my box this weekend. And wow! It looks like I got a silver coin in today's box. Cool!

>>56522997
wtf did you just say about me you little shitsqueek?

>>56523016
It's okay pandabro. Calm down and havr a little something to eat. You're not yourself when you're hungry.

Wow, would you look at that. I got the 2008 1 ounce silver panda! Thank you organic Panda Puff cereal! Not only is this delicious breakfast cereal part of my balanced diet, but now it's also a part of my panda stacking strategy. I can't wait get another box soon and see what free panda coin is waiting for me inside!

>>56523057
Why does it have a Panda Express logo? Trademark infringement, reported to the IPR

>>56523013
I'm finding this very hard to believe.
What country, BTW?

>>56523125
looks like usa from the in store pic. i was thinking this was another country. i haven't been down the cereal isle in a long time

>>56523098
>Why does it have a Panda Express logo?

The same reason the cereal aged past its "Best By" date the better part of a year ago; because panda stackers possess neither good taste nor an attention for detail.

Why do you do this everytime???

>>56521036
Yeah, I realized as soon as I picked it up that it wasn't an aluminum can from a campfire, but I didn't know what it was. When I hauled it out of the stream it was completely shiny, no black.

I realized it was silver only after it sat in a box for a few weeks and started to tarnish black on the lower, more porous surfaces. So your first impression is right, the darker areas are tarnished metal. I could polish it but figure the less I mess with it the better.

thanks for your thoughts on trash disposal. The thing is located on a ridge, so my search area for tossed trash would have to be downhill. I'll give it a look next year.
>they probably didn't want hungry bears or big cats smelling then scavenging soup bones and whatnot right next to the cabin.
makes perfect sense, I hadn't thought of that.

Well /pmg/ I hope you all have a happy Halloween.

>>56523334

He's always wrong, too. Bump limit is 309 responses, and that still doesn't stop the thread. He just likes baking, and has a down day when someone takes his toy away. Hell, last thread was like 20 below bump limit, but I guess thinks if he claims it, it must be true.
Kids. Gotta love 'em.

So... looked it up. Whole Foods. We've got one around here. Will check it out.
