I love Tim and Silver. ❤️ Yankee I’ve watched several of your videos already tonight with Tim and I’m amazed by his clear and straightforward answers to all of your questions; you guy’s discussion about coins has me hooked on the information y’all are sharing.

I'm a Krugerrand guy. The Krugerrand has the distinction of being the first one ounce gold bullion coin. In 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the total market for gold bullion coins. Every time I go to buy bullion silver coins, it seems the silver Krugerrand has the lowest premium of the major bullion coins.
@EAV... Actually, the first one ounce Pure Gold Coin, was a Golden Guinea... Back in the origins of British money. (1690s) The British Pound Sterling was a pound weight (1lb) of Sterling silver (0.925 fine.) The Guinea was 21/- ( 21 shillings). The equivalent of £1.05 post decimalisation. But 300+ years ago, it was a 1oz (16oz = 1lb ) pure gold coin When I was a boy ..a long time ago .. You could still see Gent's Outfitters selling suits for £5 guineas and that all disappeared in 1971 with decimalisation... All preparing us for computers, and digital currencies.

Onzas are fabulous! It’s still an ounce of silver - the coin weighs over an ounce due to the alloy. There are varieties and types of course. Those are 1979 and worth a hair more than the 1980. 1978 onzas are highly collectible as are the 1949 ones. I am happy to take those from Tim if he doesn’t want them!!!
I own several ounces of Silver onzas. I also own several different types of Mexican Silver coins. I love the old stuff. Love old Mexican Silver coins and old Silver rounds. The older the better.
I don’t see anything wrong with stacking sterling silver, to me it’s no different than stacking 90% constitutional. I don’t personally stack it but I can see it’s appeal. I love Tim and silver.
You’re crushing that Canadian monster box Yankee nice work!!💪 and I’d stick to 999 fine sovereign un-slabbed coins and bullion for sure along with 90% constitutional here in the states to keep it simple for stacking! And Tim’s the man of course so why not share the love! I LOVE TIM AND SILVER!
I love Tim and Silver....I thought that it was interesting that Sterling silver (.925) is sort of frowned upon yet we love Junk Silver (.900). The concept is maybe more related to our thoughts on US coinage versus World coinage... I know personally, I've been one to snub my nose at Sterling coins, but give me a walking liberty half and I am thrilled...by the way, I have the same confusing thoughts regarding US Gold Eagles (.9167) and most Sovereigns (.999 or better). The premium for the US gold over world gold is crazy given the difference in purity....yet we pay it without giving it much thought.
Sterling silver flatware got me into silver 3 years ago. Now my family of 5 use sterling, flatware, goblets bowls and the like every day for every meal. Water feels colder in a goblet because silver thermal properties make the goblet cold. Same with ice cream and hot chili. It's a silver meant to be used and enjoyed not left in a box and now a few hundred ounces later it doesn't get old, so much fun. I of course stack bullion now as well but without sterling I would have never even started. It also help "justify" to my wife at first as a "usable" & "practical" purchase and now she loves it as much as I do. Cheers!
On eBay I was able to when piles of silver Canadian time to where I was paying about $20 an ounce, roughly $60 for a 51-piece roll which is still far below spot and has been so it can come in handy if you know how to pick up foreign silver, like when I was getting Philippines 75% silver coins for roughly under a dollar a gram which at that time was cheaper than generic silver being $31-33
Canadian 80% makes up a decent part of my stack. I can get it at a dollar or less over spot at my LCS, so I tend to get a lot. I prefer to stack the Yankee way, and stick to government minted precious metals. I get some generic bars or rounds when they're cheap, but I usually will prefer to pay a little more for sovereign coins.
Canadian 80% silver dollars for spot was one of my weaknesses, one LCS had BU rolls...spot x .6 oz for years....I ended up with close to 500 of them. If they were circulated, I would dump em...but these are BU...so pretty. Like mentioned, still silver...and cheap.
@@mofatjippyfransisco713 I think Tim was saying to stack/buy silver that is more recognizable that way it’s easier to sell. So years from now when we go to sell our silver coins someone will have to calculate the different actual silver weights ACW’s of all the different foreign coins, it is more work for that person(or your loved ones when you pass away). If you can get them at or below spot you will be fine in the end!
Good to see another Canuckian here. Drop by if you like poured silver. I am the pourer from North Central BC. Any chance I get I am on to our 80's. Esp the 1956. As well as being my birth year there were few made......Dean......
I love Tim and Silver! Also enjoy all of your content. Only been stacking since November but have learned a lot from your videos. Loved the video where you shared about your daughter wedding. That’s when I knew that you were someone’s opinion I could trust. God Bless!
Michael, thanks SO much. Yeah, that was a tough video and a tough time. Now she's been happily married for two years. What a sweet couple. So happy for her, and I've adjusted. Just in time too...I think I'll be walking my other daughter down the aisle in the not too distant future. And my son Lil Stacks goes off to University this fall. 😭😭😭😭😭
I really enjoy watching Yankee stacking u guys have really shed light on the silver and gold industry.. I really appreciate it in these trivial times!! Good people 👍 👏 👌 god bless
It seems like ALL Mexican silver or gold is extra hot right now, but in general I wont look for it but if I see 925 super cheap silver is silver... :) maybe still a hidden gem while junk/constitutional is skyrocketing it may be a hedge against premiums lol...
I love Sterling silver 92.5%. Especially pre 1920 Brit. I also love Canadian 80%. I collect anything north of 72% and with the premiums on US it's just better value right now.
I love Tim & Silver! I think war nickels are worth stacking some of from a fractional/barter perspective since Constitutional Silver premiums are out of control right now.
I know it's got to be WAY too late to get in on this giveaway but regardless, "I love Tim and silver". Well I figure I am already VERY appreciative of Tim's input and education I am getting here and I'm rather fond of silver so the statement still stands, contest or no.
@@soilsolutionshomestead6511 Since this was about 6 months ago I am guessing it's all over. They do things like this from time to time though so you might want to stick around. Besides, Tim is always very informative.
Yankee, the Mexican ONZAs have 1 Troy Ounce of silver per coin despite the .925 percentage of silver content. The total coin weight is 33.6250g including the silver and other alloy metals. No deception in the name. Keep up the vids!
Good to know! But the "deception" was around the purity. However, you are correct in that it contains a full one troy ounce of pure silver...just like a American Gold Eagle at 22 kt is still a full troy ounce of pure gold.
@@YankeeStacking ah yes I see your point. In either case I love these ONZAs and the other Mexico silver bullion and coins. Although they started reducing the silver content through the years the Mexican coinage is one of my favorites. The ONZAs in my local have a significant premium if you can even find them any more. A year or two it wasn’t that way. They sell around here like an American Silver Eagle or more.
I hear what you're both saying, I really don't think a national mint would produce a silver round with the purity and weight clearly stamped and then add the word "pure" with the purpose of misleading people in to believing the piece is made of .999 silver. (no alloy) It says "one troy ounce of pure silver" because, as Yankee said, the gold eagle (and the krugerrand too) do contain a full one troy ounce of "pure" gold while being heavier to compensate for the 22k alloy. Although I can see why both Yankee and Tim find it weird, the inclusion of the word "pure" in a piece made of an inpure/alloy can feel contradictory. (The gold eagle and the krugerrand say "gold", not "pure gold"). In my country, the mint doesn't produce .999 silver, only .925 33.625 silver coins, with face value (legal tender) and the certificate says "the mint guarantees that each coin contains one troy ounce of pure silver", although the coin itself only says "PLATA" "0,925" "33.625g". Might I add, that the mint does not produce bullion, these are "commemorative", proof strike, 5000 limited mintage (per design). (They ran out of stock half a year ago though) The anverse remains the same for all the coins: "Central Reserve Bank of Perú" The government seal, The year, the mint mark, "PLATA" "0,925" "33.625g". Precious Metals Import Tax: 27% + V.A.T.: 18% I'm shifting now to poured 100g bars from a jewelry, I'll have to be extra careful with testing now. Sorry for writing a lot. Cheers!
Buying graded modern bullion PM coins is a marketing scam created by HSN and other shill hucksters selling to ignorant buyers on TV. If UR going to buy PCGS-NGC-ANACS rare or high condition graded numismatic coins, ok, but realize it's a completely diff market. The bullshit marketing of modern mass produced graded bullion is absolute insanity. We stack real money because there's a horrific economic crash coming to the USA and the world. We use PMs as a store of monetary value to use at some time as barter or sell if paper money devalues dramatically. In order for your MS70 graded silver coin to break even with the spot price, the metal has to double or triple just to break even. Who in their right mind is going to pay a 2 or 3x spot graded premium ? People are looking to feed their families, so everything will revert to what people will pay for the metal, not some BS marketed premium. I've been buying silver since the late 60's, made tons of $ on the Hunts and subsequent crash. I had a large pawnshop in the 90's and purchased hundreds of thousands of ounces of silver in bars, flatware and coins. Dealing with hundreds of dealers, smelters and others in the PM industry, the ONLY thing that counts is the price of the base metal, unless it's a rare or high condition numismatic coin. Don't fall for this insane marketing trap by HSN or other retail ripoff. If the time comes where you need to use your silver to buy or trade for food, rent or survive, nobody will consider the rarity or premium of your graded bullion, it will only be worth the current spot price. I even think that graded numismatic coins will suffer a dramatic price drip in a severe economic downturn. Think about it, who in their right mind is going to pay a premium for a stabbed common date silver dollar, if it's 2007-08-09 again ? If your stock or 401k portfolio just dropped 50% and you need to come up with cash to cover your margins, good luck squeezing that graded premium out of someone.
@@nasacollector3676 Thanks, I appreciate someone with your experience taking the time to comment with good information. Years ago I was pushed hard enough to buy an overpriced 3 coin set of eagles, felt like a dumbass ever since.
I love Tim and Silver! I agree with Tim. Another option I have a lot in Canada is Montreal Olympic coins. They are large 925 and you can get them near spot. It is all about the spread. At the end of the day we stuck for the day silver goes way up, so you just want to have the most silver.
Yes, you can get those large (nearly 1.5 oz.) Canadian Olympic coins for a very small premium over melt if you hunt around. I just got my first one recently and hope to get more.
@@YankeeStacking I’m a huge Peter schiff fan. I refer to him as uncle Peter lol. As a millennial, I’m blown away by how many of Kevin’s viewers just write off his advice as boomer talk.
Sterling Silver is awesome , lots off very nice coins are made from .925 silver , you just have much more choise if you like variations in your stack with .925
I love Tim and silver. Awesome video. It is always interesting to watch you guys. Just bought some Commemorative Dollars at a great price. Thanks for the good advices, and have a great weekend!
#1 (7:34) - 92.5% sterling silver coins (conclusion at 8:37 - yes, it's worth stacking) #2 (9:48) - 90.0% U.S. commemorative silver coins (conclusion at 10:53 - yes, but no more worth stacking than Morgan and Peace dollars) #3 (11:05) - 99.9% newer commemorative silver coins (conclusion at 11:12 - no, they are too expensive) #4 (11:56) - 80% foreign silver (conclusion at 12:10 - yes, but only if you're located in that country) #5 (12:35) - 35% war nickles (conclusion at 12:43 - no, it's not enough silver and so they are too hard to sell)
I absolutely love my foreign silver. I "try" to get the highest silver % I can find. But at the same time, I cant turn down any foreign silver.., even the lower silver content ones. But I'm a history "hoarder" and a coin collector and semi-stacker. I love the Maples, and Eagles.., and have a couple dozen of each. However.., they just dont give me the same excitement as holding an old Medieval or Pirate era silver coin does. And most of the time.., I can get the more modern foreign silver for melt and many times.., even below melt. So (to me) that gives me a good deal on silver AND I get the historical aspects to 😉🇺🇲
Had a client who inherited a sterling flatware set. I think it was 12 place settings plus serving utensils. My ballpark estimate is that he had probably 60 ounces of actual silver. He got $1250 from a hock shop, which was roughly 50% of melt value. The hock shop operator was a little bit astonished to see sterling in that amount walk through the door. Most of those types of finds went to the refinery in 2008. Tells me you don't necessarily want to have sterling unless you're going to trade out of it and into .999 or .9999 coins or bars.
Your friend got far less then it was worth because he didn't shop around. Sterling should at minimum bring 75% for non melted, stones included and around 90% if you remove stones and melt into bars. You can usually get sterling spot from private transactions. I buy scrap lots of silver and gold, and usually get a lot of good quality, some never worn pieces that can be resold, quickly for 300%-400% above spot. I use the money from that to buy bullion. The rest I refine or melt into shot and bars, for later refining and long term storage.
You think tim will give you 50 percent off a pre 64 dime because it's only 90 percent silver is silver at spot when it comes down to it I have sterling that 95 percent when there is no silver bet every one will pay way over spot for sterling
Hey, I’ve a question for anyone who can give me some advice, I live in Ireland and the only market I have easy access to is the UK market, the problem is, there is a 20% tax on silver. This takes the price of silver to around £25 per ounce which is about $34 (and that is if I’m buying a tube of 25 Britannia’s, single coins are much more expensive. Also buying eagles and maple leaves can be quite a bit more again). Is it still worth stacking silver at these prices or should I concentrate on stacking gold which does not have this tax here. I do love silver though. I think I’m a bit late but here goes any way 🤣 I love Tim and silver.
I’m probably wrong but I was under the impression that those 1979 onzas were heavier and contained over an ounce of .925 making the silver content equal to a .999 fine coin.
It does contain an ounce of silver but its stil .925 sterling (the other .075) is copper. A refiner won't give you as much as for .999 but who's selling to a refiner! Those are selling for well over spot on Ebay, by about $10. I love em. Yankee f'ed up, he shoulda scooped ALL of em up. All he had to do was say excuse me and checked the market for them. D.A.
The Mexican Onzas do contain the equivalent of one troy ounce of pure silver. As noted on the coins, they weigh 33.625 grams which nets out to 31.103 grams (one troy oz) of pure silver at the .925 purity. This is no different that the US Gold Eagle bullion coin which weighs 33.93 grams and is .9167 pure netting out to one troy oz
I LOVE TIM AND SILVER. Have to disagree with the war Nickels though. They add great weight to the safe and I have a local dealer that sells them to me at below spot. Keep stacking
For 2022, I have shifted my focus from primarily stacking to working on my collection, primarily commemorative half dollars. My stack is still growing when I come across a really good deal.
Regarding the silver war nickels, I’ve been finding them in circulated rolls I get from the bank. I’m amazed at how common they are to find. I love Tim and silver!
My grandfather was born in 1900,he began collecting at age 17. He told me to not collect foreign coins because American coins are the most sought after coins in the world.
I really appreciate that you're so supportive of the truckers but remember there are train lines out there that are carrying lots of those trailers and lots of containers at a lower expense than semis can do. Depending upon where and how far you have to drive your commute can be vastly different if there was all trucks hauling things and no trains taking a load of it.
I like Tim, I like silver, I love gold, I love freedom and I am very proud of our brothers and sisters up north holding the line. We are standing with you Canada! 🇨🇦 I hope We The People in the USA can find our collective balls and at least follow Canada's lead.
I have a collection of sterling silver I’ve picked up metal detecting, garage sales, goodwill… etc. silver is silver… but I still hate war nickels and low % foreign coins. If I dig one up out of the ground, I’m not throwing it away, but wouldn’t buy them. I think I’m too late for the giveaway
Yankee, you overlooked the 40% Kennedy halves. I kind of like them, but I personally do not actively stack them. I know the majority of stackers hate them, but for barter it is a nice little coin as the majority of them are BU. The number one complaint is the room they take up, that is so funny to me, that extra little bit of space required to store them, really? The 40% Kennedy's I have, I pulled out of circulation in 1970, so a long time stacker here, lots of stories and wisdom over the years. Even thou there are 1,444 Comments and I am the 1,445 comment, I Love Tim & Silver. But I doubt that you, Yankee will even read this, but Cheers mate.

You’re crushing that Canadian monster box Yankee nice work!!💪 and I’d stick to 999 fine sovereign un-slabbed coins and bullion for sure along with 90% constitutional here in the states to keep it simple for stacking! And Tim’s the man of course so why not share the love! I LOVE TIM AND SILVER!
Thanks!!
Stack for weight, generic rounds return the best profit long term. You have to watch the premiums on these eagles and COA stuff!
I am so thankful for the channel. Wishing I had found you sooner.
I love Tim and Silver....I thought that it was interesting that Sterling silver (.925) is sort of frowned upon yet we love Junk Silver (.900). The concept is maybe more related to our thoughts on US coinage versus World coinage... I know personally, I've been one to snub my nose at Sterling coins, but give me a walking liberty half and I am thrilled...by the way, I have the same confusing thoughts regarding US Gold Eagles (.9167) and most Sovereigns (.999 or better). The premium for the US gold over world gold is crazy given the difference in purity....yet we pay it without giving it much thought.
I buy Canada pre-1936 .925 silver dimes/quarters/halves all the time @ spot price! How can you go wrong @ spot?? It is still silver, right?
I meant to say Canada pre-1920 that is all 92.5 silver
Sterling silver flatware got me into silver 3 years ago. Now my family of 5 use sterling, flatware, goblets bowls and the like every day for every meal. Water feels colder in a goblet because silver thermal properties make the goblet cold. Same with ice cream and hot chili. It's a silver meant to be used and enjoyed not left in a box and now a few hundred ounces later it doesn't get old, so much fun. I of course stack bullion now as well but without sterling I would have never even started. It also help "justify" to my wife at first as a "usable" & "practical" purchase and now she loves it as much as I do. Cheers!
On eBay I was able to when piles of silver Canadian time to where I was paying about $20 an ounce, roughly $60 for a 51-piece roll which is still far below spot and has been so it can come in handy if you know how to pick up foreign silver, like when I was getting Philippines 75% silver coins for roughly under a dollar a gram which at that time was cheaper than generic silver being $31-33
I love silver and TIM!
Love your channel yankee great info too
Much appreciated! And you are SECOND! 🥈😊👌🏼
Great video Yankee. Tim is on point as usual. The Canadian trucker protest has inspired me to stack a tube of silver maples. 🇨🇦
That's awesome, Hagar!! 🍁🚚🍁
Canadian 80% makes up a decent part of my stack. I can get it at a dollar or less over spot at my LCS, so I tend to get a lot. I prefer to stack the Yankee way, and stick to government minted precious metals. I get some generic bars or rounds when they're cheap, but I usually will prefer to pay a little more for sovereign coins.
Keep buy 80% as close to spot as you can, IT IS STILL SILVER!!!
Canadian 80% silver dollars for spot was one of my weaknesses, one LCS had BU rolls...spot x .6 oz for years....I ended up with close to 500 of them. If they were circulated, I would dump em...but these are BU...so pretty. Like mentioned, still silver...and cheap.
@@mofatjippyfransisco713 I think Tim was saying to stack/buy silver that is more recognizable that way it’s easier to sell. So years from now when we go to sell our silver coins someone will have to calculate the different actual silver weights ACW’s of all the different foreign coins, it is more work for that person(or your loved ones when you pass away). If you can get them at or below spot you will be fine in the end!
Good to see another Canuckian here. Drop by if you like poured silver. I am the pourer from North Central BC. Any chance I get I am on to our 80's. Esp the 1956. As well as being my birth year there were few made......Dean......
@@TomokosEnterprize Actually American, mate. Just happen to love Canadian silver
I love Tim and silver!!! What a great gesture of Tim. Thank you, Yankee.
I love Tim and Silver! Also enjoy all of your content. Only been stacking since November but have learned a lot from your videos. Loved the video where you shared about your daughter wedding. That’s when I knew that you were someone’s opinion I could trust. God Bless!
Michael, thanks SO much. Yeah, that was a tough video and a tough time. Now she's been happily married for two years. What a sweet couple. So happy for her, and I've adjusted.
Just in time too...I think I'll be walking my other daughter down the aisle in the not too distant future. And my son Lil Stacks goes off to University this fall.
😭😭😭😭😭
Love your videos Yankee! You speak the truth 💯
I appreciate that!
Sterling is good for stacking because the alloy makes the coins stronger, and therefore better for barter.
I really enjoy watching Yankee stacking u guys have really shed light on the silver and gold industry.. I really appreciate it in these trivial times!! Good people 👍 👏 👌 god bless
I stack sterling and I love it because sometimes I get it under spot basically I realized that there is no practically premium for it
It seems like ALL Mexican silver or gold is extra hot right now, but in general I wont look for it but if I see 925 super cheap silver is silver... :) maybe still a hidden gem while junk/constitutional is skyrocketing it may be a hedge against premiums lol...
I got a 2 paiso gold 👍
90%+ to 0.999 is the best to stack
I love Sterling silver 92.5%. Especially pre 1920 Brit. I also love Canadian 80%. I collect anything north of 72% and with the premiums on US it's just better value right now.
In s.h.t.f. situation I won't barter for anything but 999. Impossible to keep track of all the tainted silver, hence worthless.
That was really Nice of Tim, I Love Tim!
I love Tim & Silver!
I think war nickels are worth stacking some of from a fractional/barter perspective since Constitutional Silver premiums are out of control right now.
Stick with 40% if not 90.
Too hard to extract small silver amount to be worth stacking.
They're fun but not "stackable."
Yes I estimate they'd barter for abt a $1.50 during SHTF
I know it's got to be WAY too late to get in on this giveaway but regardless, "I love Tim and silver". Well I figure I am already VERY appreciative of Tim's input and education I am getting here and I'm rather fond of silver so the statement still stands, contest or no.
Did they already give it away?
@@soilsolutionshomestead6511 Since this was about 6 months ago I am guessing it's all over. They do things like this from time to time though so you might want to stick around. Besides, Tim is always very informative.
Excellent Advice !
Thanks for watching, my friend!
I LOVE TIM AND SILVER!
Yankee, the Mexican ONZAs have 1 Troy Ounce of silver per coin despite the .925 percentage of silver content. The total coin weight is 33.6250g including the silver and other alloy metals. No deception in the name.
Keep up the vids!
Good to know! But the "deception" was around the purity. However, you are correct in that it contains a full one troy ounce of pure silver...just like a American Gold Eagle at 22 kt is still a full troy ounce of pure gold.
@@YankeeStacking ah yes I see your point. In either case I love these ONZAs and the other Mexico silver bullion and coins. Although they started reducing the silver content through the years the Mexican coinage is one of my favorites. The ONZAs in my local have a significant premium if you can even find them any more. A year or two it wasn’t that way. They sell around here like an American Silver Eagle or more.
I hear what you're both saying,
I really don't think a national mint would produce a silver round with the purity and weight clearly stamped and then add the word "pure" with the purpose of misleading people in to believing the piece is made of .999 silver.
(no alloy)
It says "one troy ounce of pure silver" because, as Yankee said, the gold eagle (and the krugerrand too) do contain a full one troy ounce of "pure" gold while being heavier to compensate for the 22k alloy.
Although I can see why both Yankee and Tim find it weird, the inclusion of the word "pure" in a piece made of an inpure/alloy can feel contradictory. (The gold eagle and the krugerrand say "gold", not "pure gold").
In my country, the mint doesn't produce .999 silver, only .925 33.625 silver coins, with face value (legal tender) and the certificate says "the mint guarantees that each coin contains one troy ounce of pure silver", although the coin itself only says "PLATA" "0,925" "33.625g".
Might I add, that the mint does not produce bullion, these are "commemorative", proof strike, 5000 limited mintage (per design).
(They ran out of stock half a year ago though)
The anverse remains the same for all the coins:
"Central Reserve Bank of Perú"
The government seal,
The year,
the mint mark,
"PLATA" "0,925" "33.625g".
Precious Metals Import Tax: 27%
+
V.A.T.: 18%
I'm shifting now to poured 100g bars from a jewelry, I'll have to be extra careful with testing now.
Sorry for writing a lot.
Cheers!
Buying graded modern bullion PM coins is a marketing scam created by HSN and other shill hucksters selling to ignorant buyers on TV. If UR going to buy PCGS-NGC-ANACS rare or high condition graded numismatic coins, ok, but realize it's a completely diff market.
The bullshit marketing of modern mass produced graded bullion is absolute insanity. We stack real money because there's a horrific economic crash coming to the USA and the world. We use PMs as a store of monetary value to use at some time as barter or sell if paper money devalues dramatically.
In order for your MS70 graded silver coin to break even with the spot price, the metal has to double or triple just to break even. Who in their right mind is going to pay a 2 or 3x spot graded premium ? People are looking to feed their families, so everything will revert to what people will pay for the metal, not some BS marketed premium.
I've been buying silver since the late 60's, made tons of $ on the Hunts and subsequent crash. I had a large pawnshop in the 90's and purchased hundreds of thousands of ounces of silver in bars, flatware and coins. Dealing with hundreds of dealers, smelters and others in the PM industry, the ONLY thing that counts is the price of the base metal, unless it's a rare or high condition numismatic coin.
Don't fall for this insane marketing trap by HSN or other retail ripoff. If the time comes where you need to use your silver to buy or trade for food, rent or survive, nobody will consider the rarity or premium of your graded bullion, it will only be worth the current spot price. I even think that graded numismatic coins will suffer a dramatic price drip in a severe economic downturn. Think about it, who in their right mind is going to pay a premium for a stabbed common date silver dollar, if it's 2007-08-09 again ? If your stock or 401k portfolio just dropped 50% and you need to come up with cash to cover your margins, good luck squeezing that graded premium out of someone.
@@nasacollector3676 Thanks, I appreciate someone with your experience taking the time to comment with good information. Years ago I was pushed hard enough to buy an overpriced 3 coin set of eagles, felt like a dumbass ever since.
I love Tim and Silver!
I agree with Tim. Another option I have a lot in Canada is Montreal Olympic coins. They are large 925 and you can get them near spot. It is all about the spread. At the end of the day we stuck for the day silver goes way up, so you just want to have the most silver.
Yes, you can get those large (nearly 1.5 oz.) Canadian Olympic coins for a very small premium over melt if you hunt around. I just got my first one recently and hope to get more.
I bought 2022 silver eagles is it good for stacking I know premium is high
I love Tim and silver...Contest or not hahahahaha...
I LOVE TIM AND SILVER.
Great content brother keep up the good work!
I love to stack the maple leafs tubes too
Also, very nice seeing Yankee on the Meet Kevin live stream with Peter Schiff.
Really? I guess I have some homework for tonight
Yes. Yankee was there. Represent’n!!!
HA! Yeah, nice to see Kevin starting to GET IT. At least that's what his last video says to me...
@@YankeeStacking I’m a huge Peter schiff fan. I refer to him as uncle Peter lol. As a millennial, I’m blown away by how many of Kevin’s viewers just write off his advice as boomer talk.
Sterling Silver is awesome , lots off very nice coins are made from .925 silver , you just have much more choise if you like variations in your stack with .925
I love Tim and Silver. Of course I also love Yankee Stacking! Thanks for all you do for the community.
So excited with your monster box maples
I love Tim and silver.
Awesome video. It is always interesting to watch you guys.
Just bought some Commemorative Dollars at a great price.
Thanks for the good advices, and have a great weekend!
Just so you know, Canadian silver coins between from 1908 to 1919 were made of 92.5 % silver.
Wow, that's great of Tim to be so generous to a supportive community! Good video, keep it up! I love Tim and Silver!
#1 (7:34) - 92.5% sterling silver coins (conclusion at 8:37 - yes, it's worth stacking)
#2 (9:48) - 90.0% U.S. commemorative silver coins (conclusion at 10:53 - yes, but no more worth stacking than Morgan and Peace dollars)
#3 (11:05) - 99.9% newer commemorative silver coins (conclusion at 11:12 - no, they are too expensive)
#4 (11:56) - 80% foreign silver (conclusion at 12:10 - yes, but only if you're located in that country)
#5 (12:35) - 35% war nickles (conclusion at 12:43 - no, it's not enough silver and so they are too hard to sell)
We’ll done!!!! Thanks. 👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking I would like to use your intro song as a ring tone on my cellphone. Where can I find this song?
I like Yankee but tim is what brings me back to this channel every time!
I love Tim and silver. Great shop
I absolutely love my foreign silver. I "try" to get the highest silver % I can find. But at the same time, I cant turn down any foreign silver.., even the lower silver content ones.
But I'm a history "hoarder" and a coin collector and semi-stacker.
I love the Maples, and Eagles.., and have a couple dozen of each. However.., they just dont give me the same excitement as holding an old Medieval or Pirate era silver coin does.
And most of the time.., I can get the more modern foreign silver for melt and many times.., even below melt. So (to me) that gives me a good deal on silver AND I get the historical aspects to 😉🇺🇲
Me tooo
Eagles are a rip off
Had a client who inherited a sterling flatware set. I think it was 12 place settings plus serving utensils. My ballpark estimate is that he had probably 60 ounces of actual silver. He got $1250 from a hock shop, which was roughly 50% of melt value. The hock shop operator was a little bit astonished to see sterling in that amount walk through the door. Most of those types of finds went to the refinery in 2008. Tells me you don't necessarily want to have sterling unless you're going to trade out of it and into .999 or .9999 coins or bars.
I will take all sterling at 50% of melt.
Your friend got far less then it was worth because he didn't shop around. Sterling should at minimum bring 75% for non melted, stones included and around 90% if you remove stones and melt into bars. You can usually get sterling spot from private transactions. I buy scrap lots of silver and gold, and usually get a lot of good quality, some never worn pieces that can be resold, quickly for 300%-400% above spot. I use the money from that to buy bullion. The rest I refine or melt into shot and bars, for later refining and long term storage.
You think tim will give you 50 percent off a pre 64 dime because it's only 90 percent silver is silver at spot when it comes down to it I have sterling that 95 percent when there is no silver bet every one will pay way over spot for sterling
Hey, I’ve a question for anyone who can give me some advice, I live in Ireland and the only market I have easy access to is the UK market, the problem is, there is a 20% tax on silver. This takes the price of silver to around £25 per ounce which is about $34 (and that is if I’m buying a tube of 25 Britannia’s, single coins are much more expensive. Also buying eagles and maple leaves can be quite a bit more again). Is it still worth stacking silver at these prices or should I concentrate on stacking gold which does not have this tax here. I do love silver though.
I think I’m a bit late but here goes any way 🤣 I love Tim and silver.
might want to buy sterling from private sales.
Buy silver now until the ratio flips
I am on a few FB selling groups. Done lots of buying, no problems. Folk vouch for each other on the groups and I only buy from recommended sellers.
I love Tim and silver
It is fun to visit Tim with you and hearing his opinion on staking strategy.
I love Tim and silver. As well as Yankee Stacker. Glad I've found your TH-cam channel? Will eventually travel to visit Tim himself.
I’m probably wrong but I was under the impression that those 1979 onzas were heavier and contained over an ounce of .925 making the silver content equal to a .999 fine coin.
It does contain an ounce of silver but its stil .925 sterling (the other
.075) is copper. A refiner won't give you as much as for .999 but who's selling to a refiner! Those are selling for well over spot on Ebay, by about $10. I love em. Yankee f'ed up, he shoulda scooped ALL of em up. All he had to do was say excuse me and checked the market for them. D.A.
The Mexican Onzas do contain the equivalent of one troy ounce of pure silver. As noted on the coins, they weigh 33.625 grams which nets out to 31.103 grams (one troy oz) of pure silver at the .925 purity. This is no different that the US Gold Eagle bullion coin which weighs 33.93 grams and is .9167 pure netting out to one troy oz
Exactly, surprised that they didn't know.
I LOVE TIM AND SILVER.
Have to disagree with the war Nickels though. They add great weight to the safe and I have a local dealer that sells them to me at below spot. Keep stacking
31...and feel free to buy em!
Time 15:02. 1) certified 2) sterling 3) commemorative 4) foreign 80% 5)35% nickels

TY BOTH FOR THE INSIGHT. GREAT JOB
For 2022, I have shifted my focus from primarily stacking to working on my collection, primarily commemorative half dollars. My stack is still growing when I come across a really good deal.
I have some bicentennial half dollars for you if your interested

My grandfather was born in 1900,he began collecting at age 17. He told me to not collect foreign coins because American coins are the most sought after coins in the world.
Holy shit, did he pass it on to you?
At one time lol... 😢not sure now
Time is a great guy! I love Tim and Silver.
I really appreciate that you're so supportive of the truckers but remember there are train lines out there that are carrying lots of those trailers and lots of containers at a lower expense than semis can do. Depending upon where and how far you have to drive your commute can be vastly different if there was all trucks hauling things and no trains taking a load of it.
I like Tim, I like silver, I love gold, I love freedom and I am very proud of our brothers and sisters up north holding the line. We are standing with you Canada! 🇨🇦
I hope We The People in the USA can find our collective balls and at least follow Canada's lead.
I have a collection of sterling silver I’ve picked up metal detecting, garage sales, goodwill… etc. silver is silver… but I still hate war nickels and low % foreign coins. If I dig one up out of the ground, I’m not throwing it away, but wouldn’t buy them.
I think I’m too late for the giveaway
Such a great channel.....love the coins and love the man's insights.
I love tim and Silver. I also love the bits of knowledge from the page.
Yankee, you overlooked the 40% Kennedy halves. I kind of like them, but I personally do not actively stack them.
I know the majority of stackers hate them, but for barter it is a nice little coin as the majority of them are BU.
The number one complaint is the room they take up, that is so funny to me, that extra little bit of space required to store them, really?
The 40% Kennedy's I have, I pulled out of circulation in 1970, so a long time stacker here, lots of stories and wisdom over the years.
Even thou there are 1,444 Comments and I am the 1,445 comment, I Love Tim & Silver.
