Just completed my first day of buying as a novice stacker. Bought 60 oz to celebrate my 60th birthday in a few days. Spilt between Canadian ML - Brit - and ASE (premium too high but had to get some just the same). I’m gonna focus on MLs and bars moving forward. Overall goal 2000 oz by my 65th.
My top 15 list 1. Canadian Maple Leaf 2. UK Britannia 3. ASE 4. Australian Kangaroo (honourable mention Kookaburra) 5. Mexican Silver Libertad 6. South African Krugerrand 7. Austrian Philharmonic 8. Somalian Elephant 9. Armenian Noah’s Ark 10. Niue Turtle Those below may be treated as honorable mention 11. Chinese Panda 12. Korean Tiger 13. Bhutan Lunar coin 14. Russian St. George the Victorious 15. Ukrainian Archangel Michael
Hello! I have 2 tubes of 2016 maples uncirculated. Any idea what they are worth? I can seem to get an honest answer by calling around. It's all over the map
SD - more and more I think you are right. like my brother says "silver is silver, even if the queen looks like a cartoon". I don't mind a picture of the queen of england on the coins, I just wish it was a serious portrait.
Solid advice here. Question: What percentage of one's assets would you recommend holding in physical silver? There is an opportunity cost to stacking too much metal, so I am wondering what your advice would be for new stackers. What % of your total assets do you hold in physical metals? I think the answer would be helpful for many of us newbies.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. And 5-10oz bars are soooo fun to stack. I don’t care how old you are, man, women (showed my good friend my bars, She’s now stacking) bars are just awesome.
I seen Canadian maples are like 45 euro but only 20 in scrap value, what are the closest to scrap value the 5 and 10 oz bars ? Looking to invest for 5 - 10 years down the line
Hello I'm Dominican and im thinking about open a TH-cam channel talking about silver and gold but in Spanish because Hispanic people have it hard to get information about this, can you tell me some advises and how rentable this is for you Thanks
if you click on " Show More " just below the video description, SD lists his email and mailing addresses and all the equipment he uses to produce his videos and where to buy it all. I hope this helps. Good Luck with your channel !!!
I'm a novice and need some advice. I bought 295 proof ASE's about 5 years ago. The company I bought them from wants to buy them back for a profit to me of $9 each and they suggest that I put that money into the equivalent dollar value of American Silver Buffalo rounds, which would give me 63% more silver than I have right now. Would you do it? Would you sell proof Silver Eagles and buy Buffalo rounds or would you buy something else?
kooks are cheaper than ases if you know where to look. 2022 design is awesome as is the koala. i‘ll still end up with twice as many eagles as kooks but i’m stacking the 2022 kooks. the design is just too cool this year to ignore imo
My favorite bullion coins 1- Somalia Elephant, 2- Koala , 3- Kookaburra, 4- Philharmonic, 5- Rwanda Lunar. The Elephants and Philharmonic are low premium. The kooks and Koalas have low mintage, changing image and finish , and are still lower premium than ASE & Libertad.
Why is the premium on ASE so high compared to all the others? Is it just because it’s the most popular and most recognized or is there something else to it?
I only get one or two of these government issued bullion coins just to continue the date set. I don't have complete sets of almost anything because I'm not willing to pay a lot for earlier versions (example: kookaburras). I do have a full date set of ASEs, though. I have been predominately buying generic rounds and bars for the past couple years. I have also started to dabble in some fractional gold - not going too crazy, since the premiums are wicked.
Just to correct you on the security features of the Krugerrand... the word KRUGERRAND is "printed" in the mountains below the Springbok"s right leg. That is not the only one.. There is another one printed below that, or on the right side of the coin on earlier versions - something like SAR021. Have a look with a magnifying glass.
Thing is, unless you sell these to a collector that wants them for some reason, when the time comes to sell, all you will get is the weight of the silver. It makes no sense to pay a premium for a coin, when you can buy bullion much much cheaper.
@@jamesbarr5486 guarantee that if you walked into a jewelry store with 100 ASE, you'll walk out with whatever 100 oz of silver sells for. Now if you are into collecting or whatever, and you are going to sell to some other collector, that's a different story, but if you are collecting silver to someday sell it as a hedge against inflation or whatever, bullion is best by far.
I just found this video and it helped me out alot because though I still mainly stack Eagles (Liquidity matters to me more than premiums), I'm starting to diversify my silver stack and I was looking for other popular sovereign minted coins. Thank you for sharing your opinion and showing those very nice coins. You helped me make up my mind. 👍
Just curious why the Cook Islands hms bounty never gets any love… best looking reverse in my opinion paired with a super low premium makes it super stackable
Which government issued bullion doesn't have an issue with milk spotting? Or, if they all do, which are the worst? I know Canada has appeared to fix the problem. Unfortunately, I have a lot of nice coins from Canada, prior to 2017, that are milk spotted now.
I have not brought any silver since the Premiums went crazy.. I only buy gold, I would love to hear why anyone would buy silver with these high premiums vs gold..IMHO..
Call me a prood, but I am personal subscriber to buying eagles and maples 1:1. Everything you say about the maples is true, however, silver eagles will always be valued higher and they seem to appreciate at a higher rate. Yet, I agree that the the premiums are still too high and that collectors should diversify they're stacks in order to obtain a better payback in the long run. Good picks though!
Check out Silver Seeker‘s latest video where he calls coin shops to find out what they would pay for Eagles. Half the shops said they would only pay spot. If they all start doing that there’s no point in buying Eagles at all
The kookaburra is definitely my top pick they have a different design every year unlike the Eagles brittainia‘s maple leafs, boring. I just bought a tube of 2022 kookaburras for 5 dollars over spot on bullion exchange. That’s comparable to Brits and maples. You just got to shop around. And after a year the Value of them goes up pretty good so you got to get them the first year they come out. They come in individual capsules not in tubes where they can scratch and bang together. So that’s also a savings on buying capsules. They are beautiful and don’t milk spot.. Definitely check them out
Do you have a video on Panda, Maple Kooks, Koala, New Zealand coins. Seems like my 'collection' of these has really increased in value over the last 5 years. What are your thoughts?
I must say, buying canadian maple leaf silver coin at Canada’s mint website, it is expensive compare to the other circulated maple leaf coin I buy. About 20$ difference
Almost all of my 999 silver coins do milkspot, i recommend going for libertad,ase, britannia which do milkspots less. But you must understand, that almost all 999 silver will change toning and color over time, its inevitable.
I didn't know what a milkspot really looks like until you showed a picture of one. Is this something that may be cleaned or is it etched into the metal itself?
I personally would put the Britannias at No1 & the Maples at No2. This is because of the very bad portrait of HM the Queen on the Maples & the higher security on the Britannias. Happy stacking everyone.
The krugerrands after 2017 actually have security features. If you look closely you will see "krugerrand" in microtext in the mountains behind the back leg. From what I understand there is also another bit of microtext that changes position each year.
I've seen a few coins on eBay with milk spots where they are selling it for a bit more then average and advertising the milk spotting as a plus as if it's toning.. I want to buy a few gold Barbados tridents they are very nice
ASE's are the top of the charts regardless of premium because they are recognized by everyone and their liquidity is superior, are premiums high, yes. With other Bullion Coins they are almost comparable to rounds (price wise on resell) to begin with and unfortunately for the Maple Leafs and the Brittania's they both have the Queen on them...and for that reason i can't bring myself to purchase them at all, i however would get them if they ever make a great looking reverse and get rid of the Queen or anything to do with the royal personalities.
EDIT: The Krugs do have a microprint security feature but I still place them at number 5 because the quality is terrible 🔥🐉
I have two 2021 Krugs and they don’t disappoint, I actually like them
I think krugerrands are nice coins I have over 20 of them different years
Where's the microprint security feature?

Been waiting for this for awhile!
Fantastic video! Thank you for the info. and your content always encourages me to keep striving to learn more and keep stacking.
Your picks are 'spot' on, (pardon the pun). I agree 100% with you. The Maple Leaf, and the Britannia are hard to beat for sure. Awesome video.
The Canadian maples are my favorite all around just great! Love that security and purity plus that beautiful finish.
I just bought a couple of Maple Leafs earlier today. Beautiful coins.
First! Love these vids
Nice info !!!
Is it possible to invest in copper, in the same way?
Are copper coins of any value?
Because I'm crazy about the Krugerrand and Britannia, but hate milk spots, I just had to buy them both in gold and platinum
SD - more and more I think you are right. like my brother says "silver is silver, even if the queen looks like a cartoon". I don't mind a picture of the queen of england on the coins, I just wish it was a serious portrait.

I think the answer would be helpful for many of us newbies.
5-10%
10%
4.20% to 6.9% for me, personally.
Krugerrand does have a security feature. Just below the antelope's back legs, within the mountainous landscape, it says "krugerrand" in microprint.
that is super cool that they have that! I can never see it because the milk spotting covers it up lol 🔥🐉
Oh my God Mrs Danielle have done it again
I just received my profit investing with her in crypto currency
oh wow i didnt know this! i just checked mine and it does have it. cool, thats nice to know! lol
I like the kookaburra since it comes with a free capsule
great info!! i’m just starting out w investing, economy sucks here in Alaska
The Armenian Noah’s Ark 1 ozt gold coin was the first piece of gold I ever bought. I have a handful of the silver version too. Awesome coin!
Started with coins. Now I strictly stack 5 or 10 oz bars. Premiums are much better.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. And 5-10oz bars are soooo fun to stack. I don’t care how old you are, man, women (showed my good friend my bars, She’s now stacking) bars are just awesome.

Afternoon Silver Dragons
Great video brother nice coin's have a great week
Will you be doing top 5 gold?
I don’t buy the Silver Eagle anymore because the premium is too high but everything else is pretty agreeable to me.
What kind of round holders are those at 0:57
Hi SD, What do u think about Kangaroo from Australia? It wasn't in top 5 @@
Agree ! Gold too!
Idea:
Every year make an update video to the 3 best and worst silver to stack and the 3 best and worst gold to stack
yeah I could do an update for sure great idea! 🔥🐉

I am a kruegerant guy but you sold me on the 🍁 with no milk spots
Great video as always 👍

What do theese capsules cost ?
And the theme ?
Often not this popular coins are superior if you take time and sell them at ebay.
Stacking 1 10 oz bar isn't better than 10 1 oz bullions?
Awesome video! Another good coin is RCM 1/2 oz Maple Leaves our LCS has got them once in a while. Keep stacking!

Unless you need to sell them. I keep them ! call / shop around for a better price.
What are your thoughts on JM Bullion's Medieval Legends Series?
krugers have securitt feature just below the moutains theres krugerrand print vey very small
New to the page, love the content
kooks are cheaper than ases if you know where to look. 2022 design is awesome as is the koala. i‘ll still end up with twice as many eagles as kooks but i’m stacking the 2022 kooks. the design is just too cool this year to ignore imo
I own a bunch of krugerrands and I haven’t had any of them milk spot except the one I keep as my pocket piece

I like the look of the silver coin.
I want to be with silver coins forever.
Do you guys like keep them in individual capsules or a tube?
Good video.
but where are the best places to buy them? The lowest I found is 10 or 11 over spot in the low quantities I can afford
Greatings from Australia and great top 5 guys, shame you didn't include the silver Kangaroo coin into it.😉
What are premiums?
Say silver is 20 dollars spot and a bullion coin is 25 dollars that extra money is premium
Why is the premium on ASE so high compared to all the others? Is it just because it’s the most popular and most recognized or is there something else to it?
I only get one or two of these government issued bullion coins just to continue the date set.

My coin shop dealer pays well on ASEs however maples and anything else he only pays generic price.
What do you think of the Tree of life and the Roaring lion coins
Speaking about libertads wtf is up with the premiums in them? They are crazy expensive for no reason.

Any predictions on silver premiums in 2022? It looked like they were coming down and then bounced back up a little.
question, I have these 3x 1OZ silver bars from Royal mint, i believe 2020 Una and lion, silver bars, 35k total made....lemme know what you think?

You can use a pencil eraser to remove milk spots, however you risk scratching the coin in the process
