Absolutely. All I hear is "you're paying higher premiums for fractional," but the truth is that I don't care. I'm 39 years old and I'm basically stacking gold and silver to leave my kids. Premiums won't mean anything then
I think you're right! I am not an expert on the francs, but while I just have the one, I typically see a lot of low to spot deals for them. Can't turn that down!
The difference depends very much on how much you invest. Let's say you have 100 000$ to invest. Well you go into a shop with your 100 000$ and you come out with a bar of gold in each of your pockets. With the same amount in silver you come with your truck and you end up with a bad back. Had about 40 000$ in silver at the start of 2024 and sold three quarters of it for gold because lifting the whole thing was impossible and took so much space. That same amount in gold is in an enveloppe. It doesn't mean I don't own any silver (about 20% of my holdings) but it's now manageable which wasn't the case before. But sure if you're investing a few thousands in precious metals than silver is a good idea.
That's a very good point. I appreciate you bringing it up! I have noticed myself buying a little more gold recently, as silver definitely takes up more space. While I am more bullish on silver, gold definitely saves more space. If you have a bigger amount to invest/stack, gold could definitely make more sense.
I have a few 1 oz gold coins and bars but I'll never buy more. I love the Germania mint 1 oz poured gold bar, but if we ever have to barter and trade, fractional gold and silver is the way to go. 90% silver is your fractional silver. I love quarter gold eagles and any other gold piece, I love it all. I think the half ounce gold piece is the smart move because you're going to save a little money, the quarter and the half is all I will buy from this point on. Thanks for the video!
Totally agree with the comments... When I started I started with the all famous Constitutional silver (set goals.. I completed a guardhouse box of each denomination) then moved to ASE mini monster boxes and Maples (watch the premiums) then I started sprinkling in 1/10th and 1/4 ozt gold as I found a good premium on them as I started stacking weight in bars and rounds I looked for a decent GSR and made the move for more gold... great video keep it coming
Got into gold after cutting my teeth with silver for years. Accumulated a few ozs around 2k price point. Now im interested in fractional like 1 grams. Especially when you can get a deal!
Interestingly in the UK Silver attracts 20% tax - gold does not. (apparently a European ruling in 1999 essentially that Silver is used industrially whereas generally gold is not. I would dispute this (the point about gold not being used industrially) . But in the UK at least, silver makes less sense to buy over smaller gold denom unless you are buying silver to gift to people as a relatively low cost item.
That is really interesting. I did not know about this. Thank you for sharing! In that case, I would definitely lean towards fractional gold. Would not make sense to pay taxes plus premium on silver at that point.
I ,ve been stacking for just over 4 years and have about 10 Oz,s of gold and 3,500 Oz,s of silver ,the silver is my hoard but when I travel I like to take about 1 Oz of gold with me in small coins for emergencies since carrying 2,000$ in silver would not be practical because of the weight.
I really like the concept. I actually picked up my first one a few weeks back! Will plan to do a video on Goldbacks soon. I think we have to normalize REAL money (ie, currency backed by gold and silver, or gold and silver itself). The premiums at the moment seem to make stacking Goldbacks impractical. However, if you can find it at reasonable prices, that could change my mind. Especially if you live in a state where they are accepted. I believe that Bullion Exchange may be running a deal still where you can buy one at spot? That's how I picked mine up.
I prefer gold , 80% gold 20% silver .Its more easy to sell gold in azombie holocaust, but silver is good to kill werewolves .The vampires prefer gold if you don't have gold you pay with blood and they live in government ministries with special focus on tax departments. Now seriously, silver pays taxes and has very high premiums, Gold does not pay taxes and has comparatively lower premiums in the long term, it makes up for Gold more than silver. And silver is used industrially, so it will never rise exaggeratedly, otherwise companies and productive sectors dependent on silver, if they don't have a substitute, could close.
Don't be afraid to touch your gold. Its not the same as silver.
Silver and Gold go hand in hand. I think all stackers at some point pick up gold.
Agreed. I think it is almost impossible to have just one. If you like one, you like them both!
Absolutely. All I hear is "you're paying higher premiums for fractional," but the truth is that I don't care. I'm 39 years old and I'm basically stacking gold and silver to leave my kids. Premiums won't mean anything then
@@PsychoMantis308 Agreed! And I love the idea of staking for your kids. Doing the same thing for mine. Want them to have something for the future.
The 20 francs is the best way to stack fractional gold! The premiums are way lower

I like your easy/seamless presentation. Quite engaging. Thank you.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.
I feel you got something here, son! Great work and content!!
Thank you! I really appreciate the encouragement.

@@Stacking_Benjimans Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying the content! Sounds like we have had similar stacking journeys.

Love finding deals on those! They are few and far between, but try to hit them when I can. I think APMEX had one a week or two ago?
Just found your channel. Nice video. I think everyone should have some gold and fractional is a great way to start. 🍻
Agreed!
I mostly stack silver,but have started buying more gold lately. New sub
Welcome! I am in the same boat. Sticking with silver primarily, but have been watching for more gold deals of late.
A very interesting watch bro.

You gotta get a pre 33 coin
Is that 1833 or 1933? Either way, I'll put it on my list!
@@KingdomSilverKC pre 33 means any US gold coin before 1933
Thanks for the clarification. And I do! Will be on the lookout for one. I do have several Morgan Silver Dollars from the 1880s, but no gold.
@@KingdomSilverKC I think you'll really like them the st gardens are some of the most beautiful US coins ever made
@@Error._.404 Ill take your word on it! Look forward to getting one myself and seeing what I think.

Great strategy. And wow, what a stack! Congrats!
All good
What do you think about stacking Goldbacks?

i got 11 ounces of gold in total in my stack its a mix of coins and bars!
@@BarackObama967 that's awesome! I hope to have that much gold in my stack some day!
Silver today has become white metal gold......as good as yellow gold..
So silver gold has become like yellow gold.....
New sub 🎉🎉🎉

You can't eat gold....I like it all the same though...
