Happy to say I crossed the kilo mark in 2020, and now 25% of the way to a second kilo, with 90 kilos of silver for icing on the cake. I have sold silver to trade for gold, but never the other way around. Even with higher premiums for silver, sometimes it's easier to pick up 10oz or so of silver at a time with intentions of eventually flipping for gold rather than sitting on cash that may get spent before there's enough of it for an ounce of gold.
@@BackyardBullion your enthusiasm is infectious, I have a germ of an idea, melting 10 x 1oz of 2016 gold britannias into an 10oz BYB bar as a podcast feature?
A kilo of gold is about 120 full sovereigns, enough to inflation proof retirement fiat income for 10 - 12 years. Saving for 20 years at 6 sovereigns a year is probably the best private pension fund that one can rely on. I didnt start saving sovereigns until I was in my early 60s, so its never too late. Any significant bullion gold you have, is more than most people have, so get it while you still can.
Gold has been used for 1000s of years as money and a symbol of wealth, it will continue to be for 1000s more years. Preppers are dumb about gold and silver. No market ever existed based on purely barter. Money of some sort was always used.
I used to spend £100 in whetherspoons and night clubs on a weekly basis. Im sure i can invest in 1-2 grams of gold a week. Or at the very least, a month
He says 1 kilo over a lifetime. It is possible. Buy around 1 troy ounce a year and you’ll have accumulated it in 30 years. I purchase 2 each year from a median income.

My buying strategy is to buy gold and silver every few months when I have vacation days. In the time between I can save up. Currently 25 years old. I will stack gold and silver for the time when I will be and old man with grand kids. So thankfull that my father showed me gold.
I agree. My original aim was to have enough sovereigns to sell one a month for first 5 years of retirement (60 coins ) , but I didn't stop when I reach that goal. Don't buy larger weights though a) too expensive b) you can't break it up if you only need to liquidate a small part. Stick to a combination of 1/4oz and 1oz sizes.

A kilo is HUGE amount! I've been stacking since 2012 when a friend dragged me into it and he wanted me to stack silver. I didn't listen og got (mostly) gold instead and only recently crossed the ½ kilo line. Can be there's 50-80 gram unaccounted for in jewelry, some of it quality jewelry I'll keep and some of it junk which I sell and buy investment gold instead. I have silver too but not that much since I can't get myself to pay those premiums. So very little dedicated bullion but lots of medals acquired at scrap price or below.

Steven Garcia that is great! I am glad to see that you didn’t buy lower than 1/4 ounce, 1/10 and small grams the premiums are horrible. I always buy either 1/4, 1/2, or 1ounce. Generally 1 ounce usually has the least amount of premiums. Have fun!

Just made my first goldcoin purchase earlier today diversifying my hard assets. It was a Corona coin for this day and age fittingly. Btw, Nice set of kilo there. Thanks for your videos to challenge my mindset!
Been stacking about 3 months slowly but surely stacking within my budget. Bought 3 oz of gold so far and about 180 oz of silver, mostly 90%, ASE, Maples, Britannia. There goes my Bitcoin
Gold is king! I am on the slow and steady plan. It truly is surprising how it all adds up. People need to stop making excuses why not to buy gold and just do it!
Yes bro, Agree 👍 100% I am gold stacker from East world 🌎. Gold 24k bars is my passionate and discipline specially for long term. I started stacking in 2020 when covid 19 started. Almost 2 years stacking I have 15 TOLAS Worth $10,950. So Agree in 10 years I am planning to touch 1 kilo 24k gold bar. 1 kilo in this part of world 🌎 its 86 Tolas. In this part of world 1 kilo 24k gold bar will cost us almost 9.6 million local currency.
I like the prospect and I will more than likely own a kilo soon ish, starting now at age 24 buying 1oz-10oz a year. However I feel current market situations demand more progressive buying of silver than gold
Only have a little over half a kilo in 11 years of stacking but if the gold silver ratio narrows a little more I'm going to trade it for gold. Silver takes up to much space in my safe.
2 oz are a lot for me and never that I would have that, but DAMN man. That is a gorgeous stack that I hope to be able to have one day. I’m averaging 1 to every 100 oz’s of silver.
If you are going for bullion coins check out Chards, Atkinsons and Baird and Co - they are often much cheaper than the Royal Mint and they are the dealers I use
Gordon Brown did the country proud didn't he, such a 'world class' mind, as these types refer to themselves, and he stripped us of our gold, in a dip, genius.
Yes. I started stacking last year and I'm a third of the way to a kilo. After realizing how heavy silver gets I've been mostly buying the beautiful yellow
100% agree with gold better then silver. I don’t think silver is better then stocks. I guess it depends on the stock but I love getting dividends, these dividends fund my metals. I also lucked out and got a huge win on the stock market that helped fund my property. Don’t get me wrong, I love silver, but it does not pay me. Gold is king. Even if it doesn’t pay me I think it’s worth is. Great video
Im a newbie to all of this and just started to buy gold. But im on a pretty crap wage i can buy a bit every month or so. Is buying 5g and 10g bars worth it or buy coins? Would take me ages to save and buy 1oz bar or coins.
I think the biggest conspiracy out there is all the stacking channels I follow have all switched to gold overnight,,, all at the exact same time. Is there a TH-camr cabal out there?
@@BackyardBullion yourself excluded as it's a ramble but over the last few months where do you think the majority of new investors would have put their money based upon TH-cam content? Please don't put me in bansville but I can see a influx of second hand bullion coming through now as people have been sold a pipe dream.
No banville for you my friend. No doubt that there are a lot of youtubers that have very profitable affiliate links in their descriptions and it is very good for their channels to create hype and get lots of ad revenue. Trust me, some of the channels around my size are earning $5000 per month or more in affiliate bonus codes to bullion dealers - some probably a lot more. I have been offered many affiliate programmes, never taken them because its not what I am about or what this channel is about.
Nice treasure! I fully agree that gold is preferable to silver. Reason number one is that it can be obtained for far less premium as a percentage of spot. I have lots of silver too, but I will be selling much of that to buy more gold.
You are quite right. Silver premiums are too high right now. I will still buy some in the near future but a lot less than I have over the last few months. I am slowly accumulating fractional gold (that's all I can afford at present). The premiums are high there too but it's still a better deal than silver at the moment. I want to accumulate a few ounces before it does become "unobtanium".
It’ll take me a year to save enough for 1 ounce on my wage 😔, I got close to 30 Oz of silver as that is easier for me to buy right now. You are right though, the premiums are so high even I’m now hesitant to buy more silver.
@@BackyardBullion I am quite new to stacking but I’ve watched a load of your videos and some from the crazy yanks across the pond, saving for the apocalypse. Your vids are definitely more interesting and informative. Theirs just make me think the world will end next Thursday..as you always say, it’s about buying responsibly. I have a tight couple of months coming up so I won’t be buying any PMs as I have higher priorities, but after that I’ll see what I can get. Fingers crossed that the market will have calmed down and prices drop a bit. I want me a 10oz bar..
There is a lot of fear pushing and hype all to fuel affiliate bonus codes and youtube ad revenue. Some of these youtubers in the US are earning thousands of $ every month from the fear they are pushing. We speak a much more down to earth approach.
Most PPL make an big mistake. The buy the prices. I buy the ratio. By 112 to one i bought massive Silver. By 80 to one i buy 50:50 Gold and Silver. Under 50 to one i stop buying Silver and go 100% into Gold. So i get in 10 Years 1,2 Kilos of Gold and 35 Kilos of Silver. And no. I am not rich. I got around 1500 pounds a month. My Collection Contents a good mix of classic Numis, modern Numis and Bullion. But its not easy, cause u have to buy cheap. That means, u have to have an eye on the Market......almost every day to find the bargains. I have over 20 dealers in whole europe in my watchlist on my computer
totally agree. Its so funny to hear people say now is the better time to buy silver - not long ago the ratio was 125:1 and definitely in favour of silver. Not now!
@@BackyardBullion hope you know I was teasing...you are one hundred percent brilliant! Love your videos,thoughts and very AWESOME items you make! From the state of Kansas you ROCK!
Is holding physical gold or silver really worth it? I feel like I want to, but it feels a right faff on, buying, storing, insuring, how do you guys do it? Love the channel btw
@@BackyardBullion well I’m on your waiting list for your bars, so maybe that’ll be my first 😎. Just finishing your video and I think I might look at some gold coins, love the comment about not fitting 65 kilos of silver in your pocket 👍
BYB thanks for another great video. Your gold stack is looking great... I have that final Queen's Beast coin on order to complete my set... (1/4 ounce size in all the rest) So beautiful! I could only afford the Una and the Lion bar in silver 10 ounce. I will continue to buy gold as I am able to. In three years I have managed to buy just over 12 ounces of gold on a senior's pension very tight budget. My Silver is over 320 ounces now... Saying hello from Vancouver Island.
Only Q is, if we buy 1oz a year over 30 years won't it get more expensive to by said oz each year? Could be 6-7 grand an oz in 25 years time? So best to get as much as possible ASAP?
My mom and dad have a lot of 14k rings, bracelets, chains and even 1.5 kg silver chest ( mini coffin ). But my sister sold almost all her gold for a new fridge in her home.
I’m currently moving house but looking at starting to slowly accumulate gold and more silver (when I see the in laws in Canada for obvious reasons). I am lucky enough to have been inside the federal reserve vaults in New York City... one word amazing
Junior gold mining company on LSE. High risk, high reward opportunity. Will go into production soon £100M /yr at current gold prices with a market cap of £60M
On rewatching there is a comment I'd like to make. In the UK a gold grab happened as recently as the 1960s when the Labour government were sick of the UK Pound going abroad and being exchanged for gold and brought into the country. Quite simply people were fighting against a weakening Pound through physical gold accumulation so the Government reduced ownership to a limit of four coins, two gold and two silver. Think it can't happen again? I don't.
Gold will be for direct exchange for large value items like 10 hectares of farmland Silver will yield larger profit due to it being used up every year In the long run the silver to gold ratio may fall enough to swap 5 or 10 oz. of silver for an oz of gold. Silver will increasingly become a strategic metal as global supply falls. Global gold supply grows 2 to 4 percent annually with little or no depletion.
Love your vids...great selection of coins there too. I'm considering stacking some bullion but at age 60 I'm not sure if it's worth it. Have I left it too late?
In the 20th century, the vast majority of countries in the world had there currency collapse. Causes were war, hyper inflation etc, etc. Many places had this happen more than once. To out 20 or 25%of your savings into precious metals, is a rational, reasonable option. I bought silver, before we left the EU, not really looking to buy any more. My local dealer keepsake selling out. There's huge demand for real, actual gold. Find more good local dealer, great value, buy when you can afford to. Especially as interest rates are roughly zero.
A kilo of gold is all the money the worlds poorest people earn during their entire lifetime. An average African family's total earnings are 1 krugerrand, 1 ounce, a year.
My.mistske was buying a kilo gold bar instead of buying coins or small 1oz bars. But hell... I'm only 26, so I figure I can swap my kilo bar for income producing assets whenever I find opportunity.

Good stuff, glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing though
Accumulate over time and it will surprise people how much their portfolio will build. It is a long term investment but only spend what you can afford.
Yes indeed, thanks for sharing!
Just made my first goldcoin purchase earlier today diversifying my hard assets. It was a Corona coin for this day and age fittingly. Btw, Nice set of kilo there. Thanks for your videos to challenge my mindset!
good to know, thanks for sharing!
just bought my first gold Buffalo today!!...up to 4.32 oz. Slow and steady wins the race. Silver premiums are just too ridiculous right now.
Nice, thanks for sharing - I agree about silver premiums!
Excellent presentation and informative bro! That's a dense stack!
Thanks buddy!
@@BackyardBullion you're welcome!
Always appreciate your advice and thoughts. And totally agree. I only have a few grams of gold but hope to increase that soon
Good to know, thanks for sharing
Been stacking about 3 months slowly but surely stacking within my budget. Bought 3 oz of gold so far and about 180 oz of silver, mostly 90%, ASE, Maples, Britannia. There goes my Bitcoin
Gold is king! I am on the slow and steady plan. It truly is surprising how it all adds up. People need to stop making excuses why not to buy gold and just do it!
Yep, I agree.
I started Stacking since 2019 and I could stack 1kg gold and few hundred oz of silver. I needed to slow down as stacking was addictive.
Yes bro,
Agree 👍 100% I am gold stacker from East world 🌎. Gold 24k bars is my passionate and discipline specially for long term.
I started stacking in 2020 when covid 19 started. Almost 2 years stacking I have 15 TOLAS Worth $10,950. So Agree in 10 years I am planning to touch 1 kilo 24k gold bar.
1 kilo in this part of world 🌎 its 86 Tolas. In this part of world 1 kilo 24k gold bar will cost us almost 9.6 million local currency.
I like the prospect and I will more than likely own a kilo soon ish, starting now at age 24 buying 1oz-10oz a year. However I feel current market situations demand more progressive buying of silver than gold
Great to hear, thanks for sharing!
Excellent video, very nice gold. Yankee Stacking is a great channel. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🤩👃🏻
He sure is
Today I completed my first kilo of gold .. a journey started almost 15 months ago 🥇
that's an amazing achievement. well done!
Only have a little over half a kilo in 11 years of stacking but if the gold silver ratio narrows a little more I'm going to trade it for gold. Silver takes up to much space in my safe.
Thanks for sharing, yes silver is very very bulky and not good for storage en masse
2 oz are a lot for me and never that I would have that, but DAMN man. That is a gorgeous stack that I hope to be able to have one day. I’m averaging 1 to every 100 oz’s of silver.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it's a very nice ratio you have there.
Beautiful collection of gold! Congrats!
Thank you very much!
Are all 1oz gold coins ok to buy or should they all be 999.9 and are modern coins better than old coins? Please help.
I am a fan of older gold coins that are not 999. Gold is still gold and the history of the older coins is also interesting.
@@BackyardBullion great, thanks for explaining. Any recommendations of where to buy coins? Royal mint?
If you are going for bullion coins check out Chards, Atkinsons and Baird and Co - they are often much cheaper than the Royal Mint and they are the dealers I use
@@BackyardBullion great thanks.
I did some calculations and there happens to be of all the gold ever mined roughly 3/4 an ounce per person alive.
Don't have a kilo of gold but I have that in silver, a number of times over. Eventually I'll get there with gold. Slow and steady over time.
For sure, it has to be slow and steady with gold
Loving the gold.. few Oz's behind but striving for that kilo!!!!
Nice, its a very satisfying moment when you get there!
I'm at about 3oz GOLD,,,,
Nice, only 29 more oz to go until a kilo!
Gordon Brown did the country proud didn't he, such a 'world class' mind, as these types refer to themselves, and he stripped us of our gold, in a dip, genius.
Goodness, what a mistake that was.
Plus he told everyone in advance...
Yes. I started stacking last year and I'm a third of the way to a kilo. After realizing how heavy silver gets I've been mostly buying the beautiful yellow
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Only 1 sov? Are you even British? 🧐
Well done on the 1kg!
Thanks for sharing the thoughts on owning gold. Do you think that accumulating gold for retirement is a good long term goal?
Nice! A y idea where to get those black capsule inserts from?
They came as part of a display box, so no idea, sorry!
Hi, I bought a couple of the boxes for the 1oz gold beasts with the name plates for each coin look much better in the boxes than scattered everywhere
Great to know, thanks!
If you bought the same QB box as me, it holds a tray of 2oz silver, a tray of 1oz gold and a tray of 1/4oz gold.
100% agree with gold better then silver. I don’t think silver is better then stocks. I guess it depends on the stock but I love getting dividends, these dividends fund my metals. I also lucked out and got a huge win on the stock market that helped fund my property. Don’t get me wrong, I love silver, but it does not pay me. Gold is king. Even if it doesn’t pay me I think it’s worth is. Great video
Definitely better than stacking paper money....
For sure 😎
100%!
How much over spot price should I be paying for an oz gold coin.... Newby here
2-3% is normal for older bullion and 4-5% for brand new
@@BackyardBullion cheers buddy..
Can I ask is it the same percentage for silver aswell...thanks
Im a newbie to all of this and just started to buy gold.
But im on a pretty crap wage i can buy a bit every month or so. Is buying 5g and 10g bars worth it or buy coins?
Would take me ages to save and buy 1oz bar or coins.
I think the biggest conspiracy out there is all the stacking channels I follow have all switched to gold overnight,,, all at the exact same time. Is there a TH-camr cabal out there?
I don't think so, I think they are just knowledgeable investors and have made up their mind that silver is not as good as gold right now.
@@BackyardBullion yourself excluded as it's a ramble but over the last few months where do you think the majority of new investors would have put their money based upon TH-cam content? Please don't put me in bansville but I can see a influx of second hand bullion coming through now as people have been sold a pipe dream.
No banville for you my friend. No doubt that there are a lot of youtubers that have very profitable affiliate links in their descriptions and it is very good for their channels to create hype and get lots of ad revenue. Trust me, some of the channels around my size are earning $5000 per month or more in affiliate bonus codes to bullion dealers - some probably a lot more. I have been offered many affiliate programmes, never taken them because its not what I am about or what this channel is about.
@@marc3006 I think a lot of people will have put it into crypto
@@andyhepburn6855 me included. I stopped using all my budget for silver a little while ago. Mainly split it between gold and crypto now.
I enjoyed this. I agree, it’s a good goal overtime. New to stacking so I’m at 1/2 an oz lol
Nice treasure! I fully agree that gold is preferable to silver. Reason number one is that it can be obtained for far less premium as a percentage of spot. I have lots of silver too, but I will be selling much of that to buy more gold.
You are quite right. Silver premiums are too high right now. I will still buy some in the near future but a lot less than I have over the last few months. I am slowly accumulating fractional gold (that's all I can afford at present). The premiums are high there too but it's still a better deal than silver at the moment. I want to accumulate a few ounces before it does become "unobtanium".
Good to hear, thanks for sharing
It’ll take me a year to save enough for 1 ounce on my wage 😔, I got close to 30 Oz of silver as that is easier for me to buy right now. You are right though, the premiums are so high even I’m now hesitant to buy more silver.
Yeah, it is very hard to justify the premiums in my head, hence the move to gold.
@@BackyardBullion I am quite new to stacking but I’ve watched a load of your videos and some from the crazy yanks across the pond, saving for the apocalypse. Your vids are definitely more interesting and informative. Theirs just make me think the world will end next Thursday..as you always say, it’s about buying responsibly. I have a tight couple of months coming up so I won’t be buying any PMs as I have higher priorities, but after that I’ll see what I can get. Fingers crossed that the market will have calmed down and prices drop a bit. I want me a 10oz bar..
There is a lot of fear pushing and hype all to fuel affiliate bonus codes and youtube ad revenue. Some of these youtubers in the US are earning thousands of $ every month from the fear they are pushing. We speak a much more down to earth approach.
Congrats on having the silver! Premiums are nuts now, 'tis true.
Most PPL make an big mistake.
The buy the prices.
I buy the ratio. By 112 to one i bought massive Silver. By 80 to one i buy 50:50 Gold and Silver. Under 50 to one i stop buying Silver and go 100% into Gold.
So i get in 10 Years 1,2 Kilos of Gold and 35 Kilos of Silver.
And no. I am not rich. I got around 1500 pounds a month.
My Collection Contents a good mix of classic Numis, modern Numis and Bullion.
But its not easy, cause u have to buy cheap. That means, u have to have an eye on the Market......almost every day to find the bargains. I have over 20 dealers in whole europe in my watchlist on my computer
totally agree. Its so funny to hear people say now is the better time to buy silver - not long ago the ratio was 125:1 and definitely in favour of silver. Not now!
Love the pesos! Thank you for your input(put a tad of platinum in that stack) stay safe and stack on!!!
I do have some platinum in my stack too.
@@BackyardBullion hope you know I was teasing...you are one hundred percent brilliant! Love your videos,thoughts and very AWESOME items you make! From the state of Kansas you ROCK!
Didn't think anything else otherwise!?
I do love gold. I have about a half oz. I have been working on my ancient coin collection as much as possible. Mostly roman and Greek.
Out of curiosity, why do you have mostly coins instead of bars?🤔
I have only 28 oz of gold but silver...... thats a different story.
Ill probably play the ratio soon
U MUST play the ratio to grow up your Depot.
See my post below
Sry for my bumpy english. I am a kraut. 😁🤣
Sounds like a plan to me!
Is holding physical gold or silver really worth it? I feel like I want to, but it feels a right faff on, buying, storing, insuring, how do you guys do it? Love the channel btw
Yeah, it is hard work to own and store gold and silver but I believe it is worth it.
@@BackyardBullion well I’m on your waiting list for your bars, so maybe that’ll be my first 😎. Just finishing your video and I think I might look at some gold coins, love the comment about not fitting 65 kilos of silver in your pocket 👍
Yep, silver be very bulky!
BYB thanks for another great video. Your gold stack is looking great... I have that final Queen's Beast coin on order to complete my set... (1/4 ounce size in all the rest) So beautiful! I could only afford the Una and the Lion bar in silver 10 ounce. I will continue to buy gold as I am able to. In three years I have managed to buy just over 12 ounces of gold on a senior's pension very tight budget. My Silver is over 320 ounces now... Saying hello from Vancouver Island.
thank you very much indeed, thats a nice sounding stack you have going there too, thanks for sharing!
Where do you buy your coins from?
Only Q is, if we buy 1oz a year over 30 years won't it get more expensive to by said oz each year? Could be 6-7 grand an oz in 25 years time? So best to get as much as possible ASAP?
320 x 1/10oz coins thoughts
My mom and dad have a lot of 14k rings, bracelets, chains and even 1.5 kg silver chest ( mini coffin ). But my sister sold almost all her gold for a new fridge in her home.
Oh my goodness BYB! That's quite a stack of gold! 🤣
Thanks, glad you like it!
I’m currently moving house but looking at starting to slowly accumulate gold and more silver (when I see the in laws in Canada for obvious reasons).
I am lucky enough to have been inside the federal reserve vaults in New York City... one word amazing
Beautiful collection! I love those centenarios! Thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks, they are awesome, my favourite coin of all
Thoughts on condor gold?
I am not familiar with Condor gold, what is that?
Junior gold mining company on LSE. High risk, high reward opportunity. Will go into production soon £100M /yr at current gold prices with a market cap of £60M
On rewatching there is a comment I'd like to make. In the UK a gold grab happened as recently as the 1960s when the Labour government were sick of the UK Pound going abroad and being exchanged for gold and brought into the country. Quite simply people were fighting against a weakening Pound through physical gold accumulation so the Government reduced ownership to a limit of four coins, two gold and two silver.
Think it can't happen again? I don't.
Those Britannias are beautiful!
They are some of the best made bullion coins out there.
Gold will be for direct exchange for large value items like 10 hectares of farmland Silver will yield larger profit due to it being used up every year In the long run the silver to gold ratio may fall enough to swap 5 or 10 oz. of silver for an oz of gold. Silver will increasingly become a strategic metal as global supply falls. Global gold supply grows 2 to 4 percent annually with little or no depletion.
Thanks for sharing, I agree.
Where do you generally buy your gold from?
Chards, Atkinsons, Baird and Co. These are the biggest and best in the UK.
I've managed to claw since 2015 57 ounces....its a grind but well worth it 👌
Love your vids...great selection of coins there too. I'm considering stacking some bullion but at age 60 I'm not sure if it's worth it. Have I left it too late?
Any advice for where the best place to sell 1kg gold bar would be? (I should have bought 33 gold sovereigns instead)
I would suggest contacting a number of the bigger dealers in the UK (if that is where you are based) Chards, Atkinsons, Baird and Co.
In the 20th century, the vast majority of countries in the world had there currency collapse. Causes were war, hyper inflation etc, etc. Many places had this happen more than once. To out 20 or 25%of your savings into precious metals, is a rational, reasonable option.
I bought silver, before we left the EU, not really looking to buy any more.
My local dealer keepsake selling out. There's huge demand for real, actual gold. Find more good local dealer, great value, buy when you can afford to. Especially as interest rates are roughly zero.
Understand value and valuation.
In 1914, Henry Ford started paying his line workers $5 a day.
That was .24187 of gold for a day's wages.
Yeah, I get that but if you equate that to todays gold price that is $413 per day and not out of the realms of possibility for some people right now.
is one tenth oz gold coins worth buying??
sir how long did it take you to accumulate 1kg of gold?
4 years
A kilo of gold is all the money the worlds poorest people earn during their entire lifetime.
An average African family's total earnings are 1 krugerrand, 1 ounce, a year.
My.mistske was buying a kilo gold bar instead of buying coins or small 1oz bars. But hell... I'm only 26, so I figure I can swap my kilo bar for income producing assets whenever I find opportunity.
Hold onto it Mike. And get inspired to buy income producing assets with fresh money. You can do it ✌🏼
Thats a lot of gold on the table 😍😍
that gold though! jeez laweez! gorgeous stack backyard!
Thanks!
Just started collecting gold and silver about 3 months ago. I'm up to 70 ounces and 6 grams of gold. Little by little!!! I have always been a coin collector for about 4 yrs. Nice video!!!!
Good stuff, keep going!
Where do I buy gold?
A kilo of gold is 32 full years of minimal wage for me :(
Oh, well; gram by gram then ;)
Slowy slowly!
