I pick up several coins at yard sales too,my wife doesn't like going to yard sale with me,lol and antique malls are great to,last week I bought a 1909 s over s wheat penny in an old anacs soap box holder at a local antique store,great video and keep going.
Hey, do you have any advice for testing silver you find at yard sales for fakes? I am new in the game and have been wondering how to test for fakes being that my coin knowledge is still pretty limited.
@@Bigtree5 i’ll make a video on how I test until I’m certain but the basics are, #1, compare the size of the coin and the weight to what is listed online. It should be nearly spot on, if it’s a little slick, then it could weigh less than what stated, but should be no less than 80% the listed weight, you can also do the ping test, if you don’t have a pocket pinger, you can gently hold the coin on your finger floating and use another coin to ping it. It should ring really clear, with a high pitch and have a long smooth resonance. Also, once you start to handle more silver, you’ll be able to tell just by the color and the tone.
@@SilverGarage X2 on the pocket pinger. Also, most of the coins at yard sales have been collected and owned by the seller or sellers family for YEARS. Finding a fake IMO wouldn't be a concern to me. But then again, i've been collecting coins for 30 years so for me it's pretty easy spotting a potential fake.
Tell us what you're long on Robin Hood for. I'm going to build a base with all Global ETFs Global Copper ETF Global uranium ETF Silver Juniors ETF Gold Juniors ETF Texas oil ETF
@@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt I honestly only hold a small position, just to keep it easy to track when I open my app. Robinhood is really just play for me. I enjoy holding and handling with my physical assets anytime I want. Less about daily/weekly trading.
@@EvolutionIsles there’s time when it swing 5% up in a day or 3% down the next day, but that’s one of the best things about silver. I buy physical silver and I plan to hold it for years, if not decades. If I ever need to sell some, I have a shop they’ll buy it 10mins form my house. I can have unreported, tax free cash money in 10-15mins. Very liquid. But I am one of those people who study the fundamentals and expect the price of silver to potentially rival gold one day.
@@SilverGarage 💯 on that note ! I'm new to metals ! I very curious on what the fundamentals are of silver . Now I definitely want to buy the paper market as well. You have showed me that a lot of people do this and make and take from it . I see how this works now as a newbie to metals I have a regular amount taken out from. Work . But I want my own so I can use it to gain more physical One day ! My desk will have piles on it of hopefully A.S..E. atleast a monster box of them. You got something figured out ! Thx. For showing the rocking chair ! Definitely a keeper from Arkansas ! Thx. For showing me a ton of silver.
@ thank you I can tell you paid attention to the video. I just released a new video that talked about the fundamentals a little bit and why I think silver is a better choice over gold. I will keep trying to make videos to explain the fundamentals as clear as possible for everyone to understand, but the video I released today should help a lot!
