I’m probably half stacker, half collector. I definitely understand stacking, but if I limit myself a bit-quite a bit sometimes-I think it’s fine to do both. I’ve flipped a few coins that did well, but I enjoy seeing the variation and craftsmanship that goes into the collectibles.
In flipping silver (or anything really), the money is made on the buy--you've got to get a good price yourself or else there's just no room to re sell it and make anything decent at the third or fourth-level of the market
I couldn’t get into the queens beasts. Or the Germania oak leafs. But I really like the Allegories series. I like the Tuvalu Greek Gods too. Kooks are great coins too! Sweet Kook collection! I just picked up a few older date Kookaburras recently.
decisions decisions Just get them all I have the same problem those bars are awesome I prefer the prettier if they don't cost much more awesome haul my friend
Agreed , sometimes best deals not the lowest price ! Sometimes my LCS will have Engelhard prospector rounds or Libetads for $32 and I scope them all up!
I would hold on to them and then flip them. I wouldn't care about completing the set I could sell to those who need the coins to complete their own sets. Great pick ups
@@SilverForeverX I didn't get it at 1st but People here In Aussie love them some of the years are highly collectible and people pay a pretty penny lol that's an old saying 😉 but yes to get whole set especially going back you'd def have to feel the love for them haha some do but that 1 or 2 pieces there missing to complete is a worthwhile cause
Hahahah you know sometimes we just repeat phrases without ever thinking about what they mean.. I can't think of a single thing a penny would buy nowadays!
@@SilverForeverX lol true...unless it's rarer 1, it's composition is of lil value but it may have some collector value depending. In 1966 the Australian gov produced an 80% silver coin worth 50cents...that same coin is now worth around $14 🙂 and 3 of them make 1 Troy Oz it's our main junk silver and a stacked favourite
I am very much a collector and I completely missed out on the Queens Beast series...I think I only have four of the coins and the completer, but I jumped on the first edition of the Tudor Beast, even though the design is not quite as good. You are absolutely right, though, in saying that you have to know what things are going for and that your local LCS may be the best chance to get some one-offs from different series at a great price.
You left out the Perth Mint rectangle dragon series. A highly, highly collectible coin with different designs each year. The 2022 edition sold out on monument metals within 5 days.
I left out a LOT of series, but yes this is a really cool one. I don't have many dragons themed pieces, but I see TONS of folks in the community love them, which means they are a prime opportunity for private resale when the time comes
Good point on this video, well said. I'm also a fan of Germania Mint, fun fact most people think they are a German mint because of their name but the mint is actually in Poland. Personally I would flip the kooks that are worth more than double spot, hang on to rest of them for stack weight and potential value increase. Then I would start a collection of the new style Kooks and Koala (which started 2022 if I recall correctly). I would get a couple 2022s of each and continue each year, getting them right when they release.
Yep, I did buy them all up! I went from planning to buy 1 for $35, then 3 for $100, and ended up at 10 for $330! I think I could have picked up some rough generics for $31, but I thought at $33 per kook it was a no-brainer!
Completed the Libertads 1oz silver album. Need only 3 more Kooks to finish the Kookaburra album. I did finish the queen's beast all 11 coins & filled the tube, but unfortunately I had to sell it. 😢
I am slowly putting together a collection of the 47 Prefectures coins. I managed to snag some for a deal but will probably never complete it. Other then that I get a Perth Luner every year.
I only collect the silver SWAN line-yeah,it’s a short run lol and ungraded Morgans in nice condition.The rest of my silver is for the weight.There is just too much of silver collectible varieties out there compared to gold,would spend too much money on premiums.That’s why I’m trying to put more dough toward the gold Swan line,for example.
I agree, if you spread out your extra money on too many collections of high-premium, you miss out on the potential to stack more weight. Those gold swans are pretty nice!
Just curious... Do you ever deal with XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXX? There is a Tacoma location as well as a couple others. Best prices Iv seen on AGE's I checked their live prices on Wednesday and a 1/10oz AGE was $213. They dont do mail order as far as I know, but I know you can purchase on the phone and do "will call" pickup. I did a Silver to Gold trade with them a year or two ago and got over spot for my 10 oz bars. I also traded 8 generics for a 2021 1/10oz Gold Kookaburra when they 1st came out and got over spot. I left with the Gold and $9 for 8oz. Have a great weekend.
Yep, I've been to a few, mostly Tacoma. Really clean place and some good folks there! In the future, I'd rather avoid names of specific shops in the comments, but I've alluded to this one in the past in regards to 1/10oz gold. They told me they have very little market for them, so they wouldn't pay any premium on the fractional gold coins.. but it sounds like that goes both ways, for buy/sell! I haven't seen an AGE for 213 from an online vendor for many months!
Wow, I definitely need to check in there more often! I've thought about doing LCS interviews, but I'm still a bit wary of the whole thing. It would definitely get me some views though! Any good ones up on your peninsula?
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. It would be pretty neat if I could get some of these art a good price and pass on the savings to the community!
I don't collect the silver kookaburras but I did recently purchase the platinum versions. Really passionate about collecting the RCM silver incuse maple leaves and Mexican Libertads.
@@SilverForeverX yeah I just recently bought two of the 2022 versions. They are absolutely gorgeous. The only one I'm missing now is the 2020 black rhodium plated version. I missed out on one by a few hours last February and I'm still kicking myself in the butt.
Whoa, 2k mintage... beautiful piece but I could see how it would be hard to find a good deal on the market. Best of luck! In the odd chance I ever see one posted, I'll be sure to let you know!
Sounds good! Curious to know what you would consider a reasonable (and/or good) price. One of the cool things about TH-cam Studio-- there's a search bar where I can filter all of my comments with keywords, so it will be easy to find this thread if I ever manage to find it!
@@SilverForeverX you spell it out in the video, and you ended with “be aware”. Example. You see the prices of the first in the series queens beast, you were aware, you found one at a great price or a price not inflated by the demand. If you are aware good things tend to fall in your lap.
@@SilverForeverX haha the silver roo coins are a disgrace I bought 3 tubes this year just hoping they upped there game... instantly milk spotted lol. The only coins I have total faith in are maples the mint shield and design are excellent
@Metaphorical Mask It's truly a bummer that all these bullion coins milk spot so badly, even worse when my 'premium' coins from The Royal Mint do. I was planning to stack more Maples this year, but premiums are so ridiculous on everything... cheapest I see online right now is over 35% premium for MintShield maples. I've pivoted to stacking the Germania Mint kilo bars, which you can regularly get for < 15% premium from MM.
if u got those kooks 4 $ 33.00 ea. run.... you stole em. I have the complete set and let me tell you I paid a lot more than 33ea avg. keep an eye on the 08. it use to be a 85 dollar coin
I was REALLY happy with the deal, but I think the shop was happy to move them as well. I definitely negotiated down the price, never hurts to ask! They got a full set and cherry picked some for sale online-- not sure why some of these were left. The '02-'05 are some of the lowest mintages I think

I collect the Kook series, great pick-up! Oh and the Queen's Beast, yeah got them too. You've got great taste Brother. Thanks for sharing SF!
Sounds like WE'VE got great taste!

This is a good lesson in how and what to buy because when you go to sell unless you flip you get same price for premium or generic
In flipping silver (or anything really), the money is made on the buy--you've got to get a good price yourself or else there's just no room to re sell it and make anything decent at the third or fourth-level of the market
When I comes to the Perth Mint Coins, I'm going with the Lunar Series 3. 12 year commitment, but low mintage and always amazing coins.
They are fantastic! I recently picked up the Lunar Tiger in 1/10 oz and there's just something special about the Perth gold...
I really enjoyed this video, thank you
Thank you, Jennifer!
Nice score on the kooks bruv! Gotta have some collections to help keep the interest
No doubt it keeps things fresh.. you can only buy so many bullion coins, I need some variety in my life!
I couldn’t get into the queens beasts. Or the Germania oak leafs. But I really like the Allegories series. I like the Tuvalu Greek Gods too. Kooks are great coins too! Sweet Kook collection! I just picked up a few older date Kookaburras recently.
Yeah I basically turned into a Kookaburra collector in a single purchase.. we'll see if it sticks!
decisions decisions Just get them all I have the same problem those bars are awesome I prefer the prettier if they don't cost much more awesome haul my friend
I've seen your collection!! It's an epic one, always neat to see a TH-camr's unique pieces! Thanks for stopping by Mrs CC!
Agreed , sometimes best deals not the lowest price ! Sometimes my LCS will have Engelhard prospector rounds or Libetads for $32 and I scope them all up!
Absolutely! I've definitely scooped some of the Engelhard prospectors at generic prices, but I virtually never see Libertads at my circuit of LCS's
I would hold on to them and then flip them. I wouldn't care about completing the set I could sell to those who need the coins to complete their own sets. Great pick ups
Thanks, Nic! That's the plan for now, we'll see how things play out...
They’re wonderful, keep ‘em. Love ‘em, play with ‘em, talk to them.
That's a great deal hands down
I know, right! All the other deals were OK (not great), but I clued in on these and let the negotiations begin!
Some nice pieces there man,cool
Still haven't made up my mind about the kookaburras.. Seems like a dangerous series to try to complete!

Fantastic comment, thank you for the advice. I’m going to give this some serious thought
I would have bought them all for $33.00 a piece. That's about a Generic price today, definitely cheaper than a ASE. Much lower mintage than the ASE.
Yep, I did buy them all up! I went from planning to buy 1 for $35, then 3 for $100, and ended up at 10 for $330! I think I could have picked up some rough generics for $31, but I thought at $33 per kook it was a no-brainer!
I have a couple of the 2010. I'll have to look.
I still haven't made up my mind yet, it's a tough call! To collect, or not to collect: that is the question..
I’m mostly a stacker but I do collect 👍🏻 big into libertads, engelhards and pour silver
I gotta share my Engelhards soon!
@@SilverForeverX please do 🤩
Did you say libtards!
