Silver Stackers
 

Any silver stackers, collectors, or investors around here besides me?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Yep, absolutely, in all metals.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

What is a silver stacker? If you are investing in metals than yes.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Haven't gotten into platinum or platinum yet... Have you had much luck?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I've been thinking about buying some silver. I'm not quite sure where and what to buy. Do you invest in bars or coins?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Silver stacker checking in :)

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I'm a big fan of bars only because I like to make larger purchases. I would recommend starting with coins like American silver eagles and Canadian maple leaves.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Good to hear brother. What do you like to stack?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

A mixture of 1oz generic silver bars/rounds. I buy Silver Eagles here and there, but hate how you pay a premium on them. Generic stuff works for me. How about you?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I started with a lot of generic 1ozs, moved to mostly eagles (had a dealer near me that only asked .50 over for them, now stick to mostly 10oz and 100oz name brand bars.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Do you buy local or online? If online, where?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Done very well in Palladium, bought in around 240/oz, its tripled since, and I still recommend palladium. Eventually China will need to start putting pollution controls on everything from cars to factories and Palladium will be needed in quantity. And there isn't much of it to start with.

Platinum is at a high point, and the noble metals are pretty interchangeable for pollution controls, so I wouldn't buy in to Platinum now.

Rhodium is historically very, very low at current prices and an excellent investment if you can get into a rhodium pool (rare), get rhodium sponge (rarer) or rhodium bars (rarest). They are harder to sell at their peak, however.

Of course, this is all simply opinion and not intended to be investment advice! :r

The best online place is APMEX.com I also buy from ebay when I find a deal, but mostly from a local coin shop by my house and on the Equipment Exchange on AR15.com

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Another stacker checking in. A mix of junk silver an pure rounds and bars.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I occasionally sell with no premium, maybe Ill start asking here in case there are any interested parties. Never thought about posting about silver on a cigar forum!

I have purchased from APMEX before, they are recommended.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Been looking at Apmex for a little bit. It looks like that is where I will start the silver journey. Thanks for the heads up guys!

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Just started about a month ago. I have a place by my house that charges Spot + 10%.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

That's not bad depending on what your buying. Is that for 1oz coins?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I just bought one of these: http://www.silvertowne.com/p-19300-s...ilver-bar.aspx

I had to have it because I like the hand poured look.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Nice hand pour. I really like them too. Silvertowne makes some really nice stuff for how reasonably priced they are.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Yes, I have been getting mostly American Eagles and Canadian Maple Leafs

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Yeah, that's not to bad of a price if they're in good condition. You can sometime get a pretty decent premium when you sell them depending on who is buying...

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on 5 oz. of the APMEX 1/2oz. rounds and a $10 roll of Washington quarters (avg. circ.) for my first silver purchase. Does this sound like a good plan to you guys that have been doing this for a while?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I went with the 1 oz. silvertowne bars instead. Less of a markup and free shipping. Thanks for posting that site Dan!

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Good call. These will make a really smart first purchase.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

There are metal based stocks you can buy that are closely related to the price of the metal. I bought a Gold stock several years ago and did pretty well. I sold it well short of where gold went, but at least I made money.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Looking at the same order as well.
I see with Credit card the charges are high and shipping held 3 days to keep you from playing the market and flipping the product before it even leaves the warehouse :)

Re: Silver Stackers
 

My dad's been a coin collector for ever. I have some silver coins, many of which are worth more as silver than as a coin. I saw a show (doomsday preppers) where a guy buys rolls of half dollars for face value and picks the silver coins out (worth many times face value in silver) then trades the rest back in later. They called it roll hunting. Neat idea to get free money in silver. This is a practice I just may take up. The banks usually take out the silver coins but they miss quite a few I guess.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I have a few friends that do some coin roll hunting... Not very profitable. They often go through several hundred rolls before finding any silver. I guess it's not bad if you enjoy it and have A LOT of free time.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Anyone buy 90% recently at a decent price?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I may be selling some 90%, Ill PM you if I do. Id sell with no premium to a BOTL. I have a good mix of halves and dimes.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Bought a 1oz Stagecoach divisible bar because they look sweet. Also bought (3) 2013 Silver Eagles yesterday at the local coin shop for $34 each out the door. They are flawless and extremely shiny :)

Re: Silver Stackers
 

A guy on AR15.com is selling Silver Eagles for $33 each shipped. I am buying a few.
