My collection consists of 60% Philharmonics, 20% ASE and 20% Maple Leafs... The ASE are the most beautiful in my opinion :) Greetings from Vienna, Austria !
Raspberry Pi that’s pretty awesome! I am a brand new stacker/Coin collector! I have coin roll hunting three boxes of Pennies one roll of quarters, 10 rolls of nickels, two rolls of $1 coins! Also currency
That is smart. I actually traded in the Buffalos I had for silver eagles. I decided it was smarter to go with coins as opposed to rounds. I do still have a couple hundred ounces of rounds. I just kept the ones I really like the design on. But as far as stacking, coins are the safe bet I think.
Raspberry Pi that’s awesome dude, I got a question you might be able to answer, how come the Austrian mint doesn’t put the 999 silver on the coin? I just got my first tube didn’t notice till now 🤣
One thing to add: The reeds on the coins' edge was added to stop people in earlier times from shaving off precious metal. These reeds just remained on modern coins after, when the coins were no longer made of precious metal. So that is one thing to consider when stacking these coins; the reeded edge is a security feature, one of the first to be created among coins. If you're making large purchases of these coins, I'd take measurements in diameter and weight to insure that they haven't been machined down.
Does the edge of these coins look to have a seam going around the coin? I only have one, so nothing to compare it to. The coin looks great, but the Chinese are making casting counterfeits, which would have a seam.
Yes but keep in mind if you are a North American buyer you want coins that will be most recognizable for your area geographically speaking, such as the maple and the eagle if you live in the United States. If you want to barter and trade, some people may not even recognize the Austrian philharmonic. Just saying.
@@hugostiglitz4215 I'd argue that although from the other side of the world, they're highly recognizable now and increasingly so as they continue to sell
@@NayokeHenji That's very true with the faster flow of information I guess everything gets smaller in regards to the market and the world itself, good point you make
I have some of the Philharmonics because they are one of the cheapest bullion coins and like you said they are well known here in europe. Something you should know is that all euro coins that are not the normal circulation coins are only legal tender in their issuing country, that's why they can't the face value of the "normal" euro coins.
Hard to understand. I just started stacking this month. I heard these milk spot a lot which stopped me from buying some. I now know that since I'm stacking and holding them that milk spots don't matter. I ended up going with 1/4 oz gold philharmonic and 25 oz of silver rounds and bars. But the philharmonic is without a doubt a gorgeous coin.
I've gotten some of these from SD Bullion when they have had their buy 19 get one free sales. They are great looking coins - very shiny, almost a mirror finish.
I fell in love with the Austrian Philharmonics the first time I saw them. I have several rolls and they are one beautiful coin and the size is great. I also have several Gold Austrian Philharmonics and they are more beautiful than the Silver ones and no 1099B form. Thanks for the excellent informative report. Out.
@@SilverDragons47 i do. I also consult an accountant. Also loved border crossing comment. Thats what i like about silver coins, its money/money. Its silver and dollar denomination. 🇺🇸🗽
I'm late in the game, I've just started stacking this month. I'm buying Britannias, I have eight so far. I've also bought two 100g bars. More to come on the 15th.
Brits are my favorite stack as they change designs every so often. ASEs, Leafs and Kangaroos are the bulk stacking for me that will be my first coins to sell.
@e-series 102:xi I mean that the price has been so low for a number of years. I have only just started buying silver last month. Imagine the size of my stack if I'd have been buying years ago. Better late than never though eh?!
Yep just ordered a 25 tube of Britannias. Can't go wrong with those. Got some gold ones also. If you can get the ones with the oriented border, they are limited mintage so may fetch more in the future👍

@@SilverDragons47 I prefer UK, NZ or Perth queens over the housewife queen on Canadian coins. I can think of other people whose busts would be worse on a coin than Elizabeth II.
Me and my buddy both stack. We treat it like a race so it's a challenge for us both to keep each other going and saving up assets. We both go and every few months buy a tube of 20 Philharmonics (sealed in mint tube) each, so two total. That brings the price over $1,000, and in my state, that makes it tax free. I enjoy the Phil's because they are a national mint recognized coin, not just generic bullion, but their premiums are extremely low compared to ASE, which admittedly, I am in love with. I just can't help myself trading fiat for less silver simply because of a design preference. Phil's are becoming more recognizable, and trusted. And with it becoming easier and more efficient to weed out fakes of any kind, they become more and more liquid.
I have one of em...its all good because they are silver, but my "thing" is 1964 and older US coinage...when our money was made from silver, when our country was strong.
head of a MONARCH on the reverse is a time immemorial practice since coins were first minted. I'm grateful there's still monarchs left that permits coins like maple to be made.
Started adding these to my silver portfolio after watching this video. Now I have 27 oz of Silver Philharmonics and 1/10th oz Gold. Smaller coins, smooth edge and foreign bullion without the Queen!
I picked some philharmonics up at provident. Provident had them on sale for a great price. I did not know about the reasoning for the smooth edge. Cool info S.D.
Failed to convince me. You stated it cost the same as the maple leaf at LCD what about recapturing the value when selling to them? If it's not a popular round for the shops they may give lower.
He loves them for a reason... He lives close to Canada! Lol. I'm in southeast Louisiana! So, I would think that Mexican Libertad's might be a better option for me since I'm closer. But who knows am I just another DUDE ON RUclips! 😂
I had a few rolls of the 2008 Philarmonic I was curious what shops in South Carolina and nc would pay for them and not the answer I was hoping. Every place told me under spot saying there hard to move and would get generic silver price for them. So I sold most of them at 17-18 each locally and got more maples from 15.5-16 when silver fell the following week which is a win win in my book.
@Yankee Stacking, if you don't mind, could you fill me in on what does that abbreviation of CML'S mean? It's probably in my brain storage somewhere, but it's late and it's going in shutdown mode...lol. 👌

Great topic as always and interesting about the face value if traveling into another country! I'm always amazed the knowledge and information that you possess or come across.. SD-BULLION had these on sale recently and they were only about $4. something more than a tube of the cheapest generic rounds! I picked up several tubes since they were that close to generic!

That sale was if you bought a tube of 20 you actually paid for 19, because the deal was buy 19 and get one free and you could buy as many as you wanted! However, I only bought one tube at a time..lol. I don't have that kinda money... lol. I try to save and If I can afford it, I try to get full tubes when I can....

What do you think about the 25, 50, and 100 Schilling silver coins? They are 800 percent pure. I thought the Philharmonic was also 800 percent? Whats up? They are easy for me to get since I live in Vienna. They make great gifts. Thank for sharing.
What are the best coins to stack in Sweden 2022? I want something recognizable/trustworthy that could easily be used for barter in a SHTF scenario. Thanks! 😊
Would you advise (as a non-financial advisor, of course) that UK citizens stack Britannia's over any other bullion coin due to Capital Gains Tax exemption? Philharmonics are beautiful looking, I'm just the thinking for long term investment within the UK
Sticking with ASEs and 10 ounce bars for the forseeable future. And maybe a collector coin here and there. Thanks, bagg... er uhhh i mean dragons! PHEW 😅
Quick question: where do you get those spacers for your capsules? I've never seen them before. That would make it so much easier than having to buy all of the different sizes... 🇺🇸
thx for the topic. As an european stacker i can say that the Philharminics and Arche Noas are the best bang for bucks here. The cheapest ASE i can find are usualle 0.30€ to 0.40€ above Philhamonics and Arche Noas. So, for stacking as much as possibly they are my first choice.
I have a tube of Philharmonics. I'm currently liquidating my vinyl record collection of 30+ years and buying PMs. So the music theme is perfect for me.
So what are your thoughts about the Silver Krugerrands? I stack a lot of those, they're only a " One Rand" denomination, also with NO Queen..lol...cool video dude!
Do you have a video on that tax stuff of what needs to be reported and what doesn't? I'm thinking about starting up a stack again, it has been a long time.
I'm new to buying silver and I tend to go back and forth between bars, coins and rounds based on price and for wanting to diversify. I like the coins because if the premium isn't too bad then you also have the ability for the coin to rise in price as well as the value of the silver. Am I correct in thinking that way or not? I'd appreciate any advice from those that have more experience than I do. Thanks in advance.
In Europe there seems to be two-three choices for cheap coins - not considering the current situation. Philharmonics, Krugerrands and Maples seens very close mostly Phils being the cheapest and Krugers at a close 2nd place. But I believe it's also a bit up to the dealer. My next purchase in silver bullion will be Krugerrands - because I haven't got any in my stack (mainly focusing on gold). I like to diversify a little as long as it is not at outrageous premiums. Hence I might also get some of the Australians at some point - but I'll stay clear of all the collectors and semi collectors stuff from dealers because premiums are too high. 2nd hand I'll buy any silver if I think the price is right. Btw. I do believe the silver Krugerrands got the "micro letters" security like their gold counterpart (since 2017 or so. I got a 2018 Kruger that positively has microletters).
Thought bullion coins were the lowest quality of the 3 types? Aren't they just silver blanks for melt value with just a pretty design? They wouldn't be collectable would they?
In Croatia these are significantly cheaper than the alternatives, but there's VAT on silver, which aggravates our situation significantly compared to the USA.
I’d still prefer American eagles and maples for recognition and liquidity. But I might get some rolls of philharmonics some day when I reach my max or get board of maples and ASE 😉
Whoa!! What a beautiful Austrian Philharmonic Silver Bullion Coin! Now I do like the Queen though, I do like the Eagles BIG TIME! Philharmonic Coin new to me! Do you think it’s good for you to have a variety? Thanks for the time you give answering my comments! Being on a different time zone for me! Awesome Video! Keep it up! 🎈👍👍 V
Whether a transaction is taxable is different than whether it is reportable on form 1099-B. You are correct that selling American Eagles does not require the dealer to report the transaction. It is still taxable to the extent that your sale price is greater than your purchase price. It will likely qualify for capital gains tax for most people who are collectors. I enjoy your videos! I am a new collector but an old tax professional.😀
Great video, I prefer maples and ASE but the Phil is pretty much the ASE or Europe, easily the most popular in Europe. Even amoung the coins from Europe it's not my favorite though- I like the Brittania better.
Just an observation that I have made. The philharmonic doesn't have the reeded edge like the maple leaf or the ASE or a lot of other silver coins. It has smooth edges. I have one of those and I also have a silver panthera tigris coin from Laos (silver tiger). That coin also has smooth edges like the philharmonic. I like both reeded edges and smooth but I have noticed that most silver 1 oz coins (not including rounds) have the reeded edge. I think both designs are fine though.
I purchase a variety of government minted bullion. I purchase American Silver Eagles primarily, but I also purchase Britannias, Maple Leafs, Libertads, and Philharmonics.
I really like the Philharmonic coin, details are beautiful. I had no idea we needed to report to IRS some coins and I wonder if there’s an amount to report, if any. Good to know you don’t have to on these 3 coins.
@Silver Dragons, one question if you can or can find out? How about the Mexican Libertad's when traveling? I love those beautiful Libertad's! And I haven't been and to find any for this and last year? Except for from apmex! Apmex is my last and when I am desperate for a certain coin, but not when it comes to a tube...Would love to know about that?🐲🐉 🦀🐊🍓🧂
In my opinion the American Silver Eagle is the most beautiful silver coin. I’m an American and Lady Liberty walking into the sunrise does it for me. I know it’s just stacking but the eagle is always my first choice.
I like the Philharmonics, but I have one important question...when selling to an LCS, they usually pay about $1 over spot for ASE’s, about $40 to $.50 over spot for the Maple Leaf coins, so what do they pay for the Philharmonics??? Anyone sell any recently?

Toned or antiqued Phil’s are amazing and make the design pop. I love Phil’s but still prefer ASE’s as I reside in the US.
Border Survival Texas yeah ASE are still my fav 😁🔥🐉
What do you think about the 25, 50, and 100 Schilling silver coins? They are 800 percent pure. I thought the Philharmonic was also 800 percent? Whats up? They are easy for me to get since I live in Vienna. They make great gifts. Thank for sharing.
Stefan Schleps I wouldn’t stack those unless you can get them under spot... this coin is 999 pure 🔥🐉
Great information and enjoyed watching. Thanks and take care.
Clayton County History Hound thanks my friend! 🔥🐉
What are the best coins to stack in Sweden 2022? I want something recognizable/trustworthy that could easily be used for barter in a SHTF scenario. Thanks! 😊
Would you advise (as a non-financial advisor, of course) that UK citizens stack Britannia's over any other bullion coin due to Capital Gains Tax exemption? Philharmonics are beautiful looking, I'm just the thinking for long term investment within the UK
Do you still like the phils? I think their premiums went up I’m gonna check it out.
When I started stacking I went from silver eagles to Buffalo rounds I only have one philharmonic coin it's beautiful I just prefer the eagles
Sticking with ASEs and 10 ounce bars for the forseeable future. And maybe a collector coin here and there. Thanks, bagg... er uhhh i mean dragons! PHEW 😅
venictos lol... great plan 😁🔥🐉
first to like and I always love your streams, thanks for sharing again ,my friend.CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT ONE
Juan Ortiz thanks a bunch!!! also I emailed you about your address 👍🏽🔥🐉
Quick question: where do you get those spacers for your capsules? I've never seen them before. That would make it so much easier than having to buy all of the different sizes... 🇺🇸
thx for the topic. As an european stacker i can say that the Philharminics and Arche Noas are the best bang for bucks here. The cheapest ASE i can find are usualle 0.30€ to 0.40€ above Philhamonics and Arche Noas. So, for stacking as much as possibly they are my first choice.
newheavyion very cool! stack on my friend!!! 🔥🐉
I have a tube of Philharmonics. I'm currently liquidating my vinyl record collection of 30+ years and buying PMs. So the music theme is perfect for me.
Very good points were made.
So what are your thoughts about the Silver Krugerrands? I stack a lot of those, they're only a " One Rand" denomination, also with NO Queen..lol...cool video dude!
Bruce Liggett some day that are not coins because the “rand” also they milk spot as well... they are new but cool I have a few 🔥🐉
The gray top on the Philharmonic tubes has been replaced by a brown top recently, slightly different shape on the top too.
Do you have a video on that tax stuff of what needs to be reported and what doesn't? I'm thinking about starting up a stack again, it has been a long time.
I'm new to buying silver and I tend to go back and forth between bars, coins and rounds based on price and for wanting to diversify. I like the coins because if the premium isn't too bad then you also have the ability for the coin to rise in price as well as the value of the silver. Am I correct in thinking that way or not? I'd appreciate any advice from those that have more experience than I do. Thanks in advance.
What about mexican Libertads? Do you recommend stacking these coins?
In Europe there seems to be two-three choices for cheap coins - not considering the current situation. Philharmonics, Krugerrands and Maples seens very close mostly Phils being the cheapest and Krugers at a close 2nd place. But I believe it's also a bit up to the dealer. My next purchase in silver bullion will be Krugerrands - because I haven't got any in my stack (mainly focusing on gold). I like to diversify a little as long as it is not at outrageous premiums. Hence I might also get some of the Australians at some point - but I'll stay clear of all the collectors and semi collectors stuff from dealers because premiums are too high. 2nd hand I'll buy any silver if I think the price is right. Btw. I do believe the silver Krugerrands got the "micro letters" security like their gold counterpart (since 2017 or so. I got a 2018 Kruger that positively has microletters).
Thought bullion coins were the lowest quality of the 3 types? Aren't they just silver blanks for melt value with just a pretty design? They wouldn't be collectable would they?
In Croatia these are significantly cheaper than the alternatives, but there's VAT on silver, which aggravates our situation significantly compared to the USA.
I’d still prefer American eagles and maples for recognition and liquidity. But I might get some rolls of philharmonics some day when I reach my max or get board of maples and ASE 😉
Your max?
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That's funny
So I just subbed 👍

Metal Bum yeah it’s nice to diversify 😁🔥🐉
Very interesting stuff.
Treasure Town Thank my friend! 🔥🐉
Nice vid SD 👍
Eddies Little Stack thanks my friend!! 🔥🐉
Is it ok it doesn’t have 9.99 fine silver on it?
Nice one man !
420coins thanks my friend! 🔥🐉
I’ve got one on order. I like the design of it as well.
Kings Coins very cool and it is a nice design! 🔥🐉
Whoa!! What a beautiful Austrian Philharmonic Silver Bullion Coin! Now I do like the Queen though, I do like the Eagles BIG TIME! Philharmonic Coin new to me! Do you think it’s good for you to have a variety? Thanks for the time you give answering my comments! Being on a different time zone for me! Awesome Video! Keep it up! 🎈👍👍 V
V Yes its me it’s great. it’s great to have diversity! the ASE are still my fav 😁🔥🐉
Man i wished i‘d spent my time watching these kinda videos… what were the prizes of one unze silver coin back then?
Whether a transaction is taxable is different than whether it is reportable on form 1099-B. You are correct that selling American Eagles does not require the dealer to report the transaction. It is still taxable to the extent that your sale price is greater than your purchase price. It will likely qualify for capital gains tax for most people who are collectors. I enjoy your videos! I am a new collector but an old tax professional.😀
Patty Frame you are correct about the capital gains tax and it is up to the person who made the sale to pay the tax... if they remember 😮🔥🐉
just grabbed my first stack of these on special this week over at SD.
You should do a vid on "premiums" and the 10 commandments of precious metals investing.
Paul Rivera great ideas my friend!! 🔥🐉
Do you prefer type 1 or 2 ASE?
Great video. I love the Philharmonics have a bunch of silver ones and 2 gold. The golds are amazing! Silver for me they are on par with the maple.
nick540 nice I love how wide the gold ones are! 🔥🐉
Yes, it is interesting, on the basis of philharmonics can compare the density of metals, silver 3.2 mm, gold 2 mm, platinum 1.8 mm
I have to admit, I only only one. Are the standard 38mm the best fit or does the coin thickness interfere with this?
Eli mine fits ok in it it’s just a little loose 🔥🐉
Great video, I prefer maples and ASE but the Phil is pretty much the ASE or Europe, easily the most popular in Europe. Even amoung the coins from Europe it's not my favorite though- I like the Brittania better.
Dang. I either can't type or can't spell.
David Bryan lol.... I like the Brit’s as well 🔥🐉
Any opinions about the silver Krugerrands? They appear to be about the cheapest silver on the market
Todd Mullis possibly not coins but I have a few 😏🔥🐉
Just starting to stack the philharmonics because ASEs have such a high premium now!
Just an observation that I have made. The philharmonic doesn't have the reeded edge like the maple leaf or the ASE or a lot of other silver coins. It has smooth edges. I have one of those and I also have a silver panthera tigris coin from Laos (silver tiger). That coin also has smooth edges like the philharmonic. I like both reeded edges and smooth but I have noticed that most silver 1 oz coins (not including rounds) have the reeded edge. I think both designs are fine though.
I have a tube of philharmonics. They have developed a lot of milk spots so be warned if that's an issue for you,
lastgameontheleft seems to be a common theme.... I wonder if the maples really spot more?!? 🔥🐉
Silver Dragons I have the new Maples with MintShield technology which supposedly prevents milk spots. After 5 months, I haven’t spotted anything, yet.
Nice greets from Austria 🇦🇹
Just started stacking these.
@Bilbo i don't know dude... we pay lower prices for metals in America then you guys do. I think I pay 6 dollars over spot.
I purchase a variety of government minted bullion. I purchase American Silver Eagles primarily, but I also purchase Britannias, Maple Leafs, Libertads, and Philharmonics.
veritasfiles very cool! i’m ASE primarily as well 👍🏽🔥🐉
what do you mean 3/9 vs 4/9 fine silver when comparing the Austrian/US vs Maple
I really like the Philharmonic coin, details are beautiful. I had no idea we needed to report to IRS some coins and I wonder if there’s an amount to report, if any. Good to know you don’t have to on these 3 coins.
omimita1 yeah that’s only with large sales 👍🏽🔥🐉
Does the Philharmonic have the silver purity on them?
@Silver Dragons, one question if you can or can find out? How about the Mexican Libertad's when traveling? I love those beautiful Libertad's! And I haven't been and to find any for this and last year? Except for from apmex! Apmex is my last and when I am desperate for a certain coin, but not when it comes to a tube...Would love to know about that?🐲🐉
🦀🐊🍓🧂
Bayou Bullion they have no face value so in that regard they would be great! 🔥🐉
Only a couple Philharmonics in my stack.. They are cool haven't checked the premiums on them in years.
In my opinion the American Silver Eagle is the most beautiful silver coin. I’m an American and Lady Liberty walking into the sunrise does it for me. I know it’s just stacking but the eagle is always my first choice.
I like the Philharmonics, but I have one important question...when selling to an LCS, they usually pay about $1 over spot for ASE’s, about $40 to $.50 over spot for the Maple Leaf coins, so what do they pay for the Philharmonics??? Anyone sell any recently?
Victor Frankenstein at my lcs they give $1 for ASE and .40 over for CML. Any other silver they only give spot!
Victor Frankenstein mine gives me the same for CML and Phil’s 🔥🐉
I live in Europe. My main coin is the Philharmonic because it is more recognisable for barter over here when SHTF.
kevin owen great reason to stack them! 🔥🐉
So basically, now? Lol
