I’m a sociologist, so I’m always interested in the PEOPLE involved in a hobby. It would be interesting to get Harry’s take on the different categories of stackers/collectors in precious metals and any trends over time or among groups that he has noticed.
I'm one stacker that stacks in preparation for God's plan to *TAKE BACK WHAT IS HIS.* He warns His kids & the wicked in Haggai 2:8, *"The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine, declares the Lord of hosts."* Then God instructs us further in Proverbs 13:22 by encouraging His kids that, *"...the wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up."* So my stacking adventure is knowing that my Father God in heaven *HAS BIG PLANS* that 99% will be surprised by. This is my mindset, brother.
@@lawrencecole6527 I considered doing some research on the community, but figured access would be an issue, given how people are understandably wary of sharing information about their involvement with precious metals. But just from casual observations, there seem to be so many different and identifiable segments within the hobby, with different goals, customs, and behaviors. And I imagine a lot of those track onto demographics like age, class, and definitely political leanings. Some very interesting stuff.
Could listen to these folks talk all day. All of Harrys crew are just so friendly and knowledgeable. Could we maybe talk about the pros and cons of coins minted by different mints? Eagles vs Maples vs Britannia's etc.
Topic suggestion:: "Buy the book before you buy the coin" Get each of the guys to bring in a coin book they consider a good/worthwhile purchase. Whether its something like a price guide or maybe a book on the history of minting. But I'd love to see what they'd recommend. Personally I'd love to get some confidence in Japanese and Canadian coins but wouldn't know where to start
Video idea..I think a sit down style interview with Harry would be interesting. I'm sure he has many stories..and I just like his style! He is the type of guy that when he talks, people listen😀
My thoughts are my thoughts but; This is still the Best Channel doing the Best Shop with the Best Dealers. Also Tim's is equally liked by me. Great stuff keep it up!
Great wifey Idea 💡! Always good advice to include your listeners / viewers wants!! I would enjoy a video(s) on star ⭐️ notes as I collect them now for 20 years.
Hello from Sault Sainte Marie Ontario Canada Silver Dragons, Harry & Adrian Love your videos, I always look forward to every video, you guys are great!!! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!! Have a wonderful week!! Melissa D.
I am glad you made these videos. I have collected silver and gold coins since I was a kid but learn something I didn't know every time I watch a video. Knowledge is Power!
A topic I would like to see is about collecting coins: coins in holders vs raw coins. I think it's no secret in Europe we tend to not care so much for coins in holders and particulary the grading of coins, whereas in the US it seems to be all about the grades. I would love to hear Harry's/Adrian's/Richard's opinion on the whole grading/slabs or just raw coins discussion.
most "grading" companies like coins to collectible card grading companies are american. It is a service export they are trying to sell as any profits they see from that industry results in money coming into the country from outside countries. It is simply world consumerism at its finest and they want everyone else to get into it so more foreigners start paying american companies to grade their stuff so america can then profit off the tax of the international sales.
Hello Silver Dragons hope you’re all doing well, love watching your videos and thanking you guys for sharing all of your contents, I have learned a lot’s of information from you all, and still learning at 65 years old. Keep them coming and keep sharing Ty.
It’s hard not to smile while watching these interactions. All such good guys with good spirits. I’d want to hang out in there all day if I lived close. 😂 I’d overspend regularly. Haha
I would love to see a show done on in-home security. I would obviously never ask where you keep your personal stacks or collectibles in your home - but you could preface everything with... "I've heard of it done this way", or "I've heard it said & I agree that this might be a really good place to house a safe" or nook & cranny to simply stick items in, e.t.c.. For some of us the old, more than "in-your-face" obvious "bedroom" might be the only place that comes to mind!😂 But it is still a serious topic & you don't seem to be opposed to truly, actually helping us😁 Thanks so very much for being there for us!!!❤
Maybe some topics for a future video: 1. What coins are really selling well as far as Numismatic value is concerned or in other words what are people collecting most (Morgan's, error xoins, type coins ,rare coins etc..)? 2. How do coin shops like Harrys purchase coins, wholesale,private collectons,estate.sales etc..3. You have a lot of great deals on.beachcity auctions including rarer coins how are youu able to afford the losses, or is the auction mainly to increase your cash flow so better purchases can be.made with better sales resulting?
Thank you Adrian and Harry and silver dragon..... Good video as usual I love you guys, and I am visiting Harry's shop soon.....I live on the beach just an hour away
Love how these people are friendly, knowledgeable and respectful. I had a recent experience at a coin shop that I won’t name that was very uncomfortable, won’t be going back there. Hope to visit Harry’s someday!
In my country there is a tax on silver but not on gold. So for me it is more of a watching from the side lines type of thing to watch your videos. I always love the information about gold here and there and also all the cool unique coins that come through the shop. Maybe one day we will also be able to stack silver as easily and free as you guys.
Just started watching your channel yesterday, so I would love to know where Harry's shop is. He and his young side-kick seem like such nice fellas, I would love to make a purchase at their store if it's not too far away. 😁 Keep up the interesting topics! Skol!

I wouldn't call (collecting) proof sets stacking. Stackers want the best bang for their buck when buying, proof sets attract a hefty premium that stackers would avoid like the plague.
@@Bobbydazzlla Sure but every stacker has a little bit of a collector in them, and vice versa. The only question is whether that split is closer to 50 : 50 or 1 : 999
True that I been buying some odds and ends collector coins I like lately since silver been above my trigger point. Mostly I like the higher silver content mexxican pesos and the 8 real are nice to. I'm stacking cash until price is down more but get my fix by buying something I like here n their. When silver was below 23 an Oz I was stacking
No. Get graded morgans from after 1978 but before 1921. A lot only had mints of 10 million. Theyre not going to get any. Cheaper. If you buy a 2007 proof coin its not got any serious value for 100 years compared to a coin thats no longer minted it only had 10 million made in a certain mint in a certain year 140 years ago so a lot probably didnt make it things like housefires meltings and circulation etc. Domt buy a proof version of a modern coin that holds value close to spot buy a decent quality old coin like a morgan because its value is potentially going to go up more in comparison
Generally, most people trust the integrity of dealers at coin shows, but how do you guarantee that the coins you are purchasing are not fake when so many look so good? Do dealers run into many fake coins at coin shows?
I love the videos that actually showcase various silver/gold bullion coins as those videos were what got me into stacking four years ago and got me planning for my next purchases.
Diversity of metals and diversity within a specific group of metals, for example 70% silver, 20% gold, 10% platinum and then diversity in each group as to % of numismatic to generic rounds, rounds to bars, 999 fine to 90% and throw in .925, .80, .70 and less percentage of silver, coins, bars and so forth! Thanks guys!
Cheers SD! I would be interested to know Harry's opinion on investing in numismatics. For example, I love the 1921 Peace Dollars, but they are spendy. I don't sell or flip anything, the stack is all for the kiddos. So, hopefully, nothing will be sold for at least 20 plus years. Thanks Dragons and hope you and the family are having a wonderful summer!!🔥🔥👊🏼☮️
I asked myself the question, my answer is: (for what it's worth) I prefer precious metal coins that are non numismatic, You don't have to pay an extra premium for an intangible value, something that might go out of fashion like stamps, teapots, Franklin Mint plates, baseball cards, Beany Babies and the like. Baby boomers are disappearing and the new generations coming don't seem to be as interested in collector items. An ounce of pure gold or silver should remain the base of a serious investment portfolio. Numismatics should remain a hobby item.
- Buying junk or scrap silver and gold - Books for coins an ancient coins - Definitely more about platinum - Have you ever poured 90% junk silver ? - stacking Copper, aluminum, titanium, stainless steel. - How to start selling online and open your own coin an bullion shop - Gold Eagles, Gold Maples how often should one buy Sell some like when’s a good time to off load some gold or silver
Topic: I’m new to metals and don’t hear much about insuring a large stack against theft. Or is it supposed to remain undocumented and as secret as possible? If not insured I’d like to know how the typical stacker finds peace of mind. Is it simply the strongest safe you can afford?
My question for Harry and Adrian: Which do you recommend -- to stack on a weekly or monthly schedule corresponding to your pay periods as a regular discipline, or to hold your fiat currency and let it build up while you closely watch the markets and try to catch the dips? -- And if the latter, how much of a percentage drop in spot price really constitutes a "dip" in your opinion?
Idea #1 - Protection & Storage (flips, capsules, tubes, and cardboard/stapled things) which to use for what coin? What not to buy? What to look for when buying? What Harry has in the store?
I like the Canadian Maples because they have the protective layer as a shield from tarnish and milk spots, but I stack the American Eagles too because I’m from Texas and it’s just truly a beautiful coin also more liquid here in the USA.
@@af2w131f If you were hoping for a scientific breakdown of mintshield, the Royal Canadian Mint hasn’t been forthcoming with the actual information behind this proprietary new technology, but mintshield is an invisible barrier applied to the surface of 2018 and up Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins that protects against milk spots without causing any alteration in the coin’s composition or purity.
@@918KLR I went to their webpage and trying to understand all the marketing terms. It’s a lot of vague terms like “bullion DNA” etc but from what I can tell they partnered with a few French corporations that specialize in biometric technologies. Coins are initially photographed and then systems employed at various places with the scanning tech can identify and track coins locations while easily spotting fakes.
Firstly, I'm so grateful that I discovered this channel. Your videos are top notch with information shared that is close to error free, levels beyond 6 sigma, lol. (I wonder how many 9's that would be 😆) Having said that, perhaps an idea for future shows would be discuss a bit on hedging, i.e. longing/shorting/straddling precious metals positions not only for speculative purposes, but for purposes of managing cash flow based on inventory and dates of sales. After viewing a few videos, it is my understanding that Harry & Team really don't get into this type of stuff as they "make their living in the spread" (Idea for show # 2: Discuss more on the spread), but any insight from these coin super-minds would be extremely helpful. Thank you for considering. Sincerely, Media Pro.
I agree💯. I was thinking the same thing. What a friendly place. It would be great to visit in person. They have so much to offer those of us wanting to expand our knowledge and our stacks!
As a Canadian, I can confirm that the four nines thing is purely marketing. It's meaningless, they just use it to say "well, WE have purer silver than the other guys, buy from the RCM instead of rounds and foreign coins!!"
@Tater-Skinz I am in Europe I prefer to buy Canadian maple leaf because the are I think not so easy to counterfeit I am not interest at all in American Eagles because easy to make fake ones and i am not interest al all in buying them because why pay one cent more than other coins out there. The design is good though, but I prefer also more the shiny coins. I bought a tube of 2022 goddess Europe silver ounces an to my suprise they are absolutely beautiful.
In Australia Investment bullion has to be a certain purity for it not to attract Goods and services tax (VAT) for buying, or Capital Gains Tax for selling. Gold has to be (at least) 99.5%+ and silver 99.9%. So three 9's or 4 doesn't make any difference. My brother got me into silver a little over 15 months ago - you guys keep me going. Love all the Harry's coin shop episodes, and always eager to learn from the boys. Cheers to everyone over there from OZ
Harry You and the Crew are the best. The videos of fake coins has saved Me a lot of money. Keep it going You will have a million subs soon Happy Holidays Rich
While I understand the question here, I think we stretched this out way too long...it doesn't matter if it's .999 or .9999 it's 1oz....moving on! EDIT: And this idea of bartering is absolute nonsense! If the world ENDS is these people keep pushing the idea of and we have to live in a world where we need to survive somehow, it won't be by trading silver or gold. It'll be trading bullets at each other and taking what they want. Just nonsense!
@@JR-mc4wg Who uses logic? Think about it though! Doomsday preppers are all about you ain't gonna be able to survive w/o this currency or take my stuff! Someone will try and someone will succeed eventually, all I'm saying. There is no fair trade in a society that has died, only survival of the fittest. I agree it's a great hedge against inflation, I do purchase silver myself, but I'm not out breaking the bank to stockpile it for end of society scenarios that most of the stacker vloggers push. It's unrealistic to say the least!
Great video again. As far as questions go, I'd like to ask why Saint Helena silver coins and bars from the East India company always seem to trade for a lower premium than most others?. I have to admit that I like a lot of their designs.
Experienced stacker topic question: At what point do numismatic pieces lose their appeal? Would people crack out MS 68 Carson City's just to get to their silver content?
The 9999 fine silver will be very important for the high-end electronics circuitry industry that the A.i. revolution is going to usher-in. Ultra-pure silver nanowires will eventually replace Nvidia GPUs and Apple's Neural Engines
Started my stacking adventure this past week! Been wanting to get into it for awhile and glad I came across your videos for that push! Wish I was closer the Harry’s shop for sure. My question would be more numismatic related but what are Harry and the guys opinion on “error” coins?
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS. NO JOB NO PAY. BACK IN THOSE DAYS THE AVERAGE WORKER DIDN'T GET A PAPER PAYCHECK. THEY RECEIVED A PAY ENVELOPE WITH THEIR WAGES PAID IN CASH INSIDE THE PAY ENVELOPE.
This might be a fairly covered topic already but I haven't seen anything and that's "what's a fair premium?" Obviously that depends a lot on the product but are there general percentages for certain types of products? For example, I popped in my local shop the other day and they were selling 1oz silver Kruger Rands for $40 when spot was in between $29 and $30. American silver eagles were over $40, I think $41-$42, constitutional half dollars were a few dollars over spot when buying $1 face value and I asked them what they were buying .999 generic silver rounds for, they said about $25, so $4 under spot. On buying I could find better deals online, and factoring in shipping, all you have to do is buy a few pieces to make the deal, factoring shipping in, better than the store. It wasn't always like that there either 🤷♀️
Using your .9997 figure for 3 9’s, the difference between 3 9’s and 4 9’s (.9999) is actually 3 ten-thousandths. Sorry, but the engineer in me sometimes gets the upper hand! 🤣
Someday, Harry's hair color will be .999 Silver
Naw, his hair would be GOLD!
Hes the real silver dragon

Have you not noticed, it already is brother😅

I’m a sociologist, so I’m always interested in the PEOPLE involved in a hobby. It would be interesting to get Harry’s take on the different categories of stackers/collectors in precious metals and any trends over time or among groups that he has noticed.
I'm curious as to why so many otherwise intelligent people in this community tend to be Maga morons.
He gets into it a little and it's pretty neat.
I'm one stacker that stacks in preparation for God's plan to *TAKE BACK WHAT IS HIS.* He warns His kids & the wicked in Haggai 2:8, *"The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine, declares the Lord of hosts."* Then God instructs us further in Proverbs 13:22 by encouraging His kids that, *"...the wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up."* So my stacking adventure is knowing that my Father God in heaven *HAS BIG PLANS* that 99% will be surprised by. This is my mindset, brother.
@@lawrencecole6527 I considered doing some research on the community, but figured access would be an issue, given how people are understandably wary of sharing information about their involvement with precious metals.

You must be in Europe. What I do,my brother buys silver for me (@Harry's),and brings it to me. VAT is making no economically a good decision.
Thank you Silver Dragons, Adrian, and, of course, Harry! You teach everyone so much. Love these videos!
Though the difference between .999 and .9999 is technically small the higher purity does represent a better and more advanced refining process.
How difficult is it to send a coin in for grading? How much is the typical cost and how long does it take?
Here's a question: Are you going to do a 300k subscriber giveaway? Love your videos as always and congrats on 260k subscribers!
Great video, as always! I have learned so much!
I would like to know more about getting a proper safe for my stack, and how to select a good safe
And where to put that safe! Great questions.

An ounce of pure gold or silver should remain the base of a serious investment portfolio. Numismatics should remain a hobby item.
SD, I want to open a coin shop in my older years. I know that Harry got a later start in life so what's his advice on how to open a small LCS?
- Buying junk or scrap silver and gold
- Books for coins an ancient coins
- Definitely more about platinum
- Have you ever poured 90% junk silver ?
- stacking Copper, aluminum, titanium, stainless steel.
- How to start selling online and open your own coin an bullion shop
- Gold Eagles, Gold Maples how often should one buy
Sell some like when’s a good time to off load some gold or silver
Topic: I’m new to metals and don’t hear much about insuring a large stack against theft. Or is it supposed to remain undocumented and as secret as possible? If not insured I’d like to know how the typical stacker finds peace of mind. Is it simply the strongest safe you can afford?
I like the point on the clipped wings analogy
Is it worth investing in Alluvial gold or gold Nuggets.
.9999 looks so much better. Of my 1500 ounces my favourite piece is a 10oz RCM .9999 bar.
Harry and Adrian make this channel what it is. Good job Gentlemen.
My question for Harry and Adrian: Which do you recommend -- to stack on a weekly or monthly schedule corresponding to your pay periods as a regular discipline, or to hold your fiat currency and let it build up while you closely watch the markets and try to catch the dips? -- And if the latter, how much of a percentage drop in spot price really constitutes a "dip" in your opinion?
Great question!
Idea #1 - Protection & Storage (flips, capsules, tubes, and cardboard/stapled things) which to use for what coin? What not to buy? What to look for when buying? What Harry has in the store?
I was told by a local coin shop in Virginia Beach that .999 & .9999 didn't matter to them.
I look forward to finding and visiting Harry’s Coin Shop while visiting Portland this summer. Really hope he has some dimes available!
I like the Canadian Maples because they have the protective layer as a shield from tarnish and milk spots, but I stack the American Eagles too because I’m from Texas and it’s just truly a beautiful coin also more liquid here in the USA.
Maples spot more than I have seen than Eagles.Specially 2015 maple’s
@@Lonepatriot69 it was in 2018 a mint shield was developed by the Royal Canadian Mint to prevent milk spots and tarnish.
@@918KLRcan you tell me what a mint shield is? Is it some sort of coating added onto the silver?
@@af2w131f If you were hoping for a scientific breakdown of mintshield, the Royal Canadian Mint hasn’t been forthcoming with the actual information behind this proprietary new technology, but mintshield is an invisible barrier applied to the surface of 2018 and up Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins that protects against milk spots without causing any alteration in the coin’s composition or purity.
@@918KLR I went to their webpage and trying to understand all the marketing terms. It’s a lot of vague terms like “bullion DNA” etc but from what I can tell they partnered with a few French corporations that specialize in biometric technologies. Coins are initially photographed and then systems employed at various places with the scanning tech can identify and track coins locations while easily spotting fakes.
Can you do a full feature on coins from the British Mint? Thank you
That Adrian sure is a smart guy.
Harry is cool...and Harry's Coin Shop is COOL TOO!!
Nice intro...thank you for the upload! Greetings from Finland!
Would love to see a video specifically on Peace silver dollars. a 2nd suggestion would be 10oz silver bars.
Defiantly Something on peace dollars, under rated coins
Love this guys and love how Harry always steers Silver Dragons away from the doom and gloom talk.
Silver Dragons, have you put much thought into opening your own coin shop? This question also stands for the rest of Harry’s crew.
Firstly, I'm so grateful that I discovered this channel. Your videos are top notch with information shared that is close to error free, levels beyond 6 sigma, lol. (I wonder how many 9's that would be 😆) Having said that, perhaps an idea for future shows would be discuss a bit on hedging, i.e. longing/shorting/straddling precious metals positions not only for speculative purposes, but for purposes of managing cash flow based on inventory and dates of sales. After viewing a few videos, it is my understanding that Harry & Team really don't get into this type of stuff as they "make their living in the spread" (Idea for show # 2: Discuss more on the spread), but any insight from these coin super-minds would be extremely helpful. Thank you for considering. Sincerely, Media Pro.
I wish Beaverton & Birmingham,AL weren’t sooo far apart. I sure would be visiting you guys on a regular basis. No coin shops here in my area..PERIOD.
I agree💯. I was thinking the same thing. What a friendly place. It would be great to visit in person. They have so much to offer those of us wanting to expand our knowledge and our stacks!
They are the same in person as in the videos... Very genuine and kind. You'll have to plan a trip out to Oregon someday.

Hi SilverDragons! Thank you for the vlog! Definitely keep the silver eagles before the maples. For the US gold, I prefer the Buffalo over the Eagle.
I know nothing about trading/ Investing and I'm keen on getting started . What are some strategies to get started with ?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
I'm guided by a widely known crypto consultant
Mrs Selma Gena
This is correct, Selma Gena strategy has normalized winning trades for me also and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
Selma is considered a key Crypto Strategist with one of the best copy Trading portfolio and also very active in the cryptocurrency space.
Isn't that the same Selma Gena that my neighbours are talking about, she has to be a perfect expert for people to talk about her so well
Thanks for another great video! 260K congrats.
As a Canadian, I can confirm that the four nines thing is purely marketing. It's meaningless, they just use it to say "well, WE have purer silver than the other guys, buy from the RCM instead of rounds and foreign coins!!"
In 2011 4 9's was scarse and people where paying more for it.
@Tater-Skinz Counterfeiters will put 4 nines on the coins thinking that sheep will prefer those.
@Tater-Skinz
I am in Europe I prefer to buy Canadian maple leaf because the are I think not so easy to counterfeit
I am not interest at all in American Eagles because easy to make fake ones and i am not interest al all in buying them because why pay one cent more than other coins out there.
The design is good though, but I prefer also more the shiny coins.
I bought a tube of 2022 goddess Europe silver ounces an to my suprise they are absolutely beautiful.
In Australia Investment bullion has to be a certain purity for it not to attract Goods and services tax (VAT) for buying, or Capital Gains Tax for selling. Gold has to be (at least) 99.5%+ and silver 99.9%. So three 9's or 4 doesn't make any difference. My brother got me into silver a little over 15 months ago - you guys keep me going. Love all the Harry's coin shop episodes, and always eager to learn from the boys. Cheers to everyone over there from OZ
The star notes are absolutely a rip off 😂 only for the benefits of the dealer, suckers would pay premium for this kind of scam is ridiculous.
Harry You and the Crew are the best. The videos of fake coins has saved Me a lot of money. Keep it going You will have a million subs soon Happy Holidays Rich
I think there is no difference at all. Only marketing.
Learned a lot, i love learning the way you guys teach.
While I understand the question here, I think we stretched this out way too long...it doesn't matter if it's .999 or .9999 it's 1oz....moving on!
EDIT: And this idea of bartering is absolute nonsense! If the world ENDS is these people keep pushing the idea of and we have to live in a world where we need to survive somehow, it won't be by trading silver or gold. It'll be trading bullets at each other and taking what they want. Just nonsense!
Some of us believe in being prepared for whatever the situation could be, there will always be people who are never prepared for anything!
There's more than one way a civilization can die.
Yep, if it comes to the point where silver and gold bartering comes into play, things will be pretty bad in this country!
There's always one.
@@JR-mc4wg Who uses logic? Think about it though! Doomsday preppers are all about you ain't gonna be able to survive w/o this currency or take my stuff! Someone will try and someone will succeed eventually, all I'm saying. There is no fair trade in a society that has died, only survival of the fittest. I agree it's a great hedge against inflation, I do purchase silver myself, but I'm not out breaking the bank to stockpile it for end of society scenarios that most of the stacker vloggers push. It's unrealistic to say the least!
Great video again. As far as questions go, I'd like to ask why Saint Helena silver coins and bars from the East India company always seem to trade for a lower premium than most others?. I have to admit that I like a lot of their designs.
90% is the way to stack
Experienced stacker topic question: At what point do numismatic pieces lose their appeal? Would people crack out MS 68 Carson City's just to get to their silver content?
The 9999 fine silver will be very important for the high-end electronics circuitry industry that the A.i. revolution is going to usher-in. Ultra-pure silver nanowires will eventually replace Nvidia GPUs and Apple's Neural Engines
Started my stacking adventure this past week! Been wanting to get into it for awhile and glad I came across your videos for that push! Wish I was closer the Harry’s shop for sure. My question would be more numismatic related but what are Harry and the guys opinion on “error” coins?
We want to know if Harry is really wearing a toupee?
lol
I had no idea this shop was in Beaverton, I’ll have to stop by sometime.
Topic: Why didn't silver save us during the great depression when it was our money?
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS. NO JOB NO PAY. BACK IN THOSE DAYS THE AVERAGE WORKER DIDN'T GET A PAPER PAYCHECK. THEY RECEIVED A PAY ENVELOPE WITH THEIR WAGES PAID IN CASH INSIDE THE PAY ENVELOPE.
Silver will NEVER “Save us” . God saves. Silver and or gold benefits if under Gods blessing. Gold sure did not save atheist Madyln O Hare.
This might be a fairly covered topic already but I haven't seen anything and that's "what's a fair premium?" Obviously that depends a lot on the product but are there general percentages for certain types of products?
For example, I popped in my local shop the other day and they were selling 1oz silver Kruger Rands for $40 when spot was in between $29 and $30. American silver eagles were over $40, I think $41-$42, constitutional half dollars were a few dollars over spot when buying $1 face value and I asked them what they were buying .999 generic silver rounds for, they said about $25, so $4 under spot.
On buying I could find better deals online, and factoring in shipping, all you have to do is buy a few pieces to make the deal, factoring shipping in, better than the store. It wasn't always like that there either 🤷♀️
3 9’s is like .9997 so 2 millionths 😕 touch silver with bare hands your oils just corrupted it that much 😂🎉❤ those wackos who collect 40% nickels 😮😢🎉😂
I have about 20 war nickels a cool piece of history and just fun to stack for mostly free (unless you buy them) and they hold a 5 cent value.
Using your .9997 figure for 3 9’s, the difference between 3 9’s and 4 9’s (.9999) is actually 3 ten-thousandths. Sorry, but the engineer in me sometimes gets the upper hand! 🤣
@@918KLR I have some too I have found. But I’d never deliberately buy them for silver content. Same with the 40% half dollars. 🫣
@@918KLR how about henning nickels? Ever find any of those by chance?
Very Informative. Always fun to watch.
I love it when you do a video on Harry’s Corn Shop. It is always a pleasure to watch. I would like to see more of them.
Corn?
