I was always wondering why isn’t there an institution that grades silver or gold bars? That’ll be awesome to have different vintage bars, slabbed and graded. Maybe I should open one up
I've corresponded with NGC and asked them to begin grading vintage bars--I even offered the Lydia Hoard as a guinea pig. They were receptive to the idea but nothing so far. Which is odd--both PCGS and NGC have graded bars in certain circumstances. I have two unusual vintage silver bars that are graded by NGC.
A 1/4 oz gold coin question, please. Presently my budget allows me to buy 1/4, oz's, I am aware of the premiums vs 1ozers, but I always see the 1/4oz gold British Tutor coins at $30+ lower than other 1/4ozers like AGE, Maple, Britannia, etc...I haven’t collected the quarter ounce gold tutor coins in the past, but they are at such a great price being a 1/4oz that it’s frustrating vs buying a more expensive 1/4 gold ones. In your opinion, would you buy these because of the lower price? And why or why not, thank you!!
Hey Eli! I think you're asking about the British "Sovereign"? Made from 1817 up until today. You've asked a great and hotly-debated questions: Whether it's better to have modern, pure gold (.999) pure troy ounce fractions, or classic, vintage 90% Pre-1933 gold or those classic British sovereigns that are 91.67% pure. It's a great question. I have some of both, but I actually prefer the older pieces. Though I'm careful to buy only really nice examples. I talk about all of these in the Gold Rookie's First Purchase video series: ruclips.net/p/PLebJigXP2OH-71V1YscNZlPvDJl2SGGHD
If that's APMEX (American Precious Metals Exchange), then not really. They were founded in 2000. So their poured bars would be considered "retro". I'd loosely define vintage bars as pre-1985. But others may not be so strict.
Just stamped "American precious metals in (fancy cursive ) pure silver( in fancy cursive) .999 fine silver 25 troy ounces oz serial number 1558 and an A on the backside poured bathtub with knarly cooling canyon in the middle with four-sided teeth where a little inch long canyon formed
Sounds really interesting! I just searched my regular resources and couldn't find a reference. Unfortunately with a name that uses so many commonly searched words, even combining "American Precious Metals" with Silver and/or Bar just leads to so many dead ends. I bet it's something special though.
Thank you for another wonderful and informative video. Learning more and more every video you post. Keep up with the great content. Can you please do a video about U.S Philippines coinage? I’d really appreciate it.
The US pieces of the Philippines is a really great topic! Unfortunately I've sold a few really nice examples of my pesos in the last 5 years. But let me think about it. In the mean time, there are some gorgeous PROOF pesos coming up at Heritage soon: coins.ha.com/itm/philippines/1906-peso-philippines-peso-km-168-allen-1607-pr68-pcgs-pcgs-90405-/a/1376-4483.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515
Great questions! No, the 1949 onzas and even those made from 1978-1980 are probably more correctly called "medals" or "medallions". Made by a sovereign country, but with no face value. Modern libertads are coins, and I'd be fine calling them coins or "NCLT"--non-circulating legal tender.
Ha, I am NOT new to stacking / precious metals but I still learned something from your video. Every day’s a school day 😀. Nice video - thank you!
Hi Dub-C, Thank you for the vlog! You have a great way of explaining things to make anything understandable.
That's very kind, Miles! Missed you tonight. Hope to see you Friday!
Great video and live session. Some great tips here.
You did great with this. Great for most stackers!
A meeting place in France? I learned something from the chat too!
I like that sterling ship medal.
Thanks, Homestead!
Awesome stuff Dub C! BTW Love that Emirates Kilo bar.

You know that's why Webster invented the dictionary, yeah?
Because he got tired of his wife saying, "Now what does that mean?"
Do you know if American precious metals poured bars are vintage?

Great video cover a little 40%

And gold

Good idea about the 40%. I did a tiny little video about Landis. Check it out:
