Great list! I'd also like to add the Federal deficit, the interest on the Federal debt soon eclipsing our entire defense budget, 11 trillion in treasuries resetting this year that will rapidly accelerate the interest on the Federal debt even more, the possible confiscation of Russia's 300 billion in dollar holdings which will make holding dollars less attractive to foreigners, Jared Bernstein who is Biden's Chief Economist and Economic Advisor desire to dethrone the dollar as the world reserve currency, BRICS, inflation, silver being vastly undervalued when you consider this inflation, Gold being scooped up by Central Banks around the world, currency resets in Argentina and more recently Egypt, socialist policies in America that will cause even more money printing, Ukraine, Israel, and the Red Sea along with possible hot spots in Iran, the Korean Peninsula, Tawain and South America, the cancellation of the bank bailout program on Monday, and finally Powell admitting this week that more bank failures are coming. My price target for Gold is 2800. My price target for Silver is 56-70.
@@ComicLover-oj5sv Wow, those are, great additions to the list! Also add that gold is shiny, pretty, and unexpectedly heavy for its size, which makes it cute, while silver has a soft glow and feels so nice and silky when rubbed with the hands. And that about says it all.
I think we all have more time to stack at these fair value/under valued prices before silver finally takes off. We will be back to the $22.50 range in no time. Patients is key here never be in a rush to buy your precious metals is one thing I have learned over the years!

@@theboringchannel2027 Not sure about your math there bud. In 1979 the minimum wage was $2.90/hour which means silver was around about 2.5 hours pay per ounce of the minimum wage. Today the minimum wage is $7.90 which makes silver about the same against the minimum wage or slightly better even, which means that silver purchased in 1979 would have made the money invested inflation proof.

In 1980, I was a kid with a coin collection. Dad took me to a coin dealer and he offered me $200 a roll for some OBW JFK 64 halves. I declined because I figured the spot silver was worth about $300+ a roll. That was a lot of money to turn down. Glad I kept them. It was crazy. One coin dealer friend of mine told me his dad saw a bank box of Unc walkers go to the melter. There was just so much. I remember two Uhauls squatted down with silver from buying in a large building at Washington Courthouse, Oh. Crazy. Lots of good coins were lost.
I would have your coin checked, since you paid under spot price when you bought it, unfortunately its likely FAKE. Why would someone sell you a coin for LESS than spot price?
@@theboringchannel2027 not to worry it's real. I buy most of my gold/silver from estate sales, yard sales, thrift stores and antique shops. You'd be surprised what you can find for under spot. I once bought a $5 gold liberty head coin for $10 at a yard sale and have gotten pre 65 silver coins for face value. I've been doing this long enough to know pretty much what's real and what's fake. I still had it looked at by someone else in the business just in case. I bought 4 gold eagles and 2 maple leafs from the same private seller. Kept 1 eagle and also gave 1 eagle to my dad.

Silver has been 'exploding' ever since people who are sponsored by SD bullion started being sponsored. Buy to hedge against inflation, not to get rich.
This. Precious metals sold as good investments are over hyped by doomsday preppers and people who think the world is going to end. I feel like there is some primal urge for guys to horde gold and silver and bury it under there house and guard it like a dog. Precious metal demand comes mostly from the tech sector, something people don't think about as the two do correlate price wise when things go down or up like now. In general it would be much better to put it in a high yield savings account, or even better diversify that with some ETF's, then as you say gold is a good hedge against inflation. Just my opinion.
Has anyone ever left a silver coin as a tip? Not like constitutional silver but like a silver eagle. I think it would be interesting to tip someone with a silver coin and see how they react or have them pick between a $20 bill and a coin and see which they choose and why.
I have- to one of the younger girls at the lounge I used to go to. I remember like a year later she came up to me a thanked me over and over again. She was a immigrant , lucky to have gotten to American. I left her a ASE. She still had it after a year, probably still has it. It was differently worth it to see her face light up . And the fact that after a year she told me how much she appreciated it.

Silver is never going to explode while it is being manipulated, this has been going on for years. The FBI needs to step in and straighten out this issue, otherwise it's just going to be a rollercoaster ride with the prices.
There is no ratio that matters. You guys have got to stop using that. The only reason there was ever a” ratio “ is because it used to be LEGALLY mandated. It hasn’t been for a long time. Totally different uses, recycling rates, collection etc.
@@TheBajamin Actually? There's a VERY GOOD reason to use it. It shows you how undervalued silver is. If metals were stopped being manipulated tomorrow, and they moved to their *_TRUE_* value? I would make more profit on my one ounce of silver than you would make on your one ounce of gold. As gold increases in cost while silver stays the same? Your profit margin shrinks while mine increases. _Do I really have to tell you all this?_
Well, I think @1793 the U.S. govt. Coinage Act established a 15:1 ratio. Of course that was before central bank and govt. manipulation. We need a hard reset by abolishing the fed and going back to gold backed treasury notes. And historically even the Roman Empire and other eras had the ratio range 15/12:1.
The story about the Hunt brothers is very under told by many people. Dig deeper. When the Hunt brothers were buying up Silver, ALL metals were also hitting record highs at the time, not just Silver. The reason they got all the publicity is because the defaulted on a loan. Yes, they owned a lot, but no, I don't think the silver spike was 100% on them.
I didn’t know his coinshop was in Beaverton. I’m only couple hours away. The coinshop in Eugene is nice but the people running it are not friendly. I can’t go in and look in their cases without someone bugging me to buy something or leave.
I think gold is going to have a retracement/backtest as people take profits; silver will suffer hard on the back test; and then when gold starts running again, silver will as well. I could be wrong. This gold move is pretty dang strong and it doesn't really appear to be slowing. That said; people buying gold won't move the needle. The comex doesn't work like that. Paper market is moved by paper trades; not quite by demand.
Have you heard about the "East Coast Follow Home Crew" who are following coin dealers home from shows and robbing them? Do you take steps to make yourself a hard target?
It's really interesting listening to people in the US talk about silver. In the UK it's not such a good buy due to VAT and to take advantage of the ratio or price changes is a dicey game. The way I approach it is buy gold whenever I can afford it and buy silver just so I'm not spending on crap. Over the last year my gold buys are 15% up over qhat I paid and Silver is about 20% under. It's a stark difference. Both will sit there forever unless there's a stock market crash and I liquidate to buy stocks and shares cheap

@@ComicLover-oj5sv Wow, those are, great additions to the list! Also add that gold is shiny, pretty, and unexpectedly heavy for its size, which makes it cute, while silver has a soft glow and feels so nice and silky when rubbed with the hands. And that about says it all.
@@ComicLover-oj5sv Do you see those prices happening this year? Or is it something you're looking at in two to three years?

I think we all have more time to stack at these fair value/under valued prices before silver finally takes off. We will be back to the $22.50 range in no time. Patients is key here never be in a rush to buy your precious metals is one thing I have learned over the years!
Patients is what a doctor has in their office. Don't need any more of those.
I appreciate the advice but it's real. I actually bought four 1 ounce gold eagles and two 1 ounce gold maples from the same private seller. They said if I bought them all in cash they'd give me a really great deal. I kept 1 eagle and gave another eagle to my dad and sold the other 4 coins immediately. I go to estate sales, garage sales and thrift shops etc and you'd be surprised at the deals you can find under spot. I once bought a $5 gold liberty head in a 14k bezel and chain for $10 at a garage sale and the lady knowing it was a gift from her father said she was sure it was real and it was. I've been buying gold/silver for a while now so I pretty much know what to look for. I still get second opinions though sometimes.

I started stacking 1 year ago when silver was over $25 per ounce. It peaked out at $25.90 in May. I didn't know better and bought about 1/3 of my current stack during that month. Gold was at $2002.
Don’t worry bro.
Just stack when you can
1979 silver was 7.25
If you bought in 1979, and held until today,
your net return, adjusted for inflation,
is MINUS 24..978%,
meaning you lost 25% of your money's value
over that time period, or 0.64% per year.
Thought silver was a store house of value?
How is that possible, if it lost 25% in value
over that 45 year time period?
I wasn't around for the earlier silver explosions but I do remember 2011 quite well. Lots of sellers and surprisingly lots of buyers. I guess we'll see what happens when silver starts to climb!

Imagine those who were clever enough to have bought in 1979 and then sold in 1980 at $50. They 6X'd their money. It's easy to focus on the negative when price suppression has been so prolific for so long. Silver's time will come and it will blow people's minds.@@theboringchannel2027
@@theboringchannel2027 Not sure about your math there bud. In 1979 the minimum wage was $2.90/hour which means silver was around about 2.5 hours pay per ounce of the minimum wage. Today the minimum wage is $7.90 which makes silver about the same against the minimum wage or slightly better even, which means that silver purchased in 1979 would have made the money invested inflation proof.

You buy silver now and trade it for gold when the ratio goes down.

way to go Harry, glad your still around and telling it like it was, because its happening again, Gold could easily do a 20X in the next couple years. markets are like 1999, gold like it 1979, and the all time bubble everything denial is like it was in 1929.

Silver is undervalued. Period.
That's one question I have. Why would I invest in something that is undervalue? And I know the price is manipulated.

I had no clue you where located in Beaverton. I will have to stop by! I sold all my silver in 2011 and I inherited y collection in the 90’s.
In 1980, I was a kid with a coin collection. Dad took me to a coin dealer and he offered me $200 a roll for some OBW JFK 64 halves. I declined because I figured the spot silver was worth about $300+ a roll. That was a lot of money to turn down. Glad I kept them. It was crazy. One coin dealer friend of mine told me his dad saw a bank box of Unc walkers go to the melter. There was just so much. I remember two Uhauls squatted down with silver from buying in a large building at Washington Courthouse, Oh. Crazy. Lots of good coins were lost.
Those JFK halves are the most common !

unfortunately its likely FAKE.
Why would someone sell you a coin for LESS than spot price?
@@theboringchannel2027 not to worry it's real. I buy most of my gold/silver from estate sales, yard sales, thrift stores and antique shops. You'd be surprised what you can find for under spot. I once bought a $5 gold liberty head coin for $10 at a yard sale and have gotten pre 65 silver coins for face value. I've been doing this long enough to know pretty much what's real and what's fake.

Great interview awesome coin shop!!
Silver has been 'exploding' ever since people who are sponsored by SD bullion started being sponsored. Buy to hedge against inflation, not to get rich.
This. Precious metals sold as good investments are over hyped by doomsday preppers and people who think the world is going to end. I feel like there is some primal urge for guys to horde gold and silver and bury it under there house and guard it like a dog. Precious metal demand comes mostly from the tech sector, something people don't think about as the two do correlate price wise when things go down or up like now. In general it would be much better to put it in a high yield savings account, or even better diversify that with some ETF's, then as you say gold is a good hedge against inflation. Just my opinion.
@@felixthecat580 a commenters entire opinion is entirely negated if they can't spell their. makes you wonder how intelligent they are.
Harry needs a video screen out front showing the Chinese lined up around the block buying gold and silver recently.

If you're standing outside a shop like harry is saying thats a good time to have a side arm on ya to protect yourself as well as your treasure
Here in the Portland metro area? It's *ALWAYS* a good idea to be armed!

Im so happy I sold half of my silver stack years ago and bought more gold
i can’t wait to go back to oregon again. i will make sure to visit harry because i like him. good people deserve good business
Since March 1st, Gold is up 5% and Silver is up 10%
Great video, i keep trying to inform the people
Problem with lining up is it puts a target on your back by alerting others that you stack .
I wish HARRY would do his OWN show!!! WITH his guys there!!!
Has anyone ever left a silver coin as a tip? Not like constitutional silver but like a silver eagle. I think it would be interesting to tip someone with a silver coin and see how they react or have them pick between a $20 bill and a coin and see which they choose and why.
I have- to one of the younger girls at the lounge I used to go to.
I remember like a year later she came up to me a thanked me over and over again.
She was a immigrant , lucky to have gotten to American.
I left her a ASE.
She still had it after a year, probably still has it.
It was differently worth it to see her face light up .
And the fact that after a year she told me how much she appreciated it.
Americans tip too much! Do not tip if you visit Australia ok. Got it.
incredibly friendly people!!! If I didn't live thousands of kilometers away (Austria), I would come by and buy too.
Thanks harry these times are so unpredictable so people you need to have gold and or silver to take care of your family guys !!
My aunt and uncle lived right next door too Jonathan’s coins - I remember my dad and I going in there a couple of times in the early 70’s. There was also a bodega and video store near- the apartments my family lived in is gone now just a motel
Always happy to see a new video from Harry, Richard & the guys...they're starting to feel like family.

What typically happens when gold jumps up in price, there is a huge sell off, and the price drops.
Maybe shops will need to see customers by appointment.
I bought 4 more bars of gold today.

Of course, when I get on a gold kick it goes to an all time high. I will keep after it until it becomes unobtanium.
I sold a graded buffalo in Europe the other day and the shop wouldn’t take it until I removed it from the slab.
Yep. You buy the coin, not the holder it comes in.
Same here in a Asian country.
Took a one ounce Pamp gold bar-
They wanted to remove it from the assay card the come in.
I said no problem
They put it though a few test and I think a x ray gun.
Offered me above spot. I took it.

Gold sells at a premium- so you get more selling there.
Your dealer doesn’t have the equipment to measure gold purity through a slab? Are they active dealers or hacks?

Silver is never going to explode while it is being manipulated, this has been going on for years. The FBI needs to step in and straighten out this issue, otherwise it's just going to be a rollercoaster ride with the prices.
The FBI is probably involved in it,
Unfortunately, central banks are not buying silver.
So what? They're buying gold though.
Or fortunately because the price would be way high and we wouldn’t be able to buy it cheap as now.
Not yet
With the 'Gold to Silver ratio' at almost 90 to 1? _When it should be around 20 or 30 to 1?_
How can anyone *NOT* be buying silver? *People are NUTS!*
There is no ratio that matters. You guys have got to stop using that. The only reason there was ever a” ratio “ is because it used to be LEGALLY mandated. It hasn’t been for a long time. Totally different uses, recycling rates, collection etc.
@@TheBajamin Actually? There's a VERY GOOD reason to use it.
It shows you how undervalued silver is.
If metals were stopped being manipulated tomorrow, and they moved to their *_TRUE_* value?
I would make more profit on my one ounce of silver than you would make on your one ounce of gold. As gold increases in cost while silver stays the same? Your profit margin shrinks while mine increases.
_Do I really have to tell you all this?_
@@DuckGuy-1957hope you are 8 years old?
Only chance you'll have to live to see silver worth anything!
Well, I think @1793 the U.S. govt. Coinage Act established a 15:1 ratio. Of course that was before central bank and govt. manipulation. We need a hard reset by abolishing the fed and going back to gold backed treasury notes. And historically even the Roman Empire and other eras had the ratio range 15/12:1.

The story about the Hunt brothers is very under told by many people. Dig deeper.
When the Hunt brothers were buying up Silver, ALL metals were also hitting record highs at the time, not just Silver. The reason they got all the publicity is because the defaulted on a loan. Yes, they owned a lot, but no, I don't think the silver spike was 100% on them.
Buy now and often.

I didn’t know his coinshop was in Beaverton. I’m only couple hours away. The coinshop in Eugene is nice but the people running it are not friendly. I can’t go in and look in their cases without someone bugging me to buy something or leave.
I think gold is going to have a retracement/backtest as people take profits; silver will suffer hard on the back test; and then when gold starts running again, silver will as well.
I could be wrong. This gold move is pretty dang strong and it doesn't really appear to be slowing. That said; people buying gold won't move the needle. The comex doesn't work like that. Paper market is moved by paper trades; not quite by demand.
Have you heard about the "East Coast Follow Home Crew" who are following coin dealers home from shows and robbing them?
Do you take steps to make yourself a hard target?
So the big question is if you bought gold at $1800 when do I sell? If I buy more Au now when would I sell that?
79, that's when I went back to college, figured by the time I got out, the economy would be picking back up and maybe I could get a decent job.
Ya gotta be packin' HEAT, gentlemen.
It's really interesting listening to people in the US talk about silver. In the UK it's not such a good buy due to VAT and to take advantage of the ratio or price changes is a dicey game. The way I approach it is buy gold whenever I can afford it and buy silver just so I'm not spending on crap. Over the last year my gold buys are 15% up over qhat I paid and Silver is about 20% under. It's a stark difference. Both will sit there forever unless there's a stock market crash and I liquidate to buy stocks and shares cheap
