I think the best is the CHEAPEST! When it comes to selling them, the LCS is prob gonna pay the same for all. You can always sell peer to peer and maybe get a little better price for certain ones. Ever since I sold my vintage, I no longer have a fav
I Agree 100% I started buying G&S 5 yrs ago … a older friend got me into it He Said ( don’t buy any slab coins, nothing with high premium or collectibles) because when you sell it to a shop They only care how much silver it has That’s It‼️ so that’s what I do . Only thing I Treat myself to at times is my Mexican Mint coins 😬👍🏽🙏🏽. Patriot your awesome 👏🏽
Gotta love them all, but I would give the edge to the Germania Mint. I've got a couple of the 5 oz Germania's also, nice chunky little things. Thanks for the video!
I never stacked bars before until around Christmas. I got 4 two oz Monarch's then I thought hey a 5 oz Monarch! Then after looking for my next bar I saw the 10 oz Germania and that's all I've been getting. So beautiful and hefty. Have 4 so far.
Just purchased two 10 ounce Germania bars when Silver was $22.12 an ounce. Already purchased 1 ounce silver bar & coins for grandkids Christmas present ( along with what I tell them is always the right size & color. Yep cash ).
Scottsdale Stackers, Germania and Brits. If I can't find a deal on them when the price is right I'll pick up other stuff with an eye toward making sure my other bars have at least one partner. I want a couple of Cutsaws because I like to let one of each bar go unprotected to let it tone and I think those Cutsaws are going to look amazing with some tone. I always start my search hoping to find Stackers at the right price. Those are my favorite.
Up here in Canada the Scottsdale Stackers are much more expensive than RCM bars, and much harder to get, but I grab them whenever I can they're awesome.
i had to buy some 10 oz britianna bars earlier this month when they were on sale. they’re just beautiful. i used to stack silvertowne prospectors a long time ago before they quit putting serial numbers on them. they didn’t pass the savings along to us when they eliminated that step. i’m just now starting to pick them up when they’re on sale. i love the scottsdale stackers but will only buy them when they’re on sale. ive been getting good deals on sunshine minting bars here lately. i don’t have any igr or germania bars. i do like the fact that germania puts serial numbers on their bars and package them in plastic as well as boxes. that’s a nice touch. i mostly stack kilos over 10s but i still buy them when i find a great deal. good video
All great bars I do love the Brit’s but only buy them when on sale and I love the silvertowne prospectors , nice vintage touch to those but yes kilos are definitely a favorite of mine too , love the Perth mint kilos and the Germania kilos 👊🏻🇺🇸
The IGRs are a great generic bar and so as the others you named. That’s awesome that your LCS beats the online dealers 😎👊🏻🇺🇸 hard to find those nowadays.
I really like the fat Germania mint 10 oz bars. I have 50....500 oz of them. I like the fat smaller bar style. Currently working on another 500 oz of 500gram bars. I have 20. Need 12 more to break that 1000 oz goal.
Those are three really great bars! I don't have any of them but I like them all for the reasons you mentioned! I guess, out of 10oz bars, I would say I like to stack JM and Engelhard the most!
I think those 3 are great choices and I agree with you. I have a few of each of them, but honestly I have more RCM bars than anything followed by Scottdale and then just general generics.
Scottsdale Stackers are great, and not too expensive. I like all of them, including the 10oz bars, but the Scottsdale 5 oz rounds are really neat. Cheap is great, but I also think a couple of bucks for a little extra effort isn't bad. My favorite 10oz bar is the Brittania, there's no comparison, totally a beautiful work of art. I do generics also, but it is good to have silver that is interesting.
I do love my ten oz bars and really love how my Scottsdale stackers go together and can hold 10 of them in one hand easier than the ones that aren't stackers. Great video buddy
@@gpg9516 that's awesome man. I have a big order that's been lost since the 16th and hope it's found because there's a limited Mintage piece in it that is sold out EVERYWHERE. I know they'll reship everything except that if need be but I have the carrier serviced always screwing something up
@@AnxiousStacker you must be stoked waiting on a hard-to-find piece. I’m easily entertained; I ooh and aahh over everything I order even if I have the same bar already. I’d love a couple of things from the Royal Mint but darn!$$$ pricey. Enjoy that order when it arrives.
ive been realizing recently how nice the scottsdale bars are. i love those igr cast bars for sure too! theyre beautiful! the stackable ones are amazing for stacking in the safe though! i want them both hahaha
i just bought some new unity & liberty 10 oz silver bars in hero bullion. they are always usually the cheapest but both sides look amazing. i am planning to stack those and the scottsdale 10 oz bars
Scottsdale stackers, Valcambi, and RCM. Those are the three 10 oz. bars I stack on a rotating basis. (If one of those three happen to be on sale, it jumps to the print of my purchase line.)
I’ve seen a lot of the Nadir and Italio bars lately. Being new to stacking I’m wondering if one is better than the other. I’d hate to buy something with a bad stigma.
I like Germania Mint Bars. .9999 Beautiful Bars I been into Kilos but how to make change? Either way Germania mint from Monumental ... best bet. Edit to add 10 oz Bars I like the Road to Roota Bars from Miles Franklin to support Bix Weir,..... I vacuum seal all my bars I like Germania , Scottsdale, and Eagles in that order.
It’s funny to hear the RCM bars are considered premium bars these days. They were always the cheapest option for 10oz. Trippy how things change. Did you get any of the ebay/RCM bars back in the day?
I like the IGR bar a lot. But I hear others speak of the concern of being from Turkey, (like how there’s more and more people not buying the pandas because of China’s policies ) thoughts? Thanks. Great collection. I go for the cheaper nicer bars too. I like the Italo bars as well
The main reason for stacking bars is to increase silver weight at the best value (i.e., lowest premium over spot). I get the most generic 10-oz bars that I can find as long as they're from at least a semi-recognizable mint. If I'm going to pay extra just to have a fancy bar with beautiful art that's made by a sovereign government mint, then I may as well just buy their coins instead. Paying a higher premium for a fancy silver bar pretty much defeats the whole purpose of buying bars. [Disclaimer: Sure, if you love fancy silver bars and that's your thing and it's what motivates you to stack, by all means have at it. The argument here is simply for building up silver weight as inexpensively as possible.]
The 10oz Silver Brittania bars were $2.49 over spot on any quantity on SD Bullion a couple of weeks ago. They were $233 each versus $240'ish for the Scottsdale Mint bars.
Those germania bars are beautiful..and the rcm are my favorites...but i stack the brits they are great looking and cheap. Edit...i save by trading my silver to a local lcs even for my silver to gold ... he makes more by selling 85 to 90 of my silver oz so hes ok with with even trades to gold. I lose nothong and he profits.
10 Ounce bars are great, I love stacking them! You showed some really nice bars to stack with in this video!
Thanks SS 😎👊🏻🇺🇸 love the 10oz
I love the igr 10 ozt bars the best ... cute chunky little bars ...
Exactly! Definitely a great bar!
I think the best is the CHEAPEST! When it comes to selling them, the LCS is prob gonna pay the same for all. You can always sell peer to peer and maybe get a little better price for certain ones. Ever since I sold my vintage, I no longer have a fav
💯
I agree with you , those IGR bars and Germania bars are like two of the top 5 cheapest bars to stack. Btw congrats on 1k skully 😊
I Agree 100%
I started buying G&S 5 yrs ago … a older friend got me into it He Said ( don’t buy any slab coins, nothing with high premium or collectibles) because when you sell it to a shop They only care how much silver it has That’s It‼️ so that’s what I do . Only thing I Treat myself to at times is my Mexican Mint coins 😬👍🏽🙏🏽. Patriot your awesome 👏🏽
My favorites are when I get lucky at the LCS and find an older vintage bar for close to generic bar prices.
Isn’t that great what that happens 🤩👊🏻🇺🇸
I love 10oz bars. NTR has been my goto when it's available.
Best 10oz bars are the ones I can get cheapest! 🤣🤣🤣 Great vid, brotha!
Right 😂
I completely agree Patriot! Not only are they always in demand but they also hold solid value when resold.
Exactly! Thank you my friend 😎🇺🇸
What ever kind you like best!! Always stack what you like👍 great video
Exactly 😎👊🏻🇺🇸 thank you!
Gotta love them all, but I would give the edge to the Germania Mint. I've got a couple of the 5 oz Germania's also, nice chunky little things. Thanks for the video!
Yeah Germania is great 🤩 thanks for watching!
im a fan of the 9 fine mints great packaging
Yup very nice generic bars made by APMEX 😎👊🏻
Today in September 2024 the RCM is about the same price as the Scottsdale Silver Stackers. The stackers seem to be higher now
10-oz bars are my favorite as well! I love the Germania mint bars.
Omg they are great 🤩👊🏻
I never stacked bars before until around Christmas. I got 4 two oz Monarch's then I thought hey a 5 oz Monarch! Then after looking for my next bar I saw the 10 oz Germania and that's all I've been getting. So beautiful and hefty. Have 4 so far.
Once you start you can’t stop it’s a addiction 😂 but congrats, keep stacking my friend 😎👊🏻🇺🇸
Just purchased two 10 ounce Germania bars when Silver was $22.12 an ounce. Already purchased 1 ounce silver bar & coins for grandkids Christmas present ( along with what I tell them is always the right size & color. Yep cash ).
I like the classic A mark stackers. But those a premium pieces
Yeah for premium bars I’m all over engelhards , AMarks , jm, giegers , so many Gaga
Most of my stack is also the 10 oz. I buy what my LCS has I like variety
Yeah me too when I’m at the LCS 😎👊🏻🇺🇸
Scottsdale Stackers, Germania and Brits. If I can't find a deal on them when the price is right I'll pick up other stuff with an eye toward making sure my other bars have at least one partner. I want a couple of Cutsaws because I like to let one of each bar go unprotected to let it tone and I think those Cutsaws are going to look amazing with some tone. I always start my search hoping to find Stackers at the right price. Those are my favorite.
Great choices of bars we are very similar 👊🏻 and yes those cutsaws unity bars are awesome , definitely would like to see a toned one 😎👊🏻
I like 10 oz bars also. I have a great variety. Hard to pick one favorite.
Yeah me too , I love em all haha
I like all three
Hell yeah bro 😎👊🏻🇺🇸
Great video man, appreciate it.
I like bars for safety deposit box
I hate safety deposit boxes 😣😂
Hands down Scottsdale stackers for silver and Pamp suisse for gold
Up here in Canada the Scottsdale Stackers are much more expensive than RCM bars, and much harder to get, but I grab them whenever I can they're awesome.
Yeah both are very easy to get in the states but 90% of the time the rcm bars are about $10-$20 over the stackers
Great video as usual! I also love low premium 10 ounce bars.
Thank you my friend 😊

All of them. Specially the cheap ones
Exactly 😂😎👊🏻🇺🇸
IGR are my go-to bar. Italia and Silvertowne depending on what my LCS has, he always beats the online prices.
The IGRs are a great generic bar and so as the others you named. That’s awesome that your LCS beats the online dealers 😎👊🏻🇺🇸 hard to find those nowadays.

I stack mostly 10 oz bars for weight. I like the 9 fine mint for low premiums.
Yup definitely a great generic bar 😎👊🏻
The best ones are the ones in my possession
Truth🤣
Right 😂
It depends where you live. Here in MID EUROPE in 10 oz bars Britannias are cheapest. I have to say that you also dont have much to chose from here.
Hi Patriotic stacker! What's about the 10oz bar from PAMP? Nice video by the way! My greetings from Switzerland!!! 👋🇨🇭🙏
I looooooove the germania bars. I am saving up for a kilo bar and I'm really excited for the new 1oz bars!
Omg those Germania kilos are to die for , very beautiful mint!
I Love 10 oz Scottsdale Cast Chunky Bars!🥈
i love 10oz bars
Me too 🤩🇺🇸
Those are three really great bars! I don't have any of them but I like them all for the reasons you mentioned! I guess, out of 10oz bars, I would say I like to stack JM and Engelhard the most!
Well if we are talking high premium 10oz 😉 well I’d say engelhard , old silvertowne , Amark, JM and Geiger 🤩
I go for the cheapest when getting 10oz silver bars. It’s for weight
Find the deals 👊🏻
You raise a good point Skully, I love when my shop has some vintage in that's same price as a new bar.
Just bought 1 for $350. Wish I would have bought when this video came out
I think those 3 are great choices and I agree with you. I have a few of each of them, but honestly I have more RCM bars than anything followed by Scottdale and then just general generics.
Love the RCM bars just wish they would be a bit cheaper
Scottsdale all the way!
My man 😎👊🏻🇺🇸

Great video. LIked and subbed. My local coin shop sells the liberty & Unity bars at a very good price so I scoop up the 5 and 10 ounce bars.
Best bars to Stack is 10 oz & 1 kg 999.9 Pure Silver bars
Exactly 😎👊🏻🤩
I do love my ten oz bars and really love how my Scottsdale stackers go together and can hold 10 of them in one hand easier than the ones that aren't stackers. Great video buddy
I really love the Scottsdales too and hope their fives will be available soon.
@@gpg9516 that'd be awesome but ten oz'ers are definitely my sweet spot.
@@AnxiousStacker I get it, I have some due to arrive Friday👍
@@gpg9516 that's awesome man. I have a big order that's been lost since the 16th and hope it's found because there's a limited Mintage piece in it that is sold out EVERYWHERE. I know they'll reship everything except that if need be but I have the carrier serviced always screwing something up

i just bought some new unity & liberty 10 oz silver bars in hero bullion.
they are always usually the cheapest but both sides look amazing.
i am planning to stack those and the scottsdale 10 oz bars
I like Pamp and Germania 10 oz bars, Scottsdale and sunshine mint make great ones too.
In Europe we pay so much more per ounce if we buy bars instead of coins.
Any 10 oz fine bar is suitable to stack! Silver is silver!
I agree with the any 10oz bars are great to stack but not all silver is created equal . Thanks for watching 👊🏻😎🇺🇸
Scottsdale stackers, Valcambi, and RCM. Those are the three 10 oz. bars I stack on a rotating basis. (If one of those three happen to be on sale, it jumps to the print of my purchase line.)
Silver is good
For those of starting out, and on a budget, it's kind of like beer in college. Quantity, not quality! ( or asthetics)
Yes build the base
I’ve seen a lot of the Nadir and Italio bars lately. Being new to stacking I’m wondering if one is better than the other.
I’d hate to buy something with a bad stigma.

I have ten ounce bar of East india 🇮🇳 but hopefully more to come I also have a five ounce 9 fine mint and plan on more
Where do you get your Scottsdale bars, I find rcm bars online for cheaper
I'll still do a kilo anyday over a 10oz.
My 3 most favorite bars are the cheapest I find on the day I’m in the market 👍🏼
If I have the cash to buy a 10 ounce bar I’m buying a 1/10 ounce gold. To each his own. But, I would rather have the gold.
It’s funny to hear the RCM bars are considered premium bars these days. They were always the cheapest option for 10oz. Trippy how things change.

Scottsdale, Britannia & pamp
I think 10oz is the sweet spot. I love em! Scotsdale stackers all the way! 😆 🤣
Is Scottsdale Mint on EBay a reputable source?
100% or you can order from my link might be cheaper. I’m a ambassador to Scottsdale Mint
www.scottsdalemint.com/shop?sld=patrioticstacker
The 10oz Silver Brittania bars were $2.49 over spot on any quantity on SD Bullion a couple of weeks ago. They were $233 each versus $240'ish for the Scottsdale Mint bars.
That’s a outstanding price for those to bad I missed that
It’s the bar you own! And this is nothing but show and tell.
