@SilverStruck Yes I agree, it's going to be a great GAW hopefully I don't mess around & miss out on it. I'm really needing to get another Guard house box soon
That Krugerrand is SICK! That Chunk of silver at the start (fox) would be an amazing desk paperweight! SO many cool art bars! That Paul Bunyan is fantastic! I wish I had a friend from Georgia! I think the Bunyan is my favorite.
Oh man. I’m thinking about the melt value: 25*spot price silver. I mean I love the cleaners who take care of my office but I’m not sure I trust them *that* much!
Happy New Year Bean! I'll do a more detailed video at some point on the T Fox! My rare Prospectors are back from anacs the LCS tells me- 3 months that took. Hoping to do a completed proof collection video on those soon.
Amazing haul!! Love that big chonker!! The Paul Bunyan bar is also Hamilton Mint. Thomas Jefferson is a Madison Mint bar. Never seen a Tri-State Dragon round before!
Found the Dragon round on Ebay- that one goes for a big asking price. Thank you for the help on the two bars!! Always appreciated knowledge coming from you sir!
G'day Silver Struck, what an amazing unboxing of vintage silver from your friend from Georgia, such a big variety of bars and rounds to add to your stack, cool that there are some new & rare additions, the huge 25oz T FOX chunky bar certainly has the wow factor, your friend is very generous to offer a mini gold Krugerrand in a future GAW, thanks for sharing an enjoyable unboxing. Cheers Peter J 😂👋🔥🎁💪👍
That little Krugerrand is super neat! I'll be planing a gaw as soon as I can to give that away along with some other items. The Fox T bar was not expected- pretty neat vintage bar, so glad to have in the stack. Thank you for watching more SS videos, you know I appreciate it!
Had no idea of the T Fox until I opened it up- what a cool bar indeed! I opened the box on the 26th, so it was killing me to look inside Christmas Day, lol!
Dude. Super cool stuff. The 25 ounce bar is everything you could want: Interesting weight, form, design. Just a killer piece. And That Tri-State Refining dragon piece is really interesting. Awesome.
That first big chunky bar was incredible! Those longer landscape bars I like...but they drive me nuts. I have, on occasion, accidentally picked one of those up, somehow not realizing its not the standard size. Then I end up trading them back in for another bar or some other piece of Silver. I do like the historical stuff though. I just don't have tubes for the non-standard 1 ounce size. Really incredible additions to the collection. This friend from Georgia must be a very long-time collector. He really does have some incredible pieces in his collection. Very cool! Enjoyed the video! Keep collecting & stacking!
You know it- this box is from a guy that has been collecting a long while. Glad he has reached out to me to move silver from time to time! The longer one ounce bars are frustrating for a guardhouse box stacker, lol! I'll find a different way to store those. Got your Christmas package- thank you! I'll send you an email this upcoming week.
Always good to see you my friend! Yes- very nice indeed of your Georgia neighbor to send along some nice gold to give a way. Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
When the unboxer begins to giggle upon seeing what’s inside the package you know it’s a good time 👍 Loved your reaction on the 25 oz. Excellent haul overall. The Hamilton mint bars generally have a 10,000 mintage, some 15,000. I recently picked up the Daniel Boone USSC as well. Congrats on a great unboxing
I've been trying some shorter videos when I can. Sometimes it's not possible with a lot of silver. Thanks for hanging in there and checking out some neat silver😊
Very cool unboxing with a number of bars from one of my favorite mints ( Hamilton Mint ) because of the vast variety they produced. Hope you & yours had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a very Happy New Year
GD! Merry Christmas sir and a Happy New Year to you! Thank you for all the support in 2024 and years past, much appreciated. Lets hope 2025 is a calm year- fingers crossed.
Great looking box. Best I've seen in atleast a few weeks being a bachelor 😂 Big fan of the W.S.R. round and 25oz chunker 👍 Have u ever seen a different year besides 1982 Prospector in lollipop wrapper? I haven't that y I ask. Thanks for the solid vid as always SS.✌
Epic scores you got there. All nice 1 oz bars. That tri sate refining round I do believe is a high premium round. I collect tri state refining and I haven’t found one in the wild yet! Congratulations on this score!!
I saw the Dragon round is a premium one- I didn't know anything about until seeing it in the box. For some reason, not a lot of Tr-State silver found out this way
@ I’m fortunate to find some at my lcs out here in the Midwest. I believe it started in Iowa then moved to South Dakota. Probably why I can find it out here v
I don't mean to show-boat or anything like that my friend. Everyone here as a different stacking strategy with different financial entanglements. The silver I get to show- some of it is rarely seen on YT. I view the SS channel as good collecting info for others to identify silver in the wild. Keep up the good work on your channel! I like your quest for all the generic Buffalos- neat😊
I've only been in the silver game for 5 years. Having started with the stacking mindset I'm always looking at spot price. When watching your videos I'd have to assume spot price means nothing when collecting this old vintage silver. I've always liked the old stuff and that's what I mostly bought and after watching your channel so much I'm only buying old silver now. I was just wondering how spot price plays into your silver stacking game. Does it matter much or is it just something you got over and don't really think about anymore.
That is an excellent question and I'm happy to answer it. Spot always matters to determine what sort of premium over spot to pay up for vintage. The neat part about collecting vintage silver is that it's somewhat numismatic in nature these days, so it moves a little different vs generics. Condition and also rarity play a role in some older silver. The down side would be selling back to the LCS for spot, so to realize gains, you need to put the work into selling privately. I rarely sell, so the vintage just goes into the stack. With spot plummeting as of late a lot of the vintage silver is still holding a higher premium and I find that pretty interesting- shows the staying power and value of this sort of silver.
I wish I could talk more about the source of the silver but that would betray trust. The silver comes from a private collector with a stack that is much greater than my own. Some of the pics he has emailed me- just impressive. As we all know- privacy is the best security, so that's why the source is unnamed.
Great vid Silver Struck! Talk about a goodie box, WOW! I liked all of it! 👍👍👍
Thank you for the support! Happy New Year!
What a terrific haul SS, Thank you to ,,well I'll just call him the Georgia man for being so kind on the gold Krugerrand..
🇺🇲🦅⚖️🗽
That will be a fun gaw- he also sent me a second box full of guardhouse boxes!
@SilverStruck
Yes I agree, it's going to be a great GAW hopefully I don't mess around & miss out on it. I'm really needing to get another Guard house box soon
An impressive shipment, well done. You're finishing the year well.
Strong vintage stacking right to the end of 2024! I do have a lot of silver, so we will have to see about 2025- I might sift the stack.
Fun stuff! 😎
Always good to see you Asheland!
Awesome haul!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed checking out the silver!
That Krugerrand is SICK! That Chunk of silver at the start (fox) would be an amazing desk paperweight! SO many cool art bars! That Paul Bunyan is fantastic! I wish I had a friend from Georgia! I think the Bunyan is my favorite.
Time for a gaw on the channel soon I think! These surprise boxes are a lot of fun!
@@SilverStruck YES! I highly recommend them. It is very rewarding in so many ways!
Oh man. I’m thinking about the melt value: 25*spot price silver. I mean I love the cleaners who take care of my office but I’m not sure I trust them *that* much!
Awesome 25 ouncer. I'll be looking forward to a follow-up once you find out what it is.
Happy New Year Bean! I'll do a more detailed video at some point on the T Fox! My rare Prospectors are back from anacs the LCS tells me- 3 months that took. Hoping to do a completed proof collection video on those soon.
Silver Struck Very Nice UnBoxing !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing haul!! Love that big chonker!!

The Fox Block is Incredible!!!
That one is a solid cube of silver- fun bar!
Oh yes I agree with you love that block never seen quit that shape. Happy stacking and a very Happy New Year 2025. Lance.
@@ActiveAtom Happy new Year!
OMGoodness, massive haul there Struck. What a great way to end your year. Congrats and happy stacking 2025 🥳✌🏻

I need to get some more Georgia friends!! 🤣
LOL! He's a good source to have, no doubt
Oh man what a unboxing. That mustve been like opening xmas gifts as a kid on xmas morning 😂. That fox bar was the star of the show. What a cool bar
Had no idea of the T Fox until I opened it up- what a cool bar indeed! I opened the box on the 26th, so it was killing me to look inside Christmas Day, lol!
Fantastic box, I really liked Paul Bunyan and Babe
That's a neat bar! I have my work cut out from me in the form of research for many bars in the box.
What a great box!
Thank you! Very pleased with the cool silver inside the box!
Possibly the best unboxing I have seen in 2024….mind blown right out of the gate!
Really neat vintage in this box- that was a lot of fun to go through! Thank you for all the support you showed this channel in 2024. Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays Silver struck and happy New Year. Thank you for sharing.
Happy new Year Big Apple!
Great engelhard bar ,love the 25 ounce bar,different than most of that size 😊
That 25 ounce bar is a brick! Cool bar for the collection!
Nice!!
Thanks for watching!
Incredible unboxing. That 25 oz at the start is something else. Impressive.👍
That was a surprise for sure, what a brick that bar is! Good to see you PCI😊
THANKS SS WHAT A HAUL BROTHER...GREAT PICKUPS
Happy New Year James! Thank you for watching!
@@SilverStruck AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Great stuff, you can make those Hamilton Mint bars fit into a capsule if you Dremel down one edge on one side of the capsule.
I might modify the capsules but I also have the albums to work with for the longer bars.
Wow You got a lots of bars, SS!
Always glad to add some more bars to the stack! Good to see you Ace and thank you for your recent card. Hoping to do a mail call video soon😊
Wow more amazing vintage silver unboxing 👀👊👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
That box was like Santa’s bag. Kept on giving!
Yes sir! There was silver tucked away all over. Very nice to have some gold for a future gaw as well👍
Nice Box! 😁 Lot's of Shiny Silver and that beautiful clinking of Sound! Only thing missing Christmas bow🎁
Neat arrangement of silver in the box! Some silvers I have never seen prior so that was a bit of fun!
What a fantastic box!
The boxes sent to me are really quite fun- great picks from another collector! Good to see you Don't Ask, thank you for watching!
Dude. Super cool stuff. The 25 ounce bar is everything you could want: Interesting weight, form, design. Just a killer piece. And That Tri-State Refining dragon piece is really interesting. Awesome.
A few really cool rare ones in the box this time around! I did research the two pieces you mentioned and they are pretty scarce. Good box of vintage😊👍
Fantastic Silver. Always great to watch
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching!
Very nice bars from the HM there. Love that 25oz bar too. Thanks for sharing!
Great to see you! Thanks for checking out the silver😁
Great collection, thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
The Fox 25… 🔥 And a great way to close out with Prospectors. Fantastic haul, my friend!
That should close out this silver year! I'm hoping to do a follow up video soon with a little more detail on the 25 oz. bar. Happy New Year my friend!
@@SilverStruck - Happy and Prosperous 2025 to you as well, bud!
An awesome unboxing. I was SilverStruck by the 25 ouncer but my fav was the Star Spangled Banner Bar. ( Are My Maryland roots are showing? )
Nothing wrong with supporting a home town bar! Thank you for checking out the bars!

I have the star spangled banner gold guilded but with heavy toning ( tarnished )
There's nothing wrong with a good toner!
@ I’ll send you pics of them
What a haul! Very impressive! A fellow Georgian! So cool of him to help out with a GAW! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Always good to see you my friend! Yes- very nice indeed of your Georgia neighbor to send along some nice gold to give a way. Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Cool, THANKS!
Thanks for checking out the video!
Very cool!

HI Sly! Good to see you and thank you for watching! Happy New Year!

Great to see you Savage! I hope all is well in your World. Happy Hollidays and Happy new Year!
Awesome haul there my friend.
Thank you CCT! That should finish out the year silver wise for me. Happy New Year to you sir!
Those were some awesome gifts. I really liked the 25oz bar. You have your work cut out finding info on those bars which are really nice.
Yes! The 25oz bar was a big surprise, and it has been hard to track down info. This might be a good topic for a video in the future.
Awesome assortment! Most of those bars are new to me.
It's a lot of fun showing the harder to find bars! Glad you enjoyed checking them all out.
What a great haul !!!! Verry nice
Thank you Bob!
Lots of interesting silver.
The video didn’t seem long at all.
I've been trying some shorter videos when I can. Sometimes it's not possible with a lot of silver. Thanks for hanging in there and checking out some neat silver😊
That is a great purchase!
I agree! It was a nice haul. Happy New year Dancers!
Wow..
Don't even know ware to start my friend..
Lookin forward to a follow up video on some of those unfamiliar beautiful pieces.!!
Ending the year with a bang! Last haul of 2024. I will do some follow up videos on the more obscure silver over the next weeks and months.
I’m the first one to comment !!! I cheated thou I haven’t finished the video lol😊
Thank you for commenting Victor!😊
awesome box
Thank you for checking it out!
That was very stinking cool 😎
I especially dig the 25 oz block of cheddar.
Happy New Year, Struck.
Happy New years BA!

Always 1982 in the lollypop and no other dates! Weird, isn't it? I think they switched to coin tubes after 82' over at Engelhard.
