I stack silver and gold to hedge against our debt-fueled, fiat currency-based economy that I am convinced is in deep trouble. Consider stacking silver and gold yourself to help you build and preserve wealth. And thank you for watching Campbell’s Coins!

Best vid I've seen for a beginner like me I've watched loads but you lay out the meat and bones in simple language. Sincere thanks x
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
You Sir are one of the few stackers I agree with...So many are caught up in the spot price that they think generics are the way to go. You don't have to be a numismatist to get the fact that real government issue coinage is going to be more in demand.
I liked how you brought it to our attention between, 'low and high demand periods'. That pretty much tells us everything. I called a bunch of coin shops yesterday asking about gold buybacks on maples and eagles (interesting findings there too). I also asked several about silver buyback. It seemed that they were itching to get their hands on generic buffaloes and offering nice premiums too. What they didn't really want were the 100oz and kilo bars and offered well below spot on both
Yep, exactly. Demand for metals fluctuates, in addition to the types of sizes of the metals through different periods.
9:41 BRUTAL!!! And I love it😆😆😆 how am I just finding this silver channel.?! This is the same stuff I say in the comments on other silver channels where they’re paying extra premiums and slobbering over the designs and looking at my comments sideways for buying at $26 and calling them out on not buying- “Oooo da premiumzz iz too high right now. I’m gonna wait for my precious $15 spot before I buy again 👗👠💅👩🔧.” Meanwhile I’m putting their silver in my safe. 🤦🏽♂️
Brian Taylor I don’t know but welcome to the debauchery! Good man! Keep on stacking because the days of $15 are behind us. The people waiting for $15-$18 silver are the same folks who didn’t buy gold at $1300 because “it’s too high”. They are all waiting for it to drop a few dollars to drop, meanwhile they missed the entire bus. More silver for us. 🙌👊😎
I like the way you think!!!
You might not see that 15 dollar spot again mainly because at some point when the economy gets moving again inflation will push prices of everything up, including silver
I just buy what I like, im not worried about making huge money back from it if it ever comes to selling in my lifetime
871 Stranger That’s the way to do it, stack what pleases you. 👏 good for you man. 👊
If we ever see real prices on Silver. You might change your tune, okay not really. Because real prices would be like six hundred bucks an ounce. Nobody's going to care what they paid for anything at that point. It's just going to be scary outside but Rich inside.
Phat Vegan 💯, your real price on silver is around mine and I applaud you for stating it on here. A lot of people would laugh at such a price for silver but not me. #undervalued I’m actually doing a video now on the true value of gold and silver. Stay tune
It's just a simple mathematical equation. Yes it is scary extreme. But math has never lied to me. It's just whether or not people manipulate the market or not. And since it's not at 600 I guess we know what the answer is
i definitely agree
In my opinion, 90% constitutional (aka "junk") silver is the way to go. It's highly recognizable, has low premiums, is fractional in nature, and is easy to buy and sell at any given time. You touched on Morgan silver dollars in the video, which technically falls in this category, but tends to have a numismatic premium on top. Morgans may be fun to collect, but I think 90% half dollars, quarters, and dimes are better for investing.
I agree with you. 90% is great for so many applications. It's probably 25% of my stack. Appreciate the excellent point 👊
Damn, son, that was some harsh real talk there! I love it! Had me laughing!
Silver Trooper 😅 got to keep it real 💯😎👊
Lol it did sound harsh at first lol
Thanks for your insightful input on generics and poured pieces
Boston Stacker 😅😊😎
Thanks very much for the info. Straight to the point where other channels just have a lot of hype. Yes, it would seem that liquidity and buyback are important considerations in what to stack. Loved the vid, thanks.
Awesome channel! I’m looking for Gieger silver bars to add to my stack, now. Great info discussed here! thank you for the info!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the thoughtful comment and you taking the time to watch!
Geiger bars look great! Apmex has a generic that looks very similar if you can’t find it
New subscriber and wanted to take a moment to comment & thank you for your video. I will go through the back-catalogue. Thank you again
Joe Carpenter thank you for taking the time to watch my vids and for subscribing. I really appreciate it! 🙏
It’s always beneficial to get different opinions on your stack, great job!
Libertads and American Prospector Rounds are two I stockpile. I agree with getting bars with the serial number and information in the bar. Great video. Lots of truth in it.
Libertads are great, lots of popularity behind them. Definitely a draw to the Prospector rounds. Thanks much!
Good guide, thanks for posting this.
Thank you 🙏
Loved this straight talk video... something I haven't seen/heard much of on the myriad stacker channels I watch. Interesting comment about the lack of mild spotting on Morgans and Kooks.
Just curious, but if those generic buffalo rounds had the info, such as the name of the bigtime precious metal dealer, would they then be more worthy of moving up and out of your lowest category? When I first began, I obtained a few tubes of different, attractive rounds that have that company name/logo, so I'm just wondering if that is enough to keep them from your basement level? Thx. Enjoyed your video greatly. New sub, so I didn't know what to expect, but, if your others are like this, I'll be very glad. Enjoyed actually getting some REAL info and guidance rather than the "everything is beautiful" fluff/nonsense.
Fascinating discussion, thank you. I haven't started to buy silver yet, but I'm looking at it pretty closely. I won't be buying collector's items, rarities, proofs, anything like that. I will buying currency, coins I can buy food, gas, and ammo with In The Event. That seems to mean "junk" silver. Still--it's clear that if I'm in the market at all, I need to be aware of these factors in order to recognize good deals when I stumble across them.
You can always buy generic if you’re going to do that
Did you start stacking yet?
CC and viewers, I am researching collecting/storing silver. This has been on my mind for two years, but did not know where to start. I am getting an education. I enjoy information like this video. I am 56 years of age, and I want a little safety net while in retirement if medical issues threaten savings/IRA/401. My wife is questioning me big time, but I have no real good answers. If I do not spend the metal I intend to leave it to my kids. I the most difficult issue to resolve is storage. Gold seems easier due to volume, but a lot more money to fork out. I do not "intend" to try to become a well knowledgeable collector, but I want to know the basics. Thank you for the straight talk.
Interesting! Thanks! Never heard this take on it.
Thanks for stopping by!
CC
You should tell everyone how you really feel. 🤣
Great video sound advise, love the variety of silver. 👍👍
Bullion Addict haha I didn’t really hold back in this one. Thanks man, really appreciate you. 💛😎
@@CampbellsCoins I enjoy the no holds bar approach.
Bullion Addict 👊
Question.....When you liquidate in a long haul, I like to know is inflation added into equation?
I dont know i got a good bit of eagles my self and some do have milk spotting on them if milk spots are the issue stack bar's.
Interesting that your Indian head buffalo round had no mint mark. I checked mine and they do. I will keep my eye out for that in the future.
Some do and some don't. I have some Buffalos that do but I wanted to highlight the generic silver that exists out there without a mintmark. Thanks for watching!
@@CampbellsCoins pause the video at 2:24, bottom center of the round, below the Indian's braid is SilverTowne's logo.
@@mikejameshupfer Thanks man. Totally missed it.
I had bought about 12 or so oz back when silver was $15 an ounce. I still buy silver at $27 an ounce. I do have some gold a $2 1/2 and a 1/10 oz proof. I am hoping to get another 1/10 oz soon.
Jacob Parker nice stack man! Great job! What 1/10oz are you hoping to get?
Hoping for a 2010. It’s about time I get another gold coin!
Good job building up your stack
Most of my money goes into constitutional silver but I buy rounds and bullion coins also plus I invest in other things like sterling silver pieces
Thank you so much for this info! I bought some Kookaburra's and I'm really happy with it (knowing nothing about silver)! One question, is the Koala coin the same quality as the Kookaburra?
No problem! I'm glad it help. I don't have any experience with the Koala so I can't answer one way or another. Thanks for watching 👊
@@CampbellsCoins I think that I will buy some koalas because they seem nice to me. Thank you for replying (so fast)! Greetings from the Netherlands! I forgot to subscribe 👊 have a nice day!
@@damian5852 Greetings! I always try to reply to comments promptly (doesn't always happen haha). I don't think you can go wrong with Koalas. They seem to be better quality than the Kangaroos (silver). If the premiums are near the Kooks, I would just stay with the Kookaburras. I got my girlfriend a Kookaburra Dansco album to get started in collecting/stacking. She hasn't really cared much for it. Keep me posted on your stacking journey!
@@CampbellsCoins Haha, okay! Yes, also the Kooks look better to me, but I was just wondering. I'm currently hodling the 2018 and 2021 Kooks (Total 28 Oz) and 4 1/10 Oz gold Kooks and Roos from 2021, and they are my first coins love em. Wow, that's cool! I looked it up. Maybe she cares if she sees the value going up and sees the beauty of it, they are really stunning art pieces!
@@damian5852 Nice start man! 👏 keep it up
Personal, I focus mostly on foreign junk. I can get that at spot, or even below. And then numismatics. I love myself a nice, numismatic coin. And then generics and .999 coins. My LCS has good prices on his stuff with the current market.
Helpful!
I have never liked pamp silver....it's a display silver....it's a trophy silver.....it will never come out of its packaging.
Yeah for silver I don’t go with pamp or any of the assayed silver unless it’s something collectible
I love diversifying in silver because I don’t know what the future holds, I have a lot numismatic and generic silver, I should probably start buying some gold though haha
You have to diversify in the metals haha. But silver is one of the good ones.
Whats the point of the Pamp serial number? You cannot check it. Any forger can put on any number. From the Pamp FAQ: Where can I check certificate numbers for PAMP bullion products? We do not provide this as a general service, however we may do so under exceptional circumstances. If you believe yours is such a case please contact us.
It's true, one can't check it now. But Pamp or Geiger may decide to make a database later it might be possible. Each PAMP assay has a QR code that may verify it's legitimacy later. It's also shows the mintage for that year. It's really no different from why we collect other items with serial numbers; collectibility.
I have been watching your videos.. Love it! Thank you for the information. I did sub.
Cash and Coins thank you so much! 🙌👊😎
What about Germania are those okay to collect?
How do you feel about 10 oz silver coins like maples, kooks, lunar, queens beast, all have a fairly low premium when first come out while premium increases along with demand over time. Its all i've been buying for a while and from watching a lot of youtube videos of LCS's I beleive 10oz silver bars and or coins are in huge demand.
10oz coins are collectible but it depends on what coin. Kooks and Lunars, I would say yes. Plain Maples and Queens beast, not so much. With the Kooks and Lunars, you have to find a fellow collector who finds those equally attractive. That's why I have kooks and other perth mint items at #2. Close but not close enough. I personally like them though.
I went high premium too. It’s expensive but I think there will be a market for it moving forward
The LCS I go to get Morgans and peace dollars sell them for 22 - 23 a piece. I buy these and count them as part of my junk silver. Are these worth it for that? Piece dollars I think have the same amount of silver as Morgans.
Depends on the condition but it's far from a terrible price
Yeah that sounds like a comfortable price for a Morgan/peace dollar if they aren’t beat up or worn out.
What's your stance on the old school bars? ie: Engelhard, JMatthey, etc.
I just bought a 10 oz ENGELHARD bar and I get lots of trade requests for it lol apparently people love them.
@@Chrisinsocal allengelhard.com/
You can look up the roundabout mintage figures for ur particular bar. It's an interesting niche, I like em.
If I'm looking to sell silver, Id sell generic silver bars first. I don't want to get rid of my coins. Those might be hard to replace so those would be the last to go.
I'm not too worried about spot price: if bought at $10-$20/ounce and sold at $25-$30/ounce, why care too much about spot because you're making a profit anyway?
But as far as stacking and saving, I like ASE and mapleleafs.
I agree with you but leave those BUFFALO'S alone there my favorite
kuna coins haha stack whatever makes you happy 😊😎 I have a lot of Buffalos in my stack
The buffalos look great I don’t have any yet but I’m definitely considering it
@@CampbellsCoins I saw that sunshine mint is putting what they call a SI mint mark, what do you think about those?
Is it ok to clean or polish my generic silver rounds and bars ? I dont clean coins but I have some tarnished and banged up silver bars. Can I clean up to shine ? Thanks.
Yes. You’re doing it right. Never clean coins. Bars & rounds don’t matter, they’re just weight
@@localandonlinepreciousmeta3575 Thank you. I'll keep my silver shining !
If shtf it won't matter the damn picture is on the coin .
Kevin Armstrong it might, if people don’t know if a silver piece is real or counterfeit. That assay just might give them that extra assurance they need. I totally see your point though. I once held the same thought until I started playing out scenarios in my mind. As a reference I stack both.
if shtf your are going to grab your shotgun and a pack of ammo, and leave your heavy silver behind so you will have space for food. You will be a nomad unless you are lucky enough to have months worth of food and ammo, which you will still need to find after that runs out. all that while keeping raiders off of your ass.
Horde silver to keep your wealth in a physical form, and to be protected from hyperinflation scenario. Don't expect it to save your life though. Marksmanship and survival skills are far more valuable for that.
I have to agree with you I mean I don’t think very many people will want things like silver and gold until after things settle down. If everything actually goes to hell then people will be more worried about food, clean water, and of course ammo and guns.
If you really want a silver scrooge coin, get the NIUE 2018 one lol. Got a premium on it too, but it's still only about 10% the price!
True, but the 2018 isn't a proof, nor does it have the low mintage of the 2015 🤷🏻♂️
Maples don’t spot much anymore. I’ve always found them to be the best compromise between excellent security, high face value, government backing, and lowish premiums. They look good too.
What about Engelhard hand poured bars?
I bought an ENGELHARD 10 oz and I love it
@@Chrisinsocal Same Here I also brought a 10 Ounce Engelhard Bars. They are not the most beautiful bars, well at least mine was not, but who cares, It’s an Engelhard and as time moves forward, they increase in value. I was really surprised on how heavy it was. I guess back in the eighties they really took pride in their work and I always wonder how many hands it has gone through before it reached mine. And how many states it has been through before reaching my state. Anyway, Congratulations.
Here's the problem with going with higher premium coins like a kook over an eagle - if the price of silver doubled tomorrow the premium wouldn't double with it.
That means that as a percentage of your investment, you're actually losing money buying premium coins because while you will get a higher dollar amount, you also paid a higher dollar amount, so the percentage return is lower.
Example - I can get eagles for $2 over spot in Orlando or kooks for $10 over spot online. Let's say silver was $25 when I bought one of each and now it's $50 so I sell them both. I paid $27 and $35 and since the premium doesn't really change, I sell them for $52 and $60 respectively. I make a 92% profit on the eagle but only a 71% profit on the kook - which is the better investment?
I call bullshit on buying ASE at $2.00 over spot. I live in South Florida, and from LCS from Naples to Sarasota they are $5.00 to $9.00 over spot depending upon your relationship with the dealer and # of Eagles being purchased.
But that is just my experience. I can't buy hand poured junk or generic for two bucks over right now.
It's a bit annoying how you're right on that. But yet, the dollar amount profit is the same. Maths is so deceptive.
@@mudguppy Call it what you want but that's what I'm doing in Orlando as the pawn and coin shops here view them no different than rounds.
@@TheBooban That's why you go with the percentage return on investment.
If you were buying ingots would you go with the price per ounce or the price per ingot?
If you go by price per ingot then a $50 one ounce ingot is a better deal than a $55 two ounce ingot.
Understand?
The better investment is whichever you can sell. Who cares if, for example, your generic buffalo has a higher percentage profit if you can't sell it. In 2011 when the price of silver rose to near $50, shops weren't buying generic and if they did, it was well below spot, because the demand for buying generic silver was so low and the demand to sell was so high. Very few people got out at $48. Most sold for it's next price break of $35. The example you gave is also why Kooks and Libs were not at the top for the best silver to buy. That's a hell of a deal on ASEs btw. Good for you!
Just bought $10 fv circulated Walking Liberty half dollars for $187 where spot value is $23.33/ounce. Let’s see if this ages like wine or unpasteurized milk.
Buy what you like - then you'll love what you hold .The worst mistake - sacrificing beauty for $$$ .
Great points! Buy what you like.
I just bought some libertads on sale and was like "yes! Only 2× spot
😂
Agreed
ASE are safer and easy for novice stackers.
Thanks for watching!
Queen Beast White horse of hanover MILKSPOT...!!!!!!!!!! avoid...i just wasted my premium! all my geiger bars are now way up in price! glad i loaded few years back... Liked your video!!!! thanks for sharing!
Richie Rich 🙌🙌🙌🙌 it’s really unfortunate because they are nice looking pieces. It’s a roll of the dice if a coin is going to milk spot and that aspect sucks! Thanks for watching 🙏😎
The Queen's Beasts series captuered my immagination .
ASE,Geiger, Pamp and Valcambi for the win.
You know it!
This guy is right... Everything he says is nothing more than his opiions, and just like assholes, everyone has one..
As soon as it stopped being $17/$19/$20/$23 I stopped buying because of market manipulation and seeing others running to sell at first moment they are price go up to again other videos of them saying maybe not right time to sell lol 😂🤣 you'll have to make a live stream to get real results on this topic can't wait
The MacZ1 I just bought my first silver since the run up began. No regrets. The price will be moving way higher than $26. Thanks for watching!
@@CampbellsCoins I hear that I hope it stays going up silver has alot of potential to keep going up it's a very beautiful metal as well as gold or any of the other metals undervalued for sure 👊👊
Don't get butt hurt!!!! Yes LOVE it!! But now that you said that, watch out for the cancel culture!
Phat Vegan if truthful words hurt them and their feelings, I don’t want that sort of negativity anyway.
Canadian mint hasn’t had milk spots for over 5 years!
Did he just say butt hurt... Lol.. Pure gangsta ‼️‼️
Yes sir! :)
Buy what you like hands down.
tim maybanks 💯👏
I buy a little of everything.
My LCS sells a dollar face value of any junk silver for 20 bucks.
Buy all you can afford!
ART silver is awesome
Phat Vegan 🙌🙏😎
When sh.H.F. copper will be the best way to trade. Pre 1982 US cent are 95% copper.
Phat Vegan copper is another good one. I stack pre 82 pennies too
I like my buffalos the most.:)
Mario Battista good! Stack whatever makes you happy, otherwise what’s the point? 👊😎
Messed that up I meant to say slab the Eagles
100oz bars sold like hot cakes this year
You're right. EVERYTHING sold great this year.
Proof Washington quarters. Relatively cheap, high quality, 90%
A professional silver stacker??? What do you mean by that?
It means you buy high and sell low because you don’t care and you love the metals lol jk
Works for coin dealer, Campbell's coins. Of course he will only endorse extremely high premium coins. Highly circulated Morgans and Peace dollars are "junk silver" equivalent with less silver contact.
You will never get back the premium you pay on PAMP. When do you anticipate low demand period with silver required for EVs, solar panels, circuit boards, medical and dental uses? Mines will never dig out enough silver to support future "green" living.
I beg to differ on the premium for PAMP, check out some of the sold prices on Feebay. I do not anticipate low demand periods for silver anymore. The clean energy push will drastically raise demand and prices. I've covered exactly what you're saying in many other videos. Thanks for watching and for a great comment 👊
🕶️‼️‼️‼️💯❌💯
Thank you!
Silly. Yes some have a higher premium when you sell but you PAY for that premium when you buy. Same with the low premium stuff. In the end its all silver.
Except those premiums on the generic and the higher end stuff do not remain constant in relation to one another, the premiums on the higher end silver jumps up a lot more. Stupid or not, it’s the state of reality and has a bearing on what people buy.
great video check out my coins on the coin cabinet
Rules remain the same.
So don’t buy Britannia’s ?????!!!
33cattt # buy whatever makes you happy. Just do some research.
Britannias are completely tax exempt in the UK and is a big deal over there. I don't know which other national coin is tax exempt like that.
Personal choice and depends on where you live.. US then American eagles could be your tea.. if you live in UK then silver as a tax free investment is more interesting.. if you are a international traveler then pamp may offer you more option when selling.. I personally like to collect limited edition with high premium.. and I prefer Britannia’s and panda over eagles as they are both backed by gov but more limited in numbers..
rabbit bobo I love both ASE and Britannias because my heritage . . I’ve never had a milk spot but I’m totally paranoid now .
@@33cattt49 depends on how you wanted your coin to end really, milk spot happens mostly on circulated coins and as the premium are close to the spot.. it doen't effect the value of the coin by huge amount.. there is a huge fuzz over milk spot.. but i don't see it as a problem.. as antique dealer or collector sometimes use those "milk spot" as an identification from the mint.. the best advice i got from a antique dealer is never make your coin dirty, and never clean your antique.. unless you are a professional.. as a clean silver is not welcome by a lot of collectors.. they want well preserved not clean.
Poor poured silver. haha
D C hahaha just making people aware of what they are getting into. Buy whatever makes you happy 👊
That monotone delivery is putting me to sleep
It looks easy from the sidelines .
You have some good basic information but you have no clue when it comes to knowledge about bars. I suggest you educate yourself on the LBMA and SBMA and who they buy from.
Nice back handed compliment. What does the LBMA or SBMA have to do with what he was talking about?
