Hi all, I'm a newbie Silver stacker having only just started buying Silver bullion from January this year I'm looking forward to reading, learning and contributing where I can on this forum going forwards So far I've bought American Silver Eagles, Perth Mint coins & bars, and ABC 1kg bars. What are your thoughts on the New Zealand Mint Silver Fern .999 1oz Silver coins - worth buying? Are they a quality product that will be easy enough to sell if/when that time comes and what sort of % below spot price can I expect for them? and ABC bars? Best regards
Hi Ronnington, welcome to silver stacker! The question you ask may better be posted in one of these forums, as the one you have posted in is supposed to be for trading only: https://www.silverstackers.com/forums/index.php?forums/silver.23/ https://www.silverstackers.com/forums/index.php?forums/silver-coins.10/
I think NZ Mint stuff is great. In my experience I bought at spot and traded at spot plus 5% so not a big margin but the increase in spot gave me a profit. It is my belief that if you are a "stacker" you wont be bothered by what mint from where. Instead accumulate as much as possible for the lowest possible price. Difficult, I know as most of us are collectors as well.
Thanks, that's great I might add some to my stack then During these tough/interesting economic times, how many Ozs/Kgs do you recommend to stack? As much as you can get/store?
I recommend whatever you want. Ask yourself why you are stacking, set some goals and budgets and get to it. Set some "rules" as well...like % over spot your are prepared to go etc. PS. Work out where you are going to store your metal. Dont tell anyone you are stacking. Get a PO Box or send metals to your work, never to your home.
Hi Ronnington and welcome to the forum from a fellow kiwi stacker The NZ mint silver fern is in my opinion a OK coin which I refer to as a bullion round and not something I would have in my stack but in saying that during recent times these have been selling well above spot price on Trademe recently Not a bad purcahse as the mint usually sells for a couple of $ above spot and you would really be waiting for a substantial increase in spot price to get a good return on your investment if thats the stratergy My preference for stacking are the Perth Mint silver coins in particular the kookaburras and lunars but thats totally subjective
Thanks I kinda foolishly started stacking American Silver Eagle 1oz coins back in January before I realised the high premiums(!). Now I favour the more local Australian and NZ bars & coins
No purchase of silver is foolish and the ASE's are a very popular choice for stackers You will generally be paying a little more that spot for Kooks and other Perth Mint products - I think from time to time NZ Mint may have the Kangaroos in stock and if not pick up some Taku's perhaps as close to spot price Also check out MyGold or drop me a PM if you may wish to
