With all the price movement lately it has focused my attention on spot and getting volume whilst the price is right. I have decided to save for one larger bar .I mean a really big sucker. I hope Goldstackers still have them when I have my cash ready. Anyone else planning on a big one soon?
I'm a poor guy. That's why I'm fooling around with silver - poor man's gold. But I've built up a satisfactory little assortment of US silver dimes, quarters, halves and silver dollars. I'm moving on to 10-ounce bars. Soon, I hope to swap some larger silver for some gold. I think gold is nice because it's large-denomination real money, while sliver is smaller-denomination daily commerce money.
Me too.Just stacking slowly.However the time i think is here to buy a big bugger when I can afford it. I got my eye on a bar that GP has in his vault.
The biggest i will get is 100oz, still have some dragon coins i want to buy (i don't even have a kilo yet??). I like the old school loafs over the flatter bars
I'd rather have the gold too. However, now is the time to own silver. If you are a swapper, I'd recommend waiting for the sub 40 s/g ratio. At this stage of the game, most swappers are going for the silver.
Ainslie Bullion in brisbane sell 10 kg for about $9500 atm. I like bars over coins I think 100Oz bars are good size then 10 oz followed by coins and maybe even some 1966 50c.. would love some coins but since i am used to buying bars i just look at the extra premium and think man i missing out on some ounces. lol we are hoping for the best for silver and once your ready to cash it in...will the premiums be worth it? a few once here and there may go along away whilst the buyings good>!!
I recently traded in a couple of kg's+fiat to get a 5kg brick. I don't think I'll go bigger however (I nearly sprained my wrist carrying it home and again when I took it to my storage). Since then have moved down to large groups of small coins where the premium over 1kg's are minimal (like Silversun, I keep thinking of the missing oz's when I see people selling 1oz coins for +30%/oz but they are much more liquid). You can walk nonchalantly down the street with a 1kg without anyone suspecting. Can't imagine it'd be very inconspicuous carrying a 15kg monster!
Kinda surprising that the 5kg size is not very popular given the popularity of kilo bars, and not much bigger than a 100oz bar but generally much lower premiums. If you're going to stack $100k+ in silver, the 5kg size is a great choice.
& they look like a real stack of bars when theres a few. All the others are just miniatures 5kg is the real full size bar
Its all personal choice . Your storage, goals how much you want to offload when the time comes in what increments etc.
No i dont have a 15 kg to measure & to be honest ive never measured any bar . if you were here i would show you with my fingers about how big the others are. ...ask the pelican
Sold a ~33kg bar easily enough via the forum a few month ago. Not everyone wants to stack $1k at a time. $100k in silver is 20x 5kg bars right now - sure you could buy say six PAMP monster boxes of 15kg each, but for low premium - the 5kgs are generally secondary market sourced, selling for ~1-2% over spot, as opposed to kilos at 7-8% over spot. Means more ounces in the stack.
