Remember your first silver buy?

[Antalon]

Alright, here’s a fun, thread you can drop straight in:

I was thinking back to when I first started stacking silver — spot was about $18 AUD per ounce at the time. Felt expensive back then… funny how perspective changes

I remember hovering over the buy button, wondering if I was late to the party or getting a bargain. Turns out, that moment is something every stacker seems to remember.

So let’s make this a bit of a nostalgia (and humble brag) thread:

• What price was silver when you first started buying?
• What was your first purchase? Coins, bars, junk, something weird?
• Did you think it was cheap… or did it feel scary at the time?

Always fun to see how different everyone’s “starting line” was. New stackers, old hands, lurkers — jump in

I paid $25 each for 1oz silver Kooks at Downies , bough 4 for $100
Next time it was only 3 for $100
10 oz bars were $250
I sold a certain sparky a 1kg silver chain for $2k
Now it would cost me $3000 just in labour

I bought a 5 oz Perth Mint bar from Southern Cross coins and Currency under the Southern Cross hotel in Bourke St Melbourne. The cost was $16 from memory and that was back in 1976. I could write a book on all the rare stuff I've purchased over the years

Bought an ABC kilo bar from Merrylands Stamps and coins. I overpaid because it was from a coin shop. Cost me $180

She's no longer with me and I reckon I made a couple of slabs out of it but Jeepers, she's possibly a house deposit now ...
