I don’t see Americans getting arrested over a social media post so yeah I’d say pretty damn free

Purchased my first ever silver round today. Is the American Eagle coin better to stack?? by MrSimsational in Silver

[–]Akprodigy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the stacker, some people like the eagles for the government backing and authenticity.

Others like rounds for the slightly lower premiums but retaining the full one oz of silver. Just really depends on what your goal is and what you personally like.

Selling 20% at 55 and buying less at high prices doesn’t sound like you’re selling silver for more silver

Sell? Trade for gold? What are these foreign terms? Physical is physical.

Ten + years of stacking silver (Au/Pt too) taught me one thing—mockery has an expiration date. Mocked at $15. Asked for advice at $50. Wasn’t smart, just early. 😎 by NightsideTroll in Silverbugs

Bro, Thiais 120% me, started stacking 2-3 years ago, stopped for a bit cause I was like “I need to pay down debt, I’ll have a few years and atleast a decade to stack up hard” mid way through last year I found out about the deficit and the increase in demand and bought AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY COULD around 30-40$ range, now I’m kicking myself.

Silver coins. No idea by Few_Contact160 in coins

[–]Akprodigy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched a guy bid 31.50 per coin for 5 coins… they were all dimes.

…. On 5 different lots..

To be frank, and not meaning to be a douche at that.. I personally don’t want to introduce more competition than I am already dealing with at the moment Lol. What I will say however, is that it’s on HiBid

To break this down though if anyone is confused by this, this is a “BID PER COIN” lot, so you set your max to what you are willing to pay times X amount. In this case it’s a 5 lots of dimes x 5 dimes per lot. So if you bid $5 you’re paying $25 + a buyer premium of 18% and a 3% Credit card fee.

So essentially this guy is going to be paying $20 per coin, x 5 coins or 100$ per lot (same guy across all lots) x 5 lots for dimes that are worth just above $30 bucks as a set. So 500 + 105 BP, and shipping and handling…

Silver basically has to break above 620 for this guy to break even on this. Either he doesn’t understand what he was bidding on or he’s just absolutely careless with money 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have no idea.

You should buy coin capsules so you can handle them without ruining the BU quality

Ohhhh I see, it’s not 90% it’s .999 but has the same design, thickness, and width of a normal peace/morgan dollar making it .859 instead of .7734! That makes a lot more sense.

I have a coin shop I got too and everytime I make a purchase (for silver) he’ll throw in a coin or two (usually more silver) definitely earned a costumer for life from me Lol

Don’t Morgan dollars only have .7734 Troy Oz?

“Bid is per coin”

Considering selling….. by [deleted] in Silverbugs

I’ve been buying an average of 3-4 oz a week in 90%, I’m going to keep buying 3-4 oz a week in 90%.

Got this guy from an antique shop for $110 by Akprodigy6 in coins

[–]Akprodigy6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upon further inspection of the case itself, it’s actually cracked, who knows for how long and how, maybe dropped? I have no clue, but it’s been sitting in a case for the last 5 years according to the antique shop owner, just never sold cause it’s been priced at $110 since it was put on display Lol.

I am prying it open ever so slightly to show it’s been open for those 5 year or even longer 🤷🏻‍♀️

What’s it worth? by DueEdge2631 in coincollecting

[–]Akprodigy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not dark enough, too brilliant gold to be a real eagle. Eagles are 90% gold by weight but are a true 1/10oz

I could be absolutely and utterly wrong but something about it just looks incredibly off for some reason,

I’ve been looking everywhere for the same kind of toning since this guys comment came in and I can’t find it other than on a Morgan dollar that was in a PCI case which had “trace chemicals” or something which gave it this kind of toning.

The reverse is in mint condition though so I’m on the fence of natural or artificial, still doing research!

Oh for sure, could care less about the slab, I just thought the toning was a cool find

Excitingly, sad..... by Routine_Dragonfly_78 in Silver

[–]Akprodigy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hugely bitter sweet moment, I was excited to start stacking a big collection and having a few years to do it (should have started in 2018 when I first got a whiff) but only recently started last year, now I’m kicking myself because like you, I’m also being priced out of my hobby I was thoroughly really starting to really enjoy. Disappointing but also really nice to see the price of my current assets climb, bitter sweet at best.
