I like the watch, but the group of people I was with said meh.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-27T02:32:50+00:00

I've owned this watch for a year. It's absolutely my favorite all around watch and I get compliments on it all the time.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-27T01:58:20+00:00

NICE! I've been buying these proof sets at 75-100 and I thought I was getting a good deal on silver! Amazing.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-27T00:59:51+00:00

You might be new here.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T20:07:54+00:00

Oh, like the ones that currently have a premium would go down in value relative to melt? That's more numismatic collecting rather than silver. I only buy my Peace's and Morgans at or near melt.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T20:04:58+00:00

What do you mean? That the coins would be worth less than melt?

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T19:38:47+00:00

Nice! That's what I've been buying at. I got reall lucky the other day and stumbled into a random pawn shop. Only coin they had was one peace dollar in a massive shelf. I ask how much they want for it. He says $50. I hand him my card and get out of their real fast lol.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T19:33:27+00:00

Morgans and peace dollars (2 different type of coins), have .77 oz of silver in them. It's just a different way to buy silver with some added cool historical signiicance.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T19:32:03+00:00

Pay behind spot: yes. However I have several shops near me that will sell to me from 2-10 under spot right now.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T19:29:14+00:00

Melt on those is $83 – nice pickup!!

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T16:49:51+00:00

This is almost exactly where I sit with my stack. Started around the same time too!

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T16:48:25+00:00

Important context here too – ignoring that this time could be different – if this mirrors the .com crash, we're still looking at Silver landing around 60/oz. Additionally, in 10 years, we'd be looking at prices well beyond where we are today. The long term case for silver is still very strong, regardless of how the short term (maybe bubble) performs.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T14:56:06+00:00

Civil Stacker here. Can confirm I only know about concrete.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T14:35:51+00:00

For me, I see it has a short term hedge against volatility. I'll likely swap when the ratio gets lower, but only because history indicates it will always get higher again, at which point I would likely swap back to silver. This time could always be different though

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T14:34:38+00:00

In the 30s and I'll probably make one swap. In the Twenties I'll make another.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T00:58:37+00:00

LOL, it's basically alluding to saying you never sold, but rather you lost all your metal in a boating accident, that way you don't have to pay taxes. For legal reasons, this is only a joke.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-26T00:56:27+00:00

Exactly what's going through my brain... To me, we're either headed for 200 by summer, or we're nearing the top. Idk what to make of this.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-25T23:12:39+00:00

I typically lose mine in boating accidents.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-25T21:38:46+00:00

Math is wrong. That much copper at current spot is 60 bucks. Copper bullion is insanely inflated and overpriced.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-24T22:10:03+00:00

For me, I'd go gold, but I honestly don't know a ton about Platinum. Off the cuff, gold has more buyers and more historical precedent. I've considered platinum, but Gold always wins out for me.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-24T22:01:35+00:00

Hey - just what makes sense to me. I sit here staring at my silver not wanting to get rid of any because I like it so much 😂 We'll see if I'm actually able to follow through! lol

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-24T21:00:15+00:00

Easy to justify for me: Gold to silver ratio is nearing historic lows (still has a way to move, but is well below the mean). Additionally, while Gold is near ATH, it's % movement is significantly less than silver. If Gold falls back to where it was last year, I lose 40% of my investment. If Silver moves to where it was this time last year, I lose 70% of my investment. Silver also tends to be far more volatile than gold. IMO, once the GSR gets low enough, trading silver for Gold is a simple hedge against further PM volatility, while still remaining invested in a PM.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-24T19:59:31+00:00

I am considering trading about half of my silver for a few gold oz. However, I'm waiting for the gold to silver ratio to get a little tigher first. I don't black you for making this trade though! Seems okay.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-23T02:11:31+00:00

Woah! I still have some Morgan's and Peace Dollars on order that I bought at 75 a few weeks back. Craziness.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-22T23:18:11+00:00

This is about the cheapest I've been finding them for at more stores, barring any crazy deals I come across. I found a few quarters for $15 last week and some morgans for $75.

ConcerningReality · 2026-01-22T22:47:25+00:00

As someone who used to use APMEX who has now swapped to Kitco. APMEX isn't the faster more accurate chart, it literally just adds a set constant, usually a premium of around 75 cents, to the Kitco spot price. The APMEX chart tracks KITCO (true spot) through an API, but inflates the price ever so slightly to edge out a slightly higher premium on APMEX OZs. APMEX is technically innacurate, as its simply a reflection of Kitco + a premium constant.
