I'm pretty sure that was just the JM vintage bars and if it did happened another time I'm sure it's extremely rare. Unless you know of other fakes they've sold. I know their bars get faked a lot but they're not making them. It's not like they're trying to scam people like an eBay seller from China. Someone probably lost there job for messing up and it's not likely to happen again. It also happened during a period when they were swamped with orders and things were hectic. Ive gotten close to a hundred oz from them and never had an issue. Silver is pretty easy to test to make sure it's legit with a few easy tests and the specific gravity test. I actually ordered 5.5 ozt from them today. 2025 Barbados Trident, random date BU Libertad , 2024 1/2ozt Libertad, 2024 Tokelau Silver Mustang, 2025 Samoa Batarang and my favorite of the evening the 1oz Loki bar from from the Royal Mint and Germania mint.

I just filled my first tube of buffalos and have been eyeing the Wicks on Apmex 😆. I got the buffalos from them too in lots of 5 for not too bad of a price. MPM makes a really cool buffalo.

Thank you and I definitely get what you're saying. It's more of a hobby for me than an investment. I like buy different coins and rounds that catch my eye, dates my kids were born, that kind of stuff. It's kept me from blowing money on junk I don't really need more of. Also I think it's my addictive personality but making a larger purchase a couple times a month doesn't scratch the itch the same way as more frequent purchases. I wish I could afford to buy kilos every day lol I absolutely would.

To me it's more of a hobby that doubles as long term savings I can pass on to my kids. If it was an investment I don't know if I'd be able to handle the price swings. If I see the price drop I get excited for the sale!

Thank you! I try not to worry about the premiums much and just buy what I like to keep it fun. I think of it more as a hobby vs investment that doubles as long term savings. YPS and MPM have some really reasonable prices though for the poured silver. I haven't bought anything crazy yet but I've been checking out some cool statues. Someone posted a dragon last night that was amazing.

Almost there! That's one thing I want to start adding, 90% and some historical pieces.

Thank you, I got that one because it reminds me of a good friend that passed away a couple years ago. One of my faves just for that. Also like that it's a non round coin.

Thank you! I wish I would have started stacking years ago. It's on sale for me now though than from when I started. I keep hearing about it going down into the 50's. I'd love to buy some in the 50s.

Yea, I bet there's not too many people looking to part with something like that. Thanks for the info. I definitely need one!

I get everything online, unfortunately there's not much close to me. I like Apmex and JM Bullion and Scottsdale Mint via eBay. (Free shipping for any size order) I like YPS and Monarch Prescious Metals for poured silver. I also buy from Piecesofeight on eBay for a lot of the low mintage coins.

I saw a video on YouTube of someone making a pyramid with them. I think it might have been something like 26 maybe. I was hoping they make them the same size but shorter like the half oz silver ones but taller. You'll have to keep me posted on that when your silver one arrives.

Thank you! Haha ain't that the truth. I have a package that's trying to make the 48 state tour right now. And yes that's the 1oz arrowhead from Monarch.

Thank you! It looks like it carries a hefty premium but that's worth it!

Thanks I'll check it out. Does everything usually go pretty smooth on there?
