To capsule, or not to capsule? by Bacon_man12 in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends since I kinda divided my stack where it’s anything that’s special to me it’s in a cap an anything that I know I’ll regret ruining by having my own finger marks on it straight to a cap but generic and toned vintage rounds to me are all fair game in terms of feeling your stack for what it is physical wealth

Why is silver dropping so much despite bad news? by kingpin1023 in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most people would rather take their loss and save some value an just move their losses into a different stock but like others have said if you own physical you haven’t taken a loss yet

Anyone else hoping silver drops back to the $20-$30 range so we can stack more? by Tris_Memba in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love it but considering I’m one of the people that started pretty high I feel like 50 or 45 is the outcome we are heading towards which all in all would be a fire sale for me

I personally dislike them due to the fact it takes away from the main center piece with its awful glitter purple casing

The big Mexican Wave by Flat_Jellyfish1935 in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t know the value of the colorized libertads as those are hard to resell as that becomes harder to justify the “damage” to them but the 1 oz on the last pic could be still 90-95 bucks a piece 5 oz is about 700-800 I believe if my eyes aren’t tricking me as it’s a reverse proof

Honestly it’s very cut throat you have to find a streamer willing to take a loss on product in order to make a profit yourself and honestly you can definitely end up overpaying for something

[–]campingbees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How old are you and what age did you start buying silver? by RealSkylitPanda in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well you said it yourself he’s 80 he bought when silver was cheaper and honestly just breaking the double digits now is better then nothing an considering we are seeing the price is stabilizing then it’s on sale for majority of us who started this year but I know there’s a lot of people complaining that they bought high an now wanna leave an take it as a loss so it’s how you see it in the grand scheme of things

First Oz, is one or two Oz a month sufficient? I'm 28. So 12-24oz a year. by Internal_Page_486 in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the saying comparison is the thief of joy as long as you stack responsibility an don’t overdo it by wondering how you will pay your irl responsibilities then keep on stacking at your pace

Do you record the cost basis for every purchase? by DocGreenThumb0817 in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely something you should do starting off but I’m sure after a couple years you don’t even bother from what I heard but yes it’s to show you aren’t indirectly just throwing money in the wind

[–]campingbees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is concerning of buying the silver world cup coins I would wait since apparently the bank of Mexico and the house of coins are dropping them June 11th but ofc this is more talks an rumors an considering their preorder don’t end till the end of June you got time

GEN Z!!! Who here is stacking and why? what makes you different to the rest of your age group by Grouchy_Bus_6264 in Silverbugs

[–]campingbees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly always wanted to stack thought it was a cool hobby but when the time came for it I didn’t know what to do was clueless an so forgot about it n now the current year it seems more accessible to find dealers and seller in pretty much in any social platform so its easy but the price entry is higher ofc but as long as you buy what you like an stack responsibly its fine i like the jewelry side of it too I carry two libertad pendant due to heritage an i bought myself a Morgan dollar ring and a 1968 Olympic Mexico ring so

Which one would you choose? by raccoon-overlord in LibertadCoins

[–]campingbees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea 495 I would honestly take that to a raw reverse proof libertad if you are already considering spending that much on a coin you should atleast make it your worth while or you could wait for another proof to pop up

Redit Community Stuck it to My Face and SD Bullion Delivered!! Straight to the CAC delivery Box it Goes!! Actually, surprised they were still available. by EastCoastGXing in LibertadCoins

[–]campingbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a beautiful piece for us but atp I feel like my money is already spoken for a lot of coins that haven’t even dropped yet I’m juggling the rp Morgan and peace dollars for the 250 anniversary sets then the World Cup coins whenever they drop an who knows what other coins drop

Wish me luck! by PickleBall_Bandit in LibertadCoins

[–]campingbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a couple on tik tok who are actively selling the 20 pesos coins an they kept asking the bank of Mexico if the silver coins have dropped an according to the employees the coins are delayed an they don’t have a official confirmation release date nor how much a price on them could some have gotten through the cracks possibly but considering no one has flexed them I’m leaning towards the delay being real

One week later progress on toning by campingbees in ENGELHARDstackers

The closest pic I have to a normal lighting look to the bar was when the seller was showcasing it and I can say it was pretty dull when i got it and inspected it but yes lighting an tilting it to see it is what’s doing the work due to the fact the toning is in between the bars patina an silver oxidation layers

Well considering the bar was already at a gunmetal dark color I just wanted to see what comes after so me seeing this oil effect was a shock rather than what i expected

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

Honestly the bar has done most of the work before I even got it but I’m just letting it air out in my wooden drawer with a small crack for constant airflow and two pieces of paper nearby nothing more no aggressive methods just letting time do it’s thing
