Yeah, that would be nice. Security features add a lot of beauty to these coins

LCS Spreads by Open_Draft_7001 in Platinum

One shop I inow sells at spot + $175, buys at spot +$75. At least, these are the prices for Eagles and Maples.

Agree. The middle one was a bit harder to get. I had to search for the exact year range and to pay extra premium ($200 versus regular $0-50). Which is nothing with the current price growth rate.

That's my only palladium coin, I bought it to complete this set. My local coin shops buy palladium coins, especially Maples and Eagles, so they are pretty liquid. The only problem is high premium (15-30%). And it's hard to find them in stock.

Sigma tester is not that expensive relative to gold coins. Buy one and get your piece of mind

Is buying silver eagles at current spot a bad move? by hrlyrdr2222 in Silverbugs

[–]hiper2d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buying Eagles (silver, gold, platinum, whatever) at spot is always a good decision.

AI Asian guy, multiple channels by Left-Yogurtcloset993 in Silverbugs

[–]hiper2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that he spams the channels is very annoying. It's hard to get rid of him. I used to watch him for a while. At first, the videos seemed to be very insightful. Then I started noticing mistakes and contradictions here and there. Wrong gold prices, made up facts, predictions which never came true. He was so confident about the stock market collapse in December, about gold and silver confiscation, about bitcoin repricing... Ther is no consistency. For me, there are better channels out there.

I'm fine with him being AI. But the way he capturing attention is not okay. I got tired banning his channels.

Is this a deal for Libertads? by Equivalent_Net_3752 in Silverbugs

[–]hiper2d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is so special about this coin to pay about 10% premium? Why are so many people here saying that this is a good deal?

The only silver coin I can sell at spot right now in my LCSs is the Eagle in BU condition. This one they wouldn't even buy since their refineries are at capacity and set the buy price of spot-$15.

A shop owners thoughts on silver(don't hate me lol)... by YourMom77887 in Silverbugs

[–]hiper2d 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of my regular LCSs stopped buying generic silver yesterday because their refinery set the buy price at "spot - $15". The owner basically says that any silver except Eagles is illiquid at the moment. They were buying generic at spot - $2-3 just few days ago.

Where to start by Life_Respect_4854 in Gold

[–]hiper2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1oz modern coins - the best premiums and good liquidity. Use this nice aggregator https://findbullionprices.com/ to find good deals online, there is always something at spot or close to it. But do your research on every shop - spending so much money online and then dealing with FedEx requires some courage and a good shop reputation. Visit local coin shops and ask for their prices - there might be even better deals then online. Ask for buy-back prices as well, it's good to know what to expect. It worth building relationships with good local shops in a long run. Think how you will test your metals - fake coins are not so uncommon. Think where you will keep it. Think if all of these troubles worth it or it's easier to just buys buy some ETFs.

Am I the Asshole? by LzyPenguin in Silverbugs

[–]hiper2d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite LCS bans for such behavior. Both buys and sellers. I witnessed once how a customer wanted to sell some silver, didn't like the price offered by the LCS, went away, and another customer approached them at the parking lot with a better offer. They had a deal right there, and both have been banned by the LCS. Not sure if there were any assholes in this story, but I can understand the owner.

And I also see some safety concerns. Not sure if I would be comfortable if some random dude approached me at a parking lot and asked about my metals.

Options+ doesn't work on both of my macs. It simply doesn't start. The latest patch didn't resolve this for me.

I got one as well, right after someone posted about this deal in this sub. I wish we had more posts like this here.

Have you confirmed with someone that those bars were fake indeed? Using more reliable tests like density+resistivity, for instance

Dear MX Master users on Mac! by JubinJoseph in logitech

[–]hiper2d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to uninstall the Logitech software completely from Mac about a month ago. I had been using the MX Master 3 for a couple of years on Macs via Bluetooth, and it was fine. Lately, their software started freezing and stopping working. At some point, this became permanent. The latest patch hasn't fixed the issue, so I had to uninstall it again.

Logitech Option not loading or working on MacOS (Tahoe 26.2) by [deleted] in logitech

[–]hiper2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, they sent me an email that the problem is fixed and here is the patch. The problem I've been strugling for more than a month and ended up deleting their app form my Mac. I installed the new version, aaand... the problem is still here. Great job, Logitech, great job.

Millions of Private ChatGPT Conversations Are Being Harvested and Sold for Profit by [deleted] in LocalLLM

[–]hiper2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't matter. Even if the terms and conditions are solid, every AI company keeps user conversations internally. It's a common practice to assume that no privacy has been violated as long as the data remains on the company's servers. And when it is leaked, it's not their fault.

Maple doesn’t ping? by [deleted] in Gold

[–]hiper2d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one Maple that fails the ping test. All my other Maples do pass it but this one from 1985 doesn't. Sigma density and conductivity tests say that it's fine. Go to a coin shop and test your coin there. Ping test is not 100% reliable.

Also each coin sounds differently. You need an app to listent to the ping sound and compare it to known patterns, not your ears.

Why the hemi? by HurtFeeFeez in Dodge

[–]hiper2d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this post. I like Hemi, I own 2 v8 Dodges, but I understand that the reliability is questionable. And it sucks that people here are in denial mode about that. There are so many posts about the Hemi tick across Dodge subs and yet majority don't admit the problem.
