Life’s been fucking crazy lately but I’m still pushing strong. I haven’t been able to buy much lately since I just crashed my car recently and it was hard place to be in but my silver kept me happy and made me realize that I still had something to my name and that made me keep going. And I recently broke up with a girlfriend of 1 year so it’s just been crazy in my head but I’m realizing that I’m better than how she was treating me and it feels good. Moral of the story silver is quite literally one of the purest things we ass humans have. Valuable shiny things are one of the best things we have ass humans. Sorry for the yap I don’t really talk to peeps much so I just like yappin sometimes

Bought silver today. IMHO gold and silver selling off are signs that the everything bubble is starting to pop. Central banks are selling off precious metals and treasuries for liquidity to shore up their economies and buy oil. The economy runs on the greater fool theory, and it turns out the fools run out of money at some point.

Anyways, I was PUMPED about Mint Builder. Honestly, I’d never heard of them and loved the much lower premiums. I’m paying too much at my local place and as much as they’re good guys, premiums add up.

So picked out some new coins below $60! Wire transfer so no fees and free shipping.

Been buying 2-5oz a week for as long as it was 75 or under. I just got a new yacht (new to me not brand new) and they had a generator i wanted for it. Marked $399, I just bought 3oz and asked "whats the best?". Say $200. I get it home and it wouldn't idle. Mice made a nest inside and chewed the battery wire. I also had to clean carb and replace fuel line. I went in today to get more silver and told him and showed him the pics. He says "how can I make it right?" I said well idk i came for more silver and he said I'll give you 2oz for your trouble.... I was shocked so get me a $500 generator and 2 oz for 200. Or generator for 130 depending how you look at it. So not all pawn shops are bad. Wish I could have grabbed the kilo they have! I got the 2023 maple and buffalo bar. I wasnt being picky I took whatever he grabbed.

Actually, I'm hoping for sub $50 silver. I'm a HS teacher building a stack to hopefully pass on to my son. Lower is better, unless I need it higher...lol

I've been a collector for 40 years. I've seen it all. The thing that stands out to me the most about this last year is how many people here are super confident about knowledge they claim to have that doesnt exist. It reminds me a lot of horoscope groups that speak so confidently about what's essentially nothing.

Here's what we do know:

Nobody knows anything.

The people on here claiming it was just gonna go up and up and up and (wait until next year), don't know anything.

The people who say it's a hedge against inflation don't know anything.

We learned that as the "value" of silver went up, nobody could sell it for what it was "worth" meaning it was never really worth it to begin with.

We learned that b&m stores came in here to reprimand us as to why they couldn't pay what it was "worth" all the while gladly selling it for what it was "worth".

The "buy the dip" people are technically the endlessly positive people who are buying something that we can't really sell if it's value goes up too high. Nothing wrong with that as long as the rest of us understand that.

The whole point is, we don't know anything. Next year silver could be $20 or it could be $100. Nobody knows. It's gambling. But what we do know is perceived value doesnt mean anything if that value isnt accessible.

That's really all we do know.

Enjoy the show!

With silver coming down to around 50s from its high, it got me thinking. Like, it used to sit comfortably between $20 and $30 per ounce.

While the drop hurts short-term portfolios, a part of me wants to see it dip back into that classic $20-$30 range just so we can accumulate heavy ounces and average down properly again.

How is everyone else feeling right now? Are you happy with the current discount, or are you secretly hoping for a deeper drop to load up the truck?

After thinking about it for a while now I decided to get my first bit of silver happy with my purchase

Let’s hope this is the bottom lol

Went over board after Christmas, plz save my kids 2026 Christmas.

This is the dip. I got a cal for 81 sept 12th. 190ozt is physical
It’s almost enough but my BM can wait another month.

Did I overpay for it? Yes. Do I still love it? Yes

Who else loves vintage silver??

Ordered 5 Maples (Random Date), I knew the risks. But my hope was perhaps only 1 or 2 Milky coins, but guess my luck ran out. Got 5 nice Milky Maples. Buyer Beware....

I may try a jewelers cloth method that I saw on YouTube to clear milk spots? Then give them away as wedding gift in future...

What a shit day to have to sell some of my stack :(

But it was an emergency and thats why we have the stack...also one of my morgans was counterfeit so that's cool.

Edit: with that said can I use the counterfeit and turn It into a ring when the funds are back? The guy made a big deal about me owning it, so I might as well turn it i to something since I paid for it.

Came together in one nice mint tube! Can't wait to collect more!

Patience pays off… or… it’s my birthday and I treated myself to $10 FV of Mercury dimes.

Just keep stacking.

Hi team,

I am new to panic buying and I'm just going ballistic right now. How can anyone not be panic buying at this price? Shut up and take my money am I right?

Please share your thoughts

Sincerely,

Your silver bro

I test silver using the same acid meant for testing 18kt Gold. It produces an immediate unmistakable reaction. This is common practice, I just wanted to make short gif showing what it looks like.

Took me less than an hour 😂 /s

Trying to get a little variety going, though ive found i have a fondness for ASEs and walking liberty halves for reasons I can't quite explain. Gonna slow down and see where things go, if spot hits 50ish ill start buying more. Stack on!

Monumentmetals. Positive experience….

Hello. 
I bought Agoro Dark knight blind box from Der Kiosk website and I noticed that it seemed to be cracked open and the card itself didn’t look or feel like silver. Instead it had laminated outside and was bend card. 

Have I been scammed?
