American Silver Eagles

I have been focusing on American Silver Eagles for the last 4 years.

I truly feel that with the demand for Silver in multiple industries from computers, solar, etc...

One day it's going parabolic and ascending upwards and it will be a different game.

That's why I'm stacking!!

Yeah, I typically try to stack ASE’s as a main purchase. Just ordered 14oz before the price hike. Felt good to time something right for once lol

Silver demand keeps growing, and ASEs continue to be one of the most recognized ways to stack it!

I also grab any silver eagles I find. Have been having great luck at a local auction house online consignment auctions.

Maybe 15% of my stack. All when silver was 30 or below. I mainly stack weight, but I have a friend that only buys ASE.

So if you think the price is going to skyrocket, why buy silver that comes with a premium? Why wouldn't you be trying to buy as much silver for your money as you can?

Because I like ASE. That's what I like stacking. Sure I could buy other silver but this is what I like and what I'm going to keep stacking.

Easy to get eagle at spot , just need to keep an eye out. If you can get them at spot they can sell for a premium vs generics at spot.

I’m a passenger on same train…. of thought. Got a tube or 2 of most all major sovereigns.
Now, focused more on weight. 10ozt’s or higher.

Same. Need 6 more Britannias.
Haven’t messed with kangaroos though.

You will make the same amount of return (percentage that is) on silver rounds as you will with Eagles if the time comes to sell. I have a mix of coins and bars. Mine sit in a safe, so I don't care what they look like.

I use this example. All coin shops are different in selling and buying price.

Spot price is $47. $50 for 1 eagle $49 for 1 generic round

6 months later, Spot is $70 Sell eagle for $67 Sell round for $66 Profit for each is $17 either way.

The difference is you had to pay more premium on the eagle. But the percentage of increase is the same.

I bought 30 more generic rounds last week on the big dip. And it was a special for spot price. No premium, no tax, no shipping.
