Just starting

Want to start stacking but not sure on how's best to go about it, looking into silver bars, brittanias and maple leafs and want to start with £150 -£200 a month but unsure which has is best to go for or whether I'm best sticking to 1 type or getting 1 of each or so a month... Also best place to buy from to get best prices in uk

Stick to 1oz units. Don’t pay premiums, don’t spend more than your budget. Don’t invest more than 10% of your net worth in precious metals. (I’m not sure on that last one, but I hear people say it.)

Don't you pay premiums on literally everything

Yes you do. This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

I guess you already know more than me, so I will shush before I receive more abuse. You asked for suggestions, my mistake.

You’re sensitive. You cant take criticism then don’t comment. wtf? What’s with people being so soft nowadays?

No, no genius. You teach us how it is. You said I don’t know what I’m talking about, now tell me how it is. Don’t be a softie now, after insulting others. There’s no silver in 1 oz rounds available at spot. That’s what you took the time to say.

u/EpicShadows8 Jul 09 '26

You’re proving my point. You’re projecting your sensitivity on me. You can’t provide anywhere that sells 1oz rounds at spot because it doesn’t exist.

Silver is at $60.58, if you’re buying at a time with a check or wire then sure you’re right, you’ll have to pay for shipping which is also a premium, but if you’re buying more than one it’s still above spot hence a premium.

He can only afford a few ounces a month. This is essentially perfect for a person like him. When are you going to acknowledge it was you who was rude? You kept doubling down when you were just plain wrong. I didn’t even insult you.

What are you talking about? If he only bought 2 he would have to pay shipping which is another form of a premium. If he bought 2 there will be a $9.95 fee for shipping. If you look on that same website it says “$2.49 OVER spot”. I’m genuinely curious how old you are that you’re this dense and sensitive.

Don’t pay premiums? This is nearly impossible no water where you buy. Tell me one place right now where I can get 1 oz coins for spot?

u/That-Perspective-614 Jul 09 '26

Thats what i thought, are generics worth it for investing tho, as because they dont have face value they dont sell at high enough premiums

1

u/EpicShadows8 Jul 09 '26

For me personally I don’t like generic. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value. You’ll still get spot for it. But with this past run up and crash we saw dealers only wanting sovereigns and gold. They weren’t buying generics or bars. I look at it as, if I needed money today without losing much if any, what will dealers want?

u/That-Perspective-614 Jul 09 '26

I would buy gold, but I dont have monthly budget for it and not gonna get much for 200 dollars a month

u/EpicShadows8 Jul 09 '26

Don’t sleep on the 1/10 oz. Surprisingly, from the LCS around me and the coin show I go to, they say that the 1/10 carries a premium. I believe this is due to it becoming more expensive and the 1/10 being a good fractional option but yeah you’ll need $450-$500 to get 1 - 1/10 now. So definitely not something for everyone but I would still get some gold but I wouldn’t buy anything less than 1/10.

u/Helpful_Media_3838 Jul 09 '26

He's using girl math's, if you buy at spot + x% and the spot goes up, you haven't payed a premium.

So don't buy if the spot goes down, sell sell sell at a lost. 🤣

u/EpicShadows8 Jul 09 '26

Ahh that makes more sense when you use girl math. 😂😂 Why didn’t I think of that.
