The Worst Decision I Ever Made? 10-ounce Silver Bars

New Sub Here!🎉😊

The Royal mint 10 oz coins are even better, nice round coins with amazing designs, Royal arms, Tudor beasts, Myths and legends, bullion and numismatics all in one. And they have government backed 10 pounds face value. They should appeal to everyone in the spectrum, bullion investors and numismatic coin collectors.

Kilo ftw

I stack 100 oz bars for the weight and price.

!(: COOL, THANKS ;)!

I too believe the 10 oz is great size to stack...especially when it comes to low premiums...I just finished filling a Case Guard 30 caliber ammo box with (60) 10 oz bars (600 oz's) which fit perfectly...capsules and all...smiles...the Britannia's, RCM's, CTN's, and the Sunshine Minting bars are all the same size and are in capsules...the Silvertown, St Helena, JBL, and the Asahi bars are all the same size as well...but just a tad off from the latter ones I placed in capsules...as you have found out with the St Helena 10 oz bar you have compared to the RCM bar...which I left in their original plastic...because they haven't made a capsule for them yet...but those are the two sizes of 10 oz bars I have stacked...just because they are recognizable and very easy to stack being close to being of the same size uniformly...it's the OCD in me...smiles

All of Germainia Mint bars are awesome, and 4-four 9's, plus the anti- counterfeit hologram

I love my mercury dimes and 10 oz bars.

Agreed 👍

Great video. Never own a 10oz and that will change. Love the Canadian mint the best and Britannia is my 2nd choice. Guess get get them both.

My only issue with 10 ounce is that a price jump will make them more difficult to sell, but I will get some eventually

I dont think I would remain in a shop that was asking me where I got my coins.

I wish someone would do a video of apmex stackers vs scottsdale stackers in 10 oz and 100 oz. Maybe ill do it myself once i get out of my current cc debt

CC: wow, great video, and I've watched a lot of them. it would seem that 5oz bars would be optimal to me, for easier separation of storage or resale, but once you hold a kilo bar, going down to anything under 10oz would seem inadequate.

I buy almost nothing but 10oz bars these days. My favorite atm is the Germanium Mint bars. But I'll buy other types when I find 1+ pricing with low premium. I still buy a few silver coins now and then when something is on sale but I doubt I'll ever buy generic 1oz silver again.

I am Constitutional/Commemoratives, with the focus on Numismatics. I only have one 10 Ounce Silver Bar. I gave a company a justifiably bad review, the company had fired the employee he was so bad, and then the Sales Manager called me and bribed me with the 10 Ounce Silver Bar to take away the Review...so I did...LOL!

Nice bars, A.P. i mean cash!! LOL 👍

Do the brutish 10 oz bars milkspot?

i noticed that "kilo" wasn't an option in that survey. Not that it would have changed the outcome much.

thanks for sharing.. I prefer the sovereign bullion coins myself, but can't deny that the bars are great way to add weight to the stack with low premiums

"Promo sm"

I managed to get 500 ASE's, and a single 100oz bar, and about 50oz in 1 & 2oz rounds. After that, I started buying 10oz bars only....
They are the sweet spot in my opinion. I get one of these each month, plus 1oz of gold per year. (Not a lot, but over time, these goals will add up)

For the bars, I started with no preference to which ones, but several months back, I switched to the Nadir bars. (Very plain, but I like their physical size.)

I also like the Scottsdale chunky bars, and the Scottsdale stacker bars. (I started buying these about 3 months into the journey) are what I was buying when I 1st started going with 10oz bars)

I will keep buying until I get to about 5k ounces I think, and then will probably not buy anymore. (Of course, who knows, 5k is halfway to 10k, so hitting that goal may make me stack even harder to try to hit that elusive 10k mark?)

As for selling, my LCS pays the same, regardless of the make of the bars. (silver is silver is what he always says. He also does not charge any extra premiums for any bars he sells.)

Cheers!

Steve in Florida caught your video and enjoyed it thank you my base is eagles bought well before 4 years ago before eagles got so expensive but have also stored 41 ten Oz bars and 20 5 Oz bars

ALL of your bars take up exactly the same amount of space. They all have the same weight and density. They may have different dimensions, but none of them take up any more space that the others. That's just science.

i have nearly 200 ten ounce bars, 8 kilo bars, 3 one hundred ounce bars, 1000 one ounce rounds and many 5 ounce pony express bars, and none are high premium silver, all generic except the pony express 5 ouncers. i;m 15 ounces away from 4000 ounces, would to get 5000

Any hint of milk spotting with the Britannia 10oz bars ? I am very tempted by those, but Royal Mint has major milk spotting problems and I would be furious if my 10oz bar started doing spots like my only Britannia 2023 coin !!

10oz and kilos 😎👊🏻 I see you like the same bars I enjoy, just missing the Scottsdale stackers 😉👊🏻 great video bro 🇺🇸

the RCM 10 oz bar has a security feature, note centre leaf on backside.

I love the 10 oz!!!! I picked up one of the first 10 oz pours by Monarch (no logo) from my LCS the other day. Same price per as a generic round! It's so fun doing the research post sale! 😎🤑

I prefer the 5oz bars. Sunshine bars are great. I also like one ounce bars, and coins of 1/2 3/4 and 1.5 ounces.
I love that fat, poured 10 ouncer that you showed. I like the odd stuff!

I like the 10 Oz, there's a lot of interesting designs and a nice size but rarely see them at a good price in England. The Britannia bars are nice but seen so many with milk spots 😬

Awesome video and I agree about the 10 ounce bars. They always were the most cost effective small size. The think there really isn’t a hard to sell aspect to do, as they are no different usually than generic rounds. Most rounds the average stacker would struggle to identify the mint as there are so many of them. (Google helps!). But I’m glad to see the silver stacking! Excited to see you meet the goal by year end! -PiFS🐀

Anything .999 is fine with me depending on the price!

Just buying any of it! Lost money on paper at least every single day since I bought into metals! Worst investment ever.

I do like my 10 ouncers!

Germania Mint is a great product... Individually wrapped, serialized, chunky and beautiful all at competitive generic silver prices... Good luck on your 10oz bar goal !!

When I was in New York City about a year ago, no shop was interested in buying silver bars or bullion but gold was okay. I try to buy smaller silver bars they tend to be easier to get rid of.

I bought a ton of silver during the March dip @ $18.25/oz including premium. That was very nice indeed.

My issue is that im a coin collector at heart so anything pretty I end up buying it, ive probably spent a fortune on premiums but i don't really care

I just like smaller 1 and .5 oz rounds/coins. I do have a 10oz First Majestic bar. I mostly stack for if the shtf and I have to barter so smaller denominations work better for that.

Love me some 10 oz bars!! You got a very nice start to the 120! Thanks for sharing! 🪶🤘🏼🪶

I’ve been stacking Englehard bars since 2017 and I took all of my seven Engelhard bars to my L.C.S. last week and only getting $1184. but I didn’t sell them. My L.C.S. will only give me a dollar over spot so I’m cutting back on buying silver bars especially high premiums ones.

I like 1 oz bars. I think THEY'LL be the most popular when AG goes to 100 bucks or maybe before. I don't purchase ANYTHING from the Royal Canadian Mint. They are certified ripoff artists. Sure they make beautiful coins...many with who knows how much metal in them AND they're just a little too cozy with the government.

I collect 10 Oz Bar's.

Weight and liquidity of silver in large amounts is cumbersome. Timing the sale of it is tricky as well because when it’s a good time LCS’s have lines going out the door due to everyone else wanting to rid themselves of the Silver Anchor which was bought at at least 15-20% premium. Fractional gold and one ounce gold is compact and concentrated value and way more liquid I feel.
Cheers C.C🥃

10 oz pressed and stacker bars form the majority of my stack. They're usually similar in size, so they stack well. RCM bars are by far the best, they're beautiful to look at and don't have milk spotting issues. 🥰

I agree bars are the way.
I prefer the Scottsdale 10 oz stackers, Chunky’s, and the Germania 5oz & 10 oz bars.

I assume you're based in North America. If so, the RCM offerings really make more sense. As you mentioned, the obscure offerings are harder to move in the States. Even the 1 oz. coins from the Perth Mint at four 9's are frowned upon by dealers, but if you're a regular customer at your lcs, they'll usually take them on a trade. To me personally, silver serves but one purpose: Accumulate it when the gold to silver ratio is high, and then swap for gold when it dips to 65:1 or so. I have respect for silver stackers (esp. coin collectors)... I just don't bat from that side of the plate myself.

I have always liked 10 oz bars. I messed up in the beginning buying pressed bars instead of poured bars. I stopped at 100 bars. I bought any bars that were different. Stored them away. Some day I might gather them all together and take a picture or not. Just something to pass onto my family.....
