FIRST FOR 100 DOLLAR SILVER

>>60886429 (OP)
>if SHTF you can’t eat your silv-

Hey I've bought gold before, I'm thinking of buying 1g of gold a week to kinda dollar cost average into gold, or should I try to save money on premiums and buy larger amounts at greater intervals, like 0.5 ounces 3 times a year (every 4 months)?

I can't believe that fiat is losing value so fast.

>>60886472
>buying 1g of gold a week
The premiums will hurt, a lot.

>>60886562
>attempted tamp
>They gave it their best shot
They were successful in keeping it below $41. (tamped at $40.96) The tamp isn't for controlling the long term price, the tamp is for killing momentum and keeping silver boring/uninteresting for the hedge funds and dumb money for as long as possible.

The tamp cannot control the long term price, but can delay the eventual bull run. They've literally been running this same playbook for decades.

The big issue is, China is now paying over $42/oz so you have a net flow from west to east. You can fit 200k oz of silver in one shipping container and it costs less than $50k for shipping + insurance to ship a container of silver to China, netting $150k in profit on a ONE DOLLAR delta.

They CANNOT allow the delta between LBMA/COMEX and SGE/SHFE to go much above $2.00 or silver will quickly and completely drain out of the western vaults.

Why? It's fungible. That's kinda the point. Cut that bitch up. Weigh it and sell it. If I'm buying something and the guy wants a 1/2 oz of gold and all I got is an oz then I break out the pocket knife, I don't hand over the oz.
You're horrible at business lol.

For the "nothing ever happens crowd" we are approaching the endgame for the US dollar.

https://xcancel.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1962875968806064527

For those who don't want to read the thread, I'll give a tldr; and follow through with the logical conclusion on how it ends.

1. Lowering the Fed rate cause long term bonds to go up?
-Fed rate only effects the short term t-bills. Long bond interest is determined by market demand. Lower short term interest rates signal higher inflation, causing the market to demand higher interest for longer term debt.

2. Mortgage and car loan interest rates are priced based on the 10 year Treasury bond yield. Ie, lowering the Fed short term rates will cause mortgage and car loan interest rates to GO UP.

3. The Federal government CANNOT afford to pay 5%+ interest on long term bonds. The interest is ALREADY eating over $1 trillion/year out of the budget.

4. Since the US government cannot afford higher long term interest, but the market DEMANDS higher interest, the Federal Reserve must step in and do yield curve control, which means printing new money and buying the US government debt, Weimar style.

5. This puts the US government into a debt spiral where the more money is printed, the higher inflation gets, which requires even MORE money printing, which pushes inflation even higher and this cycle continues until the US dollar dies.

6. But wait, it gets worse. Since there are trillions of dollars held internationally OUTSIDE the US borders, and outside the US banking system, these foreigners WILL race to dump their US dollars as quickly as possible, greatly accelerating the US dollar inflation.

>>60886827
lol, he wasn’t even bragging about a very big stack chill

>>60886810
7. For US mortgage holders with a fixed 30 year interest term, inflation is a GOOD THING because their payments are made using less valuable dollars.

8. For people on variable interest, they will get raped. Anyone with significant non-fixed debt will be crushed.

9. People with gold and silver will do very well, as will the miners. Even if the dollar shits the bed, the mining companies can pay shareholders in certificates redeemable in metal.

>>60886879
>I don't think putting pictures of your stack on any digital device, let alone the internet, is the best advice.
I concur. When things get serious, governments get desperate, not unlike a drowning swimmer. Stackers will get called hoarders, money launderers, smugglers, tax cheats and demonized to where your neighbors will inform on you if they know you stack. Just like they reported on people who had too many houseguests during covid.

They will use AI to scan through emails, text messages, phone camera rolls looking for pictures and texts relating to precious metals, do an image search/meta data search to see if the picture is an original, take the gps data encoded in the picture and issue an automated search warrant.

If you say you had a boating accident, they put you in jail until you tell them where your stack is hidden. How long can they keep you in jail if you don't confess? They did it to one man for 14 years, picrel.

I believe this is the case. The shorts are ultimately backstopped by the Federal Reserve. They can't stop the tide, but they can help prevent a tsunami. TWICE today we approached $41.00, and TWICE someone stepped in and tamped the price back down. The last time today was at $40.99.

>>60887174

>>60886810
How does the market determine long-term bond interest? The Fed has the ability to offer bonds at whatever rates they want, same as with short-term paper.

>>60887233
The Treasury Dept issues bonds, not the Fed. The Fed sets the overnight rate for bank lending.

>>60887233
Rates are determined by the buying and selling of bonds in the market which determines the yields on these fixed income instruments. Fed doesn't offer any bonds the treasury does.

Wow paper silver is unraveling. $14 incoming

>Rates are determined by the buying and selling of bonds in the market
This. Also when bonds are first issued, it's an auction by the Treasury, so in both cases it's based on market demand, and right now foreigners do NOT particularly want US Treasuries. Most Treasuries are now owned by US entities such as banks and pension funds who have been "incentivized" (forced) by the tax code to buy them. Over 60% of US government debt is owed to US entities.

One of the ironies (scams) is that ALL of the social security surplus was "loaned" to the Federal government and spent, leaving special Social Security IOUs.

The US government is going to monetize (print) the $150 trillion needed to financie the boomer's retirement and medical obligations.

>>60887509
>Tether is believe is domiciled in the Caymans.
You are 100% correct. Tether is using short term T-Bill paper.

This doesn't really help the US government very much, as it has to roll that debt over at least every year.
https://blockworks.co/news/tether-says-usdt-stablecoin-now-backed-by-t-bills

There is very little demand for long term US debt. The Treasury interest volatility creates enormous downside risk for anyone dumb enough to buy long US paper.

Almost certainly, and you can bet every fucking Jew graduating from high school will get one as a graduation present.

First try at a 3D image of my nugget.

Some young friends a couple in their 20s want to start slowly stacking gold while saving for a house separately.
I've explained it's really long term savings that hedge against inflation etc. , but do you all think they should or is it too late to start with the gold and silver prices so high?
Just kidding they really are going to start slowly buying hold but of course it's a good idea:D

As someone pointed out upthread, gold and silver will never go down long term in US dollars. The M2 money supply just keeps going vertical.

>>60887638
Absolutely

>>60887608
>>60887619
tell your friends to acquire silver, the metal on the periodic table of elements Ag, any way they can. As low a premium as possible.
Houses are about to get hit hard by interest rates going up when they start to lower them soon.

>>60887634
>we pay 21% tax on silver here
Even on sovereign mint coins?

I know that in Bulgaria, despite the fact that sovereign mint coins are exempt from the 20% VAT, premiums are stupid high, but sovereign mint gold coins, also exempt from VAT, have relatively low premiums, so gold is a much better value in Bulgaria.

>>60887039
Even if you did a 51% attack, and no one ever has, it doesn't mean you can steal whatever you want. At best you could roll back recent transactions in which you'd sent coin.

>>60887651
Thank you for the input fren but they have good jobs and can comfortably save for a house. Abd with a 21% silver tax here gold is just a decent side saving method for 10+ years down the line for be that later purchases, kuds or retirement, which imo is never a bad idea.

That is almost certainly true in the USA. 400 million+ privately owned firearms makes governments much more polite and cordial and respectful of property rights.

The opposite case holds in UK and much of western Europe though.

>>60888211
During periods of lower risk/higher certainty they're a decent way of getting metals exposure in a portfolio without having the deal with handling physical product, however they're hugely over-leveraged in terms of shares:physical and highly vulnerable to a collapse if the withdrawals - either by sales of ETF shares or conversion of shares to physical by institutions - force a run on the fund. This makes them highly undesirable during a period of high uncertainty/a market crisis.

>>60888161
>I've never seen one in real life are they fragile?
Yes and no. They are two sheets of tough polyester with the gold foil laminated. They can withstand handling quite well but not being folded, so bill holders need to be full size. Also because the different denominations have different amounts of gold, they are different sizes which is something we're not used to.

Everyone who has held one has been captivated by it.

They are absolutely georgous though and we gave a Goldback to our Premier suggesting we get them made for our Province. Perhaps after we become independent.

$700 an oz is my official sell number.

>>60888211
>dare i ask about gold ETFs here?
Sure. Here's my opinion.

In all seriousness, if you want to DAY TRADE gold or silver, an ETF is the way to go. The premiums on buying and selling physical are prohibitive, but owning an ETF is NOT owning the metal. It's exactly like owning a picture of the metal or an NFT of a picture of the metal.

I’m pro gun rights, but let’s be honest, at least the women on the right weren’t allowed to fuck 20 different men before settling down in a marriage. Sorry I just can’t take women seriously after they have exposed themselves for what they truly are, especially armed women like female cops. How many women do you know stack precious metals? They have zero foresight on such matters. They are emotional, poor decision makers without proper guidance, narcissistic in that they are driven to maximize the amount of attention that they receive, and they are mostly financially destructive

>>60888257
Yup, rules are so messy or straight up non-existant about this whole tariff retardness, a lot of postal services in the EU simply decided they wont ship to the US until this get fixed. It's the same here. Now if i want to send anything to the US, i have to declare $0.00 of value for the parcel otherwise it's automatically dismissed.

That was to be expected, the combo of incredibly kafkaian uberslow administration + Bloumpf sharting out ideas from his magic hat every 2min, this couldn't end up smoothly.

>>60888312
Deflationary isn't the correct term, and no, i don't think it would have any meaningful impact on PMs. What's at play rn is the fall of the world's currency and the collapse of the US empire. And the failing of the neoliberal model. PMs simply act as canaries in the coal mine and there is no stopping what's coming, you'd need at least half a century of drastic measures and total system/societal changes (TKD) to reverse the trend.
In a sense, we stackers are doomed to win. But that will be a bitter win. At least we will have something, the majority of others wont.

main bull thesis on gold is that it will be revalued higher to bring down the national debt. If the public believes this will happen, it will cause a gold rush 2.0. Some people argue that deflation will cause gold to collapse, this includes economic depression, AI increasing efficiencies, labor force imploding, etc. but in fact the government could just default on the debt if that happens, driving gold higher

>>60888336
Love this video.

I'm calling it for platinum, I think it's having a palladium moment soon.
Basically I got in at 1200 (earlier than that officially, but platinum has high premiums), so I'm only up 200 right now.
I fully expect to be up 2,000 in a few years. 70% of platinum comes from South Africa, and the demand is remaining stable but the supply is tanking - and retail investment for platinum basically didn't exist 20 years ago, but now it's slowly cranking up and people are starting to stockpile it. Gold and Silver will get sold off and retail will suppress prices if they get too high, there's not platinum floating around out there. All they can do is pray that South Africa produces more of it if it gets too expensive.

Adding to this one for platinum sisters
>Nonetheless, the market dynamics explaining platinum’s bull run this year could not be any clearer. According to figures from the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC), 2025 is the third straight year in which the metal has registered a supply deficit of nearly one million troy ounces out of an approximate eight-million-troy-ounce annual market. “The platinum market is in a structural deficit,” Edward Sterck, director of research at WPIC, recently acknowledged to MarketWatch, with 2024’s shortfall of 992,000 ounces being the “deepest” since 2013. Sterck also projected a deficit of 966,000 ounces to materialise this year.
Only 8 million ounce market, and a 1 million ounce deficit. That's a deficit of 1/8th of the entire production of platinum in a given year. This has also been happening for the past three years, and is projected to happen this year. How much platinum did they have stockpiled? Significantly less than gold, nobody stockpiles platinum. Some countries, like the USA and China, have strategic stockpiles, but they don't have hundreds of years of private investment stockpiles of said metals. There is no "fort knox" filled with platinum.

>>60888363
>So what does that mean for the country?
Hard reset. That will be incredibly painfull since you don't even have the industrial infrastructure left for the most basic needs, and nearly half your population isn't american.
We really need to ponder this for a minute. At peak boomer retirement in 6 years from now, there will be 1 active worker having to financially support 2 inactive adults.
The next generation is overwhelmingly non-white.

Are we ready to leave our parents when they are the most vulnerable in the hands of foreigners who have zero connexion with us?
Are we to believe these shitskins will peacefully accept to pay 70% of their salary in taxes to sustain the lifestyle/healthcare of white boomers in the coming decades?

I think it's questions we really have to think about very carefully. All these euthanasy laws aren't being brute forced by chance. The fact shitskins doctors coming here can have a PhD equivalence and practice after just a year is extremely dangerous. When financial incentives will come per boomer euthanazied, do you really think Dr Jeet will hesitate even for a picosecond to inject your mom in the retirement home?

I'm talking about this because just yesterday i read about the new law authorizing the euthanasia of tutelled adults. So at any given time the hospital can decide to declare your parents unfit to take their own decision, then decide what's best for them is death. All while importing people who have zero ethnic/social/historical boundary with us to do the dirty job.
All while the western states are in full banqueroute mode.

Again, no argument, I said I have daughters... I love them dearly and only want them to be afforded the right to consent, not whore. Many of the last few generations haven't had real fathers in their lives so they're all fucked up, and even the ones who did have them, they have overdeveolped daddy issues. So what is one to do?
The coin you posted commemorative of the 400 years after the protestant movement in the city where the printer originated. So many wonderful things came of that, and so many horrible things as well. But it's not a matter of good vs. bad, just is, and how is it used. Examples?

When will the schlorping stop? I just want my comfy 3.3 gold-plat ratio back, but I don't think it's coming back... Now the gold-palladium ratio is 3.0 and its 10 year historical low was .6, at one point within the last 10 years palladium was worth more than gold by a significant margin.
Now palladium has shitted itself. I don't even know what I should do anymore, realistically we're looking at a huge platinum SURGE, but it's already 50% higher than it was last year while palladium is probably never gonna be cheaper than it is right now - and palladium is 15x more rare than platinum, so over the long term it beats both gold and platinum significantly in terms of lack of supply, and has only recently been used in any meaningful quantity, so 30 years from now I could retire on it probably.

I don't know, too many choices.

She was walking around chatting one week, the next being convinced her husband is waiting for her on the other side all you need to do is go for a long sleep. It really rubbed me the wrong way. The kids are glad she is gone because they can now travel freely instead of checking in on their elderly mother. My suspicion is they helped fill out the paperwork or approved her offing herself because nobody seemed remorseful or upset. They were elated and joyful. Sickening.

Yeah, industrial metal moment.
It's a precious metal, yet at the same time is used in pretty much every "green energy" thing out there, it's used in every car, it's used in even non-advanced industries because of how conductive it is.

>Goldbacks are goofy and high premium makes them worthless.
Half true, they are very high premium, but nearly everyone whose hand I put a Goldback in wanted one. Some people offered me money for them. Others went out and bought their own. Some started selling them for profit.

>No normies know what they are.
True. We attended a course taught by someone from Utah and he had never heard of Goldbacks, even though Utah is the first State where they became legal tender.

>I don’t want anything resembling fiat dollars. I want gold currency to be a coin like intended.
Goldbacks look nothing like any currency anywhere in the world. You can see they are real gold, Nothing matches the beauty of a gold mirror.

Goldbacks are the only practical small denomination gold specie money that I've seen. A one gram gold coin like the "Maplegram" is worth over $100USD and is about the size of the top 1 mm of a pencil eraser. It is too small in physical size to be of practical use, yet too large in deonomination to be able to be used for small purchases.

I will say again, Goldbacks are a terrible way to STACK gold, but the BEST way I've ever seen to SPEND specie.

We could go to a tokenized gold blockchain at say 1 miligram, redeemable for physical in increments of one gram, but digital tokens aren't specie, just like gold certificates aren't gold, because redeemability can be turned off at a whim.

Goldbacks are physical manifestation of gold specie that is:
-counterfeit resistant
-tamper evident
-resistant to "clipping"
-non destructively testable
-durable
-very beautiful

As a "voluntary" legal tender no one is forced to use them, but their growing popularity, with Florida being the latest, and the increasing number denominations, ranging from 1/2 Goldback to 100 Goldback notes suggests there IS a popular demand for them.

Having a ready to go alternative "legal tender" waiting in the wings for the death of the Federal Reserve Notes is a very good idea.

I'm not reading all of this, as to not taint my testimony.
I bought 100 of them when they were like 2.50 each, handed them out as presents every once in a while. Normgroids love them, though not quite as much as they love a 1oz chunk of silver it only cost me a couple bucks vs silver's higher price. If I handed one of them a silver dime that cost the same they'd let it fall out of their pocket and not care, but they all keep the goldback carefully saved somewhere.

The strategy really was that simple.

>>60888666

>>60888660

NGL, it's hilarious just watching the value of my stack go up as seemingly nothing else is a safe asset, I was completely unemployed for the past 3 years living like a hermit, not even checking stock or PM prices or anything like that, and my net worth has only increased.
I can already survive with just the labor my hands produce, but when you stack it's like life on easy mode. The truest form of "passive income" there is.

>>60888669
>but they all keep the goldback carefully saved somewhere.
They really are unique and beautiful to look at. I have one I can see from my bed and from time to time just take out of it's sleeve and hold it because of the way it captures the light.

I spend much more time enjoying a Goldback note than I do a 1 oz gold Maple that stays locked in the safe. One is worth $5kCDN and the other is worth $10CDN.

I also like the theme of using women named after the latin virtues like Prudentia, Victoria, Justitia, etc but I believe that was only done for the original Utah runs. The art could be better in my opinion, but the basic concept is very nice.

>>60888709
>The one thing I would add is that to some extent they are "art" and as such, reasonable minds can differ on the aesthetic quality.
100% correct. I find some Goldback themes more appealing than others. The gold in them gives them all a distinctive beauty and I believe over time the art will get better.

>>60888660
I bought some goldbacks after APMEX sent me a free one. They are neat and I do like them as a novelty investment I own. The concept is neat. And, even if I were to only buy a few of the lower denominations to fill out an order, the trader in me really has to speak out:
By the time you accumulate 1oz of gold in goldbacks you will damn near spend twice as much as if you just bought bullion. I can entertain some of the smaller goldbacks only costing $3.75-$10 because the dollar value is so tiny and it's cool to have divisible gold like this. But it's nothing that junk silver can't accomplish at an ALREADY preferable GSR ratio.
I won't lie, I DO want a 100 & 50 goldback just to see how heavy it is and enjoy the collection aspect of it. But a $700 goldback is just as much as a 1/10 bullion coin! For every gram I have of goldbacks, the cost says I should have 2. There is simply no getting away from it. Even grams of gold are often overpriced, but now they are doubled? Na, bad investment. Just like a lot of novelty silver used to to soak up "newbie" investment capital with credit premium. I actually do think the front-lines of retail bullion sales are geared towards finding ways to turn stacking in to "collecting". They want you to spend $80 per ounce of the special series instead of just slurping tubes. Same is true of gold!

Tbh I'd never buy gold fractionals besides goldbacks, but buying a few of them is a very easy way of just having some gold. I bought them as a joke years ago and now have over 500 dollars in gold, whereas before I'd have zero because I just am not interested in some 1/10oz fractional.
I see no problem spending a small percentage of my investments on novelties as long as it isn't the majority of the stack, and a goldback is a neat novelty that I've used a couple times just as a gift to someone - it's actually usable.

I don't even know if I'd ever stack gold, I look at the price of 1oz gold and realize that I could just buy all silver instead, even if gold is technically supposed to be the "safer" option.
Yeah, the newbies are bound to waste a few thousand doing dumb stuff before they have their system down, but if that's ever enough to effect their investments / accumulation they were NGMI and dead on arrival anyway.

>By the time you accumulate 1oz of gold in goldbacks you will damn near spend twice as much as if you just bought bullion.
100% correct. You cannot think of it as "gold". It CONTAINS gold, but there is a hefty "seigniorage" fee.

Goldbacks are shitty for "stacking" for exactly the reasons you've outlined. Goldbacks are perfect for "spending" because that seigniorage fee is a permanent part of the value of the Goldback.

One Goldback is worth EXACTLY $7.02. It IS money so there is no BUY/SELL commission. Unlike a silver or gold Eagle or Maple where I go to the coin shop and I get clipped 5%-7% each way when I buy and sell the coin for fiat.

https://www.goldback.com/calculator/

The intended value of the Goldback (aside from collector esthetics) is in it's use as money. Back when Mercury dimes were originally in circulation, there was only a cent or two worth of silver in them. Your argument is that mercury dimes weren't worth 10 cents because there was only two cents worth of silver in them.

In fact, the Soviet Union COUNTERFEITED 1923 Mercury dimes using the EXACT alloy composition that the US Mint used. You weren't paying for the "silver" per se, you were paying for the silver packaged in a form that was readily identifiable, ideally suited for commerce.

Imagine having to weigh out 10 cents worth of silver dust. How convenient would it be to have a dime sized, fixed, standard quantity of silver in a package that was self evident and reliabile?

If you want to stack gold, buy bullioni or Eagles or Buffaloes. If you wanted to SPEND gold, in very small quantities, in a retail environment, what other realistic options do you have?

Obviously in today's environment, I will spend my increasingly worthless fiat, not gold or silver. (Gresham's Law: bad money tends to drive good money out of circulation)

Having a ready drop in replacement for a failing fiat is like having a fire extinguisher or a gun on your nightstand.

Producing gold/silver miners, unlike almost any other publicly traded corporation, in the event of an economic crash, could pay their shareholders IN METAL in extremis.

During the 1930s great depression, after outlawing gold possession, the gold mining company stocks became the main way that people could invest in physical gold "derivatives" and those stocks did very well.

>>60888838
even if it were true that all of those listed miner stocks had terms where they had to cash you out in physical metal, and not hyperinfalted currency (like comex) or the like,

if the economic transition is to digital currency, it would extort you for all your holdings to buy into the new system, which would be the mark of the beast in this case.

>>60888838
>those stocks did very well.
right up until 1942 when gold mining was outlawed in the US because of the war, causing every gold mine in the country to close and shareholders to lose everything.

>>60888844
maybe if they deliver the metal with no problems, which I very much doubt in the case of the casino lights going out. I would expect every single legal and illegal impediment to get paid out free and clear.

but even in that case, it would seem to me you'd be better off just having physical possession due to the necessary revaluation that would occur

Some of the juniors may do a 20x+. Don Durrett & Francis Hunt talk about a junior that was unprofitable at $35, break even at $39 and expected to be wildly profitable at $50 silver. Durrett claims it's a sure thing 15x, and maybe it is.

I'm not interested because we're old enough that we will take a reduced upside in exchange for zero downside. The CEO of that company may be a great guy, or he may be a sociopath who paid Durrett $20k to pump his bags and pull a Bre-X Same thing for the Dolly Varden Jeet.

The company may be a great value with great ore bodies, but I am inherently untrusting of anyone who spends so much money on paid self promotion, let alone an Indian.

It's real, but it works OPPOSITE of the way most people think it does. They don't use it to preemptively catch criminals. They use it to GO AFTER people they don't like.

They also use it to identify associates of criminals and dissidents that they have already identified.

If you're an average NPC Joe, not doing anything too spicy, you're almost certainly below the noise floor. They don't care if you are doing the odd line or banging an escort.

If you start or are involved in a nationalist remigration advocacy group, expect a Palantir microscope up your digital colon, and any friends you have who regularly do stupid minor crimes will have a high probability to get rolled up and turned into Fed informants against you.

Back in 2022 the premiums on Eagles was astronomical, like $12 per coin. There were posters here saying to only buy the eagles because that premium would carry over. But if you ask yourself, are 2 eagles worth 4 generic?
I am not insinuating there are no advantages to state rounds, but the premiums alone are chewing up the profit potential. If the price of silver were to meaningfully run to 3 digits (or beyond) then the QUANTITY of silver will shine far out price the QUALITY.

Apparently you're retarded. A "51% attack" just means that if a single entity controls more than half of the hashrate, that entity can refuse to process some (or all) transactions by churning out blocks that don't contain them.

How can even people who are actively pro gold and silver unironically not understand what happened?

It isn’t the boomers fault retards.

They took us off the gold standard in 1971.

Sloooooowly and surely for the next 50 years it became less and less worth it each passing year and decade to work typical tough blue collar jobs and “make it.” And along the way Hispanics were slowly being plugged into these jobs left by whites or whites not wanting to do them when getting out of high school

1971
>workforce still basically 100% white. Be a roofer with 4 kids and a wife in a nice home in a thriving community

>1977 6 years off the gold standard.
Same thing as above essentially and probably 90% of what it was like in the 60’s. Almost everyone working trades is still white

>1985
15 years off gold standard. Probably running at 80% of pre 1971. Still pretty much easy to make it. But it’s making less sense. Workforce/trades is probably 7-8% Hispanic now. Barely noticeable.

>1990
Probably the inflection year. 20 years off the gold standard. Probably running at 65-70% capacity of pre-1971 wages probably 15% Hispanics now. Young whites aren’t going into these jobs anymore nearly as much.

>2000
It’s over by now. Probably 50/50 white/hispanic. Inflation has outpaced wages and you can’t work trades and easily make it like you could in the 60’s.

>2010 it’s really over.

>>60888782
You do you. As I said, I bought some myself, several times. I like them, and ideally I want MORE of them.
But with 100% of my spirit I feel it necessary to tell everyone that now is NOT the time to be spending double the premium on overpriced hold. The GSR is like 90-100:1??? So just buy Mercury dimes? The GSR is fundamentally going to COLLAPSE!
Paying premium on gold is NOT the play.

Damn this thread turned into goldback shills really quick. I will never buy goldbacks, because they are fucking worthless. They are like if fractional gold had fractional gold made for it. Fuck that. I will just buy fractional gold or bullion. People who collect goldbacks are cringeworthy as fuck

>>60888990
>It isn’t the boomers fault retards.
Yeah, it is. In a civilization there are key turning points. Boomers along with their partners in crime the Silent Generation, consistently voted for future gibs to be paid by their children and grandchildren. Literally ZERO concern for future deficits.

How do I know? Because I'm GenX who was part of the group that was SCREAMING in the 80s for fiscal responsibility as we watched the government run ever bigger deficits with zero intention of fiscal responsibilty. When you cornered a boomer or silent gen about the bill that was coming due, the majority of them would literally chuckle and say:
>I'll be long gone by the time that happens.

No better than a jeet who dumps a truckload of garbage into a river. It's someone elses problem now.

>>60889009
>Damn this thread turned into goldback shills really quick
I love Goldbacks but have no plans on buying more than a few collector specimens. No one is seriously suggesting one should stack Goldbacks. That's a misallocation of resources.

No one is even suggesting people should begin exclusively using Goldbacks, especially not when there is so much increasingly worthless fiat in circulation.

Aside from constitutional silver, (junk silver) there's no convient or readily usable form specie money aside from Goldbacks, and constitutional silver has it's own problemns, not the least of which is counterfeit junk silver from China.

>>60889078
>is there any anti counterfeit features (better and easier than PMs/fiat)?
PM coins are exceptionally hard to counterfeit in a way that will pass the specific gravity and ping tests, which gives you 99,999% accuracy for gold.

Anything as dense as gold has to be tungsten which fails the ping test or the "snip" test (picrel) Any other metal as dense as gold is more expensive, and few metals match gold's color.

Silver density CAN be spoofed, but it's not easy, but it will still fail the ping and magnetic slide tests. It's much less common for superfake silver coins. The counterfeit are usually brass or some other alloy plated.

Additionally, modern coins have anticounterfeiting features like the current Maples with the very fine engraving and the MapleDNA.

Silver and gold BARS on the other hand are much more risky for people who don't have experience. Be very careful about accepting a bar from an untrusted source.

This is because boomers KNEW social security was a PONZI scheme. Simple thought experiment. Say it takes 10 workers to support ONE retiree. Say average life expectancy is 78 years. By the time Boomer retires, the population of America needs to have TEN times the baby boom generation to support them for 13 years (78-65).

That ten times population when THEY turn 65 need their own TEN TIMES population to support them, rinse and repeat.

This is by definition exponential growth and can never last.

BTW, Canada's population growth (via Jeet importation) is exponential (3%) with a doubling time of 23 years. Here's the numbers for Canada.

>>60889120
>Any other metal as dense as gold is more expensive
Platinum is denser than gold and half the price, so could be alloyed with something less dense to get gold's density.

>>60889078
>is the 100% face premium due to the novel manufacture process?
Yes, manufacturing and (((profit))) but the high premium is an integral part of the face value. When you pay $7.02 (current price) for the Goldback, if you were to spend it at a store, the purchasing power is worth exactly $7.02 (assuming spot didn't change) The value of the Goldback varies with the current price of gold.

If gold goes up, the value of your Goldbacks increases. They have an online calculator for doing realtime transactions based on the up to the moment price of the Goldback. The current Goldback price is in the upper right hand corner.
https://www.goldback.com/calculator/

You're not buying a Goldback to melt down for the gold. https://youtu.be/LMCO9cdrVyk

You're buying it for the value added usablity of the gold money. Realistically, people are buying for esthetic and novelty reasons, although there are growing numbers of people and business that are using it as money, it's still just a niche market right now.

>>60889150
>Platinum is denser than gold and half the price
Touche! But platinum is extremely hard, extremely high melting point and white. It still would not pass either the ping or the snip test and you would need to alloy it with something to pass the density test.

I honestly don't think it's feasible to use platinum to make a counterfeit gold coin, but I concede, platinum is currently less than half the price of gold and could concievably be used to make super counterfeit gold coins that would pass the density test, but not the ping test.

I should point out that RARELY, real coins can fail the ping test due to internal crystal structure of the blank. It is extremely rare.

ok I see the 100% premium (vs spot) is for the value added via the fungability and recognition

i'm just saying it looks to me a person could produce them at home using consumer hardware for maybe +10-20% over spot.

using the same process, they could also produce high quality fakes. the high markup over spot and low cost to reproduce at home makes me wonder if they implemented extra security features

>>60889187
>I was speaking in reference to the goldbacks, which is basically laminated metallic glitter
It's not glitter, it's vacuum deposited gold film that goes through an iintaglio process where the image is embossed and printed so that if you look at the reverse side, you see the embossed image in reverse, but no ink. The front face is perfectly smooth from the laminated polyester layer, but the backside has the subtle texture of the embossing. Here's an image of the front and back of the Goldback.

The larger denominations are physically larger and heavier.

The gold content can be verified nondestructively via an XRF tester which I've personally done with my 5 Goldback note.

>>60889199
>i'm just saying it looks to me a person could produce them at home using consumer hardware for maybe +10-20% over spot.

I can think of some ways to reproduce them with the same technology you would use to counterfeit foiled mtg/pokemon cards (harder than it sounds, even making decent proxies is difficult). i think you could relatively easily replicate the mentioned features (except XRF test pass) i won't share the specifics in the thread.

I have the opportunity to buy 20 of pic related for $850 ($42.50 each). Not that I plan to, but it looks to resell for $~45-50 on eBay. Something to note is that there are tons of fakes being sold (and bought) on eBay for ~$20. Any strong opinions on this?

has anyone here redeemed a goldback for cash? I have some that I bought back when they were like $3 each and I have the opportunity to buy some for under the listed exchange rate. Unfortunately, I live in commiefornia so I can't use them in any official capacity

Not saying I'm planning on selling any time soon but let's say I wanted to buy like a $3500 car. Should I sell for cash or trade a gold coin directly to the seller for the car?

>>60889265
if you're planning to do it to resell on ebay, don't. The jews at ebay will take at least 10% and then Peter Thiel will take another 4%.

>>60889275
>Unfortunately, I live in commiefornia so I can't use them in any official capacity
Goldbacks are legal tender in Nevada, but I guarantee you that there are goldbugs in California would would give you current face value. I would personally buy them from you for 100% retail if I was there. It costs me over $30 minimum shipping to order them into Canada.

>>60889277
>Should I sell for cash or trade a gold coin directly to the seller for the car?
Dump the cash the devalues, keep the gold that appreciates.

Many NPCs wouldn't recognize what a gold coin is or what the real value is, and treat taking it like some kind of imposition.

>>60889279
Definitely not planning on reselling anytime in the near term, and most likely not online. I still need to figure out a good way to offload my stack whenever that time might come. I should probably just hold off and cope that spot price will drop as it breaks $100

In three years which will have more value- One oz of Gold of two oz of Platinum?

>>60889338
>One oz of Gold of two oz of Platinum?
Depends. If there's an economic crash, platinum, being 95% industrial goes down is price.

If there's war, platinum could spike in price as it's used to make perchlorate rocket fuel, and supplies from Russia will become unavailable.

Gold is the gold standard.

If you asked a different question, which will be worth more in a year or two, $3500 worth of gold, or $3500 worth of silver, based on historical patterns, silver will generate bigger returns.

You would need to sell the silver for gold when the ratio drops to 40-30:1. Current ratio today is 86:1.

Question about silver.
I saw the charts you guys posted here about the amount of silver mined in one year vs the industry demand and how it's actually in deficit (not counting the ambiguous amount in vault.)

If this is true, then how come silver coin and bar for individual people are still being made? Shouldn't the silver get allocated into industry instead?

>>60889360
>If this is true, then how come silver coin and bar for individual people are still being made?
The amount of silver that is refined and minted for investors is a drop in the bucket of total supply. If suddenly there was no supply for retail then alarms would be sounded. People would realize just how scarce it silver is and you'd have a run on the bullion banks. Naturally the bankers running the pricing scheme don't want this so they toss us some scraps to keep up appearances. But any real amount of retail demand comes in and the illusion will be ruined.

There was several years stockpile saved up since silver photography was at it's peak in 2000. They've been burning through that stockpile ever sinice. Solar panels are now the number one industrial use, but the new fast charge batteries for electric cars will eventually be taking the number one spot.

Silver gets allocated by whoever wants to buy it. Scarcity dictates price. If silver was 30 cents per pound we would use it for electrical wiring. Higher price incentivizes efficient usage and stimulates more production.
