Poll of the Day > Every size of silver bullion I own

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://imgur.com/q5Wh5aJ

1 kilogram
10 ounces troy
5 ozt
1ozt
.10zt
1 gram ozt

This alone accounts for 48.282ozt at a value of $860.87 at the current spot price of 17.83

I don't really think acting like that is necessary.

I was just talking to a friend about this, and so the topic was on my brain. I do not make these threads to brag, nor am I really a serious silver investor. However it interests me, and if other people were to get interested and learn from something I have to say, I think that would be cool.

Nobody wants to be these people:

I've always cared.

It's really shitty of him to try and shit on someones hobby, though.

How much was that 10oz silver bar worth? I'm wondering how much money those people gave up.

NO ONE CARES.

holy shit

I care

So, do I just like, go to my bank and say, "Can I get a thousand 1's", or do I have to call beforehand.

Probably not going to get a thousand out, it was an exaggeration.

It's Silvertown. Their stuff always looks like shit, but its typically the cheapest you can get if you just care about weight.

Anyway, here is part of my stack.

Only around 120 oz there. The rest is locked away.

Cool. I only have 2 silver quarters.

Looks like it's time to make silver soup

I feel that someone that needs to constantly tell others no one cares online, doesn't feel cared about.

Zang, I'm praying for you.

I rarely go into banks asking for large amounts of bills, since I am lucky enough my bank ATMs will let you withdraw one dollar bills(depending on the machine, either 40 or 195 at a time). So that is how I do it.

A bank should be able to accommodate your request, though I am not sure. Calling beforehand and being nice could work. I'm not sure. I feel like it shouldnt be a problem but I can't say.

What you also need is a "dump bank" where you take your money and deposit it when it is done. Again, my ATMs let me deposit paper money in them so I don't need to go inside to do this. You need a dump bank for a couple reasons, namely you dont want to risk getting the same bills back in the future, and your tellers would get annoyed and likely refuse to give you so many ones if they knew you were just going to bring them back in a couple of days.

All that to consider. For me, like I said, my bank ATMs allow me to do this. As far as going inside I am not too experienced.

Yeah. I am not sure why it discolored like that, not really knowing much about the properties of Ag, but yes it is Silvertowne, and yes I bought it because it was the cheapest kilo bar I could find. Not that I take this investing too seriously(but taking too casually is a mistake even if I don't have that much invested) but to me silver is silver. I could have spent like $20-50 more on the kilo to get something nicer, but I didn't see a point.

another thing to note, helly, is that hunting through one dollar bills will not make you rich, and you very well could go through a thousand bills and find absolutely nothing interesting.

However as I've mentioned in the past it is a free hobby, and you never lose money. So part of the appeal is how you could find something worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars but those things are exceedingly rare, another part is the fact it costs nothing.

I save every dollar bill series 2003A and before. You might not want to do this because, truthfully, there is no premium on series 2003A and I suspect in a hundred years they would still be worth a dollar. For me, thats when one dollar bills start to become scarce(2003A and prior) and it makes the hunts a little more interesting knowing I am almost gauranteed to find something every time I get out a large quantity.

Thats pretty cool. I like that image. I don't have that much tabulating coins and bullion but its nearing 100oz as we speak.

Did you pay $800 for the silver?

Nice, keep stacking. I've been on a freeze since like... July. I really only buy silver when its 13-15.25 an oz.

I miss the days of $10.42 oz silver back in 2006. Back then I bought 250 oz worth of silver and sold it for $40 an oz back in April 2011. I've been dormant on the whole silver trade until this year, and have been building up my supplies.

I sware, Zang is the most annoying poster I have ever seen on this board and i have seen A LOT of stupid troll posters.

---

It's rich for Zang to act like this when he's been using gamefaqs as his blog for years. No one cares about your life either, bro, but it's a message board and that's what we do here.

---

Eh, Jen has been blogfaqing for years. But at least sometimes its amusing.

Ignoring that image for a second, lets go into my Ag spreadsheet. It has not been updated with a few odds and ends(when I get my newest addition, a 5ozt silver bar I will go through an audit everything) but as of right now:

so here are my totals with a spot price of 17.83

bullion(such as pictured above. bars/coins/ingots/whatever not created by a gov't mint and has no stated face value)

81.282 ozt
1,316.54 PAID
1,449.46 VALUE
+$132.92 NET

Coins(such as american quarters, dimes, nickels, silver eagles, half dollars, and a canadian dime all with silver content)

13.5202ozt
$10.80 PAID
$241.065 VALUE
230.265 NET

combined totals

94.802 ozt
1690.33 VALUE
362.99 NET

So, I am ahead by 363 dollars based on todays spot price. What really is keeping me ahead are the coins I either find for free or find for face value, and then gifts ive been given. The bullion I have bought I am ahead but ever so slightly.

This is how it is done, folks. I can only hope to be this lucky.

I got a hoarde of these cubes, see

chicken and beef for thee

That's cool, I didn't expect it to look like that big ol' dirty kilo bar

---

I dont know why it discolored like that, though as pointed out silvertown is a budget mint, generally their prices are slightly cheaper than other budget bars, but a tad more than "random used bar" listings. Once I saw those spots going purple I decided to store it in a zip loc bag. I have smaller silver ingots that have tarnished and turned slightly orange, but once I got capsules for them the one hasnt gotten worse and none of the ones that did not tarnish started to.

Oh, for sure.

My favorite ones are where he made a bunch of topics about failing financially and being hella in debt, but if someone brought them up he always vehemently denied it like he didn't make 17 topics about it.

https://www.jmbullion.com/1-oz-pamp-suisse-lunar-dog-silver-bar/

Very nice package and presentation, but thats $35 for an ounce, when I can buy this and call it a day

https://www.jmbullion.com/1-oz-silvertowne-silver-bar/

However, my theory is buy the cheapest brand new bullion(so i tend to avoid the slightly cheaper listings for "random design used bar) you can find. If there is a benefit to buying that Pamp Suisse I'd be interested in hearing it. I know selling back the PS bar there might be a bit of a higher premium because its so nice in package, but I dont know if its worth it.

id be mad too tbh

If you're happy about your silver then that's cool, I guess.
Do what makes you happy.
You're not hurting anyone.

Why is this necessary?

He's hostile most the time. At least this time the mods slapped his wrists. I've no idea why he's mad in life but it shows on here a lot.

I spent another two hours or so making my spreadsheet look good

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QO-Xb3FctCVKDATSRh9Jw4Dcu-_sz5E969X_9-bGecw/edit?usp=sharing

with a spot of $17.83

I have 100.05 troy ounces of silver split between things I have bought, found for face value, found for free, and gifts I have been given.

value: $1,783.99
cost: $1,310.11
net: $473.88
total pieces: 105

Mainly other than adding stuff I've found or bought, I massively expanded my order history to note date of purchase and the net cost on the order. The 10 ounce bar was a good ijnvestment at +$29, and the kilogram bar, despite paying like $40 in tax on it, was also a worthy investment as of today's spot with +$25 I also want to mark spot price of order and net at time of order, too, when I look up the spot prices later.
