I started adding to my silver stack again. Thought I'd look and sure enough, we have a Hive community for that! So this is my first post in this community. Hello Hive #SilverGoldStackers!
Each crypto bull run I try and take some crypto gains and buy a little silver. With the price of silver on the rise, I thought I'd look at prices and see what's available on eBay.
For my first silver purchase of 2024 I decided on a ten pack of Valcambi Silver 1 gram bars. They were more of an impulse buy. I did like the price though, so I went ahead and ordered them. It doesn't look like the price of silver is coming down anytime soon, so why not?
These generally come in a 10 gram bar that breaks apart. I just wanted to see what they were like. If I order these again, I'll order them in the 100 gram break apart bar.
I gram of 999,0 fine silver is about the size of my finger nail.
I hope to never have to sell my silver. I don' have a lot but I have stacked a little over the years. Most of my purchases were around the $16 an ounce range. Most of my bars are 1 ounce up to maybe a 10 ounce bar. I'll post some of those in the future.
I may focus on smaller weights this run. I'm looking into mercury dimes, 1 gram x 100 bars, 5 gram bars and other weights.
It's the wanna be prepper in me. If there ever is any type of financial collapse, having some smaller weight bars would come in handy for trade. On top of that, my silver is exactly that, a simple store of value that can be counted on in the event an emergency arises. I've also been stacking scrap pieces I find at garage sales and flea markets.
I'll try and get some more silver pieces posted soon. Most of my collection is boring bars and rounds, but I do have a few unique pieces, I'm looking forward to sharing!
Keep on stacking!
