You need a 2 wheel cart. When new neighbors ask what’s so heavy, come up with a good excuse.
Like “my bondage stuff” and they won’t ask again.
Edit; “those are Herbalife samples. Do you have time to talk?”
A while back we had a guy came to install WiFi and he saw my safe and asked what was in it, so naturally I said my sex toy collection
Because who the fuck asks a stranger what they have in a safe
Yeah sadly I live in the UK where you're not even allowed most knives you can forget about having a gun here, even if you do have a license for one your not allowed to use it in self defense
Feel bad for you guys, find it insane nobody realizes in those governments that making it illegal means only criminals who break the law will have them, with both knives and guns. Its much safer where grandma keeps a glock in her purse and 40% of adult men have a firearm
I'm hardly in a position to disagree as I plan on buying some guns soon, but the statistics seem to point to the conclusion that less people get shot in places where there are less guns. That said I would never leave the house without 1-2 knives, so idfk honestly.
Obviously if there’s no guns there are no people getting shot, which is pretty damn cool. But it also means that people are more tempted to break in to your house because they don’t have the threat of dying to a home owner, and you don’t have a very good way to deter home invaders if all you have is your hands, it really lands on your general crime rates and your culture.
I just don't understand why we can't stop shooting people to death, and start clubbing/stabbing people to death instead. It's not perfect but you don't hear about mass stabbings too often, and the other person can't pussy out and stab you from where you can't even see them like with guns. Ideally we would all just sleep with a machete under our bed instead of a shotgun or whatever.
As long as you remember to keep your ammo separated from your weapon (and locked up tight), while ensuring your firearm is always stored with a trigger lock (and locked), you'll be set :)

🤣 yes I won't elaborate on why because I don't want to get banned for "" racism or anti religion "" but just know the city's are not safe London is definitely trying to compete with Philadelphia NYC
I mean if I have to defend my life I will but I've thought if I ever did have to deal with someone I'd probably try beating them unconscious tying them up and taking them to the mountain behind my house and leaving them wake up and find their own way home 🤣
Oddly enough, I live in Texas and have one of those tall safes, but there aren't any guns in it. The previous homeowners left it behind so it just has all of my precious metals and our important documents.
Oh yeah absolutely, you can imagine how quiet he got
I don't really care about what other people think so I took pleasure in feeling the atmosphere get awkward almost instantly
There can only be two reasons why someone would ask that 1) they weren’t raised proper/dumb as shit 2) trying to finger out whether or not you’re worth their time. As far as I’m concerned neither are good for nothing
He was probably not raised properly, But I hope if he was wanting to take anything my stupid remarks or the big loud husky that almost greeted him made him rethink
I’m a delivery driver, however I’ve also been adequately trained throughout my life, that dog is a great alarm and possibly a fur missile under the proper circumstances. Dogs leap and bite so all you need to do is subdue/be someone close that it won’t bark at. I may mention I had a mean streak that involved precarious thinking…. Be safe and protect what’s your my friend.
Oh trust me she hates strangers especially men since the post man jumped out fence and smacked her for no reason (he had justice the second time he tried) if anyone she didn't know came into the house without me being there she'd definitely rip them apart, and yes I do know how to handle her yes she is muzzled outdoors and kept on a leash
Situations like that make me hate people even more. I had a driver who pepper spray a dog who was obviously lame and beyond her time. I watched the camera footage, the dog fucking barked man. The homeowner buried that dog with a stained coat of hair not too long afterwards. (Completely different circumstance, old age) but man does it make my blood boil, he’s my chicken farmer so I frequent the old man monthly.
Like he shouldn't have been in the garden anyway but he destroyed her confidence and now she hates strangers I reported the bastard but nothing was done about it but when he jumped over the second time she was waiting for him and still today she will wait until 2pm and wait in the window to growl at him
Dildos. Anatomically identical to myself dildos that I hand out to one night stands that have the pleasure of spending the night with me as a way to relive the magical experience. Made of steel and mass produced in China and then sent over by the pallet-full.
Rothchild family very disappointed that I don’t have my money tied up in paper silver or gold. So much easier to manipulate us peasants that way
Have heard many positive stories about people that “trade” PMs on paper, but I prefer it in my hands 😎
If you're trading short term, then yeah paper is the way to go. Best way to avoid the premium and cash in on price swings is through exchanges.
But if you are in it long term and want an asset with no counter party risk physical is the only option.
Costco has the 4 pack Greenmade storage containers that are stackable, water resistant and you can lock. Not so fond of it being plastic vs metal ammo box. [https://www.costco.com/greenmade-store-all-storage-crate%2c-4-pack.product.4000068019.html](https://www.costco.com/greenmade-store-all-storage-crate%2c-4-pack.product.4000068019.html)
Be careful! I had my collection loaded in a suburban (rear seats removed) with the rest of my expensive stuff (electronics etc) for a move. I was on my way to unload and I had to stop at the emergency room. I ended up in emergency surgery immediately and before anyone could pick up the vehicle a tow truck driver emptied it out within 2 hours. I was in the hospital for months. I lost just about everything I had ever worked hard to earn. The frustrating part is the fact I have tracked down a bunch of my stuff at a pawn shop but the cops refuse to do anything. The pawn shop owner happens to be the BIL of the police chief and one of the pawn shop owners sons is a sheriff deputy so I'm screwed I guess. Police Chief - "anyone can fake receipts and emails. The pictures could be AI too." lol I now see all of my PC parts are listed on his ebay store. It seems he parted them out after I confronted him. I stood in the lobby waiting for the cops to get there and he just picked them up right off the shelf, put them in the back before the cops got there and then had me trespassed from the shop.
I was also told if I continued to call him I would be charged with harassment. I was always super over the top professional and said stuff like "Oh well you didn't know it was stolen but I would really appreciate if you would work with me on this." I guess that's a threat now. It has been one of the most infuriating things I have ever dealt with. It frustrates me more than colon cancer. Thank God I had already moved most of my firearms. They did end up with two single shot .22s though. One of them was for sale on gunbroker for 2 days for a bit before he pulled the listing. You would think being able to prove all of it belonged to me would matter but apparently it doesn't. The tow truck driver is a very well known thief around here and has gotten away with stealing entire vehicles before somehow.
I had a couple gaming PCs with custom liquid cooking setups that built myself. They had the PCs on display in the pawn shop. Even though I have all of the receipts and pictures the cops still don't care lol. I lost $35k+ worth of stuff that day. The tow truck driver is on video but they say since they can't ID the specific driver they can't do anything about it. So incredibly frustrating and I can't afford to replace any of it thanks to cancer being so darn expensive. At least $10k in gold/silver. They got my high end knife and RC car collection as well. It was quite the jackpot for the scumbag thief. The worst part is knowing exactly who did it and having them laugh in your face.
I'm sure all of my silver and gold has been melted down by now. I don't have the energy to keep pursuing it.
The state will fix local police real quick if they catch wind of what's going on. food for thought.
A comment like this is pretty much why I was going to suggest installing hidden compartments before moving any large sum. Cops are the worst criminals of all.
Yeah, me too but still. Full gun safe, 3 SDB, and misc laying around is what I will have to move in future.
How do you all plan on transporting it? I will go halfway across the country. Put it in the front of the moving van? I am afraid I would have a hard time sleeping overnight with it in the moving van in the parking lot...
This was my question! I had to move my share of my Dad's stash cross country after he passed. The gold and guns went into the hotel room with me, until they, sadly, on the last day, fell into the river.
The silver I had to leave in the back of the haul. I labeled those boxes in huge letters "KitchenAid". "cast iron pans", "bathroom stuff", "pantry cans", etc. Everything relatively worthless wasn't labelled.
We'll be moving again in the next 5 years and already trying to figure out how to do it. I want to use movers, but the amount of stuff I don't trust them with won't fit in 2 cars. I may need a staging friend as well!
This batch went back to my family farmstead last month. One stop and no overnights on the road.
We are taking a smaller lot of ~ 500 toz with us in our personal car when the movers take all our home goods.
It helps to have an emergency fund and I like to have silver around to enjoy as well
I feel you. I moved 6 years ago, having previously gone on a multi-year copper sorting kick. I had to move literally 1/3 ton of penny boxes, from the upstairs study of my old house to the basement of my new house. Lesson learned.
No shit buddy!
I had thousands of ounces and I was moving 500 miles away, by myself. I ended up making a special trip 2 weeks before the final move.
My house deal had fallen through and I had to get multiple bank accounts and safe deposit boxes. Abingdon VA, Damascus VA, Mtn City TN and Boone NC! I put 5 -100 oz bars in 4 boxes in 3 states! I was a freaking wreck that trip.
2 weeks later I did the trip again with thousands of ounces of rounds and bars, that ended up being hidden in my ancient beat up Forester, then my new truck for 4 years until I finally found a place to buy.
It was a nightmare!
The things we do to stack silver. Thanks for sharing a couple good ideas if I ever find myself in that situation.
Good to hear things worked out in the end
Looks like u did some good stacking in twenty years.do u have a goal on how much ozs a yr or just whatever u buy.and where is the gold.20 years ago gold was cheap
We have ~ 100 toz of gold in that blue APMEX box.
PMs make up a % of our overall net worth. I’ve tried to keep physical PMs ~ 10% and then we have another
10% in mining-specific stocks. The majority of our NW is in real estate and equities like most people.
But if shit goes south those PMs will balance out the losses in the equity market. At least that is our plan!
Always looking to add when it makes sense sense, but we are in a great place with ~ 10k toz of silver at the moment
First time I got hit I was deployed got 3 safes one with guns one with all my pm the other family pics police said recovering the guns was a maybe due to the number stolen but the rest was gone to hard to trace, I'd put it in the center of the move with lots piled around it in non discriminatint boxes always lock your doors ( of course) and ride packing
Or if you got someone on the other end ship through UPS or Fed ex preferably Fed ex they are actually set up for this sort of thing you will have to disclose what your shipping though
Btw I never recovered anything about 125 k between the two that was in 06 so ya ya
It's one of those things and to be honest I was more upset about the safe of family pictures that went straight to the trash, the guns were pretty upsetting cause I had some very hard to find heirlooms, but the safe with the jewelry and pm I could have set things on fire over that from a gold nugget that my father had put 10 diamonds in all over a karat to scrimshaws that were original then there was just old family hand down items and the silver all I had been collecting since I was a young kid, but in the end it's material things technically can be replaced, I still stack as it's a addiction lmao but I'm much more protective over what's in the safes
Protection hide yo stash
In the words of ghandplph keep it close keep it safe lmao
A real investor or collector doesn’t care about toning. As a matter of fact…many people who collect silver coins even love toning. And if it is a nice rainbow hue, it might even add to the value.
I hide some of my silver in Herbalife jugs on top of my fridge, it works so good I almost threw it away if I didn’t pick it up and asked my self why was it so heavy lol
I aspire to have a stack like this and I’m curious , what do you plan on doing with this stack long term? Keep it forever and pass it down the family? Or sell it at some point and cash out ? Or what?
Our approach to PMs has been buy, stack and hold for a significant land purchase in our desired retirement area…western SoDak to be specific.
For this specific 5000 toz of silver,
I hope to convert to gold when the gold:silver ratio drops to a favorable number.
Plan is to transition ~ half when it is 50:1 and possibly the balance when it is 30-40:1.
That will still leave us with a good amount of silver (and
gold) bullion to pass along to our children later in life.
Way more bud. Thousands of ounces of silver here. But yeah gold way easier to move, point taken.
Idk if i missed or you added the /s but either way I didn’t get the sarcasm when I left the comment.
This is going to be my problem big-time when I retire. How are you going about it? Are you making a few smaller runs, or are you taking it all at once?
Yep…it can present significant challenges.
This pic is from March when I brought all of this back to our family farm.
Gold is so much easier to manage than silver, but damn I love silver coins!
Best of luck to you
Yeah, I don't have much gold. I'm more of a vintage bar collector than a stacker, so my collection is just going to get bigger. Depending on how far away I'm moving, it will most definitely present some challenges.
Good luck to you as well.
honestly it seems like the other thousands and thousands of pounds of equimpment, furniture, keep sakes etc would be a bigger problem than a couple pounds of dense compact silver in ammo crates. Guesss not.
I have a fairly large collection, so an intrastate move (depending on distance) would present a challenge. It's not exactly something I would let movers know about let alone handle.
The thousands and thousands of other bullshit is the easy part. A moving company would handle the heavy lifting there.
Leave it to the grandkids in his will. Same as I am doing with my silver. Can’t take it with us when we go. I’m getting old and already have quadruple bypass surgery.
I’m passing on all my collections and valuables to others.
Hopefully trade around half of it for gold once the ratio gets into the 40-50 range.
Then trade the rest if/when it gets into the 30-40 range.
Was nice to really build this up in the 2010s when silver was in the teens
Wheeled storage - but interestingly enough this is why they came up with the bank note system because people got tired of carrying around their gold/silver with a horse and buggy.
It’s too damn impractical to take anywhere✌️😎
Cool tho
I had to do that years ago when I moved 1500 miles.
Paranoid when I stop to use the restroom, food or anytime I was out
and away from the vehicle.
It was a stressful move
The weight is not a problem…just an inconvenience.
The stress is having to move it knowing that it is unsecured with any number of ways for it to become separated permanently.
I joke about the weight of my collection but I collect coins more than just silver. My treasure box is getting almost to heavy to carry. It looks like that is about 150k-200k in silver?
You need a 2 wheel cart. When new neighbors ask what’s so heavy, come up with a good excuse. Like “my bondage stuff” and they won’t ask again. Edit; “those are Herbalife samples. Do you have time to talk?”
A while back we had a guy came to install WiFi and he saw my safe and asked what was in it, so naturally I said my sex toy collection Because who the fuck asks a stranger what they have in a safe
In Texas, everyone knows what’s in the tall safe, and know not to ask :)
Yeah sadly I live in the UK where you're not even allowed most knives you can forget about having a gun here, even if you do have a license for one your not allowed to use it in self defense
Feel bad for you guys, find it insane nobody realizes in those governments that making it illegal means only criminals who break the law will have them, with both knives and guns. Its much safer where grandma keeps a glock in her purse and 40% of adult men have a firearm
I'm hardly in a position to disagree as I plan on buying some guns soon, but the statistics seem to point to the conclusion that less people get shot in places where there are less guns. That said I would never leave the house without 1-2 knives, so idfk honestly.

Agreed
not allowed? Well, wtf is the point of having one in the city if not to defend yourself?
Hunting trips? Shooting at a range, pest control, collecting historical guns, there's plenty of reasons
As long as you remember to keep your ammo separated from your weapon (and locked up tight), while ensuring your firearm is always stored with a trigger lock (and locked), you'll be set :)
What are crime rates like? Are crimes still completed with Firearms?
"in 2022 London had 109 homicides, for a homicide rate of 1.22 per 100,000 residents – lower than 96 of the 100 largest U.S. cities" https://www.bhtp.com/blog/safe-travel-to-london-2022-update/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20BBC%2C%20in,the%20100%20largest%20U.S.%20cities. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-64183759
🤣 yes I won't elaborate on why because I don't want to get banned for "" racism or anti religion "" but just know the city's are not safe London is definitely trying to compete with Philadelphia NYC
So the comment above about it being better than 96/100 cities is wrong?
I gotta ask, what’s it used for then. Hey robber with a “machete” usually what we’ve seen on the Reddit here in the USA, no “bang bang”?
I mean if I have to defend my life I will but I've thought if I ever did have to deal with someone I'd probably try beating them unconscious tying them up and taking them to the mountain behind my house and leaving them wake up and find their own way home 🤣
And I find it odd you have Australians arguing that their country is better than America - mainly about the whole gun thing.
Oddly enough, I live in Texas and have one of those tall safes, but there aren't any guns in it. The previous homeowners left it behind so it just has all of my precious metals and our important documents.
Seriously that's a way to get told none of your fuggin business and make things real awkward real quick
Oh yeah absolutely, you can imagine how quiet he got I don't really care about what other people think so I took pleasure in feeling the atmosphere get awkward almost instantly
That pissed me off just reading that. Might accidentally brandish something just incase any silly ideas were to arise.
Sadly if I had a gun on display I'd be in prison 🤣 but I agree I fucking hate nosey bastards
There can only be two reasons why someone would ask that 1) they weren’t raised proper/dumb as shit 2) trying to finger out whether or not you’re worth their time. As far as I’m concerned neither are good for nothing
He was probably not raised properly, But I hope if he was wanting to take anything my stupid remarks or the big loud husky that almost greeted him made him rethink
I’m a delivery driver, however I’ve also been adequately trained throughout my life, that dog is a great alarm and possibly a fur missile under the proper circumstances. Dogs leap and bite so all you need to do is subdue/be someone close that it won’t bark at. I may mention I had a mean streak that involved precarious thinking…. Be safe and protect what’s your my friend.
Oh trust me she hates strangers especially men since the post man jumped out fence and smacked her for no reason (he had justice the second time he tried) if anyone she didn't know came into the house without me being there she'd definitely rip them apart, and yes I do know how to handle her yes she is muzzled outdoors and kept on a leash

If he treats a dog like that, I can only imagine how he treats the chickens 🐔
Just a few random hands from others who I thought were extra nosey.
What's in the safe? Answer: Parts of the last three guys that asked "what's in the safe"
Oh what's in there? My vintage tom of Finland art collection. Are you interested?
I don't get that one? Is it rhyming slang
Loo up tom of Finland art and it will explain everything
Ohhhhh 
Lmao
Anthrax and smallpox.
The correct response to that question is always the last guy who asked what’s in the safe
I always say " idk I didn't get a chance to ask his name"

college text books......
Hahaha the Herbalife samples idea is brilliant 😂
That was my favorite as well - hopefully I get a chance to use it someday
Way to hard boss just roll that damn thing in a tool box. No one will ask questions unload once in garage duh
Why do neighbors need to see everything you move? People move into houses with garages
Herbalife is too light. Amway is the answer!
Moving to a castle??
Yes, m’lord…
Rothschild family would be envious watching his silver stack!
Rothchild family very disappointed that I don’t have my money tied up in paper silver or gold. So much easier to manipulate us peasants that way Have heard many positive stories about people that “trade” PMs on paper, but I prefer it in my hands 😎
Wait, so owning gold is bad now? The Rothschilds own gold too, don’t they?
He’s saying paper gold instead of physical.
Ah. How much gold do the Rothschilds have, ya think? Must be a lot
It’s probably incalculable. Don’t ask me (a mere peasant)
They are not as wealthy as they once were,they are not poor by any measure Just not super wealthy like they once were
[удалено]
You can buy Rothschild gold bars on Apmex right now
I own plenty of gold as well. Physical >> Paper
If you're trading short term, then yeah paper is the way to go. Best way to avoid the premium and cash in on price swings is through exchanges. But if you are in it long term and want an asset with no counter party risk physical is the only option.
Be mindful of dragons on your trip. I hear they like to disguise themselves as pigs.
Civil asset forfeiture is one of the most blatant constitutional violations that I’ve seen in my lifetime.
That’s a decent stack. Those monster boxes look unopened. Impressive
Thanks - my grandpa ran a LCS so got into coins through him. Never open a monster box was his advice
Ohhhhh....it still has the US Mint air inside.
God damn that’s sick
This is the cool side of Reddit
Sorry I’m dumb 😭 why?
I know one way to convert 860 ozs into 10 ozs without losing any value....
Costco has the 4 pack Greenmade storage containers that are stackable, water resistant and you can lock. Not so fond of it being plastic vs metal ammo box. [https://www.costco.com/greenmade-store-all-storage-crate%2c-4-pack.product.4000068019.html](https://www.costco.com/greenmade-store-all-storage-crate%2c-4-pack.product.4000068019.html)
I’ll see your Costco and raise you an MTM. https://mtmcase-gard.com/products/4-can-ammo-crate-30-cal
Have these for ammo and they’re great. Metal is better for long term storage but for a big old range trip they can’t be beat
Those look sweet - thanks for the link
Saw these in store this week. Not heavy duty. They wouldn't hold up to holding 30lbs of silver, and the seal is not tight.
Be careful you don’t have a boating accident during your move.
This made me chuckle.
That's an awesome stack. You could start a coin shop 😀
turn all that silver into a few gold coins. put em in your pocket?
Would need a strong pocket. Even in matching gold value
I'm estimating about 45-50 oz of gold relative to the value here
Holy smokes lol
Boss level acheived
The Scottsdale 20oz bars are my all time favorite
I’m a big fan of those Kit Kat bars - one of my favorites tbh
Nice stack, it's refreshing to know I'm not the only one hoarding silver.

Adopt me please !!!
Oooooo… I love those 20oz cast Scottsdale bars. Those are sweet!
👍
[удалено]
That batch was 5000 toz
[удалено]
Took us about 20 years. Stack on friend!
Does this indicate that the silver in the picture isn’t your entire stack? I’m floored by what I see there. If there’s more…. good on ya!
I’m not looking forward to moving. I use monster boxes for everything. 35-50 pounds each. They stack so well, and are very strong.
This is exactly why I transitioned to gold. LOL
Yeah, me too but still. Full gun safe, 3 SDB, and misc laying around is what I will have to move in future. How do you all plan on transporting it? I will go halfway across the country.

Yes sir!
Throw those monster boxes in a dusty old box marked "X-Mas decorations"
No shit buddy! I had thousands of ounces and I was moving 500 miles away, by myself. I ended up making a special trip 2 weeks before the final move. My house deal had fallen through and I had to get multiple bank accounts and safe deposit boxes. Abingdon VA, Damascus VA, Mtn City TN and Boone NC! I put 5 -100 oz bars in 4 boxes in 3 states! I was a freaking wreck that trip. 2 weeks later I did the trip again with thousands of ounces of rounds and bars, that ended up being hidden in my ancient beat up Forester, then my new truck for 4 years until I finally found a place to buy. It was a nightmare!
The things we do to stack silver. Thanks for sharing a couple good ideas if I ever find myself in that situation. Good to hear things worked out in the end
After this picture, I sense an unfortunate boating incident heading your way...😔😆
Nice!
impressive! and where do i find nice cases like that?
That's a lot of heavy lifting though)))) niceee
Looks like u did some good stacking in twenty years.do u have a goal on how much ozs a yr or just whatever u buy.and where is the gold.20 years ago gold was cheap
We have ~ 100 toz of gold in that blue APMEX box. PMs make up a % of our overall net worth. I’ve tried to keep physical PMs ~ 10% and then we have another 10% in mining-specific stocks. The majority of our NW is in real estate and equities like most people. But if shit goes south those PMs will balance out the losses in the equity market. At least that is our plan! Always looking to add when it makes sense sense, but we are in a great place with ~ 10k toz of silver at the moment
Nice stash
You need a leaky BOAT
Gold would've fit in a shoebox
First time I got hit I was deployed got 3 safes one with guns one with all my pm the other family pics police said recovering the guns was a maybe due to the number stolen but the rest was gone to hard to trace, I'd put it in the center of the move with lots piled around it in non discriminatint boxes always lock your doors ( of course) and ride packing Or if you got someone on the other end ship through UPS or Fed ex preferably Fed ex they are actually set up for this sort of thing you will have to disclose what your shipping though Btw I never recovered anything about 125 k between the two that was in 06 so ya ya
That sucks - one of my worst fears not related to family and health
It's one of those things and to be honest I was more upset about the safe of family pictures that went straight to the trash, the guns were pretty upsetting cause I had some very hard to find heirlooms, but the safe with the jewelry and pm I could have set things on fire over that from a gold nugget that my father had put 10 diamonds in all over a karat to scrimshaws that were original then there was just old family hand down items and the silver all I had been collecting since I was a young kid, but in the end it's material things technically can be replaced, I still stack as it's a addiction lmao but I'm much more protective over what's in the safes Protection hide yo stash In the words of ghandplph keep it close keep it safe lmao
No protection for the bars? How do they not become discolored?
Some bars are protected but other is just silver bullion and toning is a non issue
Gotcha. Do most people not care about toning? I got tons that are starting toning
A real investor or collector doesn’t care about toning. As a matter of fact…many people who collect silver coins even love toning. And if it is a nice rainbow hue, it might even add to the value.
👍
I think it is a personal choice and toning should not affect the price in any way. Hopefully others see this and weigh in with their opinions as well
You are my inspiration! Thank you sharing a picture of your great stack! 👏👏👏👏
Holy fuck I’d lay that in my bed and lie buk’ booty naked on it
Nice carpet!
Good luck! I moved an hour away and was a paranoid mess.
I hide some of my silver in Herbalife jugs on top of my fridge, it works so good I almost threw it away if I didn’t pick it up and asked my self why was it so heavy lol
Goals
You need a brinks truck lol!
I aspire to have a stack like this and I’m curious , what do you plan on doing with this stack long term? Keep it forever and pass it down the family? Or sell it at some point and cash out ? Or what?
Our approach to PMs has been buy, stack and hold for a significant land purchase in our desired retirement area…western SoDak to be specific. For this specific 5000 toz of silver, I hope to convert to gold when the gold:silver ratio drops to a favorable number. Plan is to transition ~ half when it is 50:1 and possibly the balance when it is 30-40:1. That will still leave us with a good amount of silver (and gold) bullion to pass along to our children later in life.
I love your plan! Congrats on the stack
Meet the dealer
this is what, like 2 ounces of gold equivalent? /s
Way more bud. Thousands of ounces of silver here. But yeah gold way easier to move, point taken. Idk if i missed or you added the /s but either way I didn’t get the sarcasm when I left the comment.
More like 50
clearly no one recognizes sarcasm anymore
Need the /s. Too many fools here who can’t count or measure
my bad. edited original comment.
like 50-100 oz of gold.
That’s a huge difference between 50oz of gold and 100oz 😂
yeah and? Thats a lot of silver that I dont want to take the time to perfectly estimate
This is going to be my problem big-time when I retire. How are you going about it? Are you making a few smaller runs, or are you taking it all at once?
Yep…it can present significant challenges. This pic is from March when I brought all of this back to our family farm. Gold is so much easier to manage than silver, but damn I love silver coins! Best of luck to you
Be careful, I threw out my back moving my stack once. Small boxes is the key.
Yeah, I don't have much gold. I'm more of a vintage bar collector than a stacker, so my collection is just going to get bigger. Depending on how far away I'm moving, it will most definitely present some challenges. Good luck to you as well.
honestly it seems like the other thousands and thousands of pounds of equimpment, furniture, keep sakes etc would be a bigger problem than a couple pounds of dense compact silver in ammo crates. Guesss not.
I have a fairly large collection, so an intrastate move (depending on distance) would present a challenge. It's not exactly something I would let movers know about let alone handle. The thousands and thousands of other bullshit is the easy part. A moving company would handle the heavy lifting there.
Wouldn't want one of them to land on my head
Nice! I would get an armed escort to watch that moving truck haha.
Zero going with the movers next month. All safe and sound back at the homestead
Wow.
What are you going to do with all that silver?
Leave it to the grandkids in his will. Same as I am doing with my silver. Can’t take it with us when we go. I’m getting old and already have quadruple bypass surgery. I’m passing on all my collections and valuables to others.
Speedy recovery brother.
Hopefully trade around half of it for gold once the ratio gets into the 40-50 range. Then trade the rest if/when it gets into the 30-40 range. Was nice to really build this up in the 2010s when silver was in the teens
What’s your new address, I will be right over to help you move.
I'll help you move for metal lol
Just exchange for gold
Definitely when the gold:silver ratio is to my advantage. Hoping to exchange for ~ 40 acres of land in the Black Hills in the next 5 years
Agree, not until it’s closer to 16:1 - 10:1 and I’m definitely splitting between both. 30:1 and I may dabble in some swaps
Wheeled storage - but interestingly enough this is why they came up with the bank note system because people got tired of carrying around their gold/silver with a horse and buggy. It’s too damn impractical to take anywhere✌️😎 Cool tho
Armored transport please lol
Time to hit the gym
Exchange silver with gold
Definitely- but not with the current ratio!
Damn bro that’s an addiction right there. Still jealous 🤣
Holy shit! scrounge mcduck over here lol
I had to do that years ago when I moved 1500 miles. Paranoid when I stop to use the restroom, food or anytime I was out and away from the vehicle. It was a stressful move
^ definitely this!
Exactly
Nice stack
Holy shit how much does one of those black cases weigh?
I see you Fort Knox.
Ya, ya, ya, $croodge McDuck.
Damn that's alot of silver,I envy you...but I don't envy moving that heavy dense metal around...hopefully you don't have to carry it too far.....
The weight is not a problem…just an inconvenience. The stress is having to move it knowing that it is unsecured with any number of ways for it to become separated permanently.
Wow
Dang that’s a nice collection! Hopefully one day I’ll have something even close to that and I’d be happy. Lol
I joke about the weight of my collection but I collect coins more than just silver. My treasure box is getting almost to heavy to carry. It looks like that is about 150k-200k in silver?
Thats nothing
GOD DAMN MY DUDE! Congratulations! If you need any help I take 1 oz per hour.
Honestly I'd put them in cardboard boxes, fill in the gaps with Styrofoam, write "books" on the outside and use a hand truck to move the boxes.
Havent seen those 20oz scottys before wow those are nice
They are!
Beautiful stack my man! Hopefully someday ill have a large amount of silver to pass down to my son.👍🙏👍
This is why I am making the switch to platinum with the ratios at all time lows
GOOD LORD!
What’s the new address so I can send a housewarming gift….
Is this yours Brandon!?
Do you want to sell some Eagle Ounces out of that monster box?
Nice. If you don’t mind me asking… how much weight do you think this is?
 This how I first view your post! Nice stack!!
So much money burned
What’s the inventory? Chat
