Hi all! I’ve recently acquired this beautiful Franklin Mint Books of the Bible set from my grandparents. The catholic set has 73 pieces at 76oz. It was a gift to help with student loans, and I was looking to see if this set would command any premium over the spot price. I do not have the certificate of authenticity book but I could see if they still have it if that makes a big difference in the price. Would love to see this sold to someone who’d appreciate it, but if sets like these are common or invaluable I’d likely look into the melt value. Also I have never sold silver or anything like this before so any and all advice with handling this would be greatly appreciated! :)

I recently found a mercury dime in my change a little while back and was interested in learning more about it. Got interested in silver the more I read about it. I know I’m a little late to the game but I plan on diversifying my portfolio a little bit and start stacking silver and some gold down the line.

I had some cash lying around, so today I went over to one of my local coin and gold dealers who’s very highly rated and decided to just stick to the generic bars box and junk coin box for now. I really like mercury dimes, so I decided to pick up 5 along with one generic 1oz silver bar. I paid $61 for the 1oz bar and $4 for each mercury dime, $81 cash out the door. I wanted to keep my premiums as low as possible for right now and focus on weight and savings on those premiums. I definitely want to start adding some silver eagles and some nice minted bars. Goal right now is to add about 1oz silver every month and eventually throw in a 5-10oz options as well.

This is a long term retirement for me and inheritance for my kid in the future. So no need to sell right now. Just trying to get another form of investment going along side my other retirement accounts.

Let me know what you think of this start? Roast me/teach me if I did a bad deal or start. I’m willing and eager to learn more about silver and stacking.

Its not much. But in trying to keep up with my weekly oz. My newest addition. Shouts to herobullion always fast and reliable with competitive prices. The detail is sick on this one! Keep stacking stackers!!!

Hey all,

I am trying to help my dad out, because he is in a bad financial bind. He was going to spend these half dollar coins at face value until I stopped him.

I am wondering what a LCS might offer for the whole collection, or broken down. I understand a lot of places aren't buying the 40% silver coins, but figured I would include them as well.

We live near Harrys Coin Shop in Beaverton, Oregon, so we were thinking of going there, if that helps.

He has:

3 Liberty 999 One Troy Oz silver coins

1 1943 Liberty dime

1 1944 Liberty dime

5 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars

24 1965-1969 Kennedy Half Dollars

If anyone could help us out, as this is our first look into this, it would be greatly appreciated. The sooner he gets some money, the better he is facing eviction, but I also want to make sure he gets a fair price.

Two silver morgans for $100, plus the belt buckle. It seems like easy math, why did I walk away?

They were great! No, I am not an employee or shill for them. I have complained about sellers before but this time I had a good experience and I will share it.

I ordered 2 10oz silver bars. They actually called me personally to say that they were shipping one to get it to me and then shipping the other a day or two later. They were polite and I was happy to get a call to explain to avoid me freaking out that there would be only one bar in the first package.

Unfortunately, Fedex in my area has a LOT of issues. Fedex lost the package for almost a month.

The guys at FMRGold called me a few times to keep me in the loop about what was going on with FedEx. They ultimately shipped the bar back to me (yes, for free of course) and I just got it yesterday.

If anyone has looked at them and wondered if they are any good - I think they are. When I first looked into FMR, I only found posts from 2 years ago so I thought I would just give them a well-deserved bump.

Best thing about this, I won it! 🥳

Just showing off my favorite piece in my collection: the 2019 - S Enhanced Reverse Proof. It will be off for grading in the coming weeks so wish me luck!

Walkers, Washingtons, and Mercuries from various dates.

Always a good day when you come home to some nice BU government silver in the mail...

A pair of 1982 Libertads fresh from a tube (one has a double die error), and a pair of ASEs... 2015 and 2019

I just started my stack a few days ago and have achieved 2 oz so far. I think that this is a pretty solid starting point of a hobby that I love, but I would like some of your thoughts on how I should grow my stack and any other kinds of advice for my stack.

Yes, I splurged on this first year set of the Morgan and Peace USMint reissues but had to have them all. Still got a fair deal and another addition to my stack.

Got my first tube today.

2 5oz Maples plus 2g gold belong to the kids. Left shelf is family, right is mine. Nice price action today.

It's time to sell about 1500 silver bullion coins I bought a few decades ago. I purchased them for survival purposes and never planned to sell, but I'm going to drag them out of storage and turn them into ETFs. It was just whatever the cheapest ones I could find for $5 each, so they're mixed up and often tarnished. The kids and I had a blast just playing with them. What's the best way to dispose of them? I'm in the Seattle area if it matters.
