"It's Totally Crazy" Bullion Dealer Tells ALL About Gold & Silver​

Apr 5, 2026
Gold and silver markets are full of excitement right now… but not everything you hear in the precious metals space is grounded in reality.
Gold and silver are often seen as “safe haven” assets… but the reality is, ownership comes with risks that many people either overlook or simply don’t understand.
In this video, we break down the real risks of owning gold and silver — from storage and security to liquidity, premiums, and market psychology. If you’re stacking, investing, or thinking about buying precious metals, this is something you need to be aware of before you commit more capital.
We cover:
• The biggest risks most gold & silver investors ignore • Storage problems and security concerns • The challenge of buying and selling at the right price • Premiums, spreads, and hidden costs • Market volatility and emotional decision-making • Why “safe haven” doesn’t mean risk-free

You are aware that you can buy stuff with your silber, aren't you?
I just bought a full eight place sterling silver cutlery set with fifty ounces of silber.
Car repairs, country farmers market, I even asked my dentist. He replied; "I'll have to talk to my accountant."
Spot works OK for me.

This Bullion Reset Started Long Ago​

President Trump made news this morning with this cryptic Truth Social post calling for the "World's Most Powerful Reset."
What he meant by that vague deceleration is debatable, ranging from war-related negotiations to broader market contexts.
The silver and gold markets were slightly up for the week.
The spot silver price ended the week at $75.89 oz bid.
The spot gold price closed the week basically flat at $4748 oz bid.
The spot gold silver ratio fell slightly, still coiling to close this week at 62.
For those of you out there adding bullion reserves to your own personal balance sheets, be sure to check out SDBullion's deals page this weekend. There are good silver and gold at spot deals and low prices on platinum bars as well.
And as always, to you out there, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

BULLION DEALER REACTS TO RECENT GOLD REPATRIATION DEMAND! WARNS: THIS IS JUST THE START!​

Apr 12, 2026 #Gold #Silver #Confiscation
In this video my bullion dealer discusses the shocking news of a recent French gold repatriation demand. France sold all 129 tons of gold it had stored at the New York Federal Reserve, then rebuilt its position by buying from other European central banks. They booked a $15 billion capital gain in the process! Every ounce of Frances 2,437 tons of gold (the fourth largest national gold reserve in the world) is now held domestically. What does this mean for the rest of the world? Is this demand for gold by nations just the beginning? Watch as my coin shop dealer, Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop, discusses the history of European gold repatriation and helps gold and silver stackers buy and sell bullion in his coin shop. Listen as we discuss where the price of silver and gold are headed as bullion sellers swarm in his shop. These are unprecedented times requiring us to stack precious metals. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

DEALER SHOCKED BY GOLD SOLD TO CUSTOMER 32 YEARS AGO! Would He Give Same 10% Advice Today??​

Apr 15, 2026
In this video my bullion dealer buys back two 1-ounce gold Krugerrands he sold to a customer in 1994. A gold stacker forgot he had the gold coins locked away in his gun safe, but when he needed to pay his property tax, he found them! Now he's surprised to see that Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop is the same dealer who sold him the coins 32 years ago! Watch as the customer asks Tim if he would give the same advice on gold and silver as he would have in 1994. What will the spot price of silver and gold do this year with inflation rising, the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady, and war in the middle east continuing? Is another correction in the paper silver and gold markets going to happen or are new all-time record highs about to be broken again? These are unprecedented times requiring us to stack precious metals. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

Silver Establishment Warns of Another Coming SilverSqueeze​

Financial markets rallied this week after Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open" to commercial shipping vessels for the duration of a 10-day Lebanon ceasefire. Crude oil dropped more than 10% on the news.
Optimistic headlines aside, shipping vessel traffic data to end this week shows little to no ships have actually passed through the Strait.
Lower energy costs suggest it is more likely the fiat Fed will hold interest rates steady or start cutting rates, which means the fiat US dollar will weaken, and non-yielding assets like silver and gold bullion become more attractive to investors.
Silver and gold rallied on the week, with silver returning to trading above $80 oz for the first time in about a month.
The silver and gold markets were up on the week's peace-talk headlines.
The spot silver price ended the week at $80.79 oz bid.
The spot gold price closed the week at $4830 oz bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio fell again, closing this week at 59.

DEALER BATTLES OVER SILVER PRICE WITH CUSTOMER! IS SILVER SPOT HEADED FOR $50 OR $500 BY SUMMER?​

Apr 23, 2026 #Silver #SpotPrice #Prediction
In this video my bullion dealer battles it out with a customer who's selling his silver for a vacation. This longtime silver stacker is CONVINCED that silver is headed much higher--maybe even $300 to $500 an ounce by the end of summer! Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop disagrees and explains his rationale with those waiting in line to buy and sell silver and gold. Tim argues that the posted futures prices for silver and gold are NOT the true supply and demand spot price of precious metals and that the real problem is with the CFTC not properly regulating the actual price of physical silver and gold! Are you concerned about the wild volatility in the price of gold and silver? Do you believe the spot price for silver is headed much higher soon? Or will the geopolitical realities and middle east war send the price down even further? Listen as we discuss where the price of silver and gold are headed with bullion sellers and buyers in his shop. These are unprecedented times requiring us to stack precious metals. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

Why is China Buying Silver in Record Size Now?​

China apparently foresaw the ongoing trouble in the Middle East well ahead of time and built up its strategic crude oil inventories to levels currently larger than those of the USA, Japan, and the broader European Union combined.
Leading to the most important precious metals-related news of this week.
Why is China now buying and importing silver in quantities never before seen?

DEALER ASKED WHAT SILVER & GOLD WILL DO NOW? AND HE GOES OFF THE RAILS!​

Apr 27, 2026 #Stagflation #Silver #Gold
In this video I ask my bullion dealer what stagflation will do to the price of gold and silver. I explain what stagflation is--economic stagnation and inflation, and I ask Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop how likely stagflation this year is. His answer quickly went to the Iran war and how important it was that the Trump administration ends the conflict soon! Each time I try to bring it back to gold, silver, and stagflation, Tim connects the current economic challenges to the middle east conflict and manipulated futures markets by hedge funds. Are we about to end the conflict with Iran soon? Is stagflation around the corner? What will a new Federal Reserve Chair do with interest rates and how will that change affect the price of silver and gold? These are unprecedented times requiring us to stack precious metals. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

Return of Global Gold Reserves & Silver's Repricing

"If the world is breaking up into blocs again, then this chart is going back to where it traded the last time the world was broken into blocs. Gold is still one of the cheapest assets on the board - would need to rise 2-3Xs to mean revert."
Deutsche Bank Research's free report entitled "The return of history: gold, the dollar, and the monetary future" is linked in the show notes below, and we'll go through a few highlights to start this week's Bullion Market Update.
The silver and gold markets were slightly down on the week.
The spot silver price ended the week at $75.35 oz bid.
The spot gold price closed the week at $4,614 oz bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio continues to coil, closing this week at 61.
Gold's 200-day moving average continues to climb, now closing in on $4,260 oz.
Big picture and bottom line, I'm staying heavy long bullion in this trend still unfolding.

BULLION DEALER WARNS OF COLLAPSE! IS HE *RIGHT* ABOUT THE US DOLLAR??​


May 2, 2026 #Confiscation #Silver #Gold
My bullion dealer reacts to a compelling chart showing the massive increase in the US money supply (M2), the destruction of our dollar's purchasing power through inflation (CPI), and incredible rise in the price of gold over roughly 30 years. I share my long-term gold and silver stacking thesis with Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop, and we hear what he thinks might happen to US banks and the dollar if inflation continues. And one bold gold and silver stacker in the coin shop voices his disagreement with Tim and his approval of my thesis on why we should stack precious metals! Who's right?! Are we about to go through a stagflation? Spot prices for silver and gold have dipped recently, but what is likely to happen next? Is the metals bull run over, or is it just getting started ahead of the next banking crisis? These are economically frightening times requiring us to stack precious metals! Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

SILVER COIN STOPS STUNNED DEALER IN HIS TRACKS!​

May 6, 2026
A single silver coin stops my stunned dealer in his tracks! During a routine appraisal, Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop finds some silver that makes him ask the customer if he really has the coin--a rare 1928 Peace Dollar. Watch as a new customer comes into Tim's shop to have him price out his late uncle's coin collection. Ten anxious heirs are waiting to see if there are any high-value silver, gold, or currency left behind in his stack. And everyone is shocked when Tim finds a few rare items! Listen to hear how much they're all worth in this surprising video! These are economically frightening times requiring us to stack precious metals! Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

SILVER COIN STOPS STUNNED DEALER IN HIS TRACKS!
 
My.aunt had a 1928 Peace dollar she used to keep in a dish with some other coins. They were sitting right on top of her livingroom cabinet along with papers.

I was a kid at the time and if.memory is good it was an XF worth about $25 or $30. That was a lot of money back then when gas was 50 cents.

Tim is retiring. Good for him I am right behind. He is also looking for the next new high to cash out.
 
I am loʻking for $150 + GSR < 40. Ag will go higher over the next few years, but I am not getting any younger.
 
That's backwards. Countries are killing our bonds by selling them. Its the FED that controls jack shit and is in trouble.

Governments are Going Broke, Own Bullion in Size​

A rather volatile up and down week for the precious metals. The silver and gold markets were up and then down on the week's trading.
The spot silver price fell to close at $75.93 oz bid. The spot gold price climbed $100, closing this week at $4,540 oz bid.
The spot gold silver ratio swung wildly down to as low as 52, then climbed to a closing this week of 59.
That will be all for this week's bullion market update.

SILVER DEALER REVEALS WHAT HE DISCOVERED! "They Can't Keep This Charade Up!"​

May 18, 2026 #Silver #SilverDeficit #Gold
In this video my silver dealer reveals what he discovered about silver supply and a silver deficit. Does Tim Marschner of the Coin & Stamp Shop think this is affecting the price of retail silver? Does Tim think you should WAIT to buy more silver and gold? Watch as gold and silver buyers come into his store to buy bullion! Is Tim about to close his coin shop? And why are people selling their silver in droves? It's still crazy in the coin shop as my bullion dealer is becoming the "buyer of last resort!" And watch to the END to see what kind of American Silver Eagle I purchase from Tim. These are unprecedented times requiring us to stack precious metals.
