DEALER'S SURPRISING SILVER AT SPOT! (Not what you think)​

Jul 20, 2025
In this video my bullion dealer shares an amazing silver target to stack at SPOT! This cheap silver may be the best prepping silver to buy now! And you probably don't know it! Stacking recognizable silver that is easy for people to trust, buying fractional silver at low premiums, and stacking silver with low wear are great stacking criterium for a prepper stacker interested in silver barter. Tim also sells gold to a visitor to his coin shop from New York, while I go upstairs to find the silver for him to show. Watch as Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop surprises me by offering these silver proof sets at spot! This is an unprecedented time to buy 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'S SURPRISING SILVER AT SPOT! (Not what you think)
 
Boy look at these prices. It seems somehow all my predictions are coming true. "Actually they are the predictions of others, I just agreed with most of them". Gold of course is going nutso like gold does. Never a "bad" time to buy. Ive spoken often of my time under arms in the 3rd world where the yellow metal IS the family's Bank since the people in these places dont trust their real banks and the fiat currency aint worthy of wiping your ass with anyways.

But my prediction on silver is coming true. https://www.bullionbypost.com/silver-price/live-silver-price/ Bumps in the road maybe but the march to $40 and then $50 silver is assured. My reason being the importance of the white metal in advanced technology. I may know squat about PM's and economics but I know a whole lot about military technology, which is simply a reflection of civilian/consumer technology.

And brothers in the last year or so the lot of us sure blew up a lot of silver in missilery alone. 30 years ago smart munitions were about 1% of delivered munitions and today the opening days and weeks of a hyper-war would be made up entirely of smart munitions, blowing up ton after ton of silver inside them. And this is just the beginning. A.I., radars, jet engines, medicine, batterys, auto's, 3D printing, alternative energy, robotics, anything electric, the list is endless. A new electric submarine uses tons of silver in its construction, more in its electronic systems, more in its torpedos. Silvers future is assured and its in its 5'th year of demand outstripping production.

I worked in a recycle business for awhile and they gobbled up silver with both hands. I only wish I could buy more.

US Dollar Gold Silver Devaluation Data is This Bad​

Gold and silver spot prices experienced declines this week, as rumors of progress in U.S. trade negotiations with key partners, such as Japan and the EU, apparently led to spot price selloffs.
President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell also took a tour of the new Federal Reserve building construction, which led to this awkward brief press conference.
The spot silver and gold markets fluctuated this week, initially rising and then falling.
The spot silver price made a run at $39.50 per ounce only to sell off today, sharply closing the week at $38.17 per ounce bid.
The spot gold price experienced a $100-an-ounce selloff over the last few days of trading, closing the week at $3,338 per ounce bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio fell, then rose to close again at 87.
This week's update provides an overview of the big picture for gold and silver bullion, past and to come.
That will be all for this week's SD Bullion Market Update. And as always, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

DEALER'S SHOCKING GOLD TO SILVER RATIO (GSR) PREDICTION! 📉 Is it about to RADICALLY DROP??​

Jul 30, 2025 #Silver #Gold #GSR
In this video excerpt with my bullion dealer, we discuss the price of silver and gold and the possibility of the Gold to Silver Ratio (GSR) radically dropping. Does Tim think that both gold and silver spot price will be revalued? Are the hedge funds artificially propping up the price of precious metals? Why is the GSR so high, and does he think that silver will stay around $38 an ounce? Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop joins me in studio and shares his perspective on gold and silver. Do YOU agree with Tim that the gold to silver ratio is too high? Do you see the spot price of gold dropping to just $2,000 an ounce? And what precious metals are YOU buying right now?


8:02
 
If anything the G/S% has just got higher up to 88 and despite the recent dip "and BTW I bought" its hard to picture a world with $2,000 gold. If I had the ready cash I would have bought gold today at its lowest dip but the most I could manage was silver, and a lot of it.

Even more today as I chase the dips. I now include 90% junk quarters and halves every time I buy because I think this is the "preppers" money. I'd say I aim for 10% of my stack to be preppers money.

Grok AI Tries to Underreport Real Price Inflation, Gold is Not Having It​

Silver Gold Hit by More Tariff Price Volatility
The silver and gold markets were a mixed bag this week, with gold closing strong today.
The spot silver price ended at $ 37.00 per ounce bid.
The spot gold price closed at $ 3,362 per ounce bid.
The spot Gold-Silver Ratio climbed as gold's relative strength over silver ended the week at 90.
The most effective way to track actual price inflation over the long term is by incorporating historical gold price data into your calculations.
You can visit www.SDBullion.com/gold-price-history
Down the page, you can even find gold prices by trading day from 1968 through 2023.
So instead of being lied to about inflation or letting other people say things that are flat out inaccurate, to the tune of 13% accuracy.
I'm looking at you: Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Whatever this poor man's name or story was, I am pretty sure he would appreciate us setting the record straight now in 2025 and beyond.
That will be all for this week's SD Bullion Market Update. And as always, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

Record Gold Futures Price $3,533 oz Illustrates How Easily Gold Can be Manipulated Up or Down​

Premiered 7 hours ago
A confluence of contributing factors this week exhibited what an ongoing joke our gold price discovery markets continue to be.
Take a look at how, over the past 48 hours, the US gold futures price hit a record high of $3,533/oz this week, on Thursday, late in the day.
What led to this?
Both silver and gold prices rose this week.
The spot silver price closed at $38.37 per ounce bid, and the spot gold price (mostly ignored the Swiss Gold Tariff misinformation yesterday) finished the week just under $3,400 per ounce.
The spot gold-silver ratio ended the week at 88.
We have US 90% silver coins at spot this weekend, as well as nice deals on ASEs, fractional gold, and other precious metals products. Get yours while bullion market premiums remain thin. www.SDBullion.com/deals
Finally, to close, about 3 weeks ago I drove out to SDBullion headquarters to meet up with company Founder Tyler Wall.
We had an over 1-hour conversation beginning with a first-half look back and present-day assessment, and then in the latter half, we dug into data and long-term price charts in the pursuit of preparing ourselves for where this building worldwide bullion bull market is likely to go.
I'll leave a link to our over 1-hour conversation recorded in mid-July 2025: • SD Podcast: Can Silver Hit New Highs? Jame...
You'll want to check that deep-dive out.
That will be all for this week's SD Bullion Market Update. And as always, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

The spot price of gold does not directly affect most westerners because they simply do not hold a lot of bullion. They are living paycheck to paycheck and do not compare prices in terms of gold. Many do not even know how or what bullion to purchase. One day when they wake up they will look at their jewelry and think they are rich. My wife says I have no empathy for anybody. Is she right?

NO COIN SHOPS LEFT? DEALER'S HARD WARNING ON SELLING SILVER & GOLD! (Forced to take Stablecoins??)​

Aug 9, 2025 #Silver #Gold #Stablecoins
In this video I share the MOST ASKED QUESTION in 2025 with my bullion dealer: How will we sell our silver and gold if the spot price spikes up and there aren't any coin shop dealers to sell our precious metals to? Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop explains what will happen if more coin shops close their doors and refuse to buy bullion--and he gives it about five years! Will online bullion dealers have to start acting like local coin shops? Will banks resume buying back precious metals? Will the government encourage--or even FORCE--us to exchange our silver and gold for stablecoins? Are they a trojan horse? Watch as one stacker also sells his silver due to divorce! 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!

No Ukrainian Ceasefire, FT Gold Squeeze, India CNBC: James Anderson​

This afternoon, the USA, with President Donald Trump, and Russia with President Vladimir Putin, held a summit in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss a potential end to the Russia-Ukraine war. No dice.
Silver and gold prices were a mix of flat to slightly down in prices this week.
The spot silver price closed at $37.97 oz bid, and the spot gold price ended the week at $3,336 oz bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio ended the week down slightly at 87.
This past Tuesday morning, I spoke with Manisha Gupta of CNBC TV18 in India for about 16 minutes.
It's a fairly wide-ranging discussion of gold and silver, not merely in the short term but also in the longer term.
The best tactic in precious metals is buying and holding with a long view, and not trading in and or out all too often, for in the short term, we can only guess where the markets might swing.
Towards the end of the segment, I made sure to remind Indian investors out there to go out, buy, and own the real things outright. Starting and establishing an ongoing bullion position is the best general route for most investors in my experience.

JPowell inspired me to add just a bit today. Ended up with a few 90% Quarters for Under Spot thanks to the spike today. Got a few bucks for 27x. Not bad. I don't think he had a bunch of coin silver left. There are some nice Uncirculated looking newer coins in the bag.

DEALER'S WARNING OVER CRITICAL SILVER! Massive $40 an ounce level reached​

Sep 1, 2025
In this video I talk with my gold and silver bullion dealer about the U.S. Geological Survey’s decision to add silver to its draft “critical minerals” list. Is this potential move by the US Department of Interior really significant? Will the government view silver as a strategic metal raise the price of silver dramatically? Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop reveals his insights into the spot price of silver and what is likely to happen as its spot price nears $40 an ounce. Does Tim buy the hype around this USGS report on silver? Or does he still think BASEL III is a bigger potential impact? Watch as one stacker buys silver, with the urging of his wife, due to the fear over the dollar!

DEALER'S WARNING OVER CRITICAL SILVER! Massive $40 an

$3,600 oz Gold is Now || Why is this Happening?!​

We clipped $3,600 oz gold spot today, late this afternoon. This morning's US jobs report came in low and well under anticipated figures; it was fiat dollar weakness that helped spur levered derivative silver algorithmic buying, surely.
The recent jobs report in Canada was even worse, while fiat Canadian dollar silver is not butting on the line of the seemingly ancient scapegoated Hunt Brothers' nominal record price high of 1980. Not long from now, an all-time breakout up north cometh.
The spot silver and gold markets were strong again this week.
The spot gold price led the charge with a convincing close at $3,590 oz bid.
The spot silver price closed just under $41 oz bid, while the spot gold silver ratio is still at a historically high level at 87. Silver has lots of catch-up fuel in the tank, in other words.
The fiat US dollar silver price cup chart formation is forming. Whether or not we break silver's old, ancient nominal price high of $50 oz this year or in the years that come is not in much doubt now.
What is surprising is just how under the radar silver is doing this at the moment. With so many reasons as to why it will likely perform multiples in real value terms in the years and decade ahead.
Take advantage of silver and gold bullion deals this weekend, visit SDBullion.com/deals for 1 oz silver rounds at spot, American Gold Eagle coins only $50 over spot per ounce, and 90% Constitutional silver coins priced at just over spot.
That will be all for this week's SD Bullion Market Update. And as always, take great care of yourselves and those you love.
