SILVER OR GOLD?? $500? $1,000? $50,000? WHAT TO BUY *RIGHT NOW* ON YOUR BUDGET!

Feb 24, 2026 #Silver #Gold #PreciousMetals
Silver or gold? That’s the question I get asked almost every day. And in this video, I’m going to give you a detailed breakdown on what to buy depending on your budget. I’m talking a percentage split between physical silver and gold that you should buy. I’m not going to get into the specific types of silver and gold, but I will mention a few that I think make a lot of sense (especially with gold). I first give some important gold and silver stacking assumptions and discuss the stacking "extremes" by both silver bugs and gold bugs. I then break down what type of precious metals to purchase by those who have less than $3,000; those who have between $3,000 and $15,000; gold and silver stackers with $15,000 - $75,000, $75,000 - $150,000, $150,000 - $300,000; and finally, those with over $300,000 to invest in gold and silver. 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!

BULLION DEALER REACTS TO DRAMATIC SILVER MARKET MOVE! HE WARNS: "WE MUST DO THIS!"​

Feb 26, 2026 #Silver #Manipulation #Shanghai
In this video my bullion dealer reacts to the dramatic silver market move by the Shanghai Silver Futures Exchange. What will their adjustment scheduled to take place on the last trading day of February 2026 do to the spot price of silver? Are you concerned about the wild volatility in the price of gold and silver? Watch as my gold and silver dealer, Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop, warns that these types of restrictions are needed in the COMEX now! Are they hoping for a big correction in the price of gold and silver like Tim? Do you hope we remove the manipulation in the gold and silver futures exchanges by limiting market hedging and short trading like China is? Listen as we discuss his recent rib injury and his pending return to the coin 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!

Silver Triple Digits in China Regardless of COMEX Price Glitch​

Gold closed this month of February 2026 with strength, marking a seventh positive monthly close candle; you have to go back to 1973's run to find a monthly run of positive spot price appreciation of that length.
Even with last month's large price selloff in silver, the white precious metal closed this month up in fiat US dollar terms for the tenth month in a row. The longest monthly streak on record for silver.
Silver closed trading in China this week already back in triple-digit-landia when their local price premiums are converted into fiat US dollar terms.
Their respective palladium and platinum bullion pricing to close their trading weeks were both multi-hundreds of dollars per troy ounce higher than the Western world spot price feeds closed this week.
The silver and gold markets finished this week and month on a strong note.
The spot silver price ended the week at $93.79 oz bid.
The spot gold price closed the week basically flat at $5279 oz bid.
The spot gold silver ratio fell to close the week at 56

COMEX Deliveries + Iran War = Higher Price for Gold, Silver & Oil?​

Premiered 2 hours ago #iranwar #iranisraelwar #stackingsurfer
Today Stacking Surfer discusses a hypothetical scenario (now real) involving an "iran war" and its potential impact on "global trade". We explore how "middle east tensions" could lead to a shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, affecting "crude oil" and ultimately "oil prices". This situation could significantly influence "energy markets" worldwide.

COMEX Deliveries + Iran War = Higher Price for Gold, Silver & Oil?
 
Boy, the entire market either gets a "out of stock" sign hung on it. A "Pre-sale" sign. And/or a monster premium laid on even the one type of round they say they have in stock. I didn't even bother going to my LCS today because I just knew they wouldn't even have any product laid out, at least in silver. Maybe a little gold.

I can't say I blame them. How do you make heads or tails out of a war time market on a Sat. ? I figure prices will shake out a big on Monday nut to tell you the truth Ive never played ball during wartime before. Now I just head we whacked the head guy in Iran so maybe, hopefully, it'll be a short one. Which would be a huge win for Trump but Iran will still need to win a civil war because the crimes by the IRGC have been to many and going on for to long. I know ; I was there in 1979 when this started.
 
The IRGC is marked for death. Once the top giys are greased the secular military will takeover until elections can be held.

SILVER DEALER REVEALS HIS PICKS BEFORE A SILVER PRICE EXPLOSION! 🚀​

Mar 1, 2026 #Silver #Iran #Tariffs
My bullion dealer reveals his silver picks for silver stackers ahead of a silver price explosion! Listen as I talk with Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop about the Supreme Court's tariff ruling and what affect a stock market decline would have on the price of silver. I also discuss the implace of an Iran war on the price of silver! Will conflict with Iran spike the price of gold and silver? Will silver soar to $150, $200, or even $300 an ounce this year? And what silver items should new stackers be buying RIGHT NOW?! It's great to have the gold and silver OG back in his coin shop, and I'm thrilled to help Tim sort through silver coins, silver rounds, and silver bars to get ready to sell on Monday when the coin shop finally reopens! These are amazing 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 STACKERS SWARM BULLION DEALER AS WAR ERUPTS! 🔥 Is THIS America First???​

Mar 4, 2026 #Silver #Gold #Iran
In this video my bullion dealer is swamped by both buyers and sellers of silver and gold as war erupts! The lines grow quickly and the parking lot fills as silver buyers come from all across the state to see my bullion dealer! A big drop in the spot price of silver and gold draws people in when the coin shop first opens and Tim can't leave until after 5:30 in the evening! Is the war with Iran going to suppress the price of silver and gold or are we about to see a massive spike in the spot price of precious metals. Silver usually goes down with the stock market on geo-political events, but this drop in spot price was a buying opportunity for these stackers. Watch and see customers buy bullion from Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop in what could be the beginning of a major war-driven volatility! I also ask customers if President Trump's actions in Iran are "America First"! 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!

War in the Middle East & Gold Market Analysis

Unfortunately, a War in the Middle East is here as Israel and the USA began bombing Iran this week, and now thousands of missiles, kamikaze drones, and deaths have been traded back and forth between respective nations and those in the neighborhood.
The silver and gold markets sold off to start the week and finished consolidating sideways over the last few trading days.
The spot silver price ended the week at $84.48 oz bid.
The spot gold price closed the week basically flat at $5172 oz bid.
The spot gold silver ratio rose to close the week at 61.
One thing gold did this week was gain in real terms relative to the still-overvalued US stock market. The S&P 500/Gold ratio fell below its late Jan 2026 low this week.
Gold outperforming during war, that's a standard gold attribute, not a bug.
If you are in the market for bullion oz, be sure to check out this weekend's deals page at www.SDBullion.com
Gold Buffalo coins and 10 oz Bars look to be the play this weekend. Get them while you can.
That will be all for this week's Bullion Market Update. As always, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

ANGRY BULLION DEALER SAYS *THIS* CHANGES EVERYTHING WITH SILVER & GOLD!​

Mar 11, 2026
In this video my bullion dealer throws out a call to action with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Watch as my coin shop dealer urges gold and silver stackers, as well as bullion dealers, to resist the bogus spot prices and complain to the CFTC. Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop takes a dramatic step in calling bullion dealers to sell their gold and silver BELOW SPOT to better reflect the manipulations if the precious metal markets and the futures exchanges. Tim argues that the posted futures prices for silver and gold are NOT the true supply and demand spot price of precious metals! Are you concerned about the wild volatility in the price of gold and silver? Do you believe the spot price is fake? 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.

CME Warns Against Rigging Oil like Gold​

One of the more ironic news-related items of the week was the head of Comex Nymex CME Group CEO Terry Duffy, publicly warning the US Treasury or any government attempting to lower prices using derivatives.
For in doing so, it would erode confidence, somehow further risking a 'biblical disaster' if markets like the CME became unable or less effective at setting the price of critical commodities.
Take the ongoing gold price, for example.
When the COMEX gold futures market was founded in 1975 with the express intention of injecting price volatility into the day-to-day discovery of gold prices on its leveraged exchanges, the price of gold at the beginning of 1975 was $175 oz.
Throughout the last 56 years of time, the price of gold trading during COMEX intraday hours has only risen to $529 oz. Yet the world's current physical gold bullion price is nearly ten times what the COMEX's ongoing data might suggest the price of gold would be, based on intra-hour trading data over half a century ongoing.
The bottom line is that the world's derivative price discovery markets are having a harder and harder time suppressing prices for critical commodities and store-of-value precious metals. It's a shame this latest war is making these facts more obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
The spot silver and gold prices traded down for the week.
The spot silver price closed at $80.57 oz bid.
The spot gold price ended the week at $5,019 oz bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio ended this week higher at 62.
That will be all for this Week's SD Bullion Market Update. As always, to you out there, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

Silver Stacking Veteran Asks Bullion Dealer...DID I BUY THE WRONG SILVER??​

Mar 18, 2026 #Silver #SilverRounds #Veteran
In this video a silver stacking Vietnam veteran asks my bullion dealer if he bought the wrong silver. The vet tried to sell his OPM silver rounds to a dealer and had the dealer say, "Never heard of them"! Does it matter what kind of silver you stack? How important is it that a bullion dealer knows the manufacturer of a silver coin or round? Watch as my coin shop dealer explains what he buys and sells and whether it matters what kind of silver one buys? Is silver really just silver? Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop enjoys talking with a true hero about his time in Vietnam and shares some stories about his time in military service. Tim continues to argue that the posted futures prices for silver and gold are NOT the true supply and demand spot price of precious metals! Listen as we discuss where the price of silver and gold are headed with this fascinating veteran as he buys new silver in Tim's 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 WARNS *THIS* COULD FINALLY BE BUYER'S MARKET! SILVER WHALE SELLS $100K BEFORE SHOCKING CRASH!​

Mar 19, 2026 #Silver #Manipulation #SpotPrice
In this video my bullion dealer sees the gold and silver spot price crash coming. Watch as my coin shop dealer urges gold and silver stackers be careful of a massive correction in the silver and gold markets. Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop buys over $100,000 worth of silver and gold from a customer RIGHT BEFORE the massive drop in gold and silver prices. Tim continues to make the case that the posted futures prices for silver and gold are NOT the true supply and demand spot price of precious metals! Is this the correction we've been waiting for in the paper silver and gold markets? Has inflation, the Federal Reserve holding rates steady, and war in Iran permanently destroyed the gold and silver commodity markets, or is this just a correction before the next leg up? Are the COMEX and Wall Street shorting the ETF markets in order to buy up more physical silver and physical gold? 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!

Gold Fell Over -$500 oz this Week​

The spot price of gold fell by over $500 per oz this week, the largest percentage drop since 1983.
Silver was not spared in this week's precious metals price selloffs. Closing the week, the silver spot price was about twice what it traded at this time last year, in late March 2025.
Later in this week's Bullion Market Update, we'll look at price action history to get a sense of where the bottom might be for both gold and silver.
The silver and gold markets sold off sharply this week.
The spot silver price ended the week at $67.79 oz bid.
The spot gold price closed the week basically flat at $4491 oz bid.
The spot gold silver ratio rose to close the week at 66.
The bottom line for bullion bulls the world over is this.
It's common in bull markets for bullion to see price retracements of up to 50% before resuming its bull climb.
For those kicking themselves at the beginning of the year for not having bought enough bullion, the opportunity again exists for investors to position near the ground floor of where this year started.
Name any major debasing full fiat currency pair, and the opportunity now exists to acquire silver bullion at prices you would have been pleased to have bought at only a few months ago.
The current crisis in energy markets suggests the central planners will begin another round of quantitative easing and rate cuts to keep the world economy from imploding.
You'll want to have your bullion positions settled before the next bull market move gets going again in earnest.
For those of you looking to take advantage of spot price selloffs, be sure to check out SDBullion's deals page this weekend.
And as always, to you out there, take great care of yourselves and those you love.
