🚨 SILVER DEALER EXPOSES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE NO COIN SHOPS!​

May 27, 2026
In this video my bullion dealer Silver Dave of Local Silver Mint warns what may be coming when there are no coin shops left to buy and sell silver! Why are so many bullion dealers likely to close their doors soon? Dave also explains what is likely to happen with silver and gold depending on the acceptance of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). He warns against giving up on silver as a means of exchange in barter and trade. Where is the spot price of silver likely to go if and when we are forced into using digital "slave dollars" for all purchases? Should we expect the price of silver to go up or down in the near future? Watch as Silver Dave and I discuss silver's future and answer a viewer's question about the right exit strategy for his precious metals. Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. 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!

IS STACKING SILVER EAGLES DUMB NOW? What about the PREMIUMS??​

May 29, 2026 #Silver #Gold #AmericanSilverEagles
Is stacking American Silver Eagles dumb now in 2026? What about the PREMIUMS that come with buying Silver Eagles? In this video rewind from 2019 when I was new to stacking silver and gold, I show my progress in filling a monster box with silver eagles. I talk about why I think stacking American Silver Eagles is not a dumb idea and is a good target for a new silver stacker. While the base of my precious metals stack remains gold, my silver stack contains close to a thousand American Silver Eagles. I was on a journey to fill my first monster box with Silver Eagles as soon as possible. And if you've been stacking for any length of time, you probably have stacked American Silver Eagles too! If you're new to stacking you may not know the best way to start stacking and the most economical way to stack American Silver Eagles, so I explain how I lower my Silver Eagle costs by sacking circulated or "cull" eagles whenever possible. Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. 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'S BLUNT WARNING "THEY'RE PROMOTING WHAT THEY HAVE TO SELL!"​

Jun 1, 2026 #Silver #Gold #Confiscation
In this video my coin dealer, Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop, gives a blunt warning about those who promote high-premium gold coins as a way to avoid a future confiscation. Tim also gives a shocking call on where he thinks the spot price of silver is headed. His prediction causes a polish stacker to say he'll "back up the truck" if Tim's right! Watch as this relatively new stacker also recalls a fascinating story about his ancestor's experience with Communist Poland, and he explains his reasons for stacking gold and silver! 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!
