I Bought SILVER Today at the Cheapest Store I Know

Aug 14, 2026 VERMILLION ENTERPRISES
Today I went and bought silver coins at Vermillion Enterprises in Spring Hill FL which is the cheapest precious metals dealer I know of. Why am I buying silver now? Do I think we hit the bottom in the silver price and it will go back to the highs soon? No, I only bought some silver to bring on my summer trip to sell in other countries and see what silver can get you in those countries.
So how did my purchase at Vermillion Enterprises go and what did I buy? I bought 10 American Silver Eagles for only $1 over the spot price. But they are cheap for a reason. Some of the ASE coins are painted. Will I have a problem selling them in Europe? We will see.

🚨DEALER REACTS TO INSANE GOLD & SILVER BREAKOUT!! 📈 WARNS OF FAILING BOND MARKET!

Aug 23, 2026 #Silver #Gold #Breakout
In this video my bullion dealer reacts to the insane gold and silver breakout this week! Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop warns that WE are the actual purchasers of American debt (U.S. Treasuries) in the failing bond market and says that the volatility of precious metals isn't over. Tim also gives some "fatherly advice" over how to stack silver and gold and the kind of generational patience needed to invest in precious metals. Watch as Tim Marschner and I discuss the price of silver and gold with some stackers from Indiana and Illinois and appraises a very interesting gold coin! Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today.

Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

Bullion Dealer Warns of Billionaire Buyout! What Does Exploding U.S. Debt Mean for Silver & Gold?

Sep 6, 2026 #Silver #Gold #Treasuries
In this video my bullion dealer warns of a potential billionaire buyout of U.S. debt--just as the U.S. federal debt surges past $40 trillion! What does our exploding U.S. debt mean for silver and gold? Watch as I discuss with Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop the merits of backing our fiat currency with a basket of commodities, including gold, silver, copper, oil, and food. I argue that we need money backed by real tangible assets (sound money) to keep our government spending in check! We also discuss that fact that America is INSOLVENT! The U.S. is BROKE!

Sep 10, 2026 #Silver #Gold #Manipulation
In this video my bullion dealer says he's ready to go to the halls of Congress (and even speak with the President) to urge them to properly regulate the commodities markets for silver and gold! I offer to drive Tim to Washington D.C. to help lobby for the end of gold and silver manipulation and against the ineptness of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

Why are people buying up the Bitz in massive amounts? They also talk about the current economy, explain why they are still buying more silver, and get a little "political" with Tim. Do they think the bottom is in for the price of silver and gold? Watch as Tim shares his thoughts on the current precious metals market and his frustrations over the market manipulation with 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.

Sep 13, 2026 #Silver #Gold #SpotPrice
In this video my bullion dealer warns that something's gotta give with the spot prices of silver and gold.

He Brought A 1000 Silver Bar To A Dealer! Here's What Happened Next

Sep 17, 2026 #silver #gold #preciousmetals
A customer walked into a local precious metals dealer carrying a massive 1,000 oz silver bar weighing roughly 70 lbs, looking to cash out for over $118,000. But when a six-figure slab of physical metal hits the counter, coin shop owners can’t just hand over a briefcase of cash—they have to verify every millimeter of the metal to guard against high-tech counterfeit bullion.
In this video, we break down the step-by-step authentication process used by Greenville Gold and Silver to test this massive block of silver, including XRF spectrometer guns, specific gravity water displacement tests, and drilling directly into the core of the bar. We also dive into the burning debate across the precious metals and silver stacking community: Is holding commercial COMEX-sized bars a smart low-premium wealth storage strategy, or a major liquidity nightmare compared to smaller 10 oz or 100 oz silver bars and government coins?

I Bring My Late Dad's Silver & Gold to My Coin Shop Dealer! 🪦 Father's Stack Revealed!

Sep 20, 2026 #Silver #Gold #Appraisal
In this video I go to Tim's Coin Shop and get an appraisal on my late father's silver and gold coins and jewelry. I had not gone through all that my dad had stacked throughout the years, and put the tin aside a year ago when he passed away. I wanted Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop to appraise everything and see how much value there was in his stack. I was surprised by the results of Tim's appraisal and had a great time seeing him carefully explain what each silver item was worth. If you are wanting to take some of your collectable silver coins to a local coin shop or to a bullion dealer for an appraisal, then this is the video for you! Have the silver coins, gold jewelry, and other items gained a lot since my father first bought them? Watch as I reveal the stack I remember building with my dad over the years. Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments and the failing US dollar as the world's reserve currency.

Sep 23, 2026 #Silver #Gold #Elections
In this video my bullion dealer gives warning over the price of gold and silver if and when the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) take over government control. Does Tim think we should "stack hard" ahead of midterm elections? Does he trust Congress to do the right thing for our country? Watch as Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop is also visited by a couple from New York City shocks the coin shop by buying several gold buffalos and says they will return soon to buy even more! And another silver stacker buys some silver Bitz and his very first 100-ounce silver Johnson Matthey bar from Tim. Do you think that was a smart silver purchase? Today's coin shop talk gets a bit political, but stackers should heed the warnings from my bullion dealer and one smart silver and gold stacker who thinks silver can be a bit too "bulky" to stack hard. Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today.

BULLION DEALER GIVES WARNING 🚨 AS NYC STACKING "WHALE" SHOCKS THE COI
 

🚁Helicopter Musings on Gold and Silver🚁​


Gold

There are several concurrent things happening that lead me to think that LBMA gold free float vault stock might be more constrained than anyone thinks (at least - I'm not seeing anyone talk about it):

> 🇨🇳 The premium for SGE gold to LBMA gold has been increasing over the last few days. Looks like China's demand for gold is growing.

> 🇮🇳 The IBJA spot discount to LBMA spot is collapsing while MCX futures gold vault stock is on the rise over the last few days. It looks like Indian gold demand is growing while they are also buying gold again. I expect we'll learn later that Indian gold imports have surged here in late September.

> 🇺🇸 COMEX Exchange For Physical (EFP) spread went deeply negative (providing bullion banks a profit arbitrage for taking delivery of COMEX gold and shipping it to London to sell in the LBMA OTC market) and at the same time the COMEX delisted "Enhanced Delivery" gold vault stock to the tune of 4M ozt. This while delivery requests against the September contract have been consistently strong over the last few days. It looks to me like fallout from physical demand from India buying gold (either directly from the COMEX or indirectly via the LBMA and bullion banks need to shore up London vault stock with COMEX gold).

> GLD (and presumably most other gold ETFs, though I'm not watching them daily) vault stock has been growing with large inflows over the last week. That directly pressures the LBMA free float vault stock.

I'm guessing the COMEX's 4M ozt "Enhanced Delivery" vault stock is being used to cover some supply stress. I don't expect we get an transparency on it though.

Silver

Silver looks a lot more calm compared to gold at the moment and that's somewhat surprising as silver is usually the volatile metal. However, there are some things I'm paying attention to:

> 🇨🇳 SGE spot premium to LBMA has remained consistently high between $8 and $9 per ozt. Demand seems steady and strong.

> 🇮🇳 IBJA spot + MCX futures are both maintaining a premium to LBMA spot even after discounting the 15% import duty. At the same time, MCX silver (KG) vault stock is back on the rise indicating that India is buying and importing silver. Physical demand in India remains strong.

> 🇺🇸 In the last three days, COMEX silver withdrawals slowed down but prior to that, were very heavy. The 5 DMA of deposits and withdrawals is currently negative (a withdrawal rate). Will the drain pick up again as we head into October (a heavy demand month for silver)?

> SLV (and most other ETFs) has increased vault stock which directly pressures LBMA free float. The 1mo lease rate has responded rising from moderately negative back to positive or near zero in the last few days.

Looks to me like a pot of water that is simmering but not at a boil yet. Yet.
