Beware of EBay Fakes

Beware of EBay Fakes

These are the best fakes I’ve ever seen. Weight is spot on, ridges look legit, security mark etc. Failed ping test. I suspected immediately once I realized they were shipping from China. Lesson learned. I did get my money back but took a while and my pride took a hit. Stick to trusted dealers fellow stackers!

Think I should turn them over to someone? FBI? Seems like small potatoes but I don’t know what else to do with them.

TikTok Auction

Just recently stumbled upon TikTok auctions and there’s a few “reputable” coin and bullion stores on there.

I won a few auctions and am awaiting on my bounty.

My question is; has anyone ever received fake silver from these auctions???

First time at LCS this year

I use to go every day at lunch time - silver being on sale again I went in for a look. I took my mom and she got me a few little things for a bday present. First picture is the copper coin and little silver bar I got and the rest are some cool trays I saw. See if you see anything I should go back for. Besides the obvious answer of yes go back for everything lol — unfortunately a year ago I would have left with every cool piece I found, things are expensive.

Anyone else watching this week's spot chop? Curious how you're reading it

Been keeping an eye on spot the last seven days and it's been more of a chop than a trend — [roughly $X to $Y and back again / up about Z% off Monday's open].

I'm never sure how much weight to put on a single week. Some folks I know treat anything under a month as noise and just keep stacking on schedule. Others watch the weekly range closely and time buys around the dips.

Where do you land? Does a week like this change anything about how you're buying, or is it just background noise?

First Add Since 2025

Excited to add a few 1/10 Silver Bitz to my stack. This is my first purchase since before the big run up and I am really happy with it. I can see myself buying more of these little guys.

Good LCS in Houston?

Hey yall, any good coin shops in the north houston area? My favorite LCS out here is Royal Coins but they’re about 40 minutes from me. Ive also been to Texas Bullion Exchange but the guy that runs the place is a scam artist and a dick. Any other recommendations would be very welcome!

Small portion of Bullion I refined myself

One is refined to 99.99% by using a silver cell after initial refining. The other was refined to between 98.5 & 99.9% using chloride precipitation from nitric. Even though its rinsed until clear copper sneaks in. Most times I achieve over 99%. Was using a steel mold for a bit which was introducing small amounts of iron. So now that mold is only used for making anode's and graphite molds afterwards.

Neil Armstrong Jacket Space Silver! (my wallet hurts edition)

I’m a sucker for spaced themed silver, space stuff in general and u/bankfinds knows it lol I picked these three up today for $250.

You read that right, I’m the proud new owner of a little patch of Neil Armstrong’s flight jacket. What a cool and weird little piece of history. Is it for everyone? Nope. Is it for me, absolutely. This week has been an expensive one but I’m happy.

Total space themed collection attached.

These cat taxes are getting outrageous!

Recent feline legislation in my jurisdiction has gone up to 20 ounces of fine silver a month. I’m not sure how much more I can take!

Where are the Silver bugs

So the LCS has random raw loose ASE for $2 over spot. When going through the bin is there any specific years or anything in particular to look for? Thanks in advance. Thinking of getting a couple

No more fake silver

Okay,
This time I went to my LCS instead of eBay and got some real silver. It’s not much, but it’s real. I Canadian maple leaf and a real silver eagle.

Dislike Coins With Royal Faces

The reverse sides of Maples, Britannias, Kookaburras, and Kangaroos are sick. However, I dislike the faces of the king and queen. Just feels lame to me, and has prevented me from buying any of those coins so far stacking. Was curious if anyone felt the same way.

Figured I’d throw in a picture of a coin that (imo) is perfect, obverse and reverse. Would love to get some Libertads if they weren’t consistently 50% over spot😅suspect I’ll have to bite that bullet one day
