If your silver bars were ever stolen, the unique serial number may assist with identifying them if the thieves tried to resell them to a refiner.
Local silver and gold bars do not come with an assay certificate or individual serial numbers. Also, to ensure purity, the local New Zealand suppliers we use, regularly exchange metal with other companies locally and in Australia. When this happens the metal is assayed again. So if there was ever a problem with purity they would be found out very quickly. Because reputation is everything, this would put them out of business. They are family owned and run businesses, conservative by nature and have been around for years.
Supplying precious metals to private investors but also to Jewellers in New Zealand. The Swiss refiner has more than half the world market for gold bullion bars weighing less than 50 gms. So PAMP gold and silver bars are well recognised and easily resold worldwide. While not relevant from a logical perspective, the PAMP Lady Fortuna Gold Bar is also probably one of the most attractive bars we have seen, if not the most attractive.
Local New Zealand gold and silver bars are well recognised and readily bought and sold in New Zealand and Australia and for one supplier in Thailand as well. The suppliers will readily buy back the bars and they can also be bought and sold on the likes of TradeMe. However they may not be so easily exchanged for cash in other parts of the world without first requiring assaying. When selling the PAMP gold back to the supplier, you will also likely get no more than a local bar.
But it will still be under the spot price. So the spread the difference between the price to buy and the price to sell will likely be more for PAMP than for local gold. Either way, you end up owning silver drunk. Only variable is how much cash is left in your pocket after the drinking spree. I just preference "enjoying' getting there I'm a firm believer quality matters Most of my bars mentioned are grams.
They do not have pretty pictures on them. Their simply 35 years old. I will say at least people lured into silver with pretty pictures on them will not be smashed as hard as baseball card collectors.
From these to special issue Canada and Perth. My question is how many sets, variations etc, before people just sigh and not get excited. Apples to hand grenades here bud. There is a marked difference between top shelf bourbon vs.
Silver is silver. Plain and simple. Whether or not you're willing to shell out some extra bucks and rationalize it by saying it's "collectible" is a horse of a different color.
Either you're just being facetious or I gave you too much credit in my reply. I don't care if they're years old, that alone doesn't add to the intrinsic value of the silver.
They are beautiful bars, but they tone like all other shapes and sizes of silver. So if you buy it because it's pretty keep in mind it won't stay like that forever. I do however absolutely want recognition and something that will forever be in demand so I go with what I consider middle shelf of Off.
You get what you pay for …….. Worldwide recognition In, recognition out. Always desirable now, always desirable then. Liquidity in, liquidity out.
The Lunar Horse is my favorite. My father is a collector of PAMP bars and is the one who got me interested in silver. He buys these simply because he likes them. Again these are more for the collection side of your stack if you so desire. Outside of the few the online stores carry you will end up paying more for the others. My thoughts are, like others have said , collect what you like and can afford -know your end game as others have stated and stack accordingly.
If you are a stacker or accumulator these are not for you or me but I have a few on my collection side for hobby along with other coins I collect. Here is a few more for eye candy perusing You get what you pay for..
Has anyone ever told you that you tend to ramble? I pride myself on being terse Premium silver bars are like all luxury items It's like a luxury car, you never buy it new because the value drops as you drive it off the lot I don't disagree at all Ultimately a Generic's a Generic and they all eventually wind up from whereas they came, the smelter. Plus Generics are my third stacking category of three and also my lowest holdings is that I prefer my stack to be top to bottom easily recognizable familiar , verifiable prefer Coins and liquid desirable.
Each his own on stacking philosophies it is also a hobby BTW and IMO but yes a generic's a generic a generic and my LCS also has an impressive Generics Bin to pick through if you so choose before it occasionally disappears on its way to the smelter.
I don't remember hiring you as an investment advisor. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I have not come on to Kitco and engaged in any statements like the above.
I'm not being facetious. So far, all my thoughts and investment decisions as a primary fiduciary are rational. Neither of us know what these items will be worth today, tomorrow or in 30 years.
You'd think in this the electronic age you'd be able to look up serial numbers I remember looking up some serial numbers from a small handful of JM Bars I'd inherited many moons back. You're speaking to Joe in New Jersey.
Are you aware of that? I don't think you are! I think your "high horse" just broke its leg? Just call me Rambling Joe You guys are alright :D To the Pamp et al buyers: want to collect pretty, shiny bobbles? Have at it! I'll keep stacking. Continue on in brave fashion, with great conservation and parity. When I get on the scale - every morning I wish it was still Why so expensive? Correct me if I'm wrong but the reason they are expensive is their minting process.
