This is where my silver and gold stacking went completely off the rails. Hey everyone, thank you so much for watching Yankee Stacking. Yeah, I went off the rails with my gold and silver purchases. I'm gonna show you what I got and why. But, you know, as we get near the celebration of our nation's independence, I'm struck by several things. I want to share them with you really quick. First, is how blessed we are to live in our country as flawed and as ugly as it can sometimes be. God has truly blessed our nation. That's the first thing. The second thing that I was thinking about is how indebted we are to our founding fathers. They mutually pledged to each other. They're lives, they're fortunes, they're sacred honor for our freedom in prosperity. They were men and women who supported them. Men are afraid to launch this great national experiment and we owe so much to them. The third thing, it's on more of a personal note, is all of you. My viewers, my subscribers, my members, I never dreamed of where my YouTube content creation would take me back in the summer of 2018. And it's because of you and I'm truly grateful. But, whether you agree with my channel and the stuff I talk about, like my Austrian macroeconomic slant or my urgent call to prep, because you should be prepping people, or even stacking the Yankee way. You are the reason for this channel. I'm so grateful for you. And yes, I'm dependent on your support. So thank you. If you want to help me in a small but meaningful way, please hit the like button. Just take a second, right? And I've learned over these three years that YouTube gets its pulse racing and suggests videos to others if you just do that. So I mentioned stacking the Yankee way. That's my approach to stacking silver and gold in what I think is an effective way. Without regret. There's a whole bunch of aspects to it, like, you know, seeing precious metals more like insurance, rather than a traditional investment. You know, focusing on the long term and not looking to silver and gold to get you rich quickly. Dollar cost averaging with opportunistic purchases with some dry powder. Sticking largely with the three stacking basics of fractional gold, constitutional silver, and government minted silver bouillon from, you know, the nation you live in, or the nation that's near you. Stacking dense for storage, portability. And especially avoiding unnecessary premiums on your silver and gold. I'm chuckling because that last one. It's been a critical factor for me, but I might have blown it. I buy an occasional silver ice cream cone, as I like to call it, but I am probably one of the most disciplined stackers you will ever see on YouTube. So now I have a confession to make. If this is where my silver and gold stacking gets shaky, this is where I went off the rails. This box has some high premium silver. This is probably the most expensive piece of gold I've ever bought. It's skipping the ice cream cone and going straight for the banana split. All right. So let's do this thing. So as you probably notice, it said, each bee distribution, each big hero bullion, big, big shout out to hero bullion and helping me get this. Jake made it known during one of our silver pros, silver dragons and I, that the labor tats were coming available at hero bullion. He gave away a 2021 labor tat on our show, tremendously gracious and generous of him and really an exciting gop to say the least. And check it out. He helped me score some labor tats and I don't buy labor tats. These are higher premium silver. This is the 2021. Wow. Let me just pull it out. Right here. That's the one ounce. Beautiful. Just absolutely bonkers over this. I wonder why this is the two ounce piece. Man, look at the detail. Again, 2021 chunky two ounce piece of silver. Oh, this is the five ounce, a five ounce 2021 silver labor tat. And that is where you get all the detail that I'm going to zoom in on this. Wow. Look at all the reverse has all the different iconic eagle rattlesnake designs throughout the years. My goodness. That one came in a coin capsule. Thank you so much, Jake. See, he's a no nonsense family man who makes good on his promises sells his medals at reasonable prices. Very reasonable prices, I should say. Now, could you find this type of silver cheaper somewhere else? Maybe online? You could. Did you maybe find a bigger selection elsewhere? Possibly. He didn't have what I wanted in this package at the time. So I had to roll the dice with the bullion behemoth and bought it. But trust me, I'd rather have purchased this from a guy like Jake at Hero Bullion or SD Bullion. Those are the two that I choose online to buy my silver and gold. But, you know, I was kind of desperate to get this one. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. That's another tip that this is anything but stacking the Yankee way. You don't want to be desperate when you're stacking your silver and gold. But hey, I'll admit it. I was a little desperate to get this. Talked obviously to Jake. I checked around. It was the hardest thing to find. A one-ounce gold Ulibur Tad. Yeah. That makes... I feel kind of dirty doing this. But I want to shout out Hero Bullion for what Jake did for me. But he, again, he couldn't get the gold. So I really wanted to wrap up purchasing one-ounce gold bullion from around different global mince. And I was stuck in Mexico. I couldn't get out of Mexico. I had to get a one-ounce gold Ulibur Tad. I didn't care what the date was. I just wanted to get one. And I did. Of course, it didn't come in a coin capsule. Come on. That makes really... That is the final gold piece on my world tour. The... Just beautiful coins definitely outside my stacking the Yankee way. Guys, be very careful buying Lieber Tad. You pay a real high premium for these. But... And I am so glad I got them. Thanks again to Hero Bullion. And as always, I hope your day is A-OK. Wow, look at the size of this thing.
