The third and final part of my silver trade story. Last time in part 2 I traded 10 generic silver rounds up to 10 avengers collectors coins. Well they're not really my thing and they take up a lot of space so they have to go! Besides a true stacker doesn't care about collector prices.
Here is the piece I ended up with after my trading up journey. I turned 10 plain 1 ounce silver rounds into a full kilogram(32.something ounces) silver bar!
What a beauty! I found a dealer who liked my Avenger coins and asked for $240 on top. Thats a win in my book.
Do you have any good up trading stories? Also I do have some collectable pieces in my stack, but this offer was too good to pass up. What do you think? Should I have kept the avengers, or is the kilo the smart play?
Ah yes!
I am sure your branded pieces fetched a premium from the right person. I have never stacked silver or gold but the #silvergoldstackers have inspired me to convert a big chunk of profit in the next run into a nice block of silver I can photograph and share like this one.
I think it's a great idea! A few ounces of silver never hurt anyone. For your first piece I recommend a Canadian maple.
Hey!
I should do that with the profit I took which sits in useless American dollars! Where would I get this Canadian Maple?

TD has free shipping on orders over 100. Perhaps there is a coin shop or pawn shop near you that sells silver, there are none in saskatoon so I order pretty much online only.
Oh yah I am an hour away from the insane Ontario population crush so I bet there are plenty of shops.
Funny thing is that I bet I would make more money from upvotes from the silver gold community than I would my precious metals investment. I think I will give this a try!
You are a genius eh?
Just loving the Kilo bar Ed.
Me too, it's no Scarlett Johansson though...
I need to get some bars. My site keeps increasing the min buys so I need a good run in crypto so I can convert,
