Been in the game for a while, mostly with my Gold IRA, but I’ve been really ramping up my physical silver stack lately outside of that. Got about $75k in physical silver right now, mostly rounds and bars, nothing too fancy. Just hit 500oz of ASEs the other day which felt good but man, the premiums on those have been rough. I’m thinking about shifting more towards generics or even some constitutional silver to get more weight for my dollar, especially with how volatile things have been.

My old man, who basically taught me everything I know about commodities from his days in the steel mills here in Birmingham, always told me to watch the gold/silver ratio. It's been swinging wildly. When it’s high like it has been, silver seems like a no-brainer to accumulate. My personal target is to hit around 2000oz of physical silver within the next 2-3 years, and I’m about a quarter of the way there. I'm keeping my Gold IRA completely separate from this; that's my long-term, set-it-and-forget-it play with actual allocated gold bullion.

For those of you with significant silver holdings, what's your current strategy? Are you still buying pre-33 gold if you can find it at a decent premium, or are you all in on modern bullion? Are premiums influencing your buys as much as they are mine? I'm debating whether to keep buying 1oz rounds or just go for the bigger 5oz or 10oz bars to save a bit on the per-ounce premium. I’m trying to keep costs down but also want some liquidity if I ever need to sell smaller amounts. Thoughts?

Sounds like you're building a solid stack! Premiums on ASEs are definitely a pain right now. Have you looked into sovereign coins from other countries? Sometimes you can find better deals on those, and they still offer that government-backed purity and recognition. Think Canadian Maples or British Britannias. Just a thought to maybe ease the premium sting a little!

Totally get this! I've been feeling the same pull towards silver lately. My Gold IRA is set and I'm happy with it, but man, seeing the price of silver makes me want to dump everything else into it. I've been slowly accumulating too, not quite at your level, but those premiums are definitely a killer. What are your thoughts on getting into some junk silver for the lower premiums?

Hey, that's a solid stack! Congrats on hitting 500oz of ASEs, that's a nice milestone. You mentioned the premiums on ASEs – are you finding them to be consistently higher than on other government-issued silver, or is it more of a recent spike? Just curious what your experience has been there.

Honestly, $75k in physical silver feels like a *lot* right now, especially with those premiums you mentioned. I get the appeal of diversification outside the Gold IRA, and silver definitely has its place, but that much in physical silver could be pretty illiquid if you suddenly needed to offload it. Are you comfortable with that potential hurdle?

Totally with you on this. My Gold IRA is set and doing its thing, but I've been hitting the silver hard too. Just crossed the 1000oz mark on generic rounds this month and it feels good to see that stack grow. Premiums are definitely a killer right now though!
