I've been buying hand-poured silver from the beginning.
I collect it, I enjoy it, and a way to support my favorite silver pourers.
But is it a good investment?
Price
The overall arching thing here is the price... the premiums.
We need to recognize the fact the hand-poured silver is going to have premium! And that is pretty much what investing in hand-poured silver is all about...whether or not it can hold and can grow the premium that you paid for it over time.
There is so much to choose from... shapes, weights, sizes. There are a thousand varieties out there! It can be 3-dimensional, they can be hallmarked or regular bullion bars... each one carrying a different level of premium to it.
And each takes time to prepare... each ending up with a high premium.
Branding
Does high premiums stop it from being a good investment?
There are many factors in whether or not premiums are worth paying. One of them is branding. Branding is so important. There is a huge uptrend in the number of people producing their own hand-poured silver!
If you are specifically wanting to invest in hand-poured silver, perhaps you should consider those bigger brands. If you walked inside a local coin shop and you ask for an AG Ender bar, they probably say..."Hmm... who?" But if you looked for a YPS bar or an MKBrz, they would readily know what you are there for, because these bigger pourers have exposure worldwide.
Branding is important if you are considering hand-poured silver as an investment. You may want to release your investment and sell your pieces. And when you do, you want them recognizable, and be in demand.
When I purchase hand-poured silver, all I can do is hope that someday the pourer will be recognizable.
Pleasurable purchase
You have to look at hand-poured silver as a pleasurable purchase. You may not necessarily have it as the foundation of your stack. It should not be the whole weight of your stack.
And perhaps if you should have a small amount of hand-poured silver that you would enjoy, it would be a lot better in the end.
Certainly, if you don't get your money back for your hand-poured silver, you probably won't be bothered as much... because, at the end of the day,
it is something nice,
maybe you have it sitting at your desk,
and you like it!

Thanks for showing the poured storage of wealth, @silversaver888 .
These will be a permanent store of wealth for me! I will not be selling them anytime soon, hehehe.
🥰🌺🤙 !ENGAGE
ENGAGEtoday.What do they say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder " If it brings us pleasure, like you were saying, maybe you will put this on your desk to enjoy @silversaver888.
With time these will definitely appreciate in value, so why not have fun, enjoy, and save for the future...We can have it all my friend😍😍😀
I enjoy the hand-poured pieces that I have. But I think I have enough of them to last me to Timbuktu. Especially now that silver is way expensive! I wonder how the pourers are doing? Are they pouring as much? I'm talking about the hobby-pourers.
Thats a good question @silversaver888 .... I think for the moment I will stick to the lowest premium per ounce, we never know what the price will be tomorrow LO!L Take care my friend enjoy the rest of the week!
I did an experiment on tonight's post and I used a phone app to reduce the quality of the photos and they all worked .......Tonight Lol!😍😍😀
I will go check it out!

Looking at my Poured Pirate Silver collection it would be so hard to part with many of them as some are very personal and associated with great memories and friends in our past.
Other silver will have to go before I part with many of these.
Always, with Love my Sis 🤗 🌺 💖

After a while, you have to sit down and determine just how much you are going to spend for such silver... am I into this to satisfy myself or others? If I wasn't into social media, will I be buying the same silver? If so sn't it like buying that handbag, or that pair of shoes? Is it all vanity?
Have a wonderful day, sis @kerrislravehill!

ENGAGEtokens.Alas, I was nowhere near 6.9 oz with my guess, so I lose! There is always next time!
Hehehe... yes, there is always a next time!
🥰🌺🤙 !ENGAGE
❤️
ENGAGEtoday.My previous guess was probably a little too far out. This time I will guess 3.75.

Awww... that you for participating in the contest, my friend🥰🌺🤙 !ENGAGE
ENGAGEtoday.sorry SILVER, I did not understand the weight and the unit of measurement, can you repeat them to me?
That's okay, @stefano.massari
Okay, the bar weight 6.9 ounces.
Your answer must be with 0.25 from 6.9 ounces.
So that would be: 6.65 ounces to 7.15 ounces

what a confusion with all these units of measurement ... we in Italy have the kilogram
I will take conversions!

Hahaha!!!!

My Bullion Stacking Strategy has paid off handsomely so far. I have so much stack that was at spot (and some under) so I'm money ahead. I really only pay the pourer's premiums for PRICELESS Works of my Dearest Friends...
Totally worth the extra! But it's cuz I can Afford to splurge, I'm killin' it on the rest 🤷♂️
