GOLD to SILVER RATIO and why it matters!

In today’s video, I discuss the Gold to Silver ratio and how it relates to precious metal stacking strategies. I share some tips on how I played the GSR ratio to my favor and increased my own personal stack by 100 ounces of silver!

I did watch your original gold to silver ratio video and, yes, that’s what started me on this journey to checking the GSR often. Nice video, and my 85 ASEs look better than your tray. 😂

Thanks for explaining the ratio. Especially for when to trade out. Makes a lot of sense. Congratulations on your 100oz. Gain!

[brctom]

This angle of using the ratio never occurred to me, thanks!! I’m changing my strategy…

The problem with 125 ratio in 2020, there was no silver available to buy anywhere

Let's look at 1964 when silver coinage in the US stopped. At that time, a silver dollar would buy you 10 Mounds bars of candy. An ounce of gold was worth $35, so you could buy
350 Mounds bars. Today, an ounce of silver is worth about $23 or about 15 Mounds bars.
However, an ounce of Gold is $2030 today, and it will buy you about 1500 Mounds bars.
So, in 1964, you had a ratio of 1 to 35 silver to gold. Now, you have a 1 to 100 ratio
silver to gold for the purchase of the same commodity. This is a triple increase in the ratio
in silver to gold in the last 60 years.

Here's the problem I have with the math for those of us who don't own a coin shop. Suppose there are no premiums, and in my hypothetical world gold is at $1950 while silver is at $30, exactly 65:1. I have 520 ounces of silver, I sell at $30 each and get $15, 600, and that $15, 600 buys me exactly 8 ounces of gold. No suppose gold goes to $2040.20 (which it is today) and silver goes to $23.12 (which it is today), ratio of 88.2:1. I sell my 8 ounces of gold for $16, 321.60 and buy 706 ounces of silver. I'm up 186 ounces of silver. (but note I'm only up $721.60). So here is the problem... when I sell my 520 ounces at $30 and get $15, 600, that actually only buys me 7.62 ounces of gold (figuring a 5% premium makes the cost of gold to me $2047.50). Ok, so now the ratio is 88:1 (gold $2040.20 and silver $23.12 as before) and I sell my 7.62 ounces at spot getting me $15, 546.32. And I buy silver at say $25.12 (lowest reasonable price will be about $2 over spot) getting me 619 ounces of silver. So I'm still up almost 100 ounces of silver, but I'm actually DOWN $54. And if I had to sell that silver the next day at spot it would only get me $14, 311.28, and I'd be down $1, 288.72. I'm actually better off simply selling the 520 ounces at $30 and then holding on to the $15, 600 and buying at $23.12 ($25.12 after premium) getting me 621 ounces of silver. But again, even though I have 100 extra ounces, they are worth much less per ounce. And all of this is assuming the ratio goes from 65 to 88 which is a huge swing, and it is all assuming very modest premiums. Damn near impossible for us average guys to make this work out in our favor.

What would I look to trade buffalo rounds for? What would have the least premium in a gold ounce coin that you’d recommend?

[normangage]

Great video and topic! Your delivery was spot on perfect. Thanks Josh. Will be watching your deals!

[robinmecoins]

What would be a healthy fee(for the buyer) a LCS should charge for trading gold for silver? Hypothetically generic bullion for both.

[notserp]

What kind of trays are you using in your store and videos? Those are beautiful!

[sailfly]

The easiest way to follow g2s ratio is using grams instead of troy ounces, another thing is in MARCH OF 2020 is what caused this spike in the ratio was the declining Euro due to Russia that caused this spike before settling down to around 84 to 1 as we have it today. Follow the dollar index.

The is BEAUTIFUL information of wealth and knowledge, Thank You!

Currently, I own no gold or silver! Given the price of silver per oz. is in its $30’s! Isn’t it better to buy silver now than gold because it makes no sense for me to buy gold coins now when silver could explode to the upside, or I’m I wrong in my thinking?

[pcazz]

Love the channel. Question: If a customer is selling gold, can he get a little better price if he is using it to buy silver (or anything in the shop) vs. cash? Or are the margins just too tight? thx

[johngordon]

Not in Australia, with 10%, premium buy or sell.
