In this video I’m chatting about Johnson Matthey silver bars and whether they’re actually worth having in a UK stack. JM stuff is one of those names that carries a bit of weight in the bullion world, and because they’re pretty collectable, people often assume they’re automatically a “must buy”. I break down why that isn’t always the case, and what I look for before I pay up for the name. I go through the main reasons stackers chase Johnson Matthey bars (recognition, history, collectability) and the main reason I hesitate (premium). For me it always comes back to the same question: am I stacking for weight at the lowest cost, or am I deliberately buying something with a collector angle? If you’re paying a chunky premium, you need to be honest with yourself about your exit plan and who you think will pay that premium back to you later. I also touch on the importance of verifying bullion properly and doing your own due diligence—because none of this is financial advice, it’s just what I’ve learned building my stack over time.
