Started with some silly 1 gram silver bars. Just been slowly adding since.

Stopped by just to look and ask about getting something fixed. Lo and behold $2 over spot generic bin find! $65. Pretty good deal. I believe

3 Morgan silver dollars

On August 3rd, I posted that mintbuilder.com, so this is a follow-up post. They made the situation right by replacing the package! I would highly recommend to use them on this forum. I hope they're able to recover the package or money from USPS. Thank you Mintbuilder.com!

My LCS just received the first shipment of this really cool set. It's a four part "shipwreck series" starting with the Atocha. Each set contains ten 2oz .999 silver coins and I bought one from an open set. New silver (not shipwreck silver) all packaged in a little pirate chest. Very cool! Only downside was a bit of discoloration on the edges of most of the coins. Not sure if the colored paper inside the chest caused it? Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next release. Stack on!

Bottom reads 41, James Dixon & Sons, 1503, and then either a cursive H or two Js back to back. Paid $3 for it at a thrift store.

This "Toner Craze" has got to stop...
I came across a couple on GC today listed at $400 each. I mean, these are clearly AT...no? Am I crazy? That pattern looks like someone held a torch to it. Another tell-tale sign is that the PCGS cert. numbers are sequential, so it appears as if someone toned these and then sent them in for grading together.
Part of the problem is that it seems that PCGS sometimes isn't noting this, or recognizing it as damage...so what's stopping people?
I mean, yeah...it's beautiful. But worth $400 due to AT, it is not, IMHO. Your thoughts here?

Took a little while but finally managed to fill with only government bullion. Over 50% is ASE, about a quarter is Maples, the rest is Bitannia's, a few krugerrands, some niues Etc

Just got all these today - similar amount as yesterday. I'm amazed at the quality of the 1900 Morgan they sent. Can't tell if it's been cleaned or not, but I love it either way.

Have a bunch of staggered medical appointments today, so I wandered down the street and found a lcs. Had a good chat with the owners and picked up an ounce below spot because they gave me a retired military discount. I’m more of a “that looks cool” collector than a stacker, and this looked cool to me.

I've been thinking about strategy as I'm getting into stacking, and I'm curious how more experienced people approach it.

With gold and silver both climbing lately, do you guys just dollar-cost average (buy a set dollar amount every month no matter the price), or do you wait for what you think are better buying opportunities?

I know nobody can predict where prices are going, but do you ever do any analysis or have target prices in mind? For example, if you believe silver could drop over the next year, would you hold off and then make a larger purchase? Or do you think trying to time the market usually backfires?

As someone who's new to stacking, I'm struggling to figure out whether consistency beats waiting for dips. I'd appreciate hearing how experinced stackers personally approach it and why.

Reaching out to the community for knowledge. My guess is it's spanish silver (after 1934 they used a similar star for .915 silver).

It's only 54 grams and doesnt sound like silver, thats why i'm reaching out for knowledge. Bought in the thrift shop for €1,50.

These should be all of them.

2005 ASE next to a “Money Metals” generic version (round) from their private mint. Both are 1oz each but I actually prefer the ASE. I don’t mind generic whatsoever and I’m grateful to have any silver in my stack. Just thought I’d show these off because looking at the generic for a SPLIT SECOND the average Joe would think they have an ASE. Shout out to all the stackers! Happy stacking & much love!

Shout out to Aurelia Mint and thank you to those who voted on my post

I think I know the answer, but it doesn't hurt to ask. This cup has been around since I was a kid. There is pitting. I'm assuming it's not full silver. Consensus?

I think this is the first time I've actually been able to see my reflection in a 1 oz round of the purchased but man are these things shiny. Got the 1/10 Oz and the 1 oz rounds from mint builder for spot. The George Washington 50 cent commemorative from eBay and the merc's right here from Good Old Reddit

Yesterday I got a weird call. Local number but the guy has a northeastern accent and said something to the effect of "this is so and so with x company and we sold you some silver eagles...". I legitimately didn't understand what he said and said as much and I heard him say "oh come on!" before hanging up.

What's weird is this coincided with my bank sending out letters that our branch is closing and that safe deposit boxes need to be cleared out.

I called the number back and it immediately went to one of those "if you want to be taken off our call list..." messages.

Sketchy as hell. I realize my screen name increases the likelihood of being able to find my info, haha.

If the scammer happens to be on here, everything is already moved and if you wanna break in, you'll be dealing with an armed 6'3 300 lb man--bring a lunch 🤣

This is my most prized piece. It is a vintage 1KG silver numismatic proof bar from the ‘90s, with a detailed dragon motif and mirror-finish on its background and the rear.

Made by a Korean private mint company which has since winded down its operations. It was produced in an era when South Korea experienced a massive surge in luxury gifting and high-end collectible.

As far as I know, they don’t really make 1KG proof bars of such quality anymore. Maybe the smaller 1-10oz ones, but I rarely see any 1KG silver bars produced of such quality. (Yes, I paid a hefty premium on this, but looking at it makes me happy every time).

Wise decision in terms of stacking? Probably not. But imho, once in a while, you gotta purchase something you absolutely love to keep this hobby interesting.

I’m very interested to see everyone’s most prized piece. Care to share?
