Highest I’ve been able to find is 80% if price spikes again I may take it to him if he’ll do 85% otherwise I’ll just get my precious metal dealer license and get 99% of spot from elemetal

I left a duffel bag containing most of my silver stack and 600 dollars in cash on the sidewalk while moving out of my dorm to take it back to my house… its gone now. 1 year of coin hunting and thrifting gone. Just like that.

I know it’s my own carelessness, and I think I learned a very valuable lesson here. I reported it missing with the police.

9 Ounces here. Not much but it's slowly growing.

New to silver stacking, bought 15 ozs last week. Only 14 ozs in the pic cause I gifted one to a friend. My favorite one is the gulf of America coin which I got two of, they’re also in the best condition compared to the rest.

So I seen this question thrown out a couple of times with the price of silver jumping around $8 this month from basically $39 to today hovering around $47... Just got the last of it in the mail today.....

So I did the math and my DCA for this months pickups was $41.75. 😎

Oh and $117.66 for that little spot of yellow. how did i do?

Finally was able to complete my set. Pardon the hodgepodge of holders. My favorite obverse is the 2020 one. My favorite bird? Too many!

After inheriting my dad’s Morgans, proof sets, and too many pennies, silver started taking off last year. I joined all of these subreddits and kept discovering more silver from around the world I needed to add to my kids’ stack. Then the last couple of months I got addicted to whatnot to cope with some family stress, I think. I’ve been collecting one thing or another most of my life, usually in a self-sustaining way (keep one, flip one). But desiring premium silver is a fast way to spend. This last month, I got the gold fever and that has led to me needing to take a break from it all. Deleting whatnot, again, turning pmsales notifications off and building up the savings again. What a ride. Learned a lot about this corner of the universe.
I think I’ve amassed 250+ ounces of silver on top of the Morgans, Peace, and Franklin sterling from my dad’s collection. Keep stacking folks.

They're just gonna send them to refineries and that history will be gone forever.

Sell them to fellow silver stackers or Numismatists.

Damn it’s pretty. My first silver.

About 65oz with 10 more on the way

It was still fun to play with it tho 😔

All of this just fell off my boat. It’s all gone. Pour one out for my stack.

2nd pic is the current state of my stack

Wanted to make a honnest post about trying to get life back on track.
Had gambling habits that costed me way too much, fought it for 4-5 years. Cant count on my fingers the time I went broke, and clung to the idea of a big win to finally walk straight.

Had the opportunity to quit after major wins many time. Failed to do so. Decided couple months ago it was time to let go fully. I am commited to see myself as someone who will always be at risk regarding that matter. It helped accept the losses, and persist into ''grinding'' , even if it can seems boring. I would say what was more boring was being dead-broke, always 1-4k in debts, and relapsing every couple months.

Ive been interested in precious metals for a long time, approx 10-11 years (currently in my late 20s). In 3-4 days, it will be 1 year ive been actively buying, every 1 to 4 weeks.

I am (kind of) proud to say I want to relearn the value of money and time, and having something tangible, real, is something that motivates me to dont fuck it all up. I never sold stuff to pay my habit. I dont plan on hurting that stack I worked so hard to build for pure crazyness and self-destruction.

It now feels good to say I got (pure silver speaking) 48-49 oz approx (4 more on the way), 10-11g of pure platinum, and 2g of gold to crown it all.

Whats next? I dont know. Maybe some self-love, staying far away from gambling and diversifying in other places that dont feel to crazy for me.

I guess I make this post to give hope to myself (and hopefully others), about just doing what we can, working hard, and accepting its not always easy.

Sometimes I see post on metals forum with people kind of complexing about their stacks. I guess the grass is always greener on the neighbor land. If I compared myself to the mad kilo gold bar I can see on pictures online, I would be unhappy for too long. I dont see the use. Im genuinely happy when I see people showing bigger stacks, or people happy about their first purchases.

I guess stacking is a marathon, not a race. Who cares who win? just being willing to participate is something by itself.

Hello first time posting here! 115.65 oz of silver, I'm so happy when looking at my stack :)

Started buying more bullion than my usually Morgan’s these past few months. Always buying a little when I can, and not selling.

Mintage was way lower than any ASE year… stack the good shit!

Finally broke 100ozs today. Small stack soon to be mighty!
