Silver I am NOT Buying Again... 

NOTE: buy what you like! Theres no right or wrong way to stack. Just be smart and have fun with it!

Silver is silver. Nothing more than spot expected. Cheap generic buffalos are all I hold. Gold is entirely different. Government minted and backed only.

Buying collectibles made of silver is NOT investing in silver.

you're not a stacker, you're a collector.

I'm only buying Maple Leafes. 1 Oz...

I'm from Australia. I've only got three or four rounds, the rest are coins from sovereign mints; mostly Perth Mint, Royal Australian Mint and the Royal Mint. My favourite round, though, is a 1 oz 999 silver $25 gaming token from the Mirage in Las Vegas, from about 1989. I picked it up at an antique store (wish I'd grabbed all four they had instead of just the one) and got it just under spot price, which was a bonus. I think it'll be increase with the collectability aspect in the future as I recently saw the Mirage is closing down soon, so I'll see what happens there.

Its all about learning while living. Buy what makes you smile at the end of the day.

When it comes down to intrinsic value silver is silver. Collect what you like, but relying on trying to get some premium because of collector value, in a bad situation collector value will not be recognized as anything worth paying for.

Keep those four as carry coins that you can handle with your bare hands. The noise they make and the feeling you get is priceless.

Adjusting and adapting one's buying strategies is essential. I think you're making a good decision as it makes sense to me.

The Maple Leaf has anti counterfeit features that make it easy to authenticate. The same can be said of the UK Britannia. Very important considerations that make the coins suitable for barter.

I'm the least structured stacker ever LOL. I just buy whatever is cheap, or I feel may be collectable. Vintage is my main thing, as I can get it for the same price as a buffalo, but many times can sell it for double. (Dont sell to dealers)

I always went for the cheapest premium when it came to rounds as I'm the reincarnation of Jack Benny; I sure miss that $0.59 over spot!

When stacking switches to collecting

I'll buy 5 to 10 oz a month and then one of those oz's I dont plan on selling so I don't mind paying a few dollars extra for a really cool looking round.

Melt and pour them into a Graphite mold and make a 3 nines fine bar of silver and stamp your name on it.

U r god dawn right.

One thing good about those not so wanted silver is that they get to go first when you gotta sell. 8) They also make good gifts to other people.

I'm with you. I prefer highly recognizable stuff now where before, I bought random items. There is nothing wrong, however, with putting tubes of twenty random rounds together. Still a tube, still sellable back to an LCS, no issues there. But, other than two series that I like to collect, I want to stick with the big five: ASE's, Maples, Krugs, Britts, and Phils. Same when it comes to gold. I've been a bit "all over the map" and regret it but I do have a large stack now and it's hard to curse it just because there's a fair amount of variety.

I'm one of the rarer stackers. In that Im a stacker through and through. I stack all types of silver. Silver generics, silver coins, silver jewelry (not the main market. I buy it off from people for cheap. Like how someone would at garage sales.) it allows me to jump ounces faster and buy silver under spot when I'm extremely broke. Because people just wanna get rid of stuff. I got vintage silver, a few spoons, chalice, fractionals. I found out as a American, i stack more like a foreigner. In other countries it seems. Silver is silver. Same with gold. They stack bullion, and buy jewelry and it's all treated the same. Its money. In america it seems we are more picky and finicky. Technology has way over compensated. So checking whether it's real or not is not a problem. Whether you have a cheap acid test at home, or xray gun, combined with knowledge on what to look for. It's too easy to verify. And being that these medals have been traded for thousands of years, before xray machines. I have far more generics then coins tho. And would like to afford more coins😊 but the premiums always slow me down.

Ive gotten a few rounds im not really thrilled with but spot deals win imo. When i fet rounds they are usually sunshine mint, silver town, or scottsdale. I have bars but bars are bars minus my 10oz year of the tiger which is just a cool one to have. I have a ew vintage but my buys i really enjoy are perth mint lunars, queens beast and canadian 2 oz coins. All those usually i get my value and if not resell. Like my tudor beast lion i have an extra of im gonna use at the next coin show as a trade up to a gold goal. I def have a few pieces i do regret getting but with spot up im gonna get my money back on them and use em also in a trade for gold.

I'm in the UK and all I stack is Britannia's.

i kind of do the opposite. i try to by as many different rounds/coins as i can. makes it more interesting.

IIf the world fall apart and the financial system get wiped out, then I dont think a farmer or a shop or who ever cares about if the silver coin you can pay them with are a goverment backed coin or a random bullion. in that moment 1 Oz silver will be 1Oz silver value for them.

🥈👌👋

Maybe consider selling the random 4 rounds you mentioned and then turn around and purchase what you want. Peace 99.99 ✌🏼
