Stacking or Collecting?

When it comes to silver some people would ask what's the difference? There really is only one thing different between the 2.

Stacking

We will start with stacking. You see stacking is collecting with no emotional ties to the silver. You are just adding weight to your pile of silver. Its a pure investment, it has no sentimental or emotional value to you. It is basically melt value.

Thats a stack, means no more to me than the value of the silver. No emotional or sentimental attachment.

Collecting

Now here is where the stackitis kicks in. This is the dangerous part of adding silver to your pile. Couple of reason why, 1st you are attached to it. 2nd price doesn't matter.

Attachment right there at its finest. Here have a close up of the western skulls collection

There is 8 total. Each one is 5 oz.

So becareful with collecting. It can get expensive.

No on to my prize collection. It is probably by far my favorite piece of silver. It was poured by myself and there are less then 10 running around. This one was the prototype.

It was casted in delft clay and hand poured part of the reason the back is smooth with no pour lines.

That is what I am trying to have that seperation between what I am stacking and what I am collecting. I was a coin collector before coming here. I am just learning the stacking thing and just started buying for the stack. I keep that stuff separate from my collection. The hard part now is that I have started to buy junk silver coins for my stack.

Being a coin collector its gotta be hard for you. Nothing wrong with junk silver of you can get it at a good price.

I'm a stacker, but I collect the weirdest silver I can find. In the "last to sell" pile... but I could sell it all tomorrow without regret. I had some hard lessons in the last few years...

I favor stacking over collecting when it comes to silver. I can't afford another collector hobby!

When its all said and done, weight stacking is really the only way to go. Thanks buddy!
