RE: #silverpornsaturday: Does Your Stack Make Sense?
I can agree with MOST of this, and it likely works best for Most People...

Yes, buy what you like and it should be the best strategy. As you know, I am almost strictly a BULLION STACKER, and I never buy collectibles unless I am fortunate enough to find a DEAL. Perhaps the biggest exception is that I bought a Valcambi Combi-Bar, 10x10x1 gram breakable ingots.
I bought it because I LIKE IT and I also have a collection of divisible rounds and bars, in case the SHTF... A full ozT might be too big for some things and I hate overpaying for anything 🤣🤩🤩🤩
I also have a good collection of Constitutional Silver, numis and odd pieces, but these were all purchased near Spot or under. I got a large number (few hundred) "Silver War Nickels" for about 35% Spot, which is refiners price. Gimme MOAR! like that! 💕
This just shows that shopping around, getting to know your LCS's and just asking (haggling) really pays off! I also get plenty of "things I like" but rarely pay over spot.
I am about to try my hand at pawn-shopping, since I know that they pay well under SPOT just like the Mall Kiosk "WE BUY SILVER & GOLD" bandits. I LOVE to stick it to those guys 😹🤣
Great choice, @underground! That is quite an impressive haul. I understand the advantage of fractional silver.
I have very few hand-poured fractional silver. I do stack fractional silver in the form of US Constitutional silver. And yes, I recently just discovered the great prices of silver one can avail of at pawnshops.
Stack on, my friend! Have a wonderful Sunday, and take care. 😍🌺🤙
I should have tried the coins at the pawn shop before this, because I knew I can haggle on the prices of firearms. Got a SWEET, Like NEW Browning Hi-Power (not to be confused with Hi Point LOL) for $600 which is like 1/2 list price of a new one. I just figured s high as those prices were it would be a waste of time, they were WAY OVER Spot, I guess I expected unreasonable dealings...
