RE: Hey Stackers, i'm new!

Very Nice Start, the 1944 half looks pretty nice, prolly a numi on some level. If all of those are real silver, you have ~ 5.25 ozT right there. I never did try for numis or overpriced collectibles but I ended up with quite a bit of it all the same. Antique shops, 2nd hand stores and some coin shops will make you good deals on fair to good coins to make monthly sales or goals. I got a lot of otherwise 'nice' ASE's that were scratched on one or both sides, by a jealous "EX" or naughty child, obtained them for SPOT.
You have one, here:
ASE is American Silver Eagle, it's pretty much my staple coin ;) I started out with 124 ASE's in late 2009, and as soon as I took delivery, the price dropped like $2 ozT!!! Guess what I did. Bought MORE SILVER!!!
I probably grabbed almost twice as much as my first haul, over time. Set a stacking budget, buy some every payday if possible, or every other, but buy regularly. The price moves are so small of late that just buying regularly will beat trying to buy the dips. If you cannot get enough cash in 1 or 2 paychecks, buy monthly. But buying regularly (DCA) beats trying to time the markets by a good margin, most likely. Even a silver dime here and there beats not buying any silver at all! Heck, I ran coin faucets for months, got millions of Litoshi saved up and once the prices spiked, it was worth nearly $100 all told that I had made. maybe 7 months worth but it was wrth the time, twice a day, morning and night. So micro-stacking really adds up in any event.

Thanks, that's a lot of good information.
I never really thought that much about silver as an investment before, or even as a store of wealth. The coins I have just happened to be stuff I found in my pockets mixed in with change, or given to me by relitives at Christmas, etc... Now I want to collect lots of shinny rounds and maybe add some larger oz bars over time. I'm thinking maybe just a regular once-a-month order of an ounce or two, and by this time next year i'll have accumulated a dozen pieces at least... That's like only one or two large pizzas a month! And then maybe double that for some of the more artistic coins.
So, gain silver, lose weight.
Thank you. I finally think I have my new year's resolution figured out now.

LOL! Glad I could help, killing 2 birds w/one stone :D

Don't be like the guy that bought 2 pizzas and stix, etc with 10,000 btc in 2010 ;)
