#SilverPornSaturday: US Constitutional Silver

According to Hive account@steemitboard, I have posted more than total of 650 articles since I first introduced myself here on April 1, 2018.... 95% of them were on precious metals.

The articles essentially describe how I stack and my thoughts on precious metals stacking and were written for myself, more than anything, as a reminder to stay the course.

Firstly, there is no such thing as one single way to stack precious metals. The rule of thumb is: buy only what you like! Also, it is the person's financial ability and goals that should determine how one accumulates his/her stack.

I personally started building the foundation of my stack with TWO types of silver bullion: American Silver Eagles and U.S. Constitutional Silver.

WHAT IS CONSTITUTIONAL SILVER?

Constitutional Silver is simply US coins (dimes, quarters, halves, dollars) minted before 1965. Up until that point coins made for US currency followed the Constitutional mandate and were minted containing 90% silver.

US Constitutional silver is sometimes called "junk silver".

Junk silver is an informal term used in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia for any silver coin which is in fair or cull condition and has no numismatic or collectible value above the bullion value of the silver it contains. The word "junk" refers only to the value of the coins as collectibles and not to the actual condition of the coins; junk silver is not necessarily scrap silver.

U.S. Constitutional Coins:

The photos I used in this article were taken by a good stacker friend of his latest bulk pickup. He has a YouTube channel and on IG and goes by the handle name

When I saw these photos, my resolve was once again made stronger to keep my course in building up the foundation of my stack of U.S. silver coins and fractional gold.
