When I first started buying silver and gold in 2010 it was for pure weight. I didnt care if it looked nice I was only interested in its price over melt.
I'd look for the best deals and bought mainly Canadian Maples and cheap generic silver and gold at my local coin shop.
That didn't last.. Before long i was buying fancy coins like Kookaburras and Lunar coins from online retailers.
Then it got real bad, I started ordering rediculously high premium items from the Royal Canadian Mint
My last crazy purchase of a premium coin was this one..
I paid $45 over spot price for that 1 oz coin! That's just nuts!!!
I keep telling myself I need to get back into buying the lowest cost bullion I can but it's tough. I'm impulsive and these things are just so pretty. Insert sexy coin art pics..
That's a hot Japanese girls butt, what's that worth?
I guess I'm a hybrid stacker. I stack for weight, I do buy low cost bullion but I also splurge on items with a higher premium. I love to collect this stuff so having some unique items sprinkled into my stack keeps me interested and having fun
What's your angle? Are you stacking purly for investment purposes or collecting as a hobby? Does it even matter if we're having fun?
This is money that could be spent on stuff that would be valueless in a few years right? This stuff won't
Plus don't these metals look a whole lot better than some dirty worthless paper? (Fiat)
I'm and I'd love to hear from you guys. Leave a comment down below and and upvote if I'm worthy?
Have a great day and keep stacking!
