<p>[QUOTE=&quot;myownprivy, post: 4524947, member: 84588&quot;]Yes, just look at the silverbugs reddit. Some people have some really ugly stacks. </p><p><br /></p><p>The most important thing is to identify why you are stacking. Are you collecting? Are you saving? Are you foolishly investing? That will determine what type of item you should buy. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are many options within each of the categories. For example, if you are stacking in order to save, you should be buying at very low premiums, with good resale value (meaning you can sell easily and you can sell for spot or reliably over spot so that your total spread between what you pay and what you sell for will always be small, no matter what the price of silver is). Then, focus your purchasing on what makes the most sense. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, Silver Maples are my favorite to stack for savings. They are the most verifiable form of bullion by all of the security features the RCM uses. Unlike an ASE, Britania, Kangaroo, or other government-issued silver coin they are not going to be successfully counterfeited (or at least the odds are substantially lower). Two, in normal times they can purchased with some careful patience at only a few percent over spot. Three, they can be resold always at spot or even a little above, giving a very low spread and risk to the buyer. </p><p><br /></p><p>The same can be said US junk silver, with some minor differences. Could easily be counterfeited, but the denominations are so small most wouldn&#039;t bother. They are extremely easy to resell in the US, maybe even easier than Eagles or Maples. The spread can be decent, but often worse than the Maple Leaf spread, because dealers like to underpay for junk silver. However, the spread is still way better than foreign government issued silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the problem you identify of an ugly or messy stack comes from the fact that not all &quot;stackers&#039; are just savers, investors, or collectors. Most of us are some combination of those things. So although the core of my stack is Maple Leafs, there&#039;s a bit of a collector in me that has at least one example of government issued silver bullion from most countries that issue them. Not to mention, CRH has yielded me a decent amount of spot silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I think what you identify that I agree with is the packrat stacker. The person who buy silver whenever he feels it is a good deal and then ends up with a silver stack made up of Eagles, Franklin halves, 1970s olympic coins, and silverware.They might even have old silver fillings in a vile.
