Message:: [QUOTE="longnine009, post: 2680004, member: 1886"]The "old-timers"  (read script keepers for the status quo) railed against the art bar craze in the 70's. Some wrote letters to  the editor demanding that NN or Coinworld stop excepting ads from dealers who dared to go off script by offering non-numismatic items.  As if they, the "old school," had somehow been imbued with  devine authority to define numismatics or decide how Coinworld or NN conduct their business. My answer to them in 1974 was the same as it is today: BITE ME! The main reason for stacking in the 70's (that's right OP, stacking  is not recent)was hedging against inflation. But PM's are also swaps against the status quo. And that's the big rub with you people isn't it? How dare they not love the stock market. How dare they not have faith in the USD. How dare they make jokes about the Zombie Fulfillment Center and crony capitalism. And what's with these stackers and the zombie apocalypse? Don't  stackers know an apocalypse is a complete end to the way things are? That is soooo un-linear. How dare they make light of such an event! Yeah, that's rub alright. Suck it up.[/QUOTE]
