As a few of you know, I've been lurking around the posts of various members of Silver Gold Stackers for...quite a while now. I enjoy looking at all your shinies, and I slowly developed the urge to join in the fun.
I don't actually have a lot of genuine silver or gold coins of my own. At least...I don't think I do. Though recent posts by @trumpman have made me think there might be some hiding in plain sight...I'll have to find time to comb through the coins I've brought home from my travels over the years and see!
But before I go treasure hunting in my junk drawer, I wanted to show off my first move toward making a proper stack!
The photo above is of my very first purchase of silver for the express purpose of stacking. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's my first purchase of silver ever, aside from a few rings some decades ago. 😄
I've always been a smalltime prepper at heart. I'll never have the fallout shelter and 10 million rounds of ammunition, but I'd like to think that I'll be better prepared than the average schmuck should the shit ever truly hit the fan. But holding real, irrefutable precious metals was one place I've been slacking...until now.
These beauties were purchased, as you may have guessed by the printing on the coin holders, from Monument Metals. I have @coinjoe and @silverd510 to thank for making me aware of MM (via a couple of posts in @thealliance Discord), and for tipping me off to their offer of 5 troy ounces of silver at spot prices (the deal can still be found here, if you're interested; it's limited to one per household, though).
As much as I've loved reading and learning about all the different types and styles of shiny goodies, I also have a serious tightwad streak in me. Paying 2x to 3x spot price for something just because it's pretty has always run contrary to my objective of holding metals for their practical value. So that offer was exactly what I needed to push me over the edge into stacking!
I'll tell ya though, feeling the weight of this stuff in my hand is...slightly addictive. I can already tell these won't be the last things I buy. The budget is too tight at the moment to go whole hog, but I really like the heft and size of these babies. And from what I've seen, Monument is constantly running sales for just a buck or two over spot, so I know there will be plenty of opportunities to grow my stack, even if I never plunge headfirst into the artistic side of silver stacking.
That said, I probably will at some point. I'm just too much of a sucker for pretty things. 😆
Have a great day, y'all!

Welcome to the stacker club! Excellent choice for a first buy.
Thank you! Now I need to keep my eyes peeled for more great choices. 😁
whoo hooo! These are great pieces for a start! Way to go! 😃
You must be killin' it out here!
@thekittygirl just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @willendorfia.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.

Thank you! I'm excited and scaring myself all at the same time. 😆
Welcome to #silvergoldstackers @willendorfia , a great start!
Sounds like Onset Stackitis, I'll need further observation posts.

These are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing - I didn't realize this was a recognized disease. I must learn all about it immediately, so I can determine the best course of treatment. So far, it looks like stacking is the only cure! 🤓
Great post as always! I've started to think about this too and have found myself browsing the stacker posts. Still haven't taken the plunge, although I'm sure when I do I'll be as excited as this!
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, it's definitely exciting and addictive!
Starting out with smart stacking great work! Lots of nice designs but most of them come with a hefty premium that premium is not easily recouped during sale !BBH
So much this! Not that I necessarily intend to sell, but given my objectives (stacking for value/holding, rather than art collection), it's definitely something to consider.
Eventually it's going to get sold even if that's later when it's inherited, I have a great objective stay focused ❤️ !BBH !LOL !ALIVE

This round is my main pile! I got about 400 of these guys!
Cheers friend!
😲 Wow, that's amazing! I guess it's better that I'm starting late though, than never. 😄
Welp, looks like a clear cut case of stackitis!
Welcome to the club 😅
Oh, definitely. If there was any doubt, it'll be removed by what I'm about to post. 😅
Welcome to the SGS!
MM is great and like @silverd510, since he introduced me to them, are my go to as well.
Can’t wait to see what you share in the future.
Thank you!
I'm already planning my next share, as I know I have one coin (albeit in terrible condition) that will qualify. I'll have to check through my ancient and neglected collection to see if I have any others as well.
Glad you got to take advantage of the deal. Monument Metals is my go to on line dealer.
I can absolutely see why!
They look nice indeed.
They will remain special, as they are your first ones ! :)
