As a tragic stacker, I'm interested to hear of your top 20 must haves in your collection; (affordable and wish list) combination of bullion, numis and what I'll call "others". Heres mine: in no particular order) 1. Round 1966 50c unc 2. 1934/35 centenary florin unc 3. PM 5oz bar 4. PM Tuvalu redback spider 5. 2000 $1 mule 6. 1966 wavy 20c 7. 1966 proof set 8. 1967 goose dollar (bonus points for both proof and milled edge in cases) 9. Every 1oz PM kook bullion coin 10.

Just a list goodies for any new stackers in the future. AFWIW - unfortunately I only have 12 of the above...
my must have 1. pandas 2. kookas 3. both lunars 4. elephants 5. kangaroos 6. koalas. 7. britannias 8. anything else that pleases my eyes but no more of low premium bullion
Gotta have as much Australian predecimal as you can hoard. Must have a Perth Mint 1 kg coin. Perth Mint 2012 1 oz koala. Philharmonics Gotta have a Silbermans gilded XAG or American Silver Eagle. PAMP 1 oz Lady Fortuna And stay tuned for my own forthcoming release. The "two bob blob". I'll have dozens of them to keep and sell. Melted post 46 florins each poured shabbily into a crappy shape. Nice!
I keep it pretty simple; PM 10oz bars Rolls of kooks (1oz) 50cent rounds Rolls of Lunars (1oz) PM 1oz Au bars I also collect the SBSS, XAG and Zombuck series and a few other bits and pieces but only for sh*ts and giggles. Certainly not in the PM game as a collector and don't touch anything that would be considered a traditional numi.
1. Silver Shot 2. Silver Lumps 3. Silver blobs 4. Silver Loafs 5. Hand poured Bars 6. Silver Solder 7. Silver Bullets
Silver blobs coming soon to a SilverStackers post near you! "Two Bob Blobs" from the House of Swoydaz!
1,000oz silver bar, why waste your time with anything else Wish I had one (or ten) Seriously though i like (but certainly don't specifically have) Perth mint 20oz bar Scottsdale 5oz poured bar 50cent round Perth mint Lunar 10oz (beautiful dimensions for a coin) Silver bullets Panda's 1oz gold blob Any poured gold bar above the 1oz blob
If you are limiting the discussion to silver... I think a small number of australian pre dec are good to have 'cause they look nice. My obsession with metal has waned. I'm still interested but I now see them just as a commodity and savings to get me to where want to be. As a result don't have any must have's anymore and definately exclude proofs and 'specialty' type coins. That said, I like the detail in philharmonics and some britannias and would prob keep some crowns when the time comes.
