    Im going back and forth between PM and Scottsdale 10oz.The Lion is more appealing but the PM is slightly cheaper

    Any thoughts?

    Silver is silver is silver is silver.

    The value is in the weight not the pretty picture!

    Buy the cheaper of the two.

    I go for the stacker every time. I'm actually looking at swapping two pm for southern cross.

    PM, nothing outstanding in scottsdales or other stacker bars in my view.
    They are just bars.
    I would like some of those stamped 100oz bars GP was offering though.

    Buy what you like, you're more likely to keep it longer if you do.

    Um, actually they're more like "classic weighed shot placed in moulds put through an industrial pizza oven style kiln" - no hand pouring involved!

    I've noticed most of those stacker bars end up looking scuffed once their actually been stacked, seems like the edges are not that kind to each other.

    ^^what he said
    Let's all come back in two years and review this :)
    I recall a similar thread in '08 where a guy contemplated getting into physical silver.
    I wonder if his foot and butt have healed...

    If ya can't afford both right now, I'd jones for the stacker.. I've always wanted some of those. Maybe someday :/
