I got one to check it out. Very nice silver. It is nice to mix it up from my usual stuff. Premium is a little higher than most of my other stack so I only have one.

I picked up a few of their sterling medals at an antique shop for less than spot. I'm not sure why the stuff is so cheap but you can find a lot of it at antique shops for a good deal. I won't complain :)

I like whatever I can get for spot.

This is just my opinion but I think everyone should own a few oz of gold and silver. I would be cautious about taking advice that says "all in" on it though. Just like every other asset class metals have ups and downs. Right now we are in a bear market for PM and it looks like stocks are going...

As I see it gold and silver are assets like any other. Prices go up and as we've seen in the past few years prices fall. Each have advantages and disadvantages. I'm adding to all of my asset classes: stocks, bonds, real estate (currently through REITs although I've done a little land banking for...

So I ordered a silver signet ring with my coat of arms on it. The arms are in reverse so I can make nice little wax seals to affix to all of my important documents like... ok so I can make wax seals for fun. Anyway I paid a lot over spot since it is only about 3/4th an oz. but it is very cool...

I've just completed my first milestone of stacking one tube each of silver ASEs, Maples, Libertads, Britannias and Philharmonics. I'm a bit behind on my gold so now I will be picking up Francs, Ducats, and Pesos. I love the older small coins since I can usually find them for around spot with a...

I've been waiting for the correction so I can buy on a discount. I'm looking for a little bearishness for a few months so I can load up on some assets before Xmas :)

Thanks mates. I've seriously considered Aus. coins but I've decided to stick with the 5 above. I am trying to stick to pure stacking and not collecting. I have numi coins I collect so I want to keep these two paths separate. I could see myself wanting to back fill the stack with some high...

So I should be working on the two essays I have for my 1st graduate school class (due in just a few short hours), but instead here I am at SS. I've found that if I set small goals for myself stacking and buying other investments I do a little better than if I just say, "Yeah I'll just keep...

I can't say with certainty for anyone else but for me Britannias and Philharmonics are my cheapest. ASEs and Maples are a bit higher and Libertads are my most expensive (mind you this is a <$1 difference between them all). This is based on my dollar cost average. I don't stack other coins but I...

Britannias all the way! Maples are ok but not as cool in my opinion.

Wait, New Zealand and Australia are different countries?!? Wow! Mind Blown! :)

I went to a pawnshop to see if they had anything interesting. Guy had some BU Eagles in the case. I asked how much they are and he said $35 each. I said too rich for my blood since spot is only $20 (at the time) and I was paying about $22-23 per coin online. He tried to let me know shipping is...

I've recently gotten interested in religious prints by the Jewish artist Hermann Fechenbach (http://www.hermannfechenbach.com/) and the Mexican print artist Jos Guadalupe Posada (http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/the-calaveras-of-jose-guadalupe-posada/ most famous for his political art...
