Personally, I treat PM’s as an alternative savings account… if I stuck some notes in a drawer, they’d be gone when the next interesting gadget appeared! 😁
But this way, I have the value without the easy spending ability- and they’re nice to look at and collect… was determined to just be a stacker, but have already been tempted my the charms of the more unique and semi-numismatic offerings - Have a 1oz proof Seymour Panther arriving later today 🤭😂
I’d also say it’s worth having an exit strategy too - how are you going to convert the stack in to actual money when you need / want to? Have read comments from many others on the forum on this subject, and it makes much sense.
Selling 100’s of ounce’s one by one on eBay and the like would give the best return, but only if done one by one or small amounts and would take an age! 😳
Once I have a reasonable amount (reasonable to me, that is) I plan to start selling some of the oddities or ones that are a single of a particular coin for example, using the funds generated to put towards different bullion, a proof or two or perhaps some gold?
One size never fits all, but generally, I’d say a way of getting out of your PM’s would be a good thing to establish sooner rather than later. If you already have a reputation for selling PM’s on whichever platform(s) you chose, it’ll be easier when the time comes to move a larger amount IMHO 😏

Have you reached 500oz yet? It's surely only a matter of time  

Thanks again for all the comments and advice! 🙌🏻
I think I now have closer to 200oz of silver, it’s become a bit of an addiction! 😳
I have a couple of items due to arrive this week, then I’m going to try and calm down a bit. Although saying that, I’ve just signed up to the full 10 coin series of the Tudor Beasts 🤦🏻‍♂️

Silver is the pringles of metals - once you pop you cant stop!

Four more varieties added today. 

Gold 1/4 oz Panther. First 2 showed up today. Looking forward to another plus the 20z and 1oz silvers. 


 

 
 

Picked up 6 of the latest Egyptian Gods series rounds from Provident.  Sekhmet 2 oz.

I know a kilo silver bar shouldn't be particularly exciting, but I really love the pour lines on this one!

I'm a big fan of the pre 1920s. Also I think toning can add to the character of the coin. There is a seller here who always has some nice bits. (Apologies I can't remember who sold this coin, just took a screenshot ages ago).

Bought these from my local bullion dealer in town. He checked both in front of me with his XRF probe and both came up good. One being an 1881 San Fransisco mintmark and the other an 1883 New Orleans mintmark.
Whilst I was in there he told me I was lucky to get the 2.5 gram gold bar I bought the other week for £100 as he thought it was only 2 grams. He never asked for the difference though.

Bought 2 better quality Australia Sovereigns,  1870 & 1861.
Got the tracking nr today 🤠🤠🤠🥳

Thanks, 10 koronas are really nice coins for a date run, although maybe a bit too small for me, I prefer a bit larger diameters
By the way, in my experience, their date runs are nowadays usually assembled without those rarest years 1895 and 1915 or those years are substituted by restrikes/replicas. The remaining 22 years can still be obtained, although several rarer years are more difficult to find in better grades - but that's part of the beauty of collecting a date run - it should never be too easy! 

My recent pick up's. All from the forum.
A couple of sovs, both proof and bullion and also a couple of 2oz libertads so that I don't forget my routes 
A huge thank you to who all whom I have bought from 👍

I eventually gave up trying to source a fully proof set of these 2oz. beauties. Still glad I picked the set up though, a very stunning range from Pheli Mint (they're also very reasonably priced I feel), who are currently teasing another release in the not-too-distant future.
 
I also regret to announce that I have already met the same fate as @Gordy and have lost the entire set in a terribly unfortunate boating accident. While the pictures don't do them justice, they are the only memories I now have of them.
 

Last arrive from USA
 

Picked up a nice chunky piece of gold on Saturday, and the proof set arrived Monday.

Both graded ms70
5oz antiqued Zeus & Poseidon with a mintage of 50 each. ⛈️

The Ups delivery truck brought me these little stunners today 🤩 I have a extra one for sell if anyone is interested, I’m not too bothered as I could just stare at them all god damm day! 😍

They are 10 koronas, 1894 / 1904 / 1905 / 1910 / 1911.
Was planing to do a date run, but after i found out there are, i think 2 dates very rare and crazy expansive i canceled that idea. 🙂

No need to be excessively humble - that's not just a stack but a beautiful collection! What year are those Hungarian 10 (20?) koronas if I may ask?
