I'm a big Engelhard fan, which makes up a lot of my stack.  Here are some pics as examples.  The tubes are full of Prospectors.  Got many old pour 5 and 10 oz bars, as well as oddball sizes, such as 3, 6 and 7 ounce bars.

I came across this at my LCS a few years back and had to have it.  I think I paid $25 over spot.   Haven’t seen another since, and probably won’t sell it.  Great addition to my Engelhard collection.  
 

Here’s a 2005 Series 1 Perth Mint Lunar Rooster Kilo colorized coin Collector’s Edition.  Picked it up from my LCS who keeps me in mind when Perth stuff comes in.  Got it for $3 over spot a few years back.  Pictures don’t do it justice.

I just throw my coins with milk spots into a scrap bullion box for future sale.  The eraser just dulls the finish, and the coin is still in rough shape.  Save the time and either sell it or save for future sale when the price goes up.  I've run into many spotted coins from the Perth Mint.  It's a real shame because the coins are otherwise beautiful.  Terrible quality control.  I used to buy mint boxes from Perth, and the rolls inside would almost always have a few spotted coins.  

Can't say I've ever seen it in gold.
Congratulations and a very nice coin.

Buy small ziploc bags on eBay.  Label the bag and pop the coin in.  Store similar coins together in larger bags.  No sense in ruining a capsule.  Throw bags in old monster boxes.  Label box with a number, and update your inventory spreadsheet with the box number next to each item in the box.

I wish I was stacking at 18! Add another 10 years on and that's me. I have always been curious how old most people on here are.

my son but I am his rep on here, hes 12 and has over 2kg of silver already....

I am 72 and have been a stacker/collector since 2013 when I started to doubt the value of our fiat money. Precious metals are the only real money in our system today, I use it for wealth preservation purposes.
My 43 year old daughter and my 14 year old granddaughter both have the bug. They must have caught the virus from me eh!

I know these are your resolutions, but in this economy, if you are able bodied,  I’d say make money any way you can and sock it away.  Unless the job is physically draining you, milk it for what it’s worth.  I think we’re in for a major economic reset, layoffs, real estate and market crash.  It will be nice to have some extra cash and more PMs on hand when the SHTF.  

I’ve been through Hurricane Sandy in the states, and lost access to one of my properties for a few weeks.  A more likely SHTF scenario for those that live on a coast, or in an area prone to natural disasters, is an evacuation as a result of a disaster.  What will you do with your PMs, considering you may lose access to your property for an extended period of time?  
 
I have found that monster boxes from ASE’s or maples, or a similarly strong and manageable container, is a great option to make your PMs more portable.  Keep a few rolls of duct tape on hand by your stack to quickly wrap around the boxes and toss in your vehicle.  Have a hand truck or collapsible cart on hand as well.  There as so many variables to plan for, so no one solution will work for all.
