Began collecting in 1965. My parents became aware the coins were no longer silver, so we started keeping any old silver coins found in circulation. And my mother got me one of those blue albums to collect Lincoln pennies.

Began stacking for weight after the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market, ca. 1980.

sounds like we are about the same age. jim

I'm still not 100% sure I would call myself a stacker. Have picked up around 100oz of silver and about 3oz of gold in the last couple of years.

Problem is I have a penchant for old pennies and a few other bits and bobs so whenever there is a spare few quid it's a toss up between bullion or something more numismatic.. depends on the mood.

In terms of investing I find better returns can be had on the markets - funds making 10 - 15% CAGR for example, but do appreciate bullion as a store of wealth and can see why folk would do it more 'full on' that I do.

Been stacking 'proper' since October 2018. Nearly filled my Britannia silver :( monster box and have 4 runs of the QBs series, again all in silver :( Also have some random bits and pieces so at about 550 oz of silver, just over 2 oz of gold and 2x 1/10 platinum Britannia's. For every silver tube I buy I get 1 extra coin/round to add to my 'fondle' stack. I recommend all stackers do this although I'm sure most are already lol.

I find this more 'interesting' than cryptos (which I have some of) purely because I can actually fondle these :D

Yep, I'm Dutch. 😊 En die van mij komt 'slechts' uit 2000. Vond ik gewoon een leuk jaartal, en er zit niet idioot veel premium op, dus het leek mij een mooie instapper in dat segment.

Succes met de zoektocht naar de hele oude dukaten. 👍 Mag ik vragen welke je allemaal al hebt?
