Stacking sovereigns

[Tuck70]

Hi all, Tuck70 from Massachusetts, USA, I am an avid collector and stacker. On the collection side being from the US I prefer US coins having a complete collection of Benjamin Franklin Half Dollars 1948-1963, mostly all Full Bell Lines, A complete collection of Walking Liberty Half Dollars 1916-1948 ranging from uncirculated to good there's 65 coins in that collection which I'm kind of proud of 😀 I'm working on a Morgan Dollar collection 1878-1904, there's something about coins from the American old west that attracts me to them, thinking of how some cowboy could have flipped it on a bar or poker table out west and they're attractive in an odd sort of way I prefer coins from Carson City Mint CC which was only in existence from 1870-1893, I have a bunch of other US coins like an 1868 3 Cent coin, an 1877 Trade dollar and one I really like is a 1806 Draped Bust Half Cent in VF condition. On the Stacking side I am working towards 20 coin stacks of different sovereign coins, I already have 20 American silver eagles, 8 Canadian Maple Leafs, 5 Britannias which I think might be my favorite and 2 of Australian Kangaroos, Austrian Philharmonics and South African Krugerrands. I know it is some more money to stack sovereign coins but #1 I like them and #2 I think in the long run 10-15 yrs, I may be better off than all rounds or bars of which i have some of both also. What do you think?

Collect what you enjoy and stack what you can afford. Anything is better than fiat.

 

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!

😮well done! Buy what you like… come selling time there is always a market there. Must say that I have moved away from buying much silver to buying gold. The way spot is going, just buy what you can. Whatever you do… good luck👍👍

I find sovereigns to be very... moreish. Especially the older coins with used patinas, as you say, wondering what they were used for and what life they've seen. Welcome from another newbie.
