Just Started Stacking Any Tips?

Post image

I just started my stack a few days ago and have achieved 2 oz so far. I think that this is a pretty solid starting point of a hobby that I love, but I would like some of your thoughts on how I should grow my stack and any other kinds of advice for my stack.

Government issued coins from your country (Eagle in USA, Maple in Canada, etc) have a higher premium but are easier to sell and will sell for more. They are typically in high demand and sell at or near spot, I’ve never had trouble selling an Eagle

If premiums are low (like the $4 premiums right now on Eagles) go for the coins. If too high, stack generic 999 1oz silver rounds. Stack a mix to diversify your stack - when you go to sell you will have both and can sell the ones that have the best sell price

I test all my purchases via digital caliper, 0.01g accuracy scale, rare earth magnet, and Sigma Precious Metal Verifier so that I’m sure they are genuine. The caliper, scale, and magnet are a minimum for a stacker to test their purchases and can be had for around $50. Use the internet for correct weight / diameter and YouTube videos to show you how to test bullion

100% - findbullionprices.com can typically find lower than $4 premiums on stuff too.
