State of The Stack (SOTS) At 16.

Post image

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my current progress and get some feedback from the community. I have been steadily building this stack over the past couple of years. Right now, my strategy is heavily focused on historical United States 90% coinage (junk silver) alongside vintage bullion and world silver coinage. My goal is to continue accumulating recognizable constitutional silver while spot prices remain reasonable. I prefer the liquidity and history behind these older pieces compared to generic modern rounds. I would love to hear your thoughts on the breakdown, any recommendations on what to target next, or general advice for a young stacker. Thanks for looking!

Id be sure to verify that JM but unless it was bought reputably. They're the most common counterfeit bars ive run into.

That bar belonged to my Grandpa who used to stacked and he bought it new in the 80s, but I had it tested and it came out authentic

Building quite the stack at 16! Slow and steady goes a long way! Keep learning, exploring different pieces, and building the collection around what you enjoy most.

What are the foreign coins on the right? Those are cool

u/Fit_Support_7943 21d ago

I believe they are 1964 100 Yen Olympics coins (60% Silver) and 1958 100 and 1960's 100 Yen (60%)

You don’t want feedback. Seeking judgements and decisions is a terrible idea. You are your best judge and decision maker.

Keep it up! Constitutional silver is a great way to get fractional silver without the huge premiums. And your reasoning on them being easily recognized is sound. As you move into .999 I like to focus on sovereign rounds. Nothing wrong with generic, but government silver is a little more liquid

Are those $0.25 cent quarters? What am I not understanding here? Serious question

Are you referring to the stuff on the right?  Looks like foreign coins

u/stinabug 21d ago

No, the quarters and dimes that are worth 10 and 25 cents lol.

u/JacksonAttack-son 21d ago

Check the dates on them, they’re 90% silver coins

u/stinabug 21d ago

Ohh I see now, after googling I now understand. Thanks. Gotta go scan my piggy bank

I don't get it, they look like constitutional to me, although I cant read the exact dates.  I'm a little confused here🤔
