I started out very lost and made decisions that I later found weren't to my liking. So I sold it all off focused on what I truly enjoyed holding and researching. I decided to ignore the "stacker" and embrace the historical collector in me. I have a WW2 homefront collection. Including walkers, mercs, coin bracelets sent back to loved ones with inscriptions, etc. I also collected the shell casing lincoln cents, war nickels, short snorters, etc. So yes, there's lots of silver in my collection, but other stuff, too. Like sterling silver star pins for the sons serving, forget me not inscribed bracelets for Christmas, valentines Day, and fathers Day. There's something magical to hand over a coin to a non coin person and describe that year of 1814. The white house is in ashes, capital hill is in rubble, New Orleans has 5500 professional british troops coming ashore. It's pretty easy to imagine when holding a coin that was there! Yes, its silver, or copper, yes its got value, but it tells a story. That shiny bullion round just doesn't grab my attention like a dusty, beat-up coin that's 210 years old. So, I stack historical metals, usually circulated or close to cull. I'll get ms65 or ms66 in the first types, but my love is the survivor coin. The coin that has a square hole from a square nail. The coin with two holes in the middle from a homemade toy for a child from long ago. My choices aren't the most profitable, but I always have a coin on me to share a cool story with a stranger. I've even carried a wildman thaler, just to ask if they knew Bigfoot had a coin from 1664. So that's my stacking perspective, right or wrong, it's very much close to my heart. Hope this inspires a new collector that doesn't know what to do.
@@russelldavidson8417 I’m a ongoing collector first and a stacker second, all of my stack was purchased in 2018 and I’m always saying how much is enough. Now as a coin collector, I’m into history as well starting with 8 reale cobs to pillar dollars to current ASE.

The one regret I have is buying four rolls of quarters from that big online bullion dealer. I got stiffed with about a roll of very smooth very light SLQ's that were mixed in with the 4 rolls of "average circulated" quarters. We are talking 20% of their weight was gone. So a significant amount. I only buy my 90% from my LCS now.
@@Steelythestacker I’m in the same boat, all my stacking silver bullion was purchased locally even though my certified slab silver coins are purchased online and are currently maintain along with cost averaging and getting one or two rarer coins per year.
@@StatesideStash nah. That one with bullion in the name. When I bought them I didn't know any better. It wasn't until months later I realized the issue. They gave me a good deal on tubes of maples and a decent deal on fractional gold, but the 90% rolls were not average circulated coins. It was too late by the time I figured it out to call them and complain so I just refined them and turned them into 9999 silver crystals with a silver cell.
90% is only going to get more rare as time goes on. It might be pretty plentiful now, but it’s going to be very interesting to see down the line! Great video bro.
I get where you are going with CC getting rarer to buy, but I think what we will witness is it just being spread around more/thinner when we get into the fan stuff.

I think silver rounds are still the best way to get the most silver for your buck, and I think the silver maples(post2018),britannias and philarmonic and krugerands have less premium than eagles and are still recognized worldwide. junk silver is my third choice (which are a bargain right now premium wise). You are spot on on your gold choices :)
I AGREE ABOUT THE TYPE 1 EAGLES. I OWN A FEW TYPE 2 EAGLES, ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE A GOOD PRICE. I BUY THE TYPE 1 EAGLE OF ANY YEAR, BUT I CONCENTRATE ON THE 1986 AND THE 2021 TYPE 1 EAGLES, THE FIRST AND LAST YEARS OF MINTING. BUT ALSO THE 94, 95, AND 1996 YEARS ARE ALSO COLLECTABLES BECAUSE OF THE NUMBERS MINTED. SO YOU ARE STACKING AND COLLECTING SIMULTANEOUSLY. AND I HAVE TO CONFESS I ALSO LIKE THE MORGANS FROM THE 1800S AND THE EARLY PEACE DOLLARS.
I’m new to stacking; Less than 2 years. But I agree with your perspective. If I could go back I would stack differently as far as what types of coins I was buying. For example: I bought a few first strikes myself and proofs and I look back on them and I wonder what I was thinking now that I’m a little more savvy and slightly less ignorant. Beautiful coins but not really what I was trying to accomplish.
I started out pre covid purchasing things I liked. I quickly transitioned to buying stuff as close to spot to get the most bang for my buck. I still continue with that ideology buying solely 90% and cheap generic rounds. Also culled American eagles when they are in the discount bin.
Maples carry lower premiums, both silver and gold (the gold is 24k gold) very recognizable coins worldwide! But I also agree about the constitutional silver, I really like that stuff And they are still sovereign coins, I think owning a sovereign countries coins is a must, but of course, at the lowest premium possible
I started stacking about a year ago. I love the Libertads too. Last October when silver dipped below $22 an ounce I loaded up on 23 silver 1 onzas. My regret? Shoulda bought more but that’s hindsight. No regrets when I pull those tubes outta the safe. Was I tempted to sell them with the recent run up of silver? Yes. I resisted the urge to sell. I agree. I am a much bigger fan of the reverse proof Libertads than the normal proofs. Are they beautiful? Sure. Just reverse proof will always be more rare/ valuable. I am currently stalking the market. Always an eye on things and where to get good deals. Them 2024 LIbertads will probably be out in a month or two…. Last year was just dumb luck with a low spot price and the release of Libertads.
My gold and silver stack is so small - I wouldn't changed anything. I am starting to document my stack now. At first I was just buying and putting away, but now i'm curious to its value. It's probably around $20,000 or so I'm guessing. I am also a player in the stock market, hence my username. I am not good, but recovering from losses. Luckily I put money away in silver/gold/diamonds/sapphires/rubies/etc incase I made a mistake in the market which I unfortionately did on a damaging level. Luckily I still had around $30,000 in the account to recoup my losses which I am sharing on youtube under this account. With that being said, how do you primarily fund your stack? Work income? Investment income? Thank you for your time responding to my inquiry.
💯 nice stack ! S..S. Sale me one the 5oz Libertads . Or let me know what kind of deal you got on buying the roll !!! And who from . I haven't been at stacking long but every time i see one of them i buy it at the L.c.s. around here which isn't often . I see 5 of them i say load all of them up now . Something about the angel of freedom on that coin & the story that goes with it just hit me ! Love them Libertads . Thx. As usual, and for not picking on me for stacking differently than the stackers Delight Club . Kidding! Lol.
Great video and very informative as always I think I would buy more bars if I were to start over. That being said I'm happy where my stack is. Some premium pieces to admire and some generic to stash away
I made the same mistake with a first strike early on and had insta buyers remorse. Should have gotten a regular ounce and then some silver instead…or some whiskey or really anything other than money wasted on premium. Anyway I really enjoy your content, keep posting!
I prefer the Eagle on the Type 2 and the USA text placement on the Type 1. I’m hoping for the 40th anniversary of the Eagle they use the walking liberty half reverse design.
I bought 20 of the 1/10th ozt gold coins. 10 of them are from around the world because I thought it would be more fun. 10 are eagles. I wish I would have just got all eagles because they hold their value and sell easier in this area.
Excellent suggestions. I kinda wish instead of buying rounds I would have just bought constitutional. But thats ok. I love it all. I like to stack for weight. Then every now and then buy a nice piece with a higher premium just to keep it interesting.
silver buffalo or prospecter rounds are the best..closest to spot ..constitutional can be tricky especially morgans or peace..the have two faces..collectable or spot silver...which can leave you at a loss.
I think if you buy the Morgan’s and peace raw from an LCS you’re fine, it’s when you start to buy graded ones and not knowing what you’re doing where you can lose a lot of money
Solid choice for a stack when found at a good price especially. The missing reed... 😂 shameful, when so much more could be done for the price. Hard to beat Pre-33 gold. I like a mix of metals. Some with and without attachments of emotion.
When I started in January, I naively assumed that online was the way to go; that was a huge lesson. LCS is the way to go, as in $40 cheaper for a 1/10 and 1/4 AGE than online. And I would not waste my time and money on Apmex bars or Apmex anything for that matter. But I love my first silver bar: a Bison Bullion hand pour 10 ouncer!
Great Info, yes and I agree. I love the type one Silver eagles a lot better, the eagle is much stronger looking than the weaker version of type two I will gladly save a dollar per coin by buying the random American Eagles went on sale. With my budget, I buy quarter ounce gold coins, whichever coin is cheapest whether it’s Philharmonic maples or retainers or a great sale for American eagles too
I’d stay with my bars and rounds 🤔 but I’m never buying premium coins again, I.e. kookaburra, there’s no profit from them, it’s just eye candy. Still saying no on the junk silver though. But this is why we all have options 😎 Good vid 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow I used to listen to Eminem back in the 70s to 😂 My regret is when I started looking online and thinking wow what an amazing deal $80 for 24 morgans and yes I was younger but the listing even said they were morgan silver dollars, no where on it did they say plated and I still have that picture saved on my phone to this day to remember if it seems to good to be true it 💯 % is...
I am not sure I'd change a thing IF I were to start stacking at the age I did 25+ years ago. I'd seek the most recognizable, most liquid form of silver and gold that my predetermined budget would buy. Once at a comfortable amount in my stack, I might splurge on some real pretty premium pieces. IF I were starting out at my current age of 65, I would take a certain percentage of my liquid net worth and cash and buy a monster box of type 1 silver eagles, one thousand pretty BU Roosevelt dimes, and the rest on GOLD eagles, buffalos, maples, and fractionals.
I don’t have any huge regrets since I’ve mostly bought sovereign coins when they’ve been on sale with a low premium, but I think I would have bought fewer coins and more 10 oz bars to maximize my ounces per dollar.
Good content Brother! I’d have to say “ MAYBE “ not as many Silver Libertads but definitely way more Generic bars Rounds ! But hey tomorrow is a new day!
Hey Stateside. I know in another video and in the comments below, you have people asking about why Libertads are called coins and not rounds. Banco de Mexico says they are legal tender and value fluctuates with value of the metal. You can use it just like all money. I've never been to Mexico to try this, but that's why it's a coin and not a round.
I’m strictly for sovereign coinage as well as boarding countries like Canada and Mexico. When in need to sell I always try to get the most when selling plus what happens to the LCS when SHTF, can they be trusted and what about the development of the Bullion Banks will they except any kind of silver or just sovereign. There is NO guarantee that your generic gold or silver in any form will be excepted at these newly developed bullion banks. For me I can not assume this or that or even what if.
I hate these “What If” scenarios. No matter how I search I’m not really getting my questions answered, but for sure everybody has their opinions and if my PMs are going to be used for food and essentials maybe this is where we should be investing. Regardless when SHTF you will never get spot especially during the first few months.
My only "regret" would be not starting when I was much younger. Oh, and your thing about the Libertad, premium yes, but they're also a sovereign coin recognized globally.
Me I am now 71, If I could start over, I would go into Gold First Pre 1933. Instead, I went Poor man's gold," silver." No regrets I made money...My fear is my Kids put us back into the dollar I spent the later parts of my life getting out of..... . The fake dollar backed by nothing Just ordered a tube of mint sealed type II at about 6.00 over spot. just to have the last year IMO The dollar is dead.
I'd just buy genuine silver and gold. There's a thousand videos talking about this, they're all going on about next to nothing. Nobody cares what exact rounds someone buys et al., etc. Just buy genuine metal for as cheap as possible and you're done. Everything else is cosmetic (overpriced).
I bought some trash 2 weeks ago. 27.00 a piece. 1992 Olympic set, some others....Im guessing they are sterling silver. Gonna trade them in for gold or some dimes.... I was drinking, bad buy in my book.
Technically you’re right but since a government mint makes them people like to refer to them as coins instead of grouping them in with low quality rounds
Why are your thoughts on certified slab coins so negative, have you not searched ebay completed and sold categories and noticed not only what they are selling for as well as the volume of sold transactions. There is definitely a difference in premiums between raw and certified. So I’m assuming you are only a stacker and not a collector and only purchase locally.
@@sailfly2869 Stack first, collect second.... I have a lot of nice collectable coins definitely ms65 or better not slabbed. i wasn't being negative towards slabs, they just are not a good way to stack. Which is what this show was about... The premiums and inflated value of a slabbed coin are a nice way to collect and preserve specimens, but if things go south would you be willing to crack open a ms67 CC Morgan ,only get silver spot price for it to pay for groceries or trade for essentials.
NO NO NO! Dont do it.. I will never buy junk silver / constitutional silver ever. Nobody knows what the hell it is and people will look at you sideways trying to buy something with a dime nickel or quarter lol you have to convince them that it's worth something and they're not going to be convinced in a SHTF scenario. Stick to the nice shiny silver rounds and coins that say 1 oz 999 find silver. You don't have to convince people what it is because it says what it is and it's nice and shiny not dirty shity looking coins. Trust me bro don't do it. I'll tell you what the 90% silver stands for, it stands for 90% of people don't know what the f*** it is..
We must run in different circle cause I’ve never had a problem buying/selling or discussing constitutional silver with anyone. I remember you saying in past videos you don’t like it but many many people do
Another thing, in the SHTF situation, people are going to learn about precious metals very quickly or they won't survive. The people that don't understand 90% will learn very quickly.
People who don't understand 90% also don't know what the heck a generic round or an American silver eagle is either. Also, You can refine old silver coins into bars and rounds but you cant do vice versa. 90% is getting rarer as time goes by
@@StatesideStash Can't wait for those bro....I know it will be good. As for me I'm still roll hunting for that 1950 D Nickel, some teases today with a couple war nickels that I promptly took out of circulation, but 52's and 53's and 57's......I feel I'm getting close.
For me right now. SIVER EAGLES AS MANY AS I CAN GET AND I WHOLE HEARTEDKY AGREE ON TYPE ONE WITH JOHN MERCANTTI(SPELLING) DESIGN ON THE COIN. ONLY OTHER THING IS I WISH I HAD YOUR CHECBOOK. LMAO!

Welcome to the family brotha!
I started out very lost and made decisions that I later found weren't to my liking. So I sold it all off focused on what I truly enjoyed holding and researching. I decided to ignore the "stacker" and embrace the historical collector in me. I have a WW2 homefront collection. Including walkers, mercs, coin bracelets sent back to loved ones with inscriptions, etc. I also collected the shell casing lincoln cents, war nickels, short snorters, etc. So yes, there's lots of silver in my collection, but other stuff, too. Like sterling silver star pins for the sons serving, forget me not inscribed bracelets for Christmas, valentines Day, and fathers Day. There's something magical to hand over a coin to a non coin person and describe that year of 1814.

My regret is when I started looking online and thinking wow what an amazing deal $80 for 24 morgans and yes I was younger but the listing even said they were morgan silver dollars, no where on it did they say plated and I still have that picture saved on my phone to this day to remember if it seems to good to be true it 💯 % is...
Eminem is my jam!
I am not sure I'd change a thing IF I were to start stacking at the age I did 25+ years ago.
I'd seek the most recognizable, most liquid form of silver and gold that my predetermined budget would buy.
Once at a comfortable amount in my stack, I might splurge on some real pretty premium pieces.
IF I were starting out at my current age of 65, I would take a certain percentage of my liquid net worth and cash and buy a monster box of type 1 silver eagles,
one thousand pretty BU Roosevelt dimes, and the rest on GOLD eagles, buffalos, maples, and fractionals.
Hope you’re doing well brother!
@@StatesideStash ... TY, Sir.
It's a slow roll comeback, but I am making progress.
@@silversleuth007 hell yeah!
I don’t have any huge regrets since I’ve mostly bought sovereign coins when they’ve been on sale with a low premium, but I think I would have bought fewer coins and more 10 oz bars to maximize my ounces per dollar.
This is a good point. I love my coins don’t get me wrong but if you really wanna grow the stack bars are the way to go
Good content Brother! I’d have to say “ MAYBE “ not as many Silver Libertads but definitely way more Generic bars Rounds ! But hey tomorrow is a new day!
Hope you had a great start to the week!
Sunshine silver with the SI mintmark on the reverse!!😃
Where do you buy from
My LCS or monument metals
Cant go wrong with what i already stacked 100oz bars and eagles. Proofs and junk silver finds its wwy to ya eventually
Well done
Luv 😍 reverse proofs 😜🎯
They are the most beautiful coin!
Perth bullion , libertads and eagles , in any order
Absolutely!
That is the most liquid strategy.🤙🏽
Thank you brother. Liquidity is key
Hey Stateside. I know in another video and in the comments below, you have people asking about why Libertads are called coins and not rounds. Banco de Mexico says they are legal tender and value fluctuates with value of the metal. You can use it just like all money. I've never been to Mexico to try this, but that's why it's a coin and not a round.
I have also heard this! Thank you for commenting this, hopefully people read this and helps them understand
The Libertads guarantee spot price
I've found the best deals on constitutional silver at lgs's.
Lgs or LCS?
@@StatesideStash typo lcs
@@robertbush8327 ok haha I was like wait does he know somewhere to buy that I don’t?
I would just buy generic silver rounds and bars. And if I was buying gold, I would stick to gold buffaloes.
Solid way to buy
The eminem quote is always a win lol
Haha always!!!
For me 90 present doesn't do it. I love silver Buffalows and ten oz bars.
Beauty of stacking is there’s no wrong way!
Was hoping you weren’t going to quote Eminem so I could comment that 😂
@@mr.btheband haha I have an old audience who would never have caught it
That 96.7% OZ of pure “silver” looks just like gold! You know where I could get one? 😉😜
“Did I say silver earlier?” 😂 he almost caught himself 🤷🏻♂️
I get mine at coin shows! Aren’t they beautiful
i need to find me a coin show like that!
I’m strictly for sovereign coinage as well as boarding countries like Canada and Mexico. When in need to sell I always try to get the most when selling plus what happens to the LCS when SHTF, can they be trusted and what about the development of the Bullion Banks will they except any kind of silver or just sovereign. There is NO guarantee that your generic gold or silver in any form will be excepted at these newly developed bullion banks. For me I can not assume this or that or even what if.
It’s hard to say what would or wouldn’t be acceptable by a trusted LCS in a SHTF scenario
I hate these “What If” scenarios. No matter how I search I’m not really getting my questions answered, but for sure everybody has their opinions and if my PMs are going to be used for food and essentials maybe this is where we should be investing. Regardless when SHTF you will never get spot especially during the first few months.
My only "regret" would be not starting when I was much younger.
Oh, and your thing about the Libertad, premium yes, but they're also a sovereign coin recognized globally.
I think we all regret not starting earlier 😢
I'd get more silver dollars early on. And a little more gold.
Like Morgan’s and peace dollars or eagles?
Me I am now 71, If I could start over, I would go into Gold First Pre 1933. Instead, I went Poor man's gold," silver." No regrets I made money...My fear is my Kids put us back into the dollar I spent the later parts of my life getting out of.....
. The fake dollar backed by nothing Just ordered a tube of mint sealed type II at about 6.00 over spot. just to have the last year IMO The dollar is dead.
The direction the dollar is heading is definitely concerning
I'd just buy genuine silver and gold. There's a thousand videos talking about this, they're all going on about next to nothing. Nobody cares what exact rounds someone buys et al., etc. Just buy genuine metal for as cheap as possible and you're done. Everything else is cosmetic (overpriced).
Some people have preferences 🤷🏼♂️
Dimes!
This video brought to you by moms spaghetti.
Knees weak?
I bought some trash 2 weeks ago. 27.00 a piece. 1992 Olympic set, some others....Im guessing they are sterling silver. Gonna trade them in for gold or some dimes.... I was drinking, bad buy in my book.
Never drink and buy PMs 🤣
@@StatesideStash LMAO..... werd!!!!!
@soulpatchjackson3076 Beer goggles. Better than you, waking up next to an ugly woman and having to chew your arm off at the elbow to get away.
You did say that your double eagle was silver by accident lol
I knew it! I wasn’t gonna restart the video 🤣
@@StatesideStash great video!
Why do they call libertads coins instead of rounds? They dont have face value on it.
Technically you’re right but since a government mint makes them people like to refer to them as coins instead of grouping them in with low quality rounds
Aren’t the Libertads based on spot for face value that is printed on the coin?. I’m not sure please correct me.
If you're buying it, ya better be willing to die with it!
@@chassisresearchkid long term hold!
9 mile….. I’ll start calling you Stan. 😎
@@edwardhubbard9769 🤣
only way i know how to describe the Gold Buffalo finish is “leathery” ? 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t like that 🤢
@@StatesideStash not a fan of leather? ha
Buy the coin not the holder ... build relationships with like minded people in your community especially your LCS.
Your LCS is your most important relationship
Why are your thoughts on certified slab coins so negative, have you not searched ebay completed and sold categories and noticed not only what they are selling for as well as the volume of sold transactions. There is definitely a difference in premiums between raw and certified. So I’m assuming you are only a stacker and not a collector and only purchase locally.
@@sailfly2869 Stack first, collect second.... I have a lot of nice collectable coins definitely ms65 or better not slabbed. i wasn't being negative towards slabs, they just are not a good way to stack. Which is what this show was about... The premiums and inflated value of a slabbed coin are a nice way to collect and preserve specimens, but if things go south would you be willing to crack open a ms67 CC Morgan ,only get silver spot price for it to pay for groceries or trade for essentials.

@@chassisresearchkid don’t forget the 50lbs of ice and 50lbs of sprinkles
@@StatesideStash when it comes to barter, what do people need? Can eat, wipe, or wear silver. Trench foot sucks. You should know that.
NO NO NO! Dont do it.. I will never buy junk silver / constitutional silver ever. Nobody knows what the hell it is and people will look at you sideways trying to buy something with a dime nickel or quarter lol you have to convince them that it's worth something and they're not going to be convinced in a SHTF scenario. Stick to the nice shiny silver rounds and coins that say 1 oz 999 find silver. You don't have to convince people what it is because it says what it is and it's nice and shiny not dirty shity looking coins. Trust me bro don't do it. I'll tell you what the 90% silver stands for, it stands for 90% of people don't know what the f*** it is..
We must run in different circle cause I’ve never had a problem buying/selling or discussing constitutional silver with anyone. I remember you saying in past videos you don’t like it but many many people do
Another thing, in the SHTF situation, people are going to learn about precious metals very quickly or they won't survive. The people that don't understand 90% will learn very quickly.
@@Steelythestacker exactly
People who don't understand 90% also don't know what the heck a generic round or an American silver eagle is either. Also, You can refine old silver coins into bars and rounds but you cant do vice versa. 90% is getting rarer as time goes by
