    Any silver stackers here? Silver over $66/ounce now.

    I got into silver stacking about 15 years ago for a few years. I was buying at $18-$22 an ounce then. Prior to that, I was into coin collecting so I separated all my pre-1965 coins to add to my stack. My current stack is still quite small, around 200 ounces. But at today's spot price, that's over $12,000. Not too bad.

      Are you complaining or bragging? 😁

              Stopped buying when it was around $20. Switched to lead.

              With lead I can get silver and gold

                Hell, I have all the lead I could ever want. Years ago when my kid was in Scouts and we were building pinewood derby cars I sent my wife down to the tire shop to ask for some used lead wheel weights.

                Either she didn’t understand the assignment or they thought I needed lead for the entire PNW Region, but she came home with a steel bucket holding about 3 gallons of lead weights. “They were so nice they even loaded it in my van for me!”

                  My dad had about a ton in lead when he died. My next door neighbors casts fishing weights as a business and buys 5 tons at a time. Last time I cast bullets I poured about 100 for my .45-70 and said F-it

                I was buying pre-64 silver dimes, quarters and the 64 silver Kennedy halves but the price has gone insane, there the most easily recognized form of good silver there is, I stay away from .999 silver bars.

                  I stack lead, copper and brass. 100 rounds of 55gr 5.56mm weighs EXACTLY one pound. THAT... worth/value....when used properly and in a prudent manner, can and may, very possibly... mean the difference between your life and your death.

                  After TEOTWAWKI I see gold and silver as having little value to me. You can't eat the stuff. "Power flows from the barrel of a rifle."

                    Why is silver outperforming gold? What to know before you invest.

                    Gold and silver prices have been on a tear, with silver prices increasing by more than 100% year to date. Experts weigh in on what could be causing these record highs.

                      Have to admit, with the price of silver I’ve looked into melting down the silverware I have stored in a box. Realistically by the time I build a furnace, get a crucible, and all the other stuff I would need it’s just not worth the effort.

                        Over $70 this morning. That's the dollar losing value, not silver becoming more valuable.

                          I didn't get mine fir free, but I bought several 5 gallon buckets of lead weights at $5.00 a bucket. And I have a couple hundred pounds of pure lead that my son got from a hospital xray room when the walls were removed.

                            Silver is just moving to where it is supposed to be.
