Wow, you’ve been in the game for forty years— a true veteran in the world of collecting and stacking, @silverd510! That's impressive. Your insights into diversifying your stack are really valuable, and I can see how your mindset has evolved over time.
You make a great point about the benefits and drawbacks of "junk silver." It's definitely handy to have your country's constitutional silver for recognizability and ease of use in times of need. Random world silver coins can indeed pose challenges due to varying silver content and the lower resale value at coin shops.
Balancing the collector's heart with practical stacking needs sounds like a smart approach. Thanks for sharing your wisdom— it's always fascinating to hear from seasoned stacker as you!
