I bought something from Scottsdale Mint so it was an opportunity to get another of their Stacker Round. The price has not increased from the last time I purchased one, so it saved me some deliberation about whether I was going to get it or not.
The Scottsdale KILO Stacker, weighing a full kilo of fine silver, is the largest Silver Stacker available. The smallest Silver Stackers are 2-ounce rounds, which this is. Among Scottsdale Mint's most well-liked silver items are the 10-ounce Silver Stacker and the 100 troy ounce King Stacker. Do you have a 100 ounce Silver Stacker?
Given my limited budget, I can only stack 2 ounces at a time.
Two Troy Ounces of.999 Fine Silver is Scottsdale Mint's original Stacker® Round. It interlocks and stacks with the other two sizes, 5 oz and 10 oz. It's genuinely a new class of precious metal with Ultra High relief definition, not quite a coin or bar. Made in the USA, 999 Pure Silver.
On the obverse is the mint's logo, a male lion’s head with a crown atop it. The lion’s massive mane and imposing stare jump off the obverse face in a brilliant 3D, ultra-high-relief striking.1
High relief coins are more three-dimensional than a standard coins. These coins cannot be easily stacked because their images extend above the outer edge. On ultra-high relief coins, the image rises even higher. These coins elevate the level of detail that can be seen and felt in the image. Collectors often note that high relief coins and ultra-high relief coins feel more like a medallion, pendant or even a tiny sculpture than a standard coin. Collectors can expect mints to charge a higher premium for high relief and ultra-high relief coins, as these coins require special presses and repeated strikes.

This is the back of the coin. The reverse side carries a reverse impression of the main face. This allows the lion’s head from the obverse side of other rounds to securely fit within the inverse field on this side of the round. It is in this reverse that the inscriptions are written twice (2 troy oz. 999 Fine Silver Scottsdale Mint) and the product lineup (Stacker Round).
The Silver Stacker bars have a number of security elements, like grooved radial lines that make copying much more difficult than for a regular silver product or a special spiral pattern that integrates the Scottsdale mintmark.
The products of Scottsdale Mint has been extremely sought after by investors and collectors due to their workmanship in both their work and in guaranteeing the authenticity of the product.
Scottsdale Mint is a private facility located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
