For those who know me, and as I said many times in the past, my ultimate goal is gold. With a small budget for precious metals a month, I could only afford to buy a fractional gold coin and a few silver pieces. For this reason, most of the pieces I have are 1/10 oz and 1/4 oz gold coins. ![IMG_7875.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/23u69FgxYqWrEzjA6H6X9TrWZSRZ6vdJiUkATkBMz9cfQwR9xjx1zVqaaeeZj1Q5CxJwD.jpeg)
I have not sold any silver since I started my stacking journey... until now. The **gold-to-silver ratio** *provides insight into the relative value of these two precious metals. It is calculated by dividing the current spot price of gold by the current spot price of silver.* #### Below is a 5-year chart of gold-to-silver ratio.

Just look at the chart. So, towards the end of December, I decided to trade some silver for gold. ![IMG_7876.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/23xKxZrcV27LDgF9xQiAt9rtbwVVAPA1zHn9aEKzvxNjGY9WE75GwroQWL1jBf77gr1bd.jpeg)
After calling for an appointment, I packed a few ounces of silver and headed out to a local coin shop in Sacramento. **I kept most of my silver** and exchanged some for gold.

#### At the local coin shop... I changed my mind and decided to keep two rolls my American Silver Eagles. I don't know why... **I bought them for less that $20.00**: ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/EnWKx3bVYLmhJdRS8G15kBaHYwSm6uTSoBPWLsp3g69ZZ3FGw2VHzuscAFAxa7V1jra.png)
John, the co-owner of the local coin shop, took all coin containers, which, in hindsight, I should have kept... but who cares! ![IMG_7877.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/EoCiCQY9FZdbDp76Q6UqMsP9Sq4JmPfebe3tgRV6YF6LAkudjz1NvEP8GWdHhhk9JSx.jpeg)
#### I was so pleased with the results!!! I took back with me two gold coins and 1,888 (get it) dollars! How cool!!! ![IMG_7880.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/EoEqynRiAkvhnhxqnrZVHYKcYZUiTPRYMMqhzN29xCBkzCjbLcp9FHqN9xpCKE3n9zG.jpeg)
Maybe I should go back and trade some more silver for gold! After all, my goal is to increase my gold holdings. What do you think? ![IMG_7881.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silversaver888/Eoc7yiTFCAeGSdmHxJMMKS758L1ucsYpDwHEyr7maL3xFhZYdMvRvti9MqGMVi5xbkx.jpeg)
I now have added two large gold coins to my gold stack. I could never afford to get in cash, because they are expensive! **And all I had to do was trade my silver when the GSR was right!** I shall talk about the gold coins I got in my next article on precious metals.

This is while silver builds the stack but GOLD is the way

Gold builds wealth while silver stacking is a play on liquidity with some upside potential. Once you turn your focus to getting some gold represented, you won't regret it.
