This Week's Precious Metal Pickups!

I Love stacking silver & gold. There are a few hobbies in my life that I have never been able to put down, and stacking is surely one of them. I love walking into a coin shop and searching through bins of random rounds & bars.....and I love it when I score!

My wife doesn't care, my daughter is somewhat interested, so I want to share with you all my weekly hauls!

This week was a week of premiums! I think its something that happens to every stacker at some point. At first, we strive to put as much weight as we can into the safe. Something happens after a while and we tend to look at pieces that will complement our stack. I always keep track of my PPO (price per ounce) in my homemade excel sheet and try to keep things as low as possible, but sometimes I cannot help myself!

First Up: A coin that I've been searching for (at a decent price) for a while. I'm a big fan of the Perth Mint. This year they introduced a new coin, the Silver Swan. These coins went fast, only 25K were minted in the first year offerings. I picked these two up for a cool $45 each.

To stay in line with the Perth Mint theme, I couldn't resist this 1998 Kangaroo, still in mint capsule and in great shape!

I love Political pieces someday I'll get to tell my kids, grandkids stories about my time and these coins will serve as that spark. Picked this Donald Trump Inauguration Norfed round.

I have a few of these Certi-Lock 2017 Pandas w mantis privy. @ $38 I could not resist adding another. Only 2K of these!

Last but not least is my two gold pieces. Especially the 2004 Series I Lunar Monkey <- Perth Mint and a 1999 Canadian Maple w/privy. I scored these for a good price and added two more 1/10 ozt rounds to my stack!

I picked up (and failed to photograph) 6 Franks for my 90% stash. Can't stress enough, I think it is super important to always be adding 90% to any stack. Divisible, easy to sell, and you can buy a few at a time, building tube stacks slowly but surely!

Hope you all are getting your own great deals and awesome finds. Check me out next week for my weekly LCS scores!
