If you’ve spent any time around the #silvergoldstackers community, you’ll have heard the term “silver stacking” thrown around quite a bit. But what does it actually mean??? Simply put, silver stacking is the art, and sometimmes obsession — of collecting and holding physical silver over time. It’s not about fancy digital trades or speculative paper promises. It’s about real, tangible metal in your hand. Whether its coins, bars, or rounds, stackers aim to accumulate silver ounce by ounce, building their own little fortress of wealth.
Some stack purely for weight, he goal being to gather as many ounces as possible at the lowest cost per ounce. Others enjoy the collecting side, picking up limited-edition coins, stunning proofs, or theamed rounds that carry stories as much as value. Both approaches have their place, and often you’ll find most stackers walk a line somewhere between investor and collector.

Security and storage are big considerations too. As your stack grows, so does the importance of keeping it safe, tracked, and well hidden — whether that’s in a home safe, a vault, or your secret “buried treasure” spot that only you know about! At its heart, silver stacking is about more than shiny metal — it’s about financial independence, security, and a sense of community. Each coin added to the pile is a step towards preserving wealth outside the system, and a shared nod between fellow stackers who know exactly why we do it.
Whether you’re stacking for weight, design, or the thrill of the hunt — welcome to the club. Stack on, stack strong, and remember: there’s no such thing as too much silver.
I got a Stack of dinner plates to wash, stack of snow tires ready to put on my car, and a stack of bills to be paid too.
I can make a stack of waffles too.
!LOL
There's an easy solution to the second one. Live someplace it doesn't snow. :D
Chances are, it may be a place that doesn't have organic and unpasteurized 🍁 Maple syrup for my stack of homemade waffles.
I appreciate the suggestion.

The best success I ever had with silver up to the current appreciation of my physical silver ETC as in removing silver for waste photographic fixer/developer.
Back in the day I used to own a photographic mini-lab. As you are probably aware, old school film contains silver and the effluent from the developing process contains silver.
As silver is highly cyto-toxic ( old cowboy trick of a silver dollar in the water canteen to keep the water sweet-kill bacteria etc.), it was not allowed to go to the municipal drain. In the early days ( 1990's) we'd collect it in 20L drums, and when we had about 30 of them filled, they would be collected and we'd get about £30-40 depending on the silver price ( about £5/oz at the time iirc). Then the regulations changed and collectors needed certification and had increased costs (so they said!) so it changed to "we'll collect it dispose of it for free", then roll into the early 2000's and they started charging £30 at first , then £50 a collection.
At that point someone developed an ion-exchange filter that went in-line with your effluent pipe and removed the silver to a resin cartridge which allowed the waste to go to drain. The setup cost about £3,500 and it took 6 to 12 months to use up a resin cartridge, at which point you paid £600 for a new one.
Here's the good bit, they removed the silver and paid you the difference between a new cartridge and the recovered silver.
It was an amazing deal, I was being paid about £1,500 each cartridge, I paid of my system in a couple of years and after that it was free money !!
Cool is not the word I'd use :D
I have a fair amount of silver. Several 1kilo ingots I mainly use as paperweights and a lot (over 1k) of coins. The coins I got for historical significance. My most interesting would be a silver sheckel of Tyre - the type reputed to be that used as the 30 pieces of silver from the bible. Lots of forgeries around but even if it is I'm not that bothered. There is enough there to make me comfortable with the provenance. A King John (he of Robin Hood fame) silver penny too. Mostly I bought the stuff when I had the money so that I wouldn't spend it though I most certainly will spend it at some point to keep myself alive.
It really isn't cool at all.
