RE: Winners - Silver Gold Stackers Engagement Initiative & New Question - 5 HSBI For Grabs

in FreeComplimentslast year

This is a great initiative!

How did you get into silver/gold stacking?

I got into silver stacking after learning more about the metal in my later years. I always knew that silver was somewhat rare and when I learned that old coins were made of silver the idea fascinated me. When I learned that the silver was removed from our money and replaced with mostly copper, I began looking for ways to collect more of this beautiful shiny stuffs.

What was the reason you got interested in the topic?

It began with my early fascination with numismatics, when i was young my mom would bring me to local coin dealers and I thought all the old coins were really neat. I liked the designs and the history that went with them. This transitioned into stacking later, when I realized the value of the metal (silver specifically) was extremely underpriced and under-appreciated, I decided that accumulating the metal would become the new priority.

Hi @ironshield, I'm sorry for replying after the payout window but that's because I had to take care of my health first before catching up on missed engagement. Today I'm writing the winners post and new question so therefore I'm going to read everything :)

Thank you for your answer and I too find it fascinating to learn that back in the days coins were made of silver.. I've seen some pretty ones already.

How cool of your mom! Amazing to share such an experience with her for coins..

Thanks for sharing!
