When my Father passed away in a freak hunting accident his coin collection was passed on to me but that wasn't what got me into stacking. In fact there was a time I was desperate for cash and nearly sold that collection to a dealer. But there were the good times I spent with my Father around his collection, fun memories that were treasured.
I held on to them.

I tightened my bootstraps and apron. Got my Nursing Certificate and planned a stable future for my growing boys. After several years of long front line shifts things weren't going according to my meticulous budget plan. Inflation seemed to out pace what cost of living increases I got. Something didn't seemed right.

I looked for investing ideals, Gold specialist Martin Armstrong had a fascinating and revealing economic model seminar, then I found Chris Duane's YouTube series; The Greatest Truth never told. I had to explore the rabbit hole further.
Books like the Creature from Jekyll Island, Charle Savoie's The Silver Stealers, Mike Maloney's Youtube video series; The Hidden secrets of money.
I've been Stacking ever since.
