Always the bigger stuff is better, much easier to store than the tiny stuff. I know they're a lot of people out there new to silver/gold stacking and any way they can get their feet wet is a good idea!
I love these old pieces too, I'm not sure what this one would go for these days. But I'm not selling anyway!
After the $51 mark the first smack down happened on silver. We'll see what happens over the next day or two. As for the ratio it will be interesting, the world is a different place than in previous cycles. The old cycles may prove true or we may find a whole new one! Investing is never boring!
