I think I've become addicted

Picked this up from my local shop but I've never seen a silver bar speckled like this. He tested it and it's legit.

Love me some shiny 🤩

Started in December 2025.

Happy to answer questions or provide close-ups.

Just sharing my stack 🙂

Hope you all like it!

I've been rocking 100:1 as my ratio for about a year and a half now. Curious what you other stackers stack at. (also i own platinum in a ratio of 1 oz plat to 4 oz gold)

hello dear when re organizing my beloved jewelry box i decided to document it lol i would say 85% of this is second hand with some new and some gifted. pretty much everything pictured is 925, except some 950, 800, 830, and some gold (mostly 14k)

pictures

1. whole collection laid out
2. everything weighed -gold and later pictured
3. my beloved bangles that i’m not taking off (hurts)
4. my beautiful mirror and brush set (50$!!!!!) (i use them daily too)
5. birks plate used for skin care (this is plated)
6. my wood jewelry box +some other random stuff in there, the closed box is my 2 pearl necklaces and below that is kit for jewelry thrifting and whatnot
7. my largest piece
8. my favorite pieces rn (the ring to the left weighs 54g!!!)

not pictured is some random stuff -my 830 fork in the dishwasher -my favourite earrings that i forgot to take off when photographing </3

pretty much all these pieces see air time regularly so i don’t really(?) think i have a problem but my parents think i do lol

thank you for viewing

My wife got flowers, and I got a Panda. Win, win. Also, I figured with spot price right around $73 at the moment, how could I pass this up for $75.

I have a lot of .999 filings from ring making. I thought some 1 gram vials would be fun to throw on my website but not sure what to price them at. I know spot would be ideal but I would like to have some premium since packing these little things is deceptively time consuming

Went to my LCS today JUST to purchase a little over a dozen coins. I was going to purchase some Maples and ASE’s to complete a few tubes and also snag a few Kookaburras. I had NO intention of leaving with any bars today. I’m a relatively new stacker(started around last thanksgiving) and I’ve seen this bar frequently in other stacks and I’ve been a fan. Long story short, I left with this beauty and a few Kookaburras… no maples or ASE’s 😅. It’s REALLY hard for me to not purchase 10oz bars whenever I go to my LCS… one day I’ll be better… just not today 🤪

I bought the ASE rather early into my stacking journey. I’m curious on everyone’s opinion on where it falls on the “pretty” to “tarnished/ugly” scale in terms of its toning.

I know it is bullion...but I can't help to stare at this! I feel very strongly tempted to frame it...not sure if that is a good idea...please help me decide...

Just bought this Swiss “junk” silver lot on eBay for 253.00. Slightly under 5 dollars above melt. I’ve been on a foreign (I’m American, so foreign to me) coin itch recently, and always thought Swiss coins and Japanese coins were absolutely beautiful. I felt priced out with Swiss silver here in the US due to shipping and also individual coins being way more than melt, but I felt like this was a good deal considering the current prices. I haven’t seen a deal this close to spot on foreign silver with free shipping ever, so I jumped on it. Only thing that threw me off is one of the 1 Franc coins look like they are marked 1980 for a mint year, but it also could be a 1960. I couldn’t get a good view from the picture. I’d love to hear about you guys too, feel free to give me tips and cool foreign coins to collect!

I really wanna get into Japanese silver when I have more spending cash. I’d love to get 1 yen coins/trade dollars and Sen coins specifically. Any tips on those too are welcomed!
