I’ve been stacking for nearly a year now. Still new, but I’ve learned a lot and am loving this.

State of the Stack:

Gold: 8 ozt
Silver: 465 ozt (including 30lbs Constitutional, in the white tubes and coin rolls.)

I’m looking forward to growing my stack, and watching others do the same.

Most of my stack has been acquired through APMEX, an LCS and a few local pawn shops.

Hoping to learn more ins/outs for buying from others.

All gains are from short term option plays on SPY/SPX. 0dtes to about 1-2 weeks to expiry. Puts, Calls and Debit spreads to cap my losses. Worked out well so far but obviously a lot of luck involved here. Keeping about 50-60% in cash for Uncle Sam and gambling with the rest

So, I learned a long time ago that AG or silver is antimicrobial. with that knowledge, I started putting pure silver coins in my water picture in the refrigerator, the water tank on my Ninja Lux, and in my water bottle I use all day.

This got me thinking. What do other people do with their silver that most would find weird?

Helping my parents move and found this book with dimes from 1946 through 2010. Is this worth anything more than face value? Anything specific we should be looking for?

Style: Masterful cinematic oil painting, Baroque-inspired fine art, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, rich impasto brushwork, expressive painterly textures, visible canvas grain, ornate gilded accents, luminous gold leaf effects, radiant golden rim lighting, atmospheric volumetric light, swirling ethereal smoke and dust, high-contrast burnished gold, amber, and deep obsidian palette, museum-quality realism, epic scale, classical Renaissance and Baroque influence, intricate tactile detailing, soft atmospheric perspective, painterly depth, timeless mythological aesthetic, emotionally powerful, highly detailed, masterpiece.

Model: Krea 2 Turbo

No clue what they are, found them behind a house I just bought.

Been mapping the same battle in gold since Monday's open. Here's the whole story in levels, and what actually matters into tomorrow.

▎THE RECEIPTS SO FAR

• 4,202 — Monday's Asia high, rejected at the ceiling zone called pre-open
• 4,164–4,178 — the band. FIVE rejections across two sessions. Every approach sold
• 4,148–50 — the shelf. Held once, sliced on the second visit
• 4,128–31 — the floor. Defended 4 times Monday, then asked again and again tonight: 4,125.6 → 4,124.2 → 4,122.6 → 4,121.4 → each low lower, each bounce weaker
• 4,120 — the trapdoor. Touched overnight, 4,116s printed

▎WHY 4,120 IS THE WHOLE GAME

Below it sits an air pocket — barely any traded history until ~4,088, and under that the 4,066–70 zone where Friday's NFP rally launched. Air pockets are where moves accelerate. And per the COT report, funds ADDED longs into this bounce (194K net) — meaning a wall of stops lives right under this line. Their exit is the fuel.

▎THE HONEST CATCH

The dollar (~101) and 10-year yield (~4.47%) are both BELOW the levels that power real gold breakdowns. That's why this selling grinds instead of runs — and why overnight already faked below three separate levels and rescued each one. Wick breaks mean nothing here. Only closes count.

▎WHAT DECIDES IT

Fed minutes, Wednesday 18:00 UTC. September hike odds sit near 50% after the soft jobs print. Hawkish minutes = yields get the fuel and the pocket opens toward 4,088 then 4,066–70. Dovish = the crowded dip-buy gets paid and 4,148/4,164 come back overhead. Until then: a close under 4,120 opens the pocket, a reclaim of 4,131 makes this the bear trap of the week, and a daily close over 4,178 flips the whole structure.

What are your thoughts? My Fiancé found this in her grandpas collection.

I found this in the coinstar yesterday after cashing in my change. Is it worth anything more than the $22 I saw on here by chance? Thanks in advance!

I had to be fairly picky with these pics as there's so much more! I use Numista to categorize all of my coins and banknotes and can link that if someone would like. The goal is to get a coin from every country - 148 countries (200 issuers) and counting!

Anyway, thanks for looking and please let me know what you think or maybe what your favourite is. :)

Thanks to FindBullionDeals.com they post all spot deals from all major dealers. Thanks to them. 🙏

No marks inside but it has some weight for its size

Received my 2026 uncirculated set, and I’m missing the Abraham Lincoln quarter. Should I return it or keep it and say it’s worth more because it’s an error? 😂

So as the title says grandma died and she was born in the depression and as such had about 100 lbs of silver coins. I am google lending stuff that seems obviously rare, half dollars, (total novice but, standing liberty? barber?) hundreds and hundreds of dimes and quarters that are all pre 1964 etc. and some commemorative Canadian silver dollars all uncirculated.

My question is, what do I need to look out for? I've separated all the half dollars into JFK, Ben Franklin, standing liberty, and Barber. The quarters and dimes we are still working on but there may be thousands of coins! just need someone to give me some jumping off point to understand what we need to do with this.
