The Changing Game of Silver Stacking: What I'm Stacking More and Less of

TLDRPremiums on silver have dropped, leading to major shifts in my silver stacking strategy. I am stacking more of generic 1oz silver rounds and 90% silver (dimes, quarters, and half dollars), as the premiums are lower on these. I am also stacking more Sovereign Silver coins, such as Australian kangaroos and American Silver Eagles, as their premiums have also decreased. However, I am avoiding big silver bars and 40% silver coins (Kennedies, War nickels) due to their low desirability and lower buyback value.
