Hi sirstacksalot I like that big coin. One of my favorites, isn't a coin at all... It's a solid 14 K 21 jewel watch from 1884, keeping time like a champ. I bought this thing at a local gun show, being a sucker for watches and gold, it seemed like the right thing to do, at the time, then the regret....
Wait, I paid how much for a 58 gram watch, with maybe 28 grams of 14 K gold! that's only 16.something grams of 999 gold!....
Hindsight for you hey, I think I only paid about $300 cdn for it. looking back, I sure wish I'd have stacked a little more shiny yellow or shiny silver! even if I was over paying at the time, but I could have probably got a lot more gold in bar form for that price ;)
Thanks for your post, I hope others post some of their favorites.

Thanks for the share. I think it looks great! You have to have a few pieces that you just love to look at, that's what makes it worthwhile.
Take my rat coin for instance, the premiums on 1 Kilo coins are absolutely crazy.......yet I had to have it!
Stackers will go round-and-round as to what the best investment is (rounds, mint coins, numismatic, junk, etc). In the end, you have to have a piece or two that you just like to look at!
STACK ON!!!
Stacking is just like life, it comes down to your personal choice. I know that when I tried to sell some high premium stuff, it was put on a scale with the regular bullion. If you have a few pieces that will never go on a scale (at least while you're alive) thats OK. For me now, I buy the cheapest bullion I can find, or deals like I recently posted on 2 more watches, but they aren't solid gold, so they don't fit into the stack at all. They go in the quick flip pile.
